I'm for the rights of individuals [adults] to consume anything they choose [including drugs] as long as the consumption doesn't harm, influence,[or potentially] injure another. I hope and prefer my choice to use anything considered unhealthy... doesn't influence others to do the same, especially kids and young adults.
okay, good
*
I'm against all laws which would jail an individual for buying or using drugs.
okay, good
*
I beleive in ALL free speech including [non required] teacher-lead prayer in classrooms and school sponsored events.
okay, mediumgood
*
I believe the government should be kept out of the matter of abortion, leaving the question to each person for their own consideration. No taxpayer-funded abortions
okay, ignorant but well meant
*
I support all rights to private property and protection of my own property.
you're arguing with the wrong pirates, mate
*
I'm for equal civil rights for all individuals regardless of race, age, religion...etc
okay, mandatory political statement heard
*
I'm against "affirmative action" or any kind of govt intervention or assumption one group should have an advantage or better access to anything over another.
okay, ignorant but well meant (escher's waterfall got this)
*
I'm against govt subsidies to business, labor, or any special interest... govt should not have power to progrssively tax [individuals] or business for purpose of income redistribution.
okay, idealistic and dumb but part of a larger reasoned framework
*
I'm against total dependence on govt to protect me from criminals. I have a right to carry and use a firearm for defense of my family and self.
okay, idealistic and dumb but part of a larger reasoned framework
*
I don't believe govt should have power to redistribute wealth, or to control or manage trade.
okay, idealistic and dumb but part of a larger reasoned framework

I believe the govt should "butt out" of our childrens educational process. Schools should be managed locally. Power should be returned to parents to direct the education of their children, without govt intervention. Parents should have control of all funds spent for their children's education.
it depends on the particular issue. it is a good thing to have certain things centralized. our system's failure at centralization is when rich kids have books and poor kids don't, for which there is no excuse
*
I don't believe in Social Security and it should be phased out. It's up to the individual and family to secure their own future.
the individual does not always get enough fair breaks to stay above water, especially in the type of nation you'd like. the family is a social unit that may not be stable for the long term future, things are changing faster and faster. conservatives really gotta get with reality
*
I beleive in ongoing and consistant govt reduction for aid to the poor. All charity/social assistance should eventually come from private groups like Red Cross/Salv Army/UnitedWay,corporations,churches/Synagogues/Mosques...etc, and individuals. Americans will become more compasionate and caring when they are free to choose where and how much they give. It's human nature for most people to accept responsibility for helping others... and they will do it more when not forced too.
LOL

overall grade*: 6.25 / 13, which is 48%. you fail at perception
evolution happens at different rates for different people, and since according to the above posts' reasoning you are one of the more "intellectual kind of conservative", i'll assume you are relatively win at perception compared to your peers. your grade will be adjusted in a way deemed appropriate by the bluelight supreme court
faxing them...
alright it seems you are eligible to pass, for now. you are on academic probation and your score is 48% + 10% noob bonus + 10% for trying. that's 68% which is a C+
* "okay's" got a point each. half a point if okay but ignorant, a quarter point for slightly right or at least reasoned answer
). So we need to instead explain what's going on in the extreme categories, rather than point to a general linear trend.
