I don't think it leans one way or another. Everyone's accounted for: conservatives, libertarians, establishment liberals, leftists, whatever IMU is.

I'd be more openly progressive if progressives didn't always disappoint by shedding their progressive masks after winning election and revealing themselves to be slightly right of center moderates. Not sure how much different Romney would've been than President Obama. Romney might've been more progressive. President Obama's making up for lost time somewhat these last months of his Administration. I'd like him to have pushed Congress on health-care more, called the financial-banking industry to task more and not appointed a drug warrior AG; oh, and maybe bomb fewer brown people. Otherwise, I've been more than happy with his Administration, esp his supreme court appointments.

Hank generally leans right. Bernie was an exception. Libertarians are more right of center. That's why Gary Johnson (former republican) is the choice for MANY conservatives that hate Trump.

You must not know much about Johnson. He refuses to criticize Hillary and trashes Trump every chance he gets. Also, we are talking about Hank and I. Gary Johnson isn't a board member.

What positions of the right do you think I hold? I'm in favor of the following:
Drastically reducing our military and defense budget
Completely opening the borders
Completely legalizing every drug and prostitution and gambling
Gay marriage, although it is almost distasteful that you have to say you're favor of something this basic

The only thing that you can say I have in common with conservatives is appealing for smaller government, less taxes, and more fiscal responsibility, except modern conservatives aren't for any of that shit any longer and haven't been for decades.

In short, you're full of shit.

If you took a test you would end up on the conservative side.

Ive taken many and I'm always libertarian, which is decidedly not conservative. When it's a binary test I always score very highly on the liberal side. The problem with you lefties is your arrogance when it comes to anyone who disagrees with you. Conservatives may be dumber, but they don't have nearly the sense of entitlement.

Post subject:  Re: Which way does this board lean?

I think it leans left. If for no other reason than even many that lean right go lean back left on social issues. There is also some rub off on everyone that has grown up in Chicago as a democratic machine.

What I find more interesting though is on many topics that are more of a national matter the board seems somewhat insular. What I mean by that is the stances, defining of problems and their solutions reflect the relatively small area this board represents.

i don't identify as such, and i don't think not wanting to bomb other countries or oppress gays means you're a screeching libtard. whatever. shame that that's the furthest toward the progressive side their political spectrum goes. says something about our political landscape that supporting basic human rights (like the right of people in other countries not to be droned to death) is somehow extreme.

Even if you granted FF request and moved him left that list clearly illustrates that you are wrong.

Obama's presidency destroyed whatever was left of the anti-war left in this country. Haven't heard a peep from them in a decade.

It's not a request, it's a fact, as I showed.

Also, Hussra is on the left and you didn't even include him. Hockey Gay said he wants to bomb Muslims, not ban them, so you can move him left too

Thats ok. Was just my thought on it. Doesn't really hurt anyone. I think my insular point is close to being on though.
