Good. You figured it out. Now read my answer again.

It describes a half-baked but sorely misguided atheist. May be, when you grow up, you'll realize that there is no conflict between true Creationists and true scientists. Don't be offended, please, even great Lorant Da Vinci had realized that there is G-d only in his mature years... just through a casual observation of a blade of grass. You will also understand the humor of President Reagan, who said once that he finds it "interesting" that all pro-abortionists were born already... lol

There is a hope for you too.

Put it this way: if you ever decided to run for president as a Republican, you would never make it past the first day. Your fellow republicans would crucify you for being a "godless liberal" and a "baby killer".

Dumbo: That's funny, because it's bedwetting conservatives who claim Obama is a "fascist" and a "war monger" for killing Bin Laden, nabbing Moamoar Gaddafi, and drone strikes on all these Al-Qaeda terrorists. Try again, child.

Republican without a doubt. I agree with some of the things listed above, but disagree with two.
One doesn't have to believe in everything every member of the party says.

You pretty much share Obama's views.

The only people who will say otherwise are your tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorists who think Obama is a secret muslim born in Kenya who wants to secretly take away our guns.

I consider myself extremely Conservative and I agree with you on almost everything.

You're definately Republican

Yes of course an Atheist can be a consevative. You sound like you are a more libertarian leaning conservative.

by **sylvester37** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 6:05 am

When you figure it out, you can add a few.

Believes a bar owner should be allowed to ban blacks from entering
Believes that the market will correct if Chinese toy manufacturers use lead in paint on baby toys. Eventually, US parents will get tired of brain damaged babies and stop buying the toys.
You would claim that you are not isolationist but your monetary policy would force it.

Figure out what you are yet?
