Are you 100% Conservative, 100% Liberal, or something in-between?

The link below show the views of the major topics. Share whether you are a conservative, a liberal, mixed/other, or undecided. If it is mixed/other, please define that view. I'll give mine as a starter.

The Link: http://www.studentnewsdaily.com/conservative-vs-liberal-beliefs/

Abortion:
Mixed/Other - I identify as pro-heart. I believe life starts when the heart first starts beating.

Affirmative Action:
Mixed/Other - Living in a diverse minority community and living in a non-diverse community for a short period of time, I can understand why Affirmative Action is important. At this point, I have not developed a concrete view on this subject.

Death Penalty:
Conservative

Economy:
Mixed/Other - I believe the government is there to protect the citizens from corporate greed. At the same time, I do not believe in a big government. As Thomas Jefferson puts it, " Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ..." With more time, I delve into this topic more.

Education/School vouchers:
Liberal - I do not think vouchers are addressing the real problem of our overall educational system. By providing vouchers, we are taking money away from public schools (many which are underfunded) and pushing the problem elsewhere. Education starts with good teachers. If we hired the brightest and most compassionate teachers, it would make a bigger difference than a lot of "pacifier" programs and building new schools.

Embryonic/stem cell research:
Liberal - As long as the heart has not started to beat, I am all for it.

Energy:

Same-Sex Marriage:

Taxes:
Mixed-Other: At this point, I support flat tax. I am still reading into this issue.

United Nations:
Conservative

War on Terrorism:
Mixed/Other - Some situations have to be dealt initially through force and some situations can be dealt with good diplomacy.

Welfare:
Conservative

[Gnomes]

I'm a centrist and a pragmatist. Being a liberal or a conservative reduces your available options in effective governance that achieves the greatest long-term good. Ideology is the enemy of practicality.
