The answer seems obvious to me. I don't understand, though: You've got firm opinions on a wide range of issues, and you can't figure out which political party you prefer? Why not?

You're a mess.

You sound like someone with a republican bent. Although, I've not figured out what makes for a democrat versus a republican, other than the fact that I expect democrats to be progressive/liberals, while republicans to be conservative. In reality, however, that is not true. I'm an independent, and vote based on competence and policies, not along party lines.

Those I highlighted in red make you an authoritarian. Which, interestingly enough, doesn't bode with your idea of "leave us be" either. You want government to control as you see fit, and not as YOU see fit.

You see flat tax system as something fitting, that pushes you towards having an oligarchical bent, while anti-war stance, desire for alternative fuel/conservation etc makes you a left leaner.

Try this test and see/share where you land... :The Political Compass

Great point. He says he's a conservative, but I know a number of conservatives on this forum who would disagree. It sounds like he wants a lot of government intervention into our lives - even government-sponsored religion.

He may be a social conservative, but he's not a libertarian conservative.

Well that doesn't seem right now does it?
