5. What are your thoughts on Global Warming?
Doesn't exist
It exists, but human civilisation has little or no effect on it. It is a cyclical function, so there is no sense in hurting economic growth to try and stop something we didn't create.

6. Of the political historical figures listed below, who do you most identify with?
Ronald Reagan
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Olof Palme
Karl Marx
Benito Mousolini
Ludwig Von Mises
7. A recent study revealed that the United States is the only First World country which as a whole, still holds a hostile attitude towards Evolution. Why is this the case?
Because the United States, remains, the only Western nation that is fighting to preserve traditional morals, which is undermined by evolution. The people of Europe & Canada have been brainwashed by secular socialists.
Because the United States remains today, the only Western country that as a whole, hold an anti-scientific/intellectual attitude. The people of America have been indoctrinated by old-fashioned religious authorities.
This is no surpise. The United States, being the most capitalistic country in the West, is also has a society which is unlikely to view things analytically. This pereserves the position of powerful capitalists in the market.
Because the people of America have been collectively lead to make subconcious decisions by our media and government. We must let everyone make up their own minds, independent of any large entity.
8. What are your thoughts on the the healthcare system?
Healthcare prices in the United States have gotten too far out of hand. We must legislate various regulation to curb prices on medicine.
Healthcare in the United States has become too problematic as a private entity. It is time we turn it over to the state like in Sweden or Norway, to enrue all citizens have access to the care they need.
"Universal healthcare" is just a propaganda term for socialised medicine. Don't let the American left fool you, in Norway and Sweden, access to healthcare is free, but second-rate. Just as Michael Savage said: "Everybody gets it but it's not that good..."
The American healthcare system is a stark example of what capitalism does to a society. The liberal view of universal healthcare is insufficient to help the problem, only a full change to socialism can do that.
9. Generally speaking, "proportional representation" in a legislature is the most fair, as it ensures all groups are proportionally represented. How do you feel about this claim?
Agree because it helps small parties get some level of say in a democratic government.
Disagree because it can give leverage to small extremist parties.
Agree because it gives better voter security to the poor and minority groups
Disagree, because full democracy leaves danger for a "tyranny of the majority" to arise
Agree, because it makes a one-party state nearly impossible
Disagree because it makes a one-party state nearly impossible
10. Of the choices below, what do you feel is the most effective protector of freedom?
A free market economy with no monopolies
The socialisation of essential utilities
The regulation of large businesses to ensure economic security
State control of most enterprises with an equal distribution of wealth
A capitalist society with a set of strong traditional morals. Each component will ensure a balance between the two.
Keeping potential radicals out of office to protect the citizens from revolution
11. In your view, "Freedom" pertains to (if you feel freedom pertains to all these things, pick what you think is most important):
The right of a citizen say what he/she wishes
The right of a citizen to practice the faith he/she chooses
The right of a citizen pursue economic prosperity
The right of a citizen to do what whatever he/she wants, as long as it does not hurt others
The right of a citizen to be free from economic opression
12. What is your view on affirmative action?
It is does more harm than good, because it teaches minorities to rely on their colour/ethnicity to gain a job/admission to college
It is good, because it gives historically disadvantaged groups the opportunity to better themselves socially and economically
It is harmful, because it causes people to see others in terms of groups rather than individuals
It is a lie of capitalist society to distract poor minorities from issues of economic oppression
It is a dangerous form of social engineering that will eventually incite a race/class war, paving the way to a Communist takeover
13. What is your view on citizen ownership of guns?
It is the only thing that is keeping the government from raiding all of our homes
The Second Amendment is largely open to interpretation, and is at best, a clause that no longer applies. Repeal it.
Keep the Second Amendment a part of the U.S. Constitution, but pass legislation to better regulate the sale of firearms to enure social safety.
The Second Amendment was a business-serving move that has led to the creation of an arms-industry that now cannot be stopped, as to do so, would be "unconstitutional"
Citizen ownership of guns is harmful because it contributes to rebellion against the state.
14. What is your view of the world?
Black and white, everyone is either good or bad.
Black and white with many shades of grey, most people are not good or bad.
There is no good or bad, outside of human construction.
15. How do you feel about States Rights?
Agree with it because it ensures the survival of democracy
Agree with it, but some Fereral Rights must supersede states rights to ensure equality
States rights should be protected at all costs, even at the expense of certain individuals/groups. This is the only way liberty can survive
States rights does more harm than good as it serves as a hinderence to national solidarity
States rights is an abstract, therefore irrelelevant concept. Borders are arbitrarily created for the protection of private property, and mean nothing beyond human conctruction
16. In your view, what is the most important principle is a society?
Liberty
Equality
17. ...And of these principles?
National sovereignty
Diplomacy
18. In your opinion, nationalism is...
