I couldn't sleep because of this possible Government shutdown !

What if I want less government interfering with gay rights, abortion rights, and use of things like marijuana? Am I a republican? And what about more government military action around the world, like Iraq, Vietnam, etc. I suppose then I am a liberal?!

it just makes you confused

Most people don't want more or less government, they want to keep legislation that is effective or reform or remove legislation that isn't. Phrases like 'more or less government' are meaningless and lazy.

I want those things too. Am I a liberal? I support gay rights, I am pro-choice (on everything) and think marijauna should be legalized (though I have never used it in my life and would not if it were legal...not interested) I think the military should be scary strong but only used to defend our country from foreign threats when absolutely necessary, kind of the same philosophy to carrying a gun with me.

basically I want government OUT of our lives as much as possible. If there is no government BAN on gay marriage, there is no need for gays to get the government to remove the ban. MaWilson said it best...we only need them to remove the obstructions they put in place. Don't put them in place.

You sound very much like a Libertarian to me.
