Who would I vote for?

The Trouble of Voting (for me, anyway)

The trouble of voting for me is that absolutely no one is a politician I can refer to as "like-minded". When my town had its local elections, none of the politicians were open at all about their political beliefs, only about their political parties.

Why is it that I can never find any 21st-century versions of Teddy Roosevelt or of Woodrow Wilson among today's politicians? Why can I never find a single political party in any country on Earth who is Culturally Liberal, Secular, pro-Comprehensive Sex Ed, anti-War-on-Drugs, anti-Legal-Tender Laws, anti-censorship, anti-obscenity-laws, pro-tiny-government, pro-multiparty-system, anti-bigotry, anti-anarchy, appreciative of same-sex marriage, appreciative of a woman's right to abort, pro-Laissez-Faire-economics, pro-Free Trade, pro-very-low-flat-tax, anti-progressive-tax, anti-redistribution-of-wealth, pro-business, pro-charity, pro-public ed, pro-public healthcare, supportive of keeping government out of public health & ed, anti-Legal-Tender-Laws, supportive of letting managers give bigger checks to workers of stronger work ethic and higher education, hostile to Minimum Wage (the opposite of work-ethic-based-pay), tough on actual crimes like rape & murder & theft, pro-Israel, pro-NATO, pro-ISAF, pro-every-Liberal-Democracy-on-Earth, anti-every-Third-World-Dictator-on-Earth, pro-Wilsonian, pro-Liberal-Internationalist, and pro-War-on-Terror all in one? Because voting is not for idealistic optimists like myself. Instead I have to do heavy research on candidates from various parties, figure out which of their policies I love and which ones I hate, then vote for the ones who have the most political common ground with me.

Who I would vote for among the Grand Five

What a run-on sentence I did up there! But now that we have cleared my feelings toward voting, let's get to who I would vote for among my favorite countries on Earth.

In my country (the US) today, I would vote for:

1. The Libertarian Party
1. these guys know exactly how to run a country with regards to domestic problems like environment, economy, society, crime and so forth. However, Foreign Policy is where they flunk out big-time, in which case I would go for my number 2 choice.
2. The Liberal faction of the Republican Party
1. Liberal Republicans do exist, they are culturally liberal, supportive of Free Enterprise, and they are generally and historically Wilsonian in foreign policy.
2. These people are also known as "Moderate Republicans" and "Rockefeller Republicans"
3. I cannot stand Conservative Republicans and I especially cannot stand the childish clowns of the Tea Party movement!

Things to clarify about the rest of parties:

• The Democrats have repeatedly lied to me about their political "diversity" and their intentions, continuing to be the party of misandry, anti-white racism, progressive tax, over-regulation of economy, defeat by Third World Tyrants, and surrender to them. I refuse to ever identify as a Democrat ever again. I am not registered to them anymore, and I am registered Independent currently but in the future I will register as a Libertarian.
• The Greens and other third parties are more based on rhetoric than reason, drawing me away from them.

In the United Kingdom today, I would vote for:

1. Libertarian Party UK
1. These guys are similar to the US Libertarian Party. Enough said.
2. Tory Party UK
1. These guys are, behaviorally, what the Republican Party in my country used to be before the disasters of the 20th Century. How they should have stayed, one could say
1. The Tories had Winston Churchill, Britain's deadliest asset against Hitler, and Tony Blair, the British bane of Saddam, as Presidents of Britain.
2. Even David Cameron presents himself to me as Wilsonian in foreign policy, whether he knows he comes off to me that way or not.
3. The Tories permit large volumes of Secularists and Evolutionists like me to exist and to have a voice in politics, and that's personal to me because I am a Deist and an Evolutionist. And a future Biologist.

In Canada today, I would vote for:

1. Canadian Libertarian Party
1. I know most of you think I am just worshiping minor parties at this point, but these guys are my actual #1 choice for parties in Canada.
2. Canadian Conservative Party
1. Truth be told, the only thing I like about this party is its foreign policy, for example, I find their unwillingness to pass or even debate laws on abortion to be rather lazy.

In Australia today, I would vote for:

1. Liberal Party
1. "Liberal" in Australia means a person who loves economic freedom more than he or she loves social freedom but still loves social freedom.
2. This political party manages to have a history and track-record of promoting human rights abroad and opposing Communism and other hateful, barbaric ideals.

The Liberal Party is the party I would vote cross-the-ballot for, unlike in the above countries, I would not split the ticket, but I don't live in Australia so why should I care, right? Wrong, I care about expressing with full honesty who I would vote for if I lived in other countries.

In New Zealand today, I would vote for:

1. ACT Party
1. These guys are a smaller Center-Right party than the Nationals, however they come off to me as the better-behaved party. This is due to the fact that ACT supports Laissez-Faire economy as opposed to the Welfare-capitalism of the Nationals, they are far more Culturally Liberal than the Nationals, and they are equally as hawkish against Third World Dictators and genocidal guerrilla groups.

Why all Center-right parties?

Because....

1. People on the Far Left and Far Right are morally identical to me, from the Soviets of the Far Left to the Nazis of the Far Right.
2. Center-Left parties tend to be the ones of... everything I associated the US Democrats with, really. The Center-left parties of the world only offer realpolitik and political pessimism
3. Center-Right parties tend to be the modern Wilsonian Internationalists, relying on Wilson's now 93-year-old brand of idealism and on every brand available of political OPTIMISM, especially in the face of aggressive, genocidal tyrants like Bashar Assad of Syria and that cancerous plague known as Kim Jong-un of North Korea.

My Voting patterns (a conclusion)

I avoid extremes from both wings, but I resent Liberals more than I resent Conservatives, but I still resent Conservatives. For example, if a Conservative thinks he is incapable of error but legislates Abstinence-only programming, I officially hate that person with the optimistic back-up of "at least he knows economics and diplomacy, and at least he only stands by minor sexual freedom abuses like misrepresenting the human body to students". But if a Liberal claimed to embody perfection then legislated Abstinence Only, I would hold an ardent grudge against him, knowing he would let far worse sexual freedom abuses slide if they were conducted by Third World sadomasochists (i.e. requiring men to sexually assault & murder women who show any more than just hands and faces in public, as the Islamic Theocracies always do)
