Left wing:
I think capitalism is broken in America, and we need to have a long, hard look at who's benefitting from the brokenness.

Right wing:
Abortion? Gun rights? I don't know.... it's much harder for me to identify an extreme right-wing position, which is probably an indicator that I lean more right.

Like you I'm a classic liberal but vote Libertarian because it's closest to that view.

But I'm for strong borders, Federalism with strong States, initiating war when appropriate, and against abortion.

I mean, isn't it enshrined in our Declaration of Indepenence these very words: " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"  That should include everyone, not just straifght heterosexual people.

I don't believe the government should have any say in marriage. All of those relationships should be civil unions open to anyone or any number of people. Those who want marriage can also get one, but that should not be a government sanctioned or regulated event.
