I'm a libertarian with some conservative views, I've been an admirer of congressman Ron Paul.

I believe in personal freedom and that government should stay the hell outta my life.

Some would call me a "conspiracy theorist" since I occasionally talk about a new world order (it does exist do your research!) and am a critic of the federal reserve system.



Im curious though what are the general view points of other ENFP's? Left? Right? Authortarian? Libertarian?

I am curious to know.

I dunno, I've stayed away from the subject because people get pretty aroused by it, including myself. I've learnt to keep my mouth shut before I'm kneeling on the table jabbing someone in the chest with my index finger to get a point across...:dry:

But I can't say I'm a really deep believer in zeitgeist, but I very much agree with the whole 'profit is life' as being very damaging to the world and our souls.

hmm, left wing in the USA would be considered moderately right wing here in the Netherlands...
Guess I'm in the middle, social liberal. You can do whatéver you want, based on your own responsibility, as long as there's good health care and social care for everyone, and progressive taxes. It's a stupid idea that everyone can earn a living when they try hard enough, you have to help the people that can't manage as long as they're trying.
Very important is some kind of bonding between the people, we have some "politicians" like Geert Wilders, his political views are creating a divide between the dutch people and the muslim immigrants in our country. First thing the new government should do is creating some proper mutual trust.

Anarcho-capitalist. I think UHC is immoral; health care is not a right, you can not have a right to the labors of another individual. More people should be put to death... and much much faster. The government should be extremely minimal dealing only with the protection of rights and extreme emergencies. I'm also pretty close to considering indoctrinating children in any type of religious view to be child abuse.

But I love you and you and you. Really.

I'm pretty far to the left myself. I'm a big supporter of gay marriage, and I think that voting for someone because of their religious views is ridiculous. Oh yea, and I think it'd be nice if separation between church and state actually existed.

Wow man! :shocked:
Really, no offense, with the greatest respect to all of you, but we don't even think about that here anymore, those things you're against are considered medieval here man!

(Well, let me nuance that, we dó have a relatively big christian party in the Netherlands, but it's the ideas (in line with christian values) that get the votes. No-one's pretending to be christian here in order to get votes. )

(let me nuance that too, there's still a lot of óther pretending going on in our politics anyway:wink:)

My family is extremely catholic and since I live with them I'm forced to go to church every sunday. During every election season we're constantly preached to about how we HAVE to vote-pro life (AKA republican) because it's what the church wants us to do. And now that a democrat's in office all we hear about every sunday is how bad Obama and the world are, and how we must oppose him and all his policies because he's pro-choice. It ticks me off. These morons don't even realize that the president has NO CONTROL over Roe v. Wade; that's the supreme court's arena. I can't tell you how much I hate listening to some old man tell me how to vote and how bad I am for supporting Obama every single sunday.

I voted for Obama... and even though he is worthy of much criticism at the moment, I'm pretty glad I voted for him. My current job is a direct result of the federal stimulus, in the form of a National Institutes of Health grant at a neuroscience lab at a University. I spent over a year searching for a good research job when I finished college and I finally got one and can pay off my student loans without serving food or cleaning houses!!
 
#19 ·
I understand that many people don't like Obama, and that's fine. But I sure as hell (I guess I'll be there) don't want to have some priest tell me which political candidates to vote for and which issues to support.

Oh and Funky, I'm well aware of the bigotry and primitive nature that exists in the "land of the free." I'm exposed to it every goddamn sunday.

I've watched that movie, Jesus Camp, about radical christians in the US.
Not saying that the church you visit is that radical, or that many churches are that radical, but it's so damn intriguing (for an outsider) to see what's going on there. It shows that kind of militant closed-mindedness what you're talking about I guess... :mellow:

Do you still feel accepted while rejecting the doctrines of your church? I mean, by your parents for instance.
 
#21 ·
I watched that movie in Social Psych last year, and honestly it didn't surprise me. Jesus totally wanted us to kill all the Muslims, after all. That's what "turn the other cheek" means to many people here.

But my parents have no idea how many of the catholic doctrines I've rejected. But even then, there's definitely a good deal of tension. For example, they caught me eating meat one friday during lent, and they were extremely upset. I guess eating meat during lent sends you straight to hell, despite the fact that they made that rule to help the fishing industry of Europe way back in the day. But despite the tension, I still feel mostly accepted by them.

Any ENFPs have trouble with being *too passionate* about things (i.e. politics) to have a rational, objective debate on the matter? Because I have that problem, and sometimes it sucks. But I still consider it a good thing I'm glad I have, because that passion has gone a LOONG way, like getting arrested for standing up for what I believe in and living the extremely passionate life of a hardcore active activist :happy:

Far to the left when it comes to social issues. I'm a fan of Nader, have been for years. He's had this thing against the corporations having too much free reign within our political process for at least 30 years. Health care: I believe that being able to be healthy should not only be a "policital" right, but a right just as a human being. Ron Paul is cool, but he has a problem with abortion :dry:.

I think you would call me a socialist, or, well... I live in Sweden, and I guess most people here are from the US, but according to me, I'm social liberal :wink:

Affairs of the heart: Ecology, equal rights (yes, I'm a feminist) and xhenophobia.

Oh, f*ck my bad english...I hope you understood. My english vocabulary doesn't include political words :sad:

I completely concur with what you said above. A one world order is on the horizon and will come to pass me thinks and we just might see it in our lifetime.

As far as our government they are way to involved right now and have overstepped their bounds (has happened gradually and the population willingly lets them while becoming more ignorant)... Communists didn't have to fight us in a cold war to overcome us; would of been easier to push those agendas from within like we see now. Hate socialism but most don't seem to understand what that means....

Hey Count I do like your avatar :) I grew up in Germany and just ask any hard working Germans in that country and they will tell you exactly what they think of all the moochers of their socialistic system...

I am a feminist through and through (I just can't respect someone who isn't an equal rights supporter) and completely proud of it. Most people I've talked to who "don't agree" with feminism don't understand what it actually is.

I don't believe in terms Republican or Democrat. Democrat A doesn't necessarily have the same exact views as Democrat B. They've become labels for lazy people to hate each other. I believe in the Constitution, and that's all. I love reading legal philosophy.

I'm no economics expert, so I won't talk about socialism vs. capitalism. I guess I do lean more toward socialism, but not communism.

Late to the part here, aren't I?

I'm a Libertarian in theory, but have some grave doubts on there being a complete lack of governmental oversight and regulation in the markets. I think true Libertarianism is just as unplausible as true Communism/Socialism - great ideas that just don't work in reality.

My concern is chiefly that a full free market society would just continue to concentrate the power and wealth in the hands of very few (as is happening / has happened now) to the point of an oligarchy where the middle class would disappear.

But with that said, I'd still like to believe in the power of greed, self-interest, and capitalism to be both an individual's and nation's best path to prosperity (while realizing that there isn't going to be prosperity for everyone - and if you're not willing to take it, then someone else will).

Socially - live and let live. :)
