As the title says, I'm just curious of CEF's political viewpoints.
Please go by the proper definitions below:Radical: Seen as being on the far left of the political spectrum, radical wide-sweeping rapid change in the basic structure of the political, social and economic system. They may be willing to resort to extreme methods to get change, including some violence and revolution.
Liberal: liberals believe that the government should be actively involved in the promotion of social welfare of a nation's citizens. Liberals usually can stand gradual change within the existing political system. They reject violence as a way of changing the way things are, often called the status-quo.
Moderates: moderates may share viewpoints with both liberals and conservatives. They are seen as tolerant of other people's views, and they do not have views of their own. They advocate "go slow" or "wait and see" approaches to political change.
Conservatives:, people who hold conservative ideals favor keeping things as they are or maintaining the status-quo if it is what they desire. Conservatives are hesitant or cautious about adopting new policies, especially if they increase government activism in some way. They feel that less government is better. They agree with Jefferson's view that "the best governments govern least."
Reactionary: sitting on the far right of the ideological spectrum, reactionaries go back to the way things were- "good ol' days". Often reactionaries are willing to use extreme methods, such as repressive use of government force to achieve goals. Note: these are not necessarily "democratic" and "republican" viewpoints as in American politics.

I am American Libertarian which is close to conservative in how I believe the smaller the govt the better and the free market is the best solution. However, I believe the purpose of the govt is to protect our freedom rather crap liek PATRIOT ACT

While moderate liberal and moderate conservative do feel like this, the radical and reactonary do not
So, while the 'smart' people are out protesting the current system by not voting, those extremes get to choose who will be taking your money and what they are going to do with it
Only reason I vote is that otherwise those rednecks would have picked osama bin laden as leader
anyhow, on topic, i'm Moderate/Liberal
