For a school project on terrorism, my daughter is conducting a few short interviews, and she would like to interview someone whose political views do not hail from the liberal left. If you would have time to answer the 5 questions, please send me a PM. Thanks!

Do you prefer the liberal right? Or the conservative left?

Neither left nor right, but in front!

Liberal left means different things in different countries and to different people. Also do you mean classical liberal, what Americans call a liberal or social liberal?

I was using "liberal" in the American sense (communists?

). She wants to interview some Americans from a few different sides of the political spectrum, and has already spoken to some left-leaners.

These days American liberals are centrists.

It's quite confusing, actually. A plurality, perhaps a majority of Americans identify themselves as conservative, but hold liberal views.

More fun with categorization: there are types of conservatism that map poorly to the Democrat/Republican divide (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc ... an/306774/).

I heard a poll the other day which said that 47% of American are independents, having no affiliation with either flavor or Republicrats.

I consider myself an environmental libertarian, if such a thing exists. That is, I espouse libertarian views as long as it does not ruin the environment.
