My apologies for the bland thread title,

So if a person despises many of the US Government's actions (almost as if he/she despises the Government as whole), supports abortion, does not support welfare for the low economic class citizens, nor supports increasing taxes for the affluent.

Is this more of a liberal approach, centrist/moderate approach (maybe leaning to the left/right), libertarian approach, etc?

Thanks in advance.

by "despises the government as a whole" do you mean that that person is dissatisfied with a particular government and dislikes its policies, or that he despises the idea of government and believes that government should not exist?

I Should've elaborated more on that. He/she is completely dissatisfied with Government actions (killing innocent people with the use of drone strikes), getting into wars, etc.

Definitely more right leaning, but not 100% Republican.

here's a question, are you mentally retarded that you don't know the answer to that question?

As a person who's learning more about the diverse political parties, of course not. A poster such as yourself with nearly 10,000 posts, it's pretty sad that you possess a sophomoric and arrogant attitude.

Okay. So the person is fine with the existence of government (i.e. not an anarchist). As far as being dissatisfied with drone strikes you could belong to either major party or one of the smaller parties, since presidents of both major parties have used drone strikes. Neither the Democratic nor Republican party oppose drone strikes or intervention as a matter of principle.

I'm guessing libertarian party would be the one for that person.
