Default I Thought As Much

"My Republican Party today... it is not a conservative party. It is soft on..."

PALEOCONSERVATIVE

Paleoconservatives are socially and economically conservative. They are also strong isolationists, against war and (in most cases) free trade and immigration. They support free-market capitalism while recognizing that it is not perfect and that government intervention may be required at times. They are also strong supporters of family values.

Classic conservatives and paleoconservatives are usually considered the same thing. For purposes of this quiz, I separate paleoconservatives as those who place greater trust in capitalism, such as the members of the Constitution Party.

A prime example of a paleoconservative is former Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan.

Relevant Major Political Parties: Republican Party, Democratic Party

Relevant Third Parties: Constitution Party

I'm a foreign policy realist, though I prefer isolationism to hawkishness. The strange part is that I support open borders and free trade.
