I don't believe in open immigration. I believe the border should be closed off as tight as possible, right now. But I do support amnesty for the illegal immigrants that are here already. That opinion of mine isn't popular among my fellow conservatives.

I also think it is ludicrous to say that the Democratic Party is socialist. That is a very vague term. Many people just want low taxes - which is okay, but then they want more border security, more military spending, more restrictions on women's rights.

The democratic party absolutely does support methods of redistribution, which is inherently socialist. They are socialists.

So being a republican or conservative means wanting a Theocratic-Christian govt, that supports free trade and free markets, and supports a military buildup.

I do not support theocracy. Capitalism does not require religious belief. I do support having a superior military.

To me, it seems like there are so many opposing ideas within each political party that no party is "socialist" or "capitalist"

The Republican party of today does have socialist policies. Most of which I disagree with. Since the democrats have more socialist policies than the repubs, I'm often forced to vote for the lesser of two evils.
