Do you rely on others for your political views?

[Dingfod]

I think I must arrive at my own political views, the full spectrum of my political views are such a mixed bag I don't align with any particular party too closely. For instance, I'm a civil libertarian, believe people ought to be able to do pretty much what they want as long it doesn't markedly harm anyone else, but in actuality, in my own personal life, I am pretty conservative. And, I like guns and the most "liberal" interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, but don't have any heartache over gun registration or keeping them out of the hands of certain people. I'm very much interested in military technology and history, but am anti-war (except when fully justifiable). Those are just a few of my juxtaposed political views. Currently, I lean in the Democrats direction; I blame George W. Bush for that.
