C’mon, not even a “none of the above”? Because while I’m neither conservative nor moderate, I sure as hell ain’t a liberal either.

That’s why I said to pick the one that you are closest to, no the one you are.

And I am close to none of the above. I don’t identify with liberals or liberalism.

Used to be liberal, now I am libertarian/conservative… Support gay rights and equality, health, freedom of and from religion. I really support helping those in need. I also believe in strong national defense, drug testing for welfare, owning firearms and keeping the government strongly in check. They can offer to help, and are required to defend the country, keep businesses from becoming monopolies… thats it.  
I chose Moderate.
