The government's role is to protect our civil liberties, maintain our national security, and help build infrastructure. Other than that, it needs to stay out of our wallets, homes, churches, etc.

I could be labeled "feminist" simply because I'm against anyone being assigned a specific "role" by society and/or the government, How about people being assigned a specific 'role' by nature?

I took a detailed political test and this is what it told me:
You tell me what I am. I guess.

Human nature is pretty much subjective. How is being born a man or a woman subjective?

You know that isn't what I meant. But it is what I meant, You said you didn't like people being put into a specific role by society/government, and I'm wondering whether you mind nature putting somebody in a specific role. By nature I don't mean human nature/your brain, I mean plain simple nature.

I put Libertarian. I'm slightly on the right side of that point of view. People should basically be free to do whatever they want unless it endangers the public or hurts people. In that case, the Government should be allowed to step in and do something. Power corrupts, and the people in Government should be kept well in-check by eachother and the people whom they "govern". I agree with the founding fathers that it is necessary for the Government to be subject to checks and balances so their power doesn't get out of hand.
