What are your non-DUish political beliefs?

[WillyBrandt]

On most issues, we know where the mass of DUers stand. Which issues are you out of the DU norm on? They needn't be right-wing: they can be centrist (DLCish), or even radical in a leftward way.

Here are mine:

1. I'm very opposed to bilingual education. I don't like those English-only people or anything, I just think bilingual education does kids a deep disservice. Nothing is more important for immigrant kids' futures--in every facet--than learning English, and this bilingual education is actually an impedement towards this.

2. I'm pro free-trade. I think NAFTA and the WTO are good ideas. If you've read Krugman's writings on free trades, I'm basically agreeing with him and most economic orthodoxy on it. I'm also pro-union; and, yes, the two are often deeply in conflict, so it's not the most consistent set of positions.
