Republican Federalism

Am doing some investigation as to where exactly my political thoughts lie. Am I a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or something else?

I have come to determine that I am a Federalist supporting a Republican form of government as opposed to a true Democracy. Pretty much in line with most of our “Founding Fathers”, BTW. Understand that I’m not talking political parties, but rather by definition political ideologies. I suppose that’s what also causes me to consider myself a Conservative in the most accurate definition of the word.

Which begs the question: Exclusive of what today’s parties stand for, what is your true persuasion?
