Interesting, some are what I thought, some were not what I thought.  Ogre's kind of surprised me, I figured him to be a little more to the left.  I think I have done this one before and I was about where Iwannaplay is on the chart.

EDIT: I also thought Chizad would be a little more to the left.  Him and Ogre both I figured would have been around a Right: 2.

Fiscally, I'm as conservative as they come.  I want VERY limited federal government.  I believe in the 10th amendment and states' rights.  I am for unfettered capitalism and low taxes.

I depart from the Republican Party in a lot of social issues.  For instance:



As you can see, I don't really fit in with any political party (except maybe the Libertarians).  I just want government out of my life as much as possible.

I depart from the Republican Party in a lot of social issues.  For instance:

  • I believe all drugs should be legal.  Not that I want to sit around my house hopped up on heroine or anything, I just don't think it's the government's place to tell me what I can or cannot put in my own body, as long as I'm not hurting anyone but myself.
  • If you are gay and want to get married, go for it.  I don't give a shit.  Pack fudge until the cows come home for all I care.
  • I am pro-life, but I believe that being pro-life means being pro-life across the board, so therefore I don't believe in the death penalty.


As you can see, I don't really fit in with any political party (except maybe the Libertarians).  I just want government out of my life as much as possible.



I'm with you on all of that, but the death penalty, and basically take the opposite stance. It's one of the very few things I stray from the Libertarian party on. I'm personally pro-life, legally pro-choice, and I have no qualms about watching a multiple child rapist/murderer fry.

I think much of it had to do with the context of the questions. Many of them I put neutral and could careless about. FYI - Ive taken this test before with different questions and gotten a much more libertarian result.

"claims"? are you serious?  If I were so anti libertarian like you think I am, I would have been up in the Authoritative area with Obama and the neocons. So I guess we all need to prove it now. I really careless what your perception is. Ive told you my views. Believe it if you want.

I used to be pro-choice.  I think it all depends on when you think life begins.  To me, life begins at conception.  I was in the room with my wife when she was 7 weeks pregnant and I saw the little flicker of my daughter's heartbeat on the screen.  She had her own unique DNA.  To me, she was a person. 

I still waffle on the death penalty issue.  Today I'm against it, tomorrow I might be for it.  It's an issue that doesn't weigh heavily on me either way.

If your daughter was killed and raped by some sicko pedophile, I would imagine your opinion would change.  Remember, it may not have happened to you, but is happening to others and those fuckers should be executed without question.

Which is exactly why I still waffle on the issue.

I'd like to think that I'd be level-headed enough to know that killing that person wouldn't bring my child back. 

However, if God forbid anyone ever does harm my child, they won't have to worry about the death penalty.  I am a sadistic motherfucker, and I promise you I would choke them to death with their own cock. 

Remember, I am soulless by birth.

Strike through the anti-death penalty line and I am 100% in line with your POV. My take one that lone point of contention is that we don't use it often enough. I'm pro hanging and pro electric chair.

Public hangings and public canings would put many on the fence back to the good side. Once we were a country that had somewhat fair and immediate justice. Now that we have evolved, we can have fair and immediate justice. 10 years to kill a killer is too long. The only people that benefit are the lieyers.

Hard labor is another thing we need to bring back. A person in prison should work so hard that at the end of the day, they collapse in their cot. Not bed, but cot. Soldiers get a cot, why do prisoners get a bed?

We have too many gray areas created by laws riddled with lieyer holes. IF the punishment was so harsh that the offender never wanted to go back, then more offenders would strive to avoid prison at all costs. How the hell did I get off on this?

Some of the questions were worded with a bias, or with possible answers that don't completely reflect one's views, but overall, it was pretty good. 

One example for me was the one dealing with gay marriage.  If I say I don't oppose it, as was one of the choices, the you might think me a liberal.  But, if you ask me further, I'd explain that I don't care if they want to marry, or if some church wants to recognize the marriage.  The government isn't obliged to legally recognize it as a marriage, nor is any private entity, such as an insurance company obliged to do it either.   Marriage by any definition I can find is between a man and woman, and gays aren't entitled to any speical priviledges because they choose to deviate from social, and religious norms.  But if they want to be married in the eyes of some entitiy that will recognize it, I fully support them in that.  If insurance companies, for example, decide to recognize it then that's their decision, but the government shouldn't force them to.

I enjoy this kind of poll/test but as with most polls the questions tend to reflect the anticipated outcome or expected results of the poll designer so I helped them out.  While I was honest in my answers I took a hard line for each one (no "grey" area e.g. "strongly agree/disagree" and "very important") which I'm sure resulted in a much more authoritarian result.

Someone had posted another poll of this type on the board with a graphical output several months ago that you might like; it pegged me as a center right populist.  I disagreed with that result.  I think that this poll got the quadrant correct for my political view but, as I said, the manner in which I answered the questions skewed the result to the authoritarian side.
