What's your alignment?

I did much prefer that second test, but for the abortion question, who gives a shit about heartbeat, it's a big muscle, I'm more interested in the brain.



Don't know that I'd call myself radical. But then again maybe I'm just looking at the anarcho-capitalists and thinking I'm nearer middle of the road.

So, this is what I got for the tests:

The second test is just as bad as the first, imo.

I wasn't even able to answer it as it didn't give me options that I wanted.

[Something completely different]

Agreed! Importent questions werent even asked and the right answeres not given.

What do you think of inferstructure reform and investments payed by the EU in eastern Europe? - Blitzkrieg!!!!!!!

Do you believe people have the right to bare arms? - Honeybadger dont care.


In the end, since we live in a democracy and therefor political issues are constantly changing, a test like this one cannot be conclusive.
Or what would your opinion have been in the 1980s on how to conduct foreign policie with the eastern block?
Or in the 1990s on how to counter right wing terrorism?

If he was alive today, I would vote for Barry Goldwater. Mostly a libertarian, but I make certain exceptions for public goods like building codes. I make a sharp distinction between human rights and civil rights. Here are some of my basic ideas:

"General Welfare" means everyone benefits directly and not just some. Road and bridges are general welfare. Public education is general welfare. I oppose socialized medicine for pragmatic reasons and not on principle - since everyone gets it, it falls under general welfare, but I'm not convinced turning anything over to be run by the government is a good.
Flat tax on individuals, no deductions, none. No tax shelters, no credits. You make it you pay it.
Generally open borders...work is a human right regardless of citizenship.
Access to the social safety net is a civil right reserved for citizens.
Justice is a human right. Trial by jury is a civil right. Non-citizens get trial by judge.

You forgot the flying cars.

So I took the second test, and unlike the first one which had given me a centerist rating with a hair towards the liberal side, I seem to be more left leaning.

The problem is that I have to guess on both tests about some things...like trade. I don't know dick all about trade.

Ya see, I studied business for 2 years, so I know stuff about trade, but I just don't give a shit about it.
I'd rather not know anything about it.

I am not an American, so I cant see how doing the second test would give any conclusive results, since it completly focuses on american policie issues.

[thesummerqueen]

Well, as an American, it did get one thing right in its following description and analysis: I haven't found a party I'm even slightly in love with, although I vote democrat over here because it's the better choice at the moment.

Mini rant: I fucking hate those fucking fuckers who say that voting for the "least" evil is still voting for evil and therefore you shouldn't do it. It's usually libertarians who are trying to get people swayed over to their side to vote for that party. I'm sorry, but America isn't ready to become a multiparty system and I'm not throwing my vote away to some libertarian fucknut who hasn't a hooters chance in hell of winning, doesn't represent what I value anyway, and is promptly forgotten about except when making noise around election time.

If less evil is the difference between keeping women's rights and legalizing marijuana or gay marriage, or picking "more evil" where that shit doesn't happen...apparently America picked the better one.

[Tiberius]

I'm a libertarian. Socially progressive and fiscally conservative (Austrian School...Mises, Hayek, etc.)
