Are you sure? I would expect Beck to be in the bottom right hand side of the board. He wants the govt to barely exist. The top right would have him in the place of people like Hitler. If I am reading this board correctly:
Top left = communism
Top right = Fascism
Bottom left = Social democrat
Bottom right = libertarian
Beck says he is a conservative libertarian. That should put him in the bottom right sector.
"Conservative libertarian" should have given it away, the American conservatives are not socially liberal like a 'libertarian' is defined (that's why the "Tea baggers" shouldn't be calling themselves libertarians), they're more like Anarcho-fascists - As far as social liberties go he'd score badly, like Gay marriage, pro choice, drug laws, freedom of/from religion etc - That would place him at least half way up the authoritarian scale.
