Be honest.
Post what you thought, and what you got.
http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz
Your PERSONAL issues Score is 80%
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 100%
According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is...
Libertarians support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.
The Washington Post thinks this is great, personally I think it's a load of crap dreamed up by some one like FQ looking to justify a multi million dollar grant.

Right (Conservative)
Conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditional values." They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy, and endorse strong law enforcement.

Centrist prefer a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.
Pretty close to the mark I reckon, there are some items tha i think should definately be organised through a central agency such as govt. There is also somethings they should keep their fingers, noses and opinions out of.
I also consider my self to be practical, ie illegal immigrants, remove them at their countries expense and shoot the captains and coyotees on the spot, the westbro baptists - declare a bounty on their heads if they turn up to a funeral to picket -- Open Season.

that has to be one of the worst tests I've seen...
alot of those questions depend on what they mean.
Take the 1st question, free speach is not as free as people think. we all know this. saying yes could mean every thing from not censoring the westbro church idiots, to saying yes to child porn. which is it?
same with repealing laws on drugs. Which drugs? narcs, the kind you need a RX for or both? or how about experamental drugs? once again its not a yes, no or even maybe answer.
the coprate welfare is another one of those deals. do you mean hand outs or tax incentives? depending on exactly what you mean by each will drasticly change your "IMO" For example do you think its ok for your state to pay moving costs for a big company to move offices to your state and/or giving them a tax break? Is that wellfare or is that smart goverment?
Same thing with cutting international trade laws, Do we protect jobs here or let them be shiped to other places? same with things like miltary hardware or things that can be turned into miltary hardware. do we let say iran buy plans/parts for nukes? Or do we cut out all agracultrual inspections out?
what I'm getting at is nothing is ever black and white.
intrestingly enough if you take the "worst case" or "largest scope" example above, you will be for big goverment... if you take a more realistic and cut out the "worse case" you will be a centrist. if you read into them what you would like you will be a libertain.

100/100 for me....I don't think I'm a complete Libertarian but I'm much closer to this than a conservative.
-
My opinion of it runs pretty much the same as TABs.
-
It's a Libertarian site and they are trying to show a more Libertarian slant to recruit people to their cause. It's a cause I don't necessarily disagree with mind you.
It's stacked....I scored like most did but agree (God forbid) with TAB's assessment, in theory.
I need very little from our Government with the exception of the Military, the guy that fills the potholes in the street, and my future SS check which I wish wasn't the case but I've been paying into the system for 38 years and I want my money back. What they do in the future for my kid is her fight.
As I've said before, if Congress never writes another law, I'd be content in that knowledge.

I got the same score you did. And if I were a betting man, I'd bet the 20% shortage in the PERSONAL section came from both of us giving the same response to the same question.

Scary shit, dude!! ;D

I'm having a real problem with political identity these days. I'm a lifelong Republican who has come to feel abandoned, ignored and marginalized by his party. While I guess I lean more toward the Libertarian viewpoint, the pragmatist in me feels the need to remain a registered (R) to have a soupcon of influence in trying to move the party back toward the ground it left in it's charge to the left.
In short, I may not be leaving the party, but I most definitely feel as though the party has left me. :(

Dude - We, along with the Founding Fathers and many 19th century "carpenters" of this nation, have been marginalized by an instant gratification population and main stream media >:(

The people are slaves to comfort and convenience. There are no MEN willing to trade their recliner for a fox hole to save the country from the crooks, liars and communists who call them selves Dems or the wishy washy Poofs who call themselves Reps.
The apparent front runner for the Rep nomination is Romney, an anti gun pro health care RINO who has already lost once to McCain. It looks to me like the RNC wants to throw the election to BO Again just to spite the TEA Party.
-
No surprise here. I also lost points on the International Trade Barriers question. My belief is that we impose tariffs or barriers equal to those imposed by the other country upon us. While this would take some consideration of balance so that the relative economic impact is the same. If that country wishes for more favorable conditions on our simply reduce the restrictions against us.
