Take the political compass test and post your results, dammit.

Anyone notice the majority of leftists are over near the kookism side while the right is more towards the center? Interesting. I always did figure a lot of the leftists that frequent these boards were over on the fringe.

Now watch and see what happens. I bet (1) they have a contest to see who is more kooky. Or they will (2) fake it and aim for the middle.

[DamnYankee]

It's interesting how some of the self-declared "libertarians" here are not showing up that way in this test... Indeed, I'm more of a Libertarian than FnL, Forthright, Damn Yankee and TrailHiker!

See told you! The left is so predictable.

Anyway, me:

No surprise, really.

I'm not libertarian. Nice try though. Next you'll try to convince yourself I am.

It's also interesting how "the right wingers" are consistantly closer to the center then the left. From the looks of things, the left is the most extreme on this board....not surprising



Also: I'm not sure how someone can be further to the economic left and consider himself more of a Libertarian then anyone on the economic right....does that mean your are all for freedom as long as someone else pays for it???

[DamnYankee]

TH, I've had a theory for sometime now that the leftists on these types of boards are more towards the lunatic fringe. So I'll say, spot on. Good call.

I don't recall Forthright, Damn Yankee or TrailHiker claiming to be "libertarian".
I'm one of those "self declared libertarians", and so far only 2 people scored more "libertarian" than I did.

I think it's time for TLG, Java, and Crim to switch parties.
While we're at it, IFF can be the founder of the Irish Libertarian Party.

While I'm at it,

They just ally themselves with the left, like the libertarians do the right.

Judging from the charts, those who scored more libertarian don't seem to be aligning so much with the right either.
I see a lot more dots in the green than the purple.

Actually many of us "leftists" have lost interest in this board due to the right wingnut virus being rampant here. I don't want, nor need, to argue with children.

The truth of the matter is you leftists cannot argue your points with civility as your above statement indicates.

I was sl right of forthright. Stupid, biased poll! Reminded me of the old question, "do you still beat your wife?" Very biased to the lefty's benefit as many of the questions did not have a realistic answer.

I kinda' had the same feeling.

That explains it. I was frightfully close to Freedom and Liberty and Damn Yankee. This poll blows.

I think I was -2.5 on the economic and -4 on the social. I took it earlier today but didn't post my numbers.

[BooRadley]

Wow. Way more liberal than previous times I've taken it. I think the economic collapse has changed my view on free markets to a considerable extent.

ec=-3.62&soc=-5.95

It's supposed to be biased you buffoon. It's a political test. It's designed to provoke you. And it's not "biased to the lefty's benefit" you paranoid clown.

[optimus]

Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.23

Like I told you in the old thread...you're a liberal.

It looks like a lot of the people here have shifted since the last time we took it. The rightwingers were all up in the right/authoritarian quadrant last time, and the eeeevulllleftistlibarals were more to the right. I think the whole country has probably shifted libertarian/liberal as a result of 8 glorious years of Republican leadership.

Hope it keeps.

Hey dummy! It is definitely biased to the left in the sense it enhances left-leaning answers. It even makes me appear less conservative than I am. It would be easy to make opposite leaning polls that make lefty weenies like you appear to be almost conservative!
