It is possible that you aren't as right wing as you think you are. But if you want to appear more right to satisfy yourself (god knows why anyone would want to appear more right wing), try it again but select more "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree" answers.

I understand, but don't have the time right now. I've often said that I am an "ultra-conservative with liberalistic tendencies." As a biologist, I tend to be liberal on the abortion issue. I am pro-life, but i don't believe conception starts until the zygote is firmly implanted into the uterean wall. I am opposed to any abortion past the first couple of months.

I tend to be liberal on wacky tobaccey. I think alcohol is more dangerous than weed.

Politics, constitution, and America first ideas= I'm very conservative on.

This is my latest ranking, not much different than before...

This was from a year or two ago (during the last U.S. Presidential campaign)...

Compared to the oddly charted Presidential campaign of 2008, I'm more socially "libertarian" than Ron Paul and economically left-right "equivalent" to Hillary Clinton.

If the placements of the candidates were correct, I would have been close to Duncan Hunter and Alan Keyes.

There are a bunch of far left libs to the right of me! What a joke for a poll!

we'd need a 3 dimensional grid to fit all that-im in the same boat-im a bible thumper-a lot of issues im very far left but none of the social issues really-some of the others dont fit what the graph says either-

Because the placements of those politicians are incorrect. My political ideology lines up closely with Duncan Hunter and Alan Keyes, both whom I supported during the election cycle. My placement is on the line or leaning on the libertarian side. The subjective placement of those candidates was horribly scewed out of alignment by those who doesn't understand the philosophies of those candidates.

If you were to flip the chart placements 90 degrees clockwise and shift it down and to the left, you'll have a more accurate placement of those candidates (not saying it would be entirely accurate).

**Lion_Of_Islam** · 10-04-2009 12:02 AM

Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.87

Took the test according to Islam, insha'Allah.

No, those people are extremely authoritarian, especially Keyes. He (and the lot of them) want the government to have a ton of policing power, and the power to enforce religious morality.

Not true. Keyes is more libertarian than the Democrats and Republicans listed on that chart with the exception of Paul. The Democrats are the ones who are extremely authoritarian (and supporting the slaughter of the preborn children is not libertarian, it is a violation of civil rights, and being anti-civil rights is the traditional Democratic Party, then and now)

That way you can call banning an action "libertarian". How many other things do you do that with?

**BooRadley** · 10-04-2009 01:05 AM

A separate site listed alan keyes as:

He's far from libertarian. He's a religious authoritarian, a Talibaptist.

Keyes is not a pure big-L Libertarian, but is far more towards their philosophy than most on that chart.

Banning an action like rape or murder does not disqualify from the libertarian notions because libertarianism doesn't permit one person to use the force of violence against another, depriving the victim of his/her civil rights.

I don't care how people like you try to categorize and box somebody into your prejudiced, pre-conceived notions to justify your bigotry and political agenda. You cannot defend your vile actions so you have to project your ugliness by reclassifying others to demonize them. That's what people like you do.
