Uncensored and Exposed

The real tree hugging sister.

The political description that fits you best is...

LIBERAL

LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.

The RED DOT on the Chart shows where you fit on the political map.


Talk about out in LEFT field! Blame all those years I spent in California, then. (Liberals don't accept responsibility very well either.)

Have at it, kiddies. Find the real you.

The political description that
fits you best is...LIBERTARIAN

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.

Oh, yeaaaaaaaah.

The political description that
fits you best is...CENTRIST

CENTRISTS espouse 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.

See? The voice of reason, that's me.

(Oh! I read that wrong! I thought it said you were 'big around the middle'. My bad.)

Yes, yes. That's you.

I'm almost at the point of the Libertarian triangle. My only Maybe reply was on lifting trade barriers, because, well, I lived in Japan, and I know that us lifting them won't mean that corporate societies like Japan will do the same.

Otherwise, the government needs to stay TFU out of bedrooms and pocketbooks, and we'll all be happier.

Posted by: WunderKraut at April 7, 2006 12:43 PM

Libertarian.

And Centrist = pussy

Posted by: Ken Summers at April 7, 2006 12:57 PM

Excuse me Ken, he prefers the term sellout.

Posted by: Crusader at April 7, 2006 01:02 PM

Libertarian. Wotta surprise.

Posted by: The_Real_JeffS at April 7, 2006 01:14 PM

I'm a bridge builder!

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at April 7, 2006 01:36 PM

Centrist?? I don't wanna be a centrist.

The quiz must be skewed because I didn't sellout on anything. pfft.

Posted by: Prussian Tiger at April 7, 2006 01:39 PM

Sellout? You mean someone gave him money for it?

Posted by: Ken Summers at April 7, 2006 01:55 PM

Conservative you pussies.

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.

After reading the description of LIBERTARIAN, I wonder who wrote this? Libertarians often walk on water after feeding the masses with only one box of crackers and a package of sardines.

Posted by: Cullen at April 7, 2006 02:19 PM

Yeah, libertarian here too. A little surprising.

Posted by: Nightfly at April 7, 2006 02:21 PM

There will be no flying about of the "P" WORD here!! Do you understand me, you fascist conservative CullenSummerswankers!! Got that?! NONE. N-O-N-E, none.

Posted by: tree hugging sister at April 7, 2006 02:41 PM

"political"?

Posted by: Ken Summers at April 7, 2006 02:58 PM

I think she means 'pfft'.

Horrible, that.

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at April 7, 2006 03:12 PM

'pfft', wasn't that one of the words Carlin mentioned in his skit on words you can't say?

Posted by: Crusader at April 7, 2006 03:30 PM

Problem with being libertarian is that no one in government is.

And the Libertarian party is disgusting with how it sent out press releases a few days after 9/11 blaming the attacks on the US.

I've read that they're still doing that.

I'm none of those. I'm an Objectivist.

Posted by: Mike Rentner at April 7, 2006 03:32 PM

Yeah - Joe Sobran may be a clever fellow but it was maximum checkout once he contracted terminal Carteritis.

Cullen - You could just say "Ace" as an acceptable substitute. And yes, I'm absolutely irrational about him at this point.

Summer Swankers? Is that like a pool party with lots of jazz? Neat.

Hmmm, not sure about the value of this quiz. I scored as a Liberal (though less so than you, THS), but I've taken different versions of this quiz where I scored as a libertarian. There was one that placed you with famous historical figures. I was between Thomas Jefferson and Ted Nugent on that one.

Posted by: NJ Sue at April 7, 2006 06:15 PM

That must have been quite a party...{8^P

Posted by: tree hugging sister at April 7, 2006 06:49 PM

You know, on second thought Carter was ok by me.

...in the figurative sense.

Major dad, we've all seen this picture. We knew you meant it figuratively when you said "on her".
