Wow, a find your politics quiz designed by Libertarians where most of the respondants find out their views are Libertarian.

Frankly, the political compass quiz with the astrology question is a lot better.

[Mr. BlackCat]

Like some other posters have said, you'd have to define liberal/conservative to actually understand people's motivations. I'm am (was) a poli-sci student and have encountered dozens of different definitions. Also, the thought that people have to place their political ideas in one of either two camps is very American, which someone else mentioned before. A friend of mine is very socially liberal, but fiscally very conservative. Most Canadians view the Democratic Party as conservative and our Convervative Party as liberal in comparison (well, this was true with the PCs, maybe not with Harper et al now).

In basic fiscal terms, classical liberalism is what we call neo-conservativism today. Opening up trade mostly. Whereas liberals (classical and what many today would call themselves) just value justice over trade, so any trade should be as fair as possible to those involved. Neo-conseravatives believe an open market will regulate itself and injustice will figure itself out eventually.

I believe most young people can differ on fiscal ideologies, but are usually very liberal when it comes to social policies. Does anyone believe gay marriage will still be an issue in 50 years? As for issues like abortion and euthanasia, reasonable people will always disagree on this because these are really tough questions. I doubt any sincere person on either side of these debates cannot understand to some extent the other side.

One thing that I find interesting is that self-proclaimed Conservatives want less government interference yet are the ones who consistantly block social progress (gay marriage, civil rights, women's rights, etc.). Bill Barr, Libertarian candidate, has voted for the Defense of Marriage Act as well as the Patriot Act and several other government interferences in personal life (including limits on abortion). If you're for less government control, you have to be for it for everyone. Otherwise I believe they call you a "hypocrite".

Are you liberal or conservative?

I have been asking myself this question for years as I have conservative values such as frugality and an open liberal mind that allows me to appreciate things overlooked by most. Things such as great art, the green forests, imaging how the world looked before corporations began destroying our natural environment all life is dependent on, and all the largemouth bass that must swim in dem der sparkling waters of that sparkling country called Korea.

I can be a country redneck in the USA or a city dwelling bleeding heart liberal who wants the world saved from corporations destroying our natural environment and allow Americans to actually be a free people. I have values from both ends of the spectrum if that makes any sense nor do I submit to any one political party as they are all majorly flawed concepts failing the American people.

Why do people think if the govt gets more involved it will get better, thats crazy!!

I would love to have a free college education and free healthcare but if we can't even get a damn border secure or FEMA straight theses programs will not work. Lets face it, the govt will f*** it up. I don't really want the govt taking 60% of my income to take care of me b/c they won�t, it would turn into Korean immigration where every time you call you are told a different thing and nothing gets done. We are a capitalist society and that is what makes America, well America.

We have the best doctors and best colleges, if you took out the capitalism in this there would be no need to do better. A doctor learns his trade and becomes good at what he does to make more money, if all doctors made the same amount what is the point in exceeding, same with colleges. It�s the fundamentals of a good society. Work hard = you get more $$$.

Don�t get me started on the housing market, if grown adults signed a mortgage that they could not afford it is there fault. The govt should not bail out people who signed those scam interest only mortgages. If you make 50K USD a year you can not afford a $600,000 mortgage, its called common sense. These people should of known better. It�s called personal fiscal accountability.

The US already pays for people who cannot afford healthcare, its called Medicaid. You have BS people taking advantage of the govt. I have a friend who won't get married so she can keep getting govt assistance. Her b-friend makes over 70K. They won't get married so she can continue to cash in.

On a side note, if the govt was so concerned about gas prices they would of lowered the energy taxes and would of let the big oil companies build their refineries, but congress blocked it and what happens, the old ass refineries are falling apart and its costing the consumer in the end b/c its taking longer to refine. Govt finally said �Ok, build more refineries,� but its now a little too late. Govt sucks and need to keep their hands out of the economy. Exxon Mobil is a smart company. They have some of the best minds in the world at this company and its like the govt is trying to stop them. Honestly there smart. If the govt just stayed out of "most" of their business we would not be having as many problems as we are now. I blame the govt not Exxon for this energy crisis. They got into a lucrative business, made good business decisions, so what. If you don�t want to pay a shit load in gas then don�t buy a dam Hummer or Tahoe. For every galon of gas were paying .30-.50 in govt taxes... thats alot!!!!
Congress needs this $$ so they can spen it on earmarks, like buiding a 20 billion dollar bridge to nowhere. ridiculous.

I love America but man is it messed up!!!

Socially:

Gay marriage - don't care, if they want to be miserable have at it
Abortion - no offense, but the laws will always stay as it is, why even bring up in an election
Weed- it won�t ever become legal, get over it
Gay Adoption - hey, better than no parents, at least you will have 2 people that love you. Most Amercians only have one.


Wow sorry so long

I want the government to pay for my healthcare, university, and social assistance. This way, I can be as reckless and irresponsible as I want, and I don't have to worry about paying for my own medical bills. Heck, I don't pay taxes, so I don't have to worry about paying the medical bills of the apathetic either. I have to wait 8 months to have surgery, but at least it's free! And no, we CANNOT have the option for private health care, because that would enable the rich (or responsible) to get help sooner! That's not fair!

I also want free education. When I turn 18 and start university, I think I'll major in fine art. No, wait a second, I think I'll change my major to English. I can't do much with an English degree, so I think I'll enter a poli sci program. Good thing taxpayers are paying for my education! Now that I have two degrees, I'm going to move to another country, and pay taxes into THEIR system!

Now, I think I'll have three different babies with three different Daddies. No need to get married; I'll get social assistance regardless. Having babies and being on welfare is my ticket to independence, meager as it is. A cycle of poverty passed onto my children is not my concern; it is the GOVERNMENT's concern.

I also advocate a 32-hour workweek and a lavish pension plan for government employees, and I discourage private investment (and importing American beef into korea). I also would rather NOT have babies, and I'm quite confident that SOMEbody will pay for my care when I'm old. I rely on government for everything, and I'm sure they'll think of something.

Well, won't they?

Near the boundary between conservative and libertarian. I'm against big government and welfare programs, but do agree with drug laws and stuff along those lines.

[nolegirl]

Kimbop, your a genius.

If govt paid for my schooling I would never leave. I would quadruple major in everything. I would never want to enter into the dreaded real world. Then I would just milk welfare with my 3 kids from 3 different daddies. And then the govt is going to pay for my trailer!!! SCORE
