[JBoy]

9. Liberal! Funny, in Canada I would consider myself only slightly left of centre.

[baldguy]

11. Aside from the misguided libertarian bias of the poll..

ending government "barriers" to international free trade -- not a conservative idea - it's a RADICAL CORPORATIST idea
privatizing Social Security -- not a conservative idea - it's a RADICAL CORPORATIST idea
ending government welfare -- not a conservative idea - it's a RADICAL CORPORATIST idea

Those supposed "libertarian" proposals would ensure the enslavement of the great majority of working people.

[DJ13]

16. I agree, those questions bothered me too

But I thought the "ending government welfare" was about ending corporate welfare?

[fishwax]

58. it was -- but somehow if you vote agree on ending corporate welfare, you're not as liberal as if you

disagree. That makes no sense to me.

[Yurovsky]

12. Short but accurate...

if more people took this, and then carried this self-knowledge (along w/ knowledge of the candidate's stances) into the voting booth, we'd be much better served.

[Odin2005]

13. Yep, Liberal.

[OHdem10]

14. yep!

[Cirque du So-What]

15. I didn't need to take a quiz to know I'm liberal

but it's good to get some affirmation occasionally. FWIW, a lot of those questions would apply to small-L libertarians as well. The big-L variety? No so much; they're too busy trying to justify calling corporations 'people' to score 'liberal' on this test.

[jotsy]

17. That was fun, tyvm

Outer edge liberal here.

[DURHAM D]

19. bogus quiz -libertarian not liberal

[Rapanui1]

22. Am a progressive

Am a progressive and happy about it. It would suck to be a condom the rich

[DURHAM D]

23. You missed the point entirely.

Sad that so many posters on DU are clearly not liberal or progressive - and don't even know it.

[Lorien]

20. Push poll question: Let people control their own retirement; privatize Social Security.

People can already control their own retirement.

[Kalyke]

25. I had the same issue with other questions.

Even though I came out "liberal," I don't think ALL drugs should be legal, I don't think ALL sex between consenting adults should be legal (I don't agree with legalized prostitution. The rest is OK. I'm a feminist and most prostitution subjects women) and I don't want to cut taxes and spending except on the military.

:shrug:

[blondeatlast]

70. Yeah, that caught me up too and made me question the rest of the quiz.

I don't think in terms of back and white.

[Obamanaut]

21. Looks like this one

24. I know - it somehow posted twice - sorry :(

[pampango]

26. 90/40 here. That was a short and sweet quiz. n/t

[oldlib]

27. I'm a Liberal!

I passed this quiz, hands down.

[howard112211]

28. I got "liberal". But I think those questions are very inaccurately worded.

"Cut taxes and government spending by 50% or more"

Who is being taxed and what is being spent on?

"End "corporate welfare." No government handouts to business. "

Which businesses?

"Military service should be voluntary. There should be no draft."

Which answer is "liberal"? I think both answers can be argued to be liberal.
I put "maybe". I think a "citizens army" can have certain benefits over a
all-volunteer force. But I also don't believe in forcing people to fight in
a war, moreover in a unjust one.

"Government should not censor speech, press, media or Internet."

I saw a guy punch a skinhead once for wearing a swastika, and
tell him "we don't tolerate intolerance here". Is the guy who punched
the skinhead a liberal? I think it can be liberal to place bounds on
hate-speech. Still, I picked "agree", because overall I do believe in freedom
of speech, especially I believe in demonstrations not being broken up by
cops.

"Repeal laws prohibiting adult possession and use of drugs."

Weed, shrooms or meth? I think there is a difference.

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.

A few weeks ago, I was a left liberal. Today, I am a Centrist.

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 70%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 40%.

According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is...



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.

43. Whew! I'm a liberal!

I had incorrectly answered the Social Security question and that made me a libertarian. Once I fixed that, I was ok.

[Gold Metal Flake]

44. 100/20

Imma freakin pinko!

[Libertas1776]

45. True blue

LIBERAL here!

[Martin Eden]

46. I thought a couple of of the questions were ambiguous

Government should not censor speech, press, media or Internet.
I agree if it refers to freedom of speech for human beings and news agencies.
I disagree if it includes unlimited corporate spending on election campaigns.

End "corporate welfare." No government handouts to business.
I agree if it refers to legislation purchased by special interests.
I disagree if it means the government should not provide financial incentives for renewable energy sources.

51. It says I am a left leaning centrist

I will still call myself a Liberal though. :-)

53. Marking for later

54. 90-20 here

[Sherman A1]

55. 90/30

but, one has to question the validity of a test with so few questions.

[Touchdown]

56. Ah, yes. The world's smallest quiz from the world's smallest minds.

Circumstances can't change your mind. Nuance is for sissies. Only true thinkers can properly box themselves into a category with broad based, rigged questions. :eyes:

[fishwax]

59. #6 appears to be scored incorrectly

"End "corporate welfare." No government handouts to business."

Disagreeing gives you 0 points on the economic scale and picking Maybe gives you 10, while agreeing that corporations shouldn't get government handouts gives you 20. (On the economic scale, a lower score indicates farther to the left.)

[donheld]

60. Still liberal

[EmeraldCityGrl]

61. 80/30 I answered yes to a draft. There would be less war with a draft.

Not sure how that questioned scored.

[Caliman73]

64. 80/20 here and I agree

A Draft with no exemptions for the rich would make people think hard about war.

[Mixopterus]

62. Uhh, guys.

This looks suspiciously like the Libertarian quiz. In fact, I think it's almost identical.

[johnaries]

63. 100/30 - Liberal.

Despite all the times I've been called a Centrst or DLC here! ;)

edit: I still prefer Political Compass: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

[City of Mills]

67. I picked all the dumbest answers I thought no one would choose

And it old me I was a Conservative :evilgrin:

[igfoth]

68. Social Security is NOT a Retirement Plan

Question # 8 "Let people control their own retirement; privatize Social Security."

Social Security IS Not nor has it ever have been a individual Retirement Program, Social Security is a Insurance Plan, always has been. Read the Social Security Charter.

That's the big problem with the Social Security Debate..most think it is an IRA...SS cannot be fixed until until people really understand what it is in the first place.

BTW my score solid Liberal, as I like to say to the Cons I work with, I am so liberal I make Jane Fonda look like a hard core conservative.

[Lucky Luciano]

69. 90-20 left liberal. nt
