o.k., I'll bite (even if I post too infrequently for anyone to care what I think), just to let people know that there is a (broad) range of sensibilities here:

Overall: 10% Conservative, 90% Liberal
Social Issues: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal
Personal Responsibility: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal
Fiscal Issues: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal
Ethics: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal
Defense and Crime: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

It's not a very well written questionnaire though - it's almost devoid of nuance or subtlety, and doesn't allow for the kind ambivalence that might accompany one's feelings on some of these issues, especially those where either/or constructions belie real-world possibilities, or the choices are simplistic, reductive, or internally inconsistent. (an example of the latter being the question on immigration policy, where one is asked to choose between less or more strict immigration laws, without allowing for the possibility that enforcement represents a much larger problem than the laws per se as currently written).

A more sophisticated test (and one from which this test borrows several questions) is the Political Compass:

http://www.politicalcompass.org

The Political Compass questions are, on balance, better crafted, and they ask the respondent whether he/she agrees, "strongly agrees", disagrees, or "strongly disagrees" with a given statement, allowing for a broader range of choices (although I think it would have been better if it had included a "neutral" choice as well). It will take more time to take because there are more questions. It also provides a graph that shows where some of the current politicians are located on "the political compass", as well as other leaders of various stripes, along with some historical figures for good measure (e.g. Gandhi, Mandela, Pope Benedict, Stalin, Hitler, Milton Friedman, etc. So you can compare yourself to more famous counterparts.

Of course he is right--how would you know otherwise? They screen callers so that Rush won't have to answer to anyone. Plus Rush doesn't let anyone on the air who disagrees with him.

You have to go to some place like mediamatters.org (who apparently have gotten under Bill O'Reilly's very thin skin) to see how often Rush is just plain old WRONG!

Clearly lugnut has never actually listened to Limbaugh because if he/she had, lugnut would know that disagreeing callers are put at the front of the line.

Well, there are undoubtedly people who line up perfectly with the sample graph! But I think Cheese is right - you grabbed the sample graph. If you scroll down on that page, you come to a heading that reads:

Your Political Compass

Under that heading it provides your numerical values (based on your answers to the test) for "Economic Left/Right" (the horizontal axis) and "Social Libertarian/Authoritarian" (the vertical axis), and below that the four quadrant graph with a single plot reflecting your coordinates (mine were -8.75 and -7.90, respectively).

Brat Jr · « **Reply #25 on:** July 11, 2008, 02:22:33 PM »

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -0.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.13

Brat saved hers or something to be able to post it.

Mine was similar to Brats but about 1 square to the left. :shock:

Mine was 2.5 squares to the left, and 1.5 squares down
