Your Politcs
Went to an interesting website, politicalcompass.orgYou answer about 5 minutes of questions and it determines where you are politically on their 2-dimenionsal grid. I like their take on it. They've added to the common Left - Right Economic scale, an Authoritarian-Liberterian scale. This was to distinguish between a Leftist Authoritarian like Stalin and a Leftist Liberterian like your mom (someone had to say it).
I came out 3 to the left on the economic scale and 6 on the Liberterian while wife was 7 to the left on the economic scale and 4 on the liberterian (her score may have dropped after strongly agreeing with the "an eye for an eye" statement). The site doesn't have any individual analysis of your score, but I still found it interesting and am curious where others would land.

I've always liked this one, which is basically the same thing but more compact and transparent: http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html. Very interesting to throw at high school kids, btw. Allow plenty of time for it.
Here's where I stand:
Economic Left/Right: -3.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.05
Bunch of fucking commies you have here at your blog.
I wish George W. Bush could change the law and run for a third term!
Don't mess with Texas!
Economic Left/Right: -8.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56
Gosh- I'm a lefty as well somewhere between Gandhi and the Lama. Of course the questions are full of crap and obviously designed as recruitment tools for the worthless Libertarian Party.
C'est moi:
Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.41
Compared to me, Houston, there are a bunch of 'effing commies here. But compared to you, we're all at least sane individuals.
I do have to agree with the Craigeoke on this - obviously a site sponsored by the Libertarians is going to have a slight bent in their direction. There's probably a more accurate self assessment tool out there somewhere in the ether.....
A Hypothesis: "Houston Rocks" is our esteemed host Chuckdaddy himself, trying to rile things up for his own and our amusement.
Supporting Evidence: The spelling is too good for the sentiment.
The only one of you who has a chance of joining my revolution is Petrovich (and great name comrade). The rest of you all wanna-be social liberals can keep on sipping their lates while me and the Chavistas climb down from the mountain tops ready to take over!!!!!
"wanna be social liberals...." Ouch!
Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.18
Should I stop eating cow?
