Ready to test your liberal cred? Take this political orientation quiz!
Inspired by LynneSin's "centrist" thread, are you ready to put your liberal beliefs to the test? Take this short quiz !


I took the test and guess what?

ACCORDING TO YOUR ANSWERS,

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.

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 90%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 30%.
(Please note: Scores falling on the Centrist border are counted as Centrist.)

Centrists will be asked to leave the lounge immediately. :P

looks like you picked an accurate username. My favorite bumper sticker I've ever seen says "If ever there was a bleeding heart liberal it was Jesus Christ."

The only "non-liberal" answer I had was for the national ID card. I don't have a problem with it since we already have state ID and SS cards.

34. Liberal Libertarian - Well not really
The last question on cutting government spending by 50% was the difference of my rating as Liberal vs Liberal/Libertarian. I know the intent so when I selected "D" I get Liberal label.

But in truth we could cut things by 50% (thereabouts) but cutting the Military and Black budgets but looking at it that way and selecting "A" makes the quiz label me Liberal/Libertarian :)




LIBERAL

LIBERTARIAN

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.

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.
