Are you a Libertarian? Take the test.

My Results:

1. Perhaps you would like Ralph Nader or David McReynolds.
2. You are Libertarian Party Material.
3. You are happy with Democrats or Republicans.
4. Theocracy is for You! Try Pat Buchannan or better yet Howard Phillips.

7. I'm "Left-Libertarian" by the Political Compass Test,
but I started to take that test anyhow. I didn't bother going past the first several questions; in my opinion those questions are definitely NOT "impartial". They're closer to the Push-Polling technique that was used against McCain in 2000.

12. I didn't see those other postings when I wrote the above,
but I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one here who had a problem with those questions.

FYI: That Political Compass website is at: http://politicalcompass.org/ I don't have the numbers handy at this moment, and don't care to retake it at this time. But I was pretty deep in each category (but not extreme).

8. Are you an Idiot? Take the test.
My major gripe is that the questions are so snarky that they are impossible to take seriously.

But that's where the Libertarians have gone in the last fifteen years.

I used to be a Libertarian. But then I pulled my head out of my ass.

9. Oh, that thing is so-o-o-o-o accurate!

Here are my results. When you read #1, keep in mind that I'm an atheist:

#1: Theocracy is for you!
#2: You are Libertarian Party material!
#3: Perhaps you'd like Ralph Nader or David McReynolds.
#4: You're probably happy with the Democrats and Republicans.

Boy, the author of that thing isn't too goddamned biased, is he? :eyes:
