How much tin foil are you wearing?
Take the libertarian purity test now!

I got a whopping 12! Seriously, is privatization always the answer on the right? I know, let's abolish the Federal Reserve so I can print my own money that's backed by the Bank of Nigeria.

9. OK. I plead the 14
That's my score. I try hard not to be a nutcase, but I guess it's a losing battle! :)

10. 44 Never thought of myself as a libertarian.
31-50 points: Your libertarian credentials are obvious. Doubtlessly you will become more extreme as time goes on

"You are a soft-core libertarian. With effort, you may harden and become pure." ???

I believe you should be able to do what you want as long as you don't hurt other people. Otherwise there should be consequences.

13. I scored a ten. Funny about abolishing the Fed. You think they would be
happy using money from the Bank of Kenya with Obama's picture on it??

What a bunch of loony tunes!

20. I think in their belief
is that the market will magically adopt a gold standard (actual gold, not just certificates) and everything will somehow work flawlessly. But if you want to see loony, just ask them about hyperinflation. They're even worse than the "government is going to take my guns away" crowd.

16. 39 - that "should we abolish the state" stuff really got me.
As usual, I am the last one to know about myself.

Is there a test like this for republicanism?

18. I keep reading that as the 'librarian' purity test.
Edited on Tue Jan-05-10 04:50 PM by Richardo
Which sounds like a pretty good porno flick now that I think of it.

On edit: Got 11.

less than I thought it might be
I tend to agree with a lot of libertarian thought, too bad they always seem to be such freaking nut jobs when they run for elections.
