Today, I took a political compass test at Political Compass and I moved into the less authoritarian camp as can be seen above. Specifically, I moved from the blue zone to being mainly purple. I have seen so many authoritarian regimes/leaders make big mistakes and commit various evils so I firmly believe in Lord Acton's words that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I am a conservative, Bible-believing Christian who is pro-life/pro-business and I also always vote for the Republican due to the Democratic Party moving to the left since the 1960s. I am about as right-wing as George Washington below and as libertarian as well. At least in my estimation, George Washington was the best leader out of the ones below so I was happy I scored near Washington according to the people at the political compass website.
The article Five signs that you might be right-wing indicates that being right-wing often indicates that you are resistant to new experiences. Since, I am a social conservative, yet a big believer in open-mindedness, intellectual curiosity/humility, creativity and innovation, this probably explains why I am on the line between right-wing/left-wing, but leaning towards the right-wing side.

joebob002003,
ReplyDeleteI realize that many liberals are not good at geography. After all, Obama did say there are 57 states in America.
However, given the fact that I picked 9 out 50 states which is 18% of the data, I think that is a sizable chunk of the data. In short, your cherry picking complaint is an example of liberal sour grapes - especially since one of the videos I embedded (the Tea Party video) clearly shows Barack Obama is a failure!
Feel free to show Keynesian economics is a successful and valid economic model and that Keynesian economics recommends piling on debt after a significant debt has been accrued like Obama did. Also, feel free to show that Barack Obama has a sufficient understanding of economics to do his job. Please be aware that you must address all of these issues in order for your comment to be published. And take into account the information given in these 3 articles: http://voxday.blogspot.com/2011/08/overprepared.html and http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/04/news/economy/meltzer_keynes.fortune/
and http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/feb/19/setting-the-stage-for-stagflation/
Of course, if you do not reply or poorly reply this will be a another triumph of conservatism!
