<p>Political parties are only the sum of their members - if people choose to embrace collectivism and call themselves liberals they can. If others embrace evangelical Christianity and call themselves conservatives they can. People can call themselves whatever they wish - it still doesn't disguise their philosophical roots. A rose by any other name...</p>
<p>Myself is right.</p>
<p>The left-right-up-down scale on PoliticalCompass.org is a good one, but I don't like some of their questions.</p>
<p>I'm slightly authoritarian left.</p>
<p>according to the politicalcompass test I'm bottom left- between Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. hmmm... I don't know what I think of that</p>
<p>I am as far economic right as it allows, and left-leaning on social issues</p>
<p>Does nobody believe in the kind of America our ancestors fought off England about? The same tyranny now exists, but it comes out of Washington. Teddy Kennedy is a prime example. He believes right should be determined by wealth. His fortune came from Capone style bootlegging, f'gosh sake.</p>
<p>I certainly do Krazy. Our government IS tyrannical at all levels. Teddy Kennedy wants to become a zero - to have mighty wealth but be part of the socialist wealth redistribution scheme...</p>
<p>Ok, now we know about it. What the he11 can we do about it? If we try to vote them down, they modify the vote count, which is all the easier with electronic balloting. In fact, in one (at least) instance, Diebold built the counting program to transfer 10% of the votes from Republican to Democrat.</p>
<p>In 1996, one of the issues in Riverside county, California, was going down in defeat. The voting machines "broke" and "had to be taken off line for repairs." When they were put back in service, the issue was undefeatably ahead, and won.</p>
<p>BTW, I was kicked off two different forums on About.com because my handle was deemed "racist."</p>

<p>We can start a revolution.</p>
<p>Oh lets please. I for one would like to put an end to the dairy conspiracy.</p>
<p>I'd also like to put an end to the conpiracy that urine cures athletes foot.</p>
<p>That's no conspiracy. It's proven fact.</p>
<p>Fair enough....what about the conspiracy that Good God how did you respond to that so fast?</p>
<p>What can I say? I have a certain expertise.</p>
<p>Do you have an expertise in the game of love?</p>
<p>politicalcompass.org is an awful web site.<br>
there are two things one should judge oneself on when determining their level of conservatism/liberalism - fiscal and social. i for one and very far right fiscally (economics, money, taxes, big gov, etc) while on the other hand i am a moderate social conservative (pro gay marriage, anti partial birth abortion, basically in the middle).</p>
<p>i have not visited uc, but get the feeling that many students, because econ is so popular there, are fiscally conservative. But at the same time many kids (as the generation progresses into more accepted new values) is socially liberal. </p>
<p>Just my two cents</p>
<p>oh esquared.</p>
<p>Was that a flirty "oh esquared"?</p>
<p>Isn't gambadent a guy?</p>
