Okay, it says I’m a Libertarian. Hmm…I do wish for freedom of mind, heart and spirit. And yes, less taxes please for those already paying ridiculously high taxes and medical insurances.
Hey, that’s great! Its nice to have another liberty lover hanging around. I hope I don’t run too many people off with my political rants but I feel so strongly in favor of freedom, it’s hard to hold back sometimes. I really like this quote…
Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” Barry Goldwater
Rommel, thanks for taking the quiz anyway. At least now you’ll know more about where the others stand and where you stand among the differing groups. I’ve always been a strong libertarian, just never knew it until I finally found out there was actually a political party who thought along the same lines I did. Live and let live! π
Hey! Thanks for the follow back! I scored Libertarian, siding conservatively on economic views and more liberal on social views. I already knew this, but it’s good that a lil quiz agrees π
Good to hear it was accurate in your case. It was for me too. I’ve heard it does a pretty good job of figuring out where people fit politically. I’m trying to help spread the word here. π
I’m glad you liked it. I thought it was interesting to see a more realistic gauge than just the usual right vs left scale. I’m libertarian so I’m far right on some things and far left on others but for freedom on everything. π
left liberal huh? before I saw this particular quiz, I never knew what to say, I show up FAR to the left on some issues and FAR to the right on others. I’m a strong libertarian, I pretty much fall back to ‘what’s going to increase personal liberty the most?” and pick that side. I believe everyone should be able to live THEIR lives the way THEY choose to (as long as they don’t hurt anyone else). I think that’s just a better way to organize society rather than try to have ‘authorities’ who really don’t know any better than the rest of us running things.
I’m curious if you’ve read any of my political rants on here and what you thought about them. I have a really good friend (in reality)- a hard core democrat- who got SO mad about them, he stopped following my blog (tho he still jumps in and argues furiously with me on facebook)
I feel very strongly that a person’s opinion should be respected, even when I don’t agree.
As I mentioned on my blog, I grew up in poverty. So where I totally agree with on a political system which maximized personal liberty, I disagree that we have to be 100% responsible for ourselves.
For example, it is not a child’s choice whose family they happen to be born into, what city they live, what era. For me this is a queue that there should be services to guarantee the best chance for future liberty. I would expand that premise outward to encompass other’s. If I remember correctly, those would be points in which we would disagree. And that’s fine. Conflict is one way to understand how we really feel about something.
They say that quiz is really pretty accurate. I know it was for me. I’m a strong libertarian. I’m glad to learn there is a name for people like me (and that I’m not the ONLY ‘weirdo’ who cares about the huge loss of liberty we’ve had in the US in the last few decades).
What do you think? Was it accurate for you? Or way off?
Go for it! I hope you find it fun and interesting. I’m always interested in the reactions and comments people have when they take it.
Please let me know what you think (and how you scored- if you want to). π
I must be doing things wrong. I click and I get a jpeg. That happened for this and the Dumbo Squid. I am using an older browser for WP surfingβ¦because..newer browser doesn’t like pop ups at all.
LOL!
For me, it’s pretty easy to choose who to vote for. If there is a libertarian on the ballot, I will vote for them. Often, I don’t learn that until I actually get to see the ballot. There is most definitely a concerted effort by the 2 major parties to keep the public from learning about any other options (and there are plenty).
I have been supporting ‘Free the Vote” lately. They’re trying to at least give the other parties a chance of being heard.
Hi Jill,
I wanted to you know I linked to you today in my article about a site that pays contributors, Virily. You can contribute quizzes, so you may like it since you have a quiz here. Here is the article.

Count me in on the libertarian club.
Bwahahaha I’m in the grey area. The Centrist. Oh Rommel, you’ve always been that way.

I’m a Centrist! I guess I’m not all that surprised! π
Thanks for the link, that was enjoyable!

I have never thought of myself as a Left Liberal. Well, there’s that now. π

I’ve read a few.

That was a bit surprising. I may have to go back and take the quiz again! O_o

Probably accurate. Just don’t want to acknowledge it. π
what did you turn out to be?
Libertarian. No surprise there. LOL
Sweet! Found another one! π
OH, yes, been that ALL MY LIFE! (((HUGS))) Amy
Honestly..oh wait there is no honesty in politics.
Left Liberal here. Good quiz!
Glad you liked it. I think it helps to get people thinking about things in a different way.
I, too, am a left liberal. No surprise there.
It’s supposed to be pretty accurate. I’m a libertarian, no surprise for me either. π
Haha, for real it’s so accurate? Then let’s give it a try!
Go for it! I hope you find it fun and interesting. I’m always interested in the reactions and comments people have when they take it.
Please let me know what you think (and how you scored- if you want to). π

Wow. I am 100% centrist. No wonder I have problems figuring out who to vote for.
