Well, They're Actually Going Through With It

[Guest JMA]

Now, as far as Rush and talk radio: TALK RADIO MEANS NOTHING. It's really just annoying drivel, whether it be right or left wing.

 

Thing is, it might well mean nothing --- but the left has been busting their nuts for YEARS to try and beat out Rush in that medium.

He certainly gives them enough ammunition to use...

Economic Left/Right: -1.12

About what I expected, slightly left of center and slightly libertarian. I take offense to having Jean Chretien as my closest comparison on that international chart though.

[Guest JMA]

Economic Left/Right: -6.00

Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87

 

My closest comparison is...THE DALAI LAMA!?

 

Wow. I didn't see that coming...

[Guest Kamui]

Man, I'm pretty far to the right economically compared to my fellow liberals on this board. Must be the rich family thing. Bastards wiping off on me.

[NoCalMike 0]

I did this a year or so ago. Pretty Liberal/Left results, which should be of no suprise to me or anyone else on this board.

Economic Left/Right: 6.75

Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.46

 

Huh. I'm still in Milton Friedman's quadrant, but only barely; a little over a year ago, my scores were 4.50/-3.64.

Economic Left/Right: -1.52

Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.11

 

Well, that was unexpected. I guess I made more use of the "strongly agree" button last time.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

I very rarely, if ever, use the "strongly" choices. I think that contributes to my open-mindedness...

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0]

I only used it twice this time, I think.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

I think I've only used a "strongly" choice one time in my whole life while taking these "tests."

 

Out of curiousity, what did you answer "strongly" on?...

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0]

"All authority must be questioned" (strongly agree) -- That, IMO, is the very fabric of our democracy.

 

"Significantly congenitally disabled people should not be allowed to reproduce." (strongly disagree) -- Personally, the thought of such Hitleresque "rules" etc. appall me.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

Just for the record I put "disagree" and "agree."

 

Call me Adolph...

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0]

We already knew that

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

But do I get any Tolerance Points for, if this were Planet kkk, not letting half the functioning adults of my realm breed as well?...

[Hogan Made Wrestling 0]

I put a "strongly disagree" on the one asking whether astrology can tell you anything useful. I don't remember using the strongly one otherwise.

Economic Left/Right: 0.88

Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.92

 

What I thought...leaning a bit to the right on economic issues and pro-law & order. I still think Schroder is full of shit.

[Guest MikeSC]

He certainly gives them enough ammunition to use...

Yet, they can't even come close to doing it.

 

As he said once, to beat him out, you have to beat out the hosts who are lower than him on the totem pole --- and they can't do that, either.

IIRC, this is pretty similar to what I had before.

I put agree to this and still came out far left, weird.

 

Now me and KKK have something in common, also weird.

Economic Left/Right: -3.88

Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.36

 

About what I expected.

Hmm, Economic left/right: 1.12

Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.56

 

Hmm, more moderate than Paragon? GO ME!

-=Mike

Well those aren't my scores, but regardless you're still more of a moderate than me....

 

..which is why we need a new test.

 

 

"You know, for a college student you possess a surprising lack of wit." This made me chuckle.

Or maybe, just maybe, I AM far more moderate than our more left-leaning members.

 

The left thinks the center is extreme right.

 

News: I AM THE CENTER --- or closer to it than most anybody else. Live it, love it.

-=Mike

I was joking about needing a new test, but whatever. I guess I need to add in a smiley to really drive the point home. Regardless, most people tend to take these tests with about as much seriousness as that "what day I'm going to die" site posted in GC awhile back.

 

The "Wit" comment made me chuckle because it reminded me of a kid trying AIM for the first time, not because I thought he had burned KKK.

 

The fact that Zorin has something in common with the KKK scares me...*reads carefully*...oh wait, never mind.

Don't fret.

 

The feeling passes away in a few hours, especially if you have a good bowel movement...

But I thought being full of shit might HELP with being liberal.

How can one be socially liberal, yet economically conservative? Don't the two contradict each other?

Not really. Being socially liberal means you're liberal on social issues like abortion, gun-control, gay rights, ect.

[Vern Gagne 0]

What about issues that would involve higher gov't spending. You want the federal gov't to take care of a problem, but you don't want them to use your own money.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

It's a stretch, but I'll buy it.

 

You make lots of money so you can piss it away on stupid social programs...

-=Mike

How can you be more moderate than the left-wing members? You've described yourself as an ultra-conservative in the past.

 

How exactly does the left view more moderate conservatives as extreme right? Most of the time they go after the wackos who carry dead fetus signs to abortion clinics. Or the religious nuts who think all gays will burn in Hell. I myself have no problems with conservatives as long as they aren't the talk-radio variety.

 

It isn't surprising many liberals stereotype conservatives as Limbaugh-esque douchebags. Those are the only ones who are actually heard. In a way, Rush and his ilk hurt conservatives more than helping them.

 

Also, if you're closer to the center than most here, why do so many of your posts focus on negative aspects of the DNC and/or liberals?

[Guest JMA]

Michael Moore? Are you trying to say he hurts liberals more than helping them? If so, I agree.

 

Edit: Thanks. That edit helped.

Wow we agree. Cicero would be proud.

 

(P.S. That post came out really wierd since IE decided to crash when I posted it lol)
