I got 80% conservative and 20% liberal.

Those answers were sometimes wonky and sometimes incomplete and sometimes neither were my choice. I think that was just a "click bait" site. Especially when you clicked on the giant START NOW button and it takes you to an ad.

Non-credible quiz.

Personal Responsibility: 75% Conservative, 25% Liberal

Fiscal Issues: 100% Conservative, 0% Liberal

Ethics: 100% Conservative, 0% Liberal

Defense and Crime: 100% Conservative, 0% Liberal

Didn't answer a few, as they were too limited in their options, so have no idea how these were "scored"!

85% Conservative and 15% liberal. It said 50/50 on ethics. I did not answer many of the ethics questions because both answers were simply wrong. Because of that, I don't trust that 50/50.

Horribly structured poll. Almost all of the questions were leading questions. Because of that, I have to rate the poll as statistically irrelevant.

I could score 100 con, telling them what they want to hear.

But something about Pro-lifers FOR Capital punishment and Pro-Choice Vegans who don't eat eggs because life is sacred, Just doesn't make sense to me.

Turns out I have a mind of my own.

It's a terrible poll.

Here's a question I couldn't answer:

It's more important for our country
[*]To help the poor and helpless
[*]Reduce the deficit and national debt


Question implies both cannot be done at once. Question also implies that helping the poor and helpless will necessarily increase the national debt. There are ways to help the poor that does not involve government.

Here's another poorly worded, simplistic question:

The war in Iraq is justified:
False
True

Based on the intel that we had in 2002 one could say it was justified. From what we know now, no, it wasn't justified. So why does the question ask: "The war in Iraq IS justified?"

Anyway, I was 80% conservative and 20% liberal but I didn't answer the two questions I listed, nor did I answer the question about marijuana.

I got 60 -40 conservative/liberal but that Iraq question alone made the poll dated. I think there is at least one other axis in political ideology, libertarian or not that that test didn't measure.

If one is staying at home, not working, complaining about everything and waiting on a check from the government, one is a Democrat. I do stay at home. I can't even get a haircut or a carwash. The only thing to do is go to the grocery store, which is out of disinfectant, the only thing that I really need except perhaps isopropyl alcohol.

What's wrong with the death penalty--did Pope Francis change your mind?

1. Protecting the environment is a primary social responsibility we have, regardless of how it affects businesses.
True - buisinesses should not be allowed to poison my water,pour cyanide in the air next to my house, or dump on my property.

2. Immigration policies.
Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country.

Yes, Right now immigration prevents people from European, East block countries, and Canada is prevented from entering the country and strictly favoring those of Mexican, Hispanic, and African descent as well as non-Christians.

These strict racist and bigoted Globalist policies should be removed. We should have a simple 500,000 person per year merit-based system selecting only those who want to integrate with our society.

3. Gay marriage
Should be legal and given the same rights as heterosexual marriage.

Marriage should not be recognized by the state. It is a personal religious matter.

4. Public education could be improved by
Revoking No Child Left Behind

Vouchers are used to enrich parents/corporations.

5. If you smoke marijuana...
It's your business

The war on drugs is incredibly stupid.

6. Affirmative action
Gives minorities and women a level playing field.

Women and “minorities” are stupid, less intelligent, and less productive than white men. Women and “minorities” insist that this is true because they’ve never protested affirmative action.

7. Carrying a gun is:
Dangerous and sketchy

You should holster your weapon when traveling with it.

8. Some people have less luck than others
True

Because they are too lazy to make their own luck. They need to get a job.

9. Social Security:
Can easily be fixed by making the rich and employers pay more

Yep, that’s the easy short term fix!

10. Taxes should be...
Something the rich pay more of. They can afforded.

Yes, the rich should pay more in taxes. Taxes should not be a flat fee, but instead should be a percentage of income earned. Something like a 20% tax for all incomes with no deductions.

11. It's more important for our country
To help the poor and helpless

By expelling all illegal immigrants and dumping averyone who can work off of food stamps and welfare.

12. The Fed should be more concerned with
Controlling inflation

13. The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders.
False

Companies should have the social responsibility to not betray the U.S. to its enemies.

14. Everyone has a right to health care, even if they can't afford it True

They should be provided with interest-free loans to pay for medical care like student loans.

15. All authority, by its nature, should be questioned
True

16. Abortion should be...
Restricted, discouraged, or illegal

17. Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified.

True

18. The war in Iraq is justified
False

Something that stupid is never justified?

19. The problem with the US justice system is:
Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights

People should be ready for life outside prison before they are released. A revolving door is a waste of money.

20. The death penalty
Is a violation of human rights


I am 15% Conservative and 85% Liberal. Still voting for Trump.

Well, thanks. Not many as liberal as you will vote for Trump. He's not as good as Calvin Coolidge but he has improved the economy. I'm not buying anything made in China again.

The joke is that no one is watching CNN right now since the airports are closed. :Biggrin

I am not liberal in the least, but libertarianism offers some possibilities. Sometimes conservatism goes too far with violating the Constitution for their own ends.

I don't need a poll or a test to tell me my mind.
I think they're doing it for conversational purposes. Or perhaps they are that terribly bored.

According to the website provided....
You Are 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal
Social Issues: 75% Conservative, 25% Liberal
Personal Responsibility: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal
Fiscal Issues: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal
Ethics: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal
Defense and Crime: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

However, according to a more detailed test at politicalcompass.org, it tells more of the story.
which is where I get my nick from.Political Compass.jpg

then it becomes ultra conservatism, extreme right wing ect, problem though is those on the left think anybody on the right are extremest.
