And you shouldn't be ashamed, Dank. Not at all. What I have a little problem understanding though, is how libertarians can be to the left of center. Libertarianism is about less government intrusion in our lives. That would include reducing government's taxing authority and welfare statism that's attached to that taxation. If one is going to be a "leftist" Libertarian, isn't that kind of like being, what Bush calls, a "Compassionate Conservative?"I am not ashamed of being on the left side of the equasion, and nor should I be ashamed of where I stand politically. I will say that I'm not as far left as you may think though.
And the abortion and charity issues as well.I think the 'left libertarian' probably is a result of the homosexual questions...
Gotta be more than just that, because I'm completely against abortion and believe private charity is much better than public charity..And the abortion and charity issues as well.

Probably the same here. The homo questions were a couple of the few I answered 'Strongly' for. Little gray areas in my logic really keeps me from being extremely anything.I think the 'left libertarian' probably is a result of the homosexual questions...
The idea that Libertarians can also have a "social conscience", and that some of us have been disillusioned enough by corporate behavior and effects to understand that we actually need government oversight.And you shouldn't be ashamed, Dank.

Right On! I agree.The idea that Libertarians can also have a "social conscience", and that some of us have been disillusioned enough by corporate behavior and effects to understand that we actually need government oversight.
That's my take on it, anyway.
Rock on.. that's probably it...
My thinking is on More corporate oversight. Corporations have had more and more tax breaks and less regulation and yet they still want more and more their way, and lack a social conscience.
I actually answered very few of the questions as strongly for or strongly against.
Like I said before, Government shouldn't be able to tell me what I can do with in the confines of my own home or what I can do with my personal life.
I'm a Civil Libertarian.
I wonder how many times hes going to redo the test before he lands in the green quadrant? HAHABumped for Med.
Come on ya big chicken ... take the test and post the results.

Still no Med.
I predict Med will be in the extreme upper left hand corner of the graph ... right next to Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot.
