Are you right or left?

Good God!

According to the test I'm a Centrist.

Personal note:
I only lean (fore/aft right/left) when I've got a load on. ;) lol ;)

I thought that I was a Moderate all this time - Is that the same as Centrist?

Good golly Miss Molly - labels labels labels - how confusing - it makes my head hurt.

Why is it necessary to answer to ANY label (whether left or right).

What I am and what I answer to is:

I'm 100% American! And proud of it.
 
According to the test I'm Centrist. Which is true.

But it had me leaning to the left, which is not true, I lean more to the right.
 
STATIST

STATISTS want government to have a great deal of power
over the economy and individual behavior. They frequently
doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom
are practical options in today's world. Statists tend to distrust
the free market, support high taxes and centralized
planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles,
and question the importance of civil liberties.

Isn't it amazing how in 12 small questions a computer can tell me exactly who I am. Thankyou computer. I feel so complete knowing that, despite incredibly limited questioning, I now have a label and am complete. I'm a STATIST everyone.... and damn proud of it :rolleyes: (note this was a sarcastic rant, just before anyone takes me seriously here)

Ok, so now I understand what a statist is, cheers FrenchPierre. Seems to me this is just a euphemism for someone who is a Nazi or a Communist... oh that had to just sting someone's self-image. A statist is just a kinder gentler term for someone who believes in authoritarian rule is it not? Sorry guys but I ain't drinking that Kool-aid.
 
According to some test I took, I was towards the top on the y axis, so i was kinda near facsism. But I am definately not facist in the way I think, so that test was flawed. I would just say I am Republican.

You sure you're not in denial Gladius?
:lol:


Ahh... I think you got me there. Just yesterday I called up my left wing communist and socialist friends, using my Nokia cell phone. We then all met and hopped in the brand new shinny airconditoned Volvo which belonged to one of my friends (a Lenin look-a-like). After which we drove to McDonalds to order veggie burgers. Once we were through eating, we then went to Starbucks to have cappucinos. All the time we railed and raged against the decadent corporate commercial capitalism that is ruining the peoples society. We discussed how the masses are so entranced by this. Who needs all these choices, people sure don't, that way they can concetrate on work instead of being distracted. Besides people don't need to think when everyone is equal anyways! What's the use thinking or innovating when this will make people unequal. The only ones who need to think is we the elite, of course. We will make the descisions for the people so they don't have to. Muwhahahaha!

:-D:-D


Seriuosly, my politics more Center to Center-Right, beleive it or not.

I disagree with most far-right ideas, I agree with most but not all center-right ideas for the most part but not always.

But I bet alot of people here think maybe I am far-right or even extremist right, but that simply not the case. The reason for this is, not that I like far-right wing (I don't), but instead I really hate left-wing political thinking, most of it at least.

I totally dislike left-wing thinking because it is divorced from reality, and I also believe having too much of it is leading or going to lead to the collapse of Western civilization, hence my opposition to it. The fact that I challenge these often, makes me seem far-right, but I'm more center-right.

To be completely candid my leanings left or right or up or down or slightly lower to the, yep, yes ahhhh, that's it...sorry... my views are dependant on the context of the situation. I have a different standard for others than I do for myself. I am far more lenient and forgiving to those other than myself. I also find that my views are in a constant state of flux on individual issues as I assimilate new information. The only constant is what just happens to be the core value of libertarianism- leave me and mine alone and I will do likewise for you. I have recently come to the hard realisation that I am a misanthrope and an intellectual elitist. Its uncomfortable sometimes facing the truth about ones self when it fails to match up with what your self-image had been.

chuckle... it says im a centrist...leaning to the left.

same here. I stand moderate on a lot of things, but on matters concerningf the military and foreign aggression, I'm pretty far to the right of Atilla the Hun. I agree with BullDogg that the situation often dictates our political leanings.
 
No west westpointer what i was chuckling about is that im FAR FAR FAR from center and its defintely not to the left. I was mocking the accuracy of the test.
