However Arlo and I seem pretty much of the same political frame of mind which is no surprise to me...

Quite a few in the Left Libertarian quadrant.  I must have been peeking at motherland's and texasmom's answers: got the exact -3.88 econ and close with -1.74 social.

On the Political Compass:
Economic L/R -1.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -2.36

On the Advocates:
Your PERSONAL issues Score is 90%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 60%.

Leftish Libertarian. Both tests pretty much resulted in the same answer.

Economic Left/Right: -4.50

Actually I'm more on the right in economics. It lacked the questions where I'm to the right.

Stupid loaded questions left out alot of important ones.

Here's my political stance:

The man can kiss my oscar.  He needs to stop taking so much of my hard earned money and giving it to the lazy mo fo's who won't get off their butts and got get jobs.  He needs to stop taking my money and building billion dollar bridges in Alaska that go to an island with 40 people on it.  He needs to stop taxing me when I buy a car, and then keep making me pay taxes onit every year I own the thing.  

He needs to stop telling me that porn, alcohol, and weed are bad for me and let me decide on my own.  He needs to keep his nose outta my house.  He needs to get his cops from behind the bushes with radar guns and put their butts to work solving murders and catching rapists.  

Schools shouldn't be gov't funded baby sitting... either the kids learn or they get kicked out.  Schools shouldn't be standardized test processing facilities either, let the kids learn and have a little fun every now and then.  

Stop funding the arts, if you can't break even doing the nutcracker, apparently people don't want to see it.  Stop bailing out busineeses with billion dollar loans, if they are ran that poorly, they deserve to go belly up.

Cut back on all the useless regulations.  They just end up costing the consumer more money in the end.  Try some of that free market stuff that we used to preach was so much better than communism.

Don't get me started on gov't health care.  I've changed doctors for the baby because I was tired of being in a waiting room with 50 other people and realizing I was paying for EVERYONE because they were all on Medica.  

Here's a great idea for uncle sam... why don't you flex some of that political/economical might and tell OPEC that you are going to buy oil for $30/barrel and if they don't like it they can sell their oil elsewhere.  Within 1 week they will have so much oil sitting around they'll have no choice but to back down and give in.  Or we can go with the good ole fashioned Seventeenth/Eighteenth century way of doing things... let's just go over there and take over.  Not regime change or any other PC crap, just go over and whip the crap outta them and make them a colony,  Who cares if that's all non-PC today, it worked fine for hundreds of years.
