no... anal is deciding where you are on issues not even mentioned based on your current alligence to a complex, everchanging and all encompassing  set of rules.

either that or you are a fool and/or a moron.

I answered several with M, btw.  To me, some aren't all or none issues.  I could change one of my N's to an M to move over to centrist...  ;)

I don't mean to be a pessamist, but I'm going to venture out and say that this test is created to make you fall over to the libertarian catagory, so that you can say "Oh yeah! I must be a libertarian! I'll sign up for their spam!"

But that's just me lol.

It's due to the seating arangments of one of the Early French Republics IIRC.  The seating of the legislature was arranged in a semi-circle, and the different political parties, while trying to get into caucusing groups wound up sitting so that the left side was full of liberals, and the right side, the conservatives.

I know that ;)

What i mean is "conservative" can mean "right" - like commies here in Russia, while "liberals" are "right" (pro-western parties).

Also, can you judge who was conservative or liberal between left communists (Trotsky, Mao, Khoji) or right communists (Tito), or "centrists" like Stalin? ;)

Does this chart mean that liberals will not give up personal freedoms and are willing to pay more than 50% of their money to guarantee it?  And Conservatives will not?  

Seems like the gun debate is debunks the first part of that argument. I feel confident in proclaiming that most conservative wish to keep their personal freedom to keep and bear :confused:

Remember that the present Governer of Arkansas set up a fund that any citizen who wished to could contribute to if he/she thought they paid too little in taxes?  The fund is nearly bankrupt.

There must be very few liberal thinkers in Arkansas.

Seems like the simple test is a little too simple.
