From the site! "According to your answers, the political group that
agrees with you most is..."

Saying that group agrees with your answers most, not that you are a
centrist?

LIBERTARIANS agree with me most. "support maximum liberty in both
personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller
government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from
coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual
responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote
private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market,
and defend civil liberties.

I thought it would another answer, like Mr. Bean or such.

I think their descriptions are accurate. If you want smaller government
for example you aren't a conservative.

The quiz is interesting, but far too superficial to be realistic, IMO.
It doesn't address the most horrible social problem we have, which is
drug abuse. My newspaper, online, has daily booking photos from jails
for three counties. Vast majority of arrests are for drugs or DUI's,
and the others are probably 90% related to drug and alcohol problems.
Arrests for carrying prescription drugs are insanely expensive, but the
alternative is our kids buying drugs on the playground. To compound the
problem of jailing people on drug charges, their families are then
destitute and their children left without parenting.

There is no politician on the planet who will solve what ails us most
seriously - drug and alcohol use and financial irresponsibility. I'm
not thinking my generation is fine and the younger generation is the bad
one.

We have loads and loads of pols harping about moral issues who have no
morals at all, and one-issue voters who seem to think that if we stamp
out abortion, drill for oil, and lower taxes, all will be well.

Your betters have -- at one time or another -- decided that we can't live
without groups to study, regulate, eliminate, or otherwise bother certrain
activities. As a result, we can't live without the following (short list -
there are several hundred such groups in the Executive Branch):

The American Battle Monuments Commission
Grain Inspection, Packers, and Stockyards Administration
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board
Committee for Purchase from People Who are Blind or Severely Disabled
Committee for Compliance with Textile Agreements
Indian Arts & Crafts Board
Interagency Council on Homelessness
Japan-United States Friendship Commission
National Indian Gaming Commission

And several hundred other bureaus, commissions, agencies, councils, czars,
administrations, offices, boards, committees, packs, herds, gaggles, and
groupies. Plus all the corresponding collections opposed to the goals,
policies, actions, rules, or memberships of the foregoing.

For the record, the thing said I'm a Centrist, but graphically I
appear
to be right at the intersection of leftist, centrist, and statist.
Who knew?

I concur. "Government should not censor", but people and the media
should have the good sense to censor themselves. (I'd certainly like
to hear
a helluva lot less about the Octomom.)

Most of the questions were that way. Hard to agree or disagree
definitively
with the issue as stated so simplistically.

The older I get, the less Libertarian I am. I've come to recognize
that most
people are too dumb to pour **** out of a boot, much less act out of
"enlightened self interest". They're woefully short on enlightenment,
and long on (misguided) self interest.

Conservative.
But.... I believe in a woman's choice re abortion.
I believe some abortions should be mandatory.
I believe some abortions should be retroactive.

Taking a harder look at the website, it is a Libertarian one. Maybe
they are trying to suck you in when your answers make you a Libertarian.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a Conservative who agrees with most
Libertarian principals. In real life, a registered Republican trying to
push the party away from the country club crowd.
