Where are the left wingers, I ask?

Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.10my fiance is calling me a commie.

me too.

probably. that's okay. we're the dangerous left. we're gonna sit in and conscientiously object them to death.but seriously. there is a vocal minority of lefties. but they're on the internet and they forget to vote. the majority of this country is falling off the right cliff. and in the mean time, we have this imaginary spectre of the evil commie left which you and i encourage with our extremism. of course, we probably vote differently than we e-quiz.

i really can't see that anyone out there has a chance of winning. i just really don't see it. not at all.

i'm so pissed that both hillary and barak support the patriot act.

is your brother really politically conservative? or just socially conservative?

i think one of the issues with the quiz is that conservatism under a democratic system is libertarianism (i.e. smaller government, less personal oversight) which tends to coincide with social liberalism (left-ness) but doesn't necessarily. however, libertarianism is the "liberal" side of this compass. social conservatives should tend to be more authoritarian, while political conservatives in this country may not really be political conservatives. also, socially liberal people may be authoritarian in nature because of their view that the only way for people to do the right thing is if their government tells them what to do. this is authoritarianism whether the espoused "right thing to do" is kill gays or enforce equal pay.this accounts for the issues you see in the test. america is schitzophrenic.

authoritarian governments be it fascist dictators or absolute monarchs. i don't either, but i have less faith in people in positions of power. glad to see my schooling isn't a complete waste.

read above a bit. maybe if you understood how politics work, you'd be less convinced of the bias.
