To be honest there were a couple of questions I was tempted to say "Maybe". I agree with you. In an ideal world people would be free to do what they wanted including buying drugs without controls. Unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world and not everyone will or is capable of being responsible for their actions, and so libertarian ideals must be tempered with common sense.

Josh Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 ACCORDING TO YOUR ANSWERS,You fall exactly on the border of two political philosophies... . CONSERVATIVE LIBERTARIAN CONSERVATIVES tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditional values." They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy, and endorse strong law enforcement. LIBERTARIANS 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.

We all need the government to pay for our kids, health care, retirement, auto insurance and tv channels! We need a party that embraces the personal/social ideals of the Liberal Party and the economics/financial freedom of the Conservatives. I strongly believe if a party like this emerges in the next 25-50 years, they will dominate politics at the federal level. Quote
cybercoma Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 Heck, if I had the financial backing, I'd start up the party myself. Quote

BC_chick Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 Shockingly..... LIBERALLIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.

Slavik44 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 Liberal Your PERSONAL issues Score is 90%. Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 40%. Interesting.... given your political compass score. How so? I guess my economics score is out a bit, but this is a really small test and in some of the cases I am not sure what the question is getting at. For instance cut spending by 50% I disagree with that Is maybe that I might agree with that? Which I still don't I agree in principle that government spending priorities are out of whack, and that there are a number of places where I would scale back spending, but 50%??? Replace government welfare with private charity By 100%? Replace it completely? I don't know about that, and how do we define government charity? As opposed to safety nets?

Drea Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 Your PERSONAL issues Score is 100%. Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 20%. Hmmm...I always figured I was more "centrist". Of course this is an American site and in America "Liberal" means something different than it does in Canada. Personal freedom is more important to me than economic freedom. LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net"to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles Conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditional values."

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. Centrists espouse a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems. All-in all, these descriptions are pretty accurate IMO. Quote ...jealous much? Booga Booga! Hee Hee Hee
