Yeah, I know, I'm getting all political.
Why? Because I feel like it. And I'm a Libertarian, so I believe in individual freedom. So there.
Maybe next week I'll talk about tennis, or my hair, or maybe I'll talk about Cash for Clunkers.
Anyway. There is a quiz you can take that is quite accurate. It's called The World's Smallest Political Quiz. I'm sure you already know your own political leanings, but what the heck. Quizzes are fun!
If you so desire (because we are all free to make our own choices) click on the link above and take the quiz.
Then come back here (if you so choose) and tell me your results!
My result, as you know, was Libertarian.
Libertarian
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.
Which one are you?
Left (Liberal) 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. 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. 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. Statist (Big Government) economy and individual behavior. They frequently doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom are practical options in today's world. Statists tend to distrust the free market, support high taxes and centralized planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles, and question the importance of civil liberties. ......................................................................
Okay, so did you take the quiz? What did it say? Was it accurate? Let's have a little summit. Sorry I can't provide beer, but if you share with us I'll buy you a brewsky at next year's BlogHer. Is it a deal? |

I'm a Centrist. Seems fairly accurate.
My result was Conservative mostly because I have very strong opinions about governments control of buiness, taxes and the free market. I do feel I am more Libertarian in the personal and moral values arena because they are mucy more subjective (what is "traditional values" anyway?). I tend to voice my opinion and vote on things that affect me directly like taxes.
I am sitting in that Libertarian chair with you - no surprise as I even voted Libertarian last election.
Found you through Karen (Smiling through it All) and oh-so-glad I did! It's always great to find another *conservative leaning* blogger - especially one that is female. Seems we are few and far between!
I am a centrist, but right where the centrist, libertarian, and conservatives meet. I think this is a pretty good representation of me. I am very conservative when it comes to free trade, industry, and a business environment that encourages competition and business growth.
I have to say, I really like the mix of your posts. I love the variety, and you always have a great things to say, politically and otherwise. Keep it coming!
I centrist. And I totally am. I have always considered myself a conservative liberal (lol) so it makes sense that I am in the middle.
My result was Libertarian, too. I've always said my political philosophy is fairly simple--keep your nose out of my business, keep your hands off my money and take responsibility for yourself.
