Yet Another Political Quiz

I think Hasdai may be on to something that political quizzes are to policy geeks, as Cosmo quizes are to drama queens.

As if there was any surprise here, I came out as Leftist-Libertarian, with a score of...

Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05


That puts me in the same company as Ghandi, Mandela and the Dalai Lama.

I'll take it.

According to that overly simple quiz, The political description that
fits you best is...LIBERAL

Big fucking surprise!

Actually, I have a special place in my heart for the LP propaganda (I mean, quiz.) The Libertarian Party reached out to this young political whippersnapper, when he was about 14, long before either of the 2 major parties would have given a shit about me, except for some free labor once every 4 years.

But what can I say, my politics have evolved beyond the position of a privileged white man, as most ardent Libertarians are. Not to get into a political debate about it or anything. I like libertarians, really, I do. I just can't stand that so many of them vote with the GOP, as if socially progressive/business conservatives are welcome in that Party anymore.

Card-carrying Libertarians are, generally, poindexter pussies who want police protection, prisons and middle-class social benefits but just don't want to pay for them.

Goldie, how did you answer the "Marijuana should be legalised" question?

For the record, I got:

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69

How did I answer it? Strongly disagree. No, strongly agree. No, I don't remember. It must be the drugs.
