Very short ''political orientation'' quiz

GG's dad sent this to several of us. It is a very short (ten items) self-diagnostic quiz, to determine where you are along two dimensions: Liberal/Conservative and Libertarian/Government Intervention.

I found myself fairly far along the ''Liberal'' end of the spectrum, and balanced between Libertarian and Government Intervention tendencies.


The quiz is here: http://www.self-gov.org/quiz.html

Political ''Conservatives''

Under the American political system, the term ''Conservative'' is a bit of a misnomer, as one who was truly conservative would also be consistent in their views and behaviors, across all subjections. Or at least, one would think so.

I found this quote to be very insightful:

Why is it that [Conservative] lawmakers are gung-ho for personal responsibility and government abstinence when it comes to healthcare, welfare, and minimum-wage laws -- but they can't vote "aye" fast enough when it comes to intrusively legislating morality?

Its original context is here.
