Richmond didn't post his, that I can see. He just quoted SSF.

Oh I thought that was his. Still I figured I was to the right of SSF.

That's my result, Richmond just quoted my OP.

Yup, I think that sounds right. While I may lean a little bit more towards center for the last one, I don't believe that that's what everyone else SHOULD be doing. So, it makes sense that it scored me as a liberal there. Also, some more specific questions would have nudged me more towards center there.

Sorry for the confusion guys...I got a little drunk last night
I remember taking the quiz, but don't remember the results lol. Though I'm fairly sure it was pretty liberal

needed a libertarian here, albeit one who leans more left on the economy.

Is that possible--a big government libertarian?

Thought the same thing. In my view, a libertarian, by nature, can't be left.

Some economic protections doesn't have to constitute "big government".

As defined, neo-liberalism is to the right of a centrist.

Yup. This is speaking on the global political spectrum. Neo-liberalism is center-right, or centre-right if we use Queen's English.

Secondly, I'd be very interested in seeing what bfine and lucie got on this test, assuming the latter is being serious.
I will take this seriously.
I am little surprised with the civil portion. I wonder if some of the nation responses play into the civil portion. I choose to legalize drug use, etc.
Everything else I am comfortable.

You should look up the original and modern dilemmas as they pertain to political science/government. I think that would be helpful to understand this more. Not just for you, but anyone lookingto understand this sort of stuff. I would go into it, but I am on my phone right now.

You're center-right, which doesn't surprise me at all.

I was too lazy to go through the work of posting mine. I'm right around this too.

Correct, and many are also center-left. Meaning that there is still more that unites most of us than divides. Now, if only we could get our elected officials to realize that they are also all Americans, not just Left Wing or Right Wing, and start moving forward for the general good, things would be much better for all of us.
