[sorry, no map available...]

Note: I carefully looked at the links provided on every question to make certain that my 'Oppose' view on a topic matched their 'Oppose' view on a topic. Helps cut down on self-identification errors.

That's the lowest economic score yet, right?

It's nice that you can click on each question and get a more in depth description.  But I didn't like how a couple of the questions were described.

For instance, one question was:
Teach Moral Values in Public Schools (Support or Oppose)

But then the in-depth description equated "Support" with supporting school prayer.  I support teaching children moral values in school, but I strongly oppose school prayer.  Who ever said the two were equivalent?

Of course, this is a libertarian website, so I guess some of their views of the issues will be slanted.

creepy....I am almost damn smack in the middle



but I do have many seemingly conflicting views...for example I am for privatizing social security, but nationalising health care. I am for 3 strikes laws, but they should decriminalize drugs. I am for more spending for the convential military and no spending for star wars.

I can go on and on....I really wish there were a party in the middle, but as long as the Republican Party has teh religious right grafted onto it I have to go with the Dems.

Based on the above score, i'm a Moderate Libertarian Conservative according to them.

Think they made a mistake in omitting the "issues not counted."

Anything that makes me more authoritarian than libertarian is very off.

Not really.  Just like a moderate conservative or a libertarian conservative etc.

Anyone on the edge of the square is a nutjob.

Thanks.

I just realized... I've been taking this test wrong(I never realized when you clicked the questions it gives direct examples of the stances for strongly support, support, oppose, and strongly oppose)

so after reading through it carefully I've determined this is my score



I do feel that... It's a bit off. Immigration for example seems to be reversed imho.

I wish you could weight certain items more than others.  For example, if I think 80% of our GNP should encompass defense but also think we should scrap "Star Wars" then they cancel each other out, despite my radical (hypothetical) view.
