And when right wing politicians talk about them, they are very misleading on that point. They preach independence from government to their base and push money at corporations at every opportunity.

Husb2Sparkly Donating Member (1000+ posts) Wed Jul-23-08 12:58 PMResponse to Original message50. I scored 8, but I didn't like some of their choices Some of their choices seemed to me to be no choice at all.
Selatius Donating Member (1000+ posts) Wed Jul-23-08 06:24 PMResponse to Original message89. This test is flawed. I scored an 8, but Stalin would likely score not too far from me as well. The person's political views can be measured not just by examining his economic positions on economic issues but also his position on how to treat others in society, which holds ramifications on how economic positions are ultimately codified into law as well as social issues.A left wing authoritarian may agree with me on quite a few issues facing this country, but he's more likely to impose changes through force and terror, and it would be unfair to label me as an authoritarian in the same vane if I prefer to inform people or convince them of my argument and let them decide what to do, as opposed to forcing them to do something that I want.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
34 here but I don't think Bob Dole is more conservative than I am.
32 for me
