Actually, he sticks pretty solidly to his conservative beliefs. The flip-flopper is Bush-- against Homeland Security, and then for it. Against increasing troops, and then for it. What else is a real conservative to do than eventually say, "Bush is no conservative?" In a way, I've felt kind of bad for the guy (Sullivan, not Bush)- I've read his blog for a few years now and it's been interesting, watching him let go of his support for Bush. (I think it was Abu Ghraib and habeus corpus that finally convinced Sullivan that Bush wasn't fit to be President.)

Oooh! Which reminds me! He had a fun quiz to find out where you fall on the political spectrum. I'll go find it and post the link here.

Found it!

I came out as a leftist libertarian. Go figure.

And, reading my last post, realized that I described taking a political questionnaire as "fun." Guess how much I dated in high school? :)

Wrong! This one is called "The Political Compass." Hey, what does "WSPQ" stand for? I'm intrigued!

Interesting. I came out next to Ghandi, lower left quadrant. Good company, I'll take it.

it was fun!

i came out as a leftist libertarian too, but very close to the center of the graph -- somewhere between Pope Benedict and Nelson Mandella.

While these things are obviously not definitive, I always find it interesting that I tend to "believe" closer to the center than I speak. I think I'm more socially "liberal" but more economically and governmentally conservative.

fun but long...
Economic Left/Right -0.75

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -0.97

darn close to to 0,0...which really doesn't surprise me.

Why would it not surprise me that a guy whose screen name is Dr. Fager would have an almost perfect dosage? :)

(Seeing as how it seems like Dr. Fager could do everything)

I find it boring, probably why I have such a tough time joining in on these brew-ha-has.....:D :p

Except I thought there were questions where although I thought something was the moral or ethical choice, I DIDN'T think enforcing it was the gov't's job. I'll have to look at the quiz again.

What did it pigeonhole you as, B?

I landed right on top of Ghandi. Immediately went to Bed Bath & Beyond to purchase new linens and scented candles.

well, i suppose it was "high" "time" someone came to suck the "fun" out of it.

i couldn't get past the first few questions being a kiwi in australia for the past 20 years i'm still classed as a immigrant myself:cool: Kiwi at heart but aussie for oppertunity:D

I'm a leftist libertarian also.

Your political compass
