Conservative/Progressive score: 0You are a conservative (social conservative that is). You believe in traditional values, and don't want the popular media telling you how to think or what to do. You are probably a religious person who believes that the bible is a very good judge of what is right and what is wrong.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 4You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 5You're a Moderate. You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives. You might think that the 2nd amendment isn't necessary anymore because letting everyone a gun is extremely dangerous to the community. You might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 10You're a Militarist. You believe that since the United States has so much power in the world, it has a responsibility to keep the world safe. You think that if the US does not exert its power in the world, it may eventually lose its power, and that we can not look weak in the face of terrorists, and must take them out where they live.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of NeoCon Republican

Conservative/Progressive score: 4You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is usually well intentioned, but is sometimes too extreme in its ways. You want to help minorities get ahead in life, but you also don't think its fair to give minorities an unfair advantage in life either.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 7You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 6You're a Moderate. You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives. You might think that the 2nd amendment isn't necessary anymore because letting everyone a gun is extremely dangerous to the community. You might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 6You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Moderate.

I don't know if I agree with it saying that I don't think the 2nd Amendment isn't necessary, I think it's just interpreted wrong...everyone forgets the state militia part. But to have guns is important, if someone told me I couldn't have a gun and therefore I couldn't hunt, I'd throw a fit. And I think guns in self-defense situations is perfectly fine. If I had a gun and someone was threatening my life with an equally dangerous or just a dangerous weapon, I'd pull out my 9. I don't think I'd kill the dude, but I'd take him out.

Conservative/Progressive score: 3 You are a conservative (social conservative that is). You believe in traditional values, and don't want the popular media telling you how to think or what to do. You are probably a religious person who believes that the bible is a very good judge of what is right and what is wrong.

Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 2 You're a Capitalist Purist. You believe that the market should be completely free, and that the invisible hand of the market will make sure that the people get what they want and will do it in the most efficient way possible. You believe in small government, less taxes, and more privatization.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 9 You're an Authoritarian. You believe that, left to their own, many people will do immoral or harmful things. You despise drug users, pornography, violence, and all other things that you consider immoral. You also think that security is often more important than protecting rights. You think children need to be protected from seeing these things so it doesn't warp their minds, and that the will of the majority sometimes is more important than the rights of the minority.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 8 You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule.

Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 2You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 3You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Libertarian

(they pretty much nailed me as an absolute fiscal conservative, constitutionalist, and isolationist, however they muddled my fairly extreme social liberalism due to the reasons explained below)

I don't much like that it lumped certain things into my social stance that I wish wasn't there.

I view the social issue as two-pronged:

1.) Social Regulation (i.e. outlawing things). This includes abortion, gay marriage, drugs, et cetera. I say legalize them all and don't tell anyone what to do. I fully support the "cult of the individual". Absolute separation of church and state, etc. (note: I lump near complete firearms de-regularization in here too, to the left's chagrin).

2.) Social intervention (actively DOING things). This includes affirmative action, nationalized health care, and anything else that "helps people get ahead". These are NOT SOCIAL ISSUES, they are fiscal ones. My being against these things does not make me less of a social liberal, it just makes me more of a fiscal conservative.
