Tonight is the first Presidential Recital Debate. I’m missing part of it because of work, and I don’t really mind. We know what they’re going to say. Heck, you can even plot their political bent. They’re not that different.
You can also calculate your own political leanings through a series of questions and see how you compare to your friends, historical figures, and evil tyrants. I really suggest reading the Analysis more than anything. There’s a good bit on the neo-cons and neo-libs in America.
No surprises for me really. I’m a leftie and I’ve even drifted further from the shore in my old age.
By the numbers:
Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.33
Its also worth pointing out that I have not had children yet. That certainly must factor in to it.
Poor Milton sitting all alone in the bottom right. Maybe I should join him down there. Of course, it is rather hard to juggle the conservative notion of removing all rights with the libertarian notion of removing all government, but I think I am up to the challenge.
What scares me is the relative positions of George II and Adolf Hitler.
BTW, I scored:
Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.56
Nyah nyah … I’m more liberal than you are! ;-)
Yeah – but you’re ex-liberal media – whaddaya expect?
