The left/right paradigm is increasingly less meaningful than the full political compass IMO. On a 2D map, more libertarian tendencies will skew you further to the left than you really are.

I made this purely based on my perception of regular posters to the political forum. I think it's accurate, but I'm sure people will disagree, especially about themselves.

Completely mischaracterized me.  But ok.

To the left an inch and down two inches and he's got me nailed.

Whoa...that sounded kinky.

If by Authoritarian you mean, take care of your own shit and live with the consequences of your own decisions, then I am fine with where you placed me.

He may be using a "total picture" live and let live on the Auth vs Libertarian spectrum - meaning financial AND social. Not sure.

heck I post more than Godfather and AUJarhead. 

[AUTiger1]

I would probably align more with where GH should be.  A little more to the left and down.

Part, but not all of it. That's more to do with left/right, actually.

Left/Right is more financial, Auth/Lib is more social.

Token gets dragged way up the authoritarian scale, comparative to where he'd be otherwise, for his views on law & order and the police state. Ogre would be closer to me if not for some religious stances. Neither are a fault, just an observation and explanation to why I put people where I did.

Yeah, but I don't read your posts.

Left you out and I agree. I'd have put you a little to the right and below Ogre.

I also forgot Saniflush who I'd put just below and just to the right of TownhallSavoy.

Almost accurate for me. I find myself moving more Left and more Libertarian (strange combo) as I'm getting older and not wealthy.

You love to go down.

I have noticed this and was going to drift you in that direction to reflect that, but made it more comprehensive rather than recent for you, perhaps to a fault on my part.

And there's nothing contradictory about left-libertarianism.

[Godfather]

Yeah, but I don't read your posts.

Thats a burn felt clear to the PNW.  That should warm your weather up a bit.

You did call for a single payer system in this thread, which moves you squarely into the red box on my chart.  And yes, I have a chart.

[Godfather]

Vertical is pretty spot on.  Horizontally I am more right.  Marriage I am always wrong.

Probably Ogre position but above him per usual.

[Kaos]

The chart is nice and all even though I'm not nearly as far right as it reflects and wes is hilariously too far toward the middle. 

It's distracting from the issues however.  I'd almost rather have movie quotes

[Saniflush]

Really depends on the issue for me like it does with most people.  By and large I want the government out of most everything that it absolutely doesn't have to be in.

[Ogre]

You always liked it on top.

yep...but i can still smell his pussy clear over the rockies and cascades. 

he loves me though.

When you don't waver on gays and illegals, you get labeled a right winger. I'm OK with that. I know exactly who I am.

Obviously my profession pulls me to the top but I can assure you compared to others in my field I'm probably a lot closer to you than I should be.  Specifically when it comes to alcohol and narcotics.
