[TrueFaith77]

You scored 55% which means you are
55%moderately conservative. You believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values.

[Musicman408]

I scored a 79%. I used to identify as a Democrat, and I did vote for Obama twice (had no idea what Romney wanted to do with anything), but I do believe I am a Republican. I've been debating with this the last six or so months.

[TrueFaith77]

I'm a monarchist.

[louielouie2000]

Apparently I'm a Hardcore Liberal at 5%. I can't say I agree with that... I'm way more moderate than many liberals I've come across over the years.

What's the scale though? You are more authoritarian than libertarian and more socialist than capitalist? If i read that clearly?

I tried taking that quiz but it was too complicated! That's why I'm a monarchist. I ain't got time to be thinking about inflation!

[Musicman408]

Well I was easily able to answer ever question, but I don't understand the scale. It's not based on the American political system, which could be causing the confusion.

My basic belief in life: If you want it, get off you *ss and go work for it!!

[BombaySapphire3]

I scored a zero...a hardcore Liberal...sheesh and I thought I had become more moderate in my old age.

Not to pry, but what was your answer to the inflation question? Or how did you approach it?

[TerraRhiannon]

I scored 13% 'a hardcore liberal. You believe in governmental action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all, and that it is the duty of the State to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. Believe that people are basically good.'

I agree with this mostly. Sounds like me in a nutshell!

No quiz necessary. I'm a Socialist. Plain and simple, tax revenue and planetary resources should be used for the benefit of all humanity and not the selfish greed of a few. We all live here and this world belongs to every one of us. It's our only home.

Declaration of the Four Sacred Things

The Earth is a living, conscious being. In company with cultures of many different times and places, we name these things as sacred: air, fire, water, and earth.

Whether we see them as the breath, energy, blood, and the body of the Mother, or as blessed gifts of a creator, or as symbols of the interconnected systems that sustain life, we know that nothing can live without them.

To call these things sacred is to say that they have a value beyond their usefulness for human ends, that they themselves become the standards by which our acts, our economics, our laws, and our purposes must be judged. No one has the right to appropriate them or profit from them at the expense of others. Any government that fails to protect them forfeits its legitimacy.

All people, all living beings, are part of the earth life, and so are sacred. No one of us stands higher or lower than any other. Only justice can assure balance: only ecological balance can sustain freedom. Only in freedom can that fifth sacred thing we call spirit flourish in its full diversity.

To honor the sacred is to create conditions in which nourishment, sustinance, habitat, knowledge, freedom, and beauty can thrive. To honor the sacred is to make love possible.

Something else I wanted to add - The Founding Fathers feared this whole two-party system of ours. They would be mortified at our division into 'liberal' and 'conservative' groups. From our second President, John Adams:

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution. "

He was right. And it happened. One might argue: it wasw inevitable. That's why I'm a monarchist.
