Here is my political compass:
Here are my results from having taken the Political Compass test.
Where do I stand politically? You hear me often say, “I’m a moderate with a liberal tilt”, and some people are probably thinking, “What the heck does that mean?”. So, I created this profile for myself and for you all to better understand where I’m at. By the way, this is in NO particular order. Have at me! 
My Liberal Side
I believe in decriminalizing marijuana. (Just tax the heck out of it.)
I believe in decriminalizing prostitution. (Just tax the heck out of it.)
I’m against capitalist greed regarding the following issues and the following issues ONLY:
- I do not support tax cuts for the rich.
- I believe that our jobs should be protected. I don’t like them being sent overseas.
- I don’t believe in free trade. There should be restrictions set.
- Our government should allow for competition and prohibit the monopolizing of goods and services.
- I do not support American Globalization. Let other countries make their own stuff in order to preserve their culture. We shouldn’t insult their intelligence like this as they are just as capable to create their own computer operating systems, all other technologies, their own blue jeans, their own music, their own TV programs, their own websites, their own advancements in medical science (including medicines and cures), their own literary pieces, their own military, their own arms, their own aid in case of natural disasters, and their own food and beverages. Americans realize that their stuff sucks anyway, and that it’s not making any sales abroad. America also realizes that she cannot survive as a country without YOUR exports. So, please continue sending us what you’ve got! This would benefit all parties involved.
I do not support Bush or Dick Cheney.
I do not support the war in Iraq.
I am against French-bashing.
I believe in multilateralism over unilateralism. (But then again, the world is Americanophobic no matter what we do, so this position is subject to change.)
Heath Care? I prefer the way the French do things!
I am an atheist. (I don’t know why this gets connected with politics, but it does, doesn’t it?) And here’s MY version of the “Ten Commandments”.
I believe that Church and State should be separate. (Psst… nobody’s saying that you can’t pray. You can do it at home, in church, or out in public!)
I believe in pro-choice – not pro-abortion (there’s a HUGE difference that the far Right love to ignore!).
I support stem cell research.
I believe in welfare, but I just think it needs to be reformed into stricter measures to prevent people from cheating the system.
I’m anti-fur, but if someone wants to buy a fur-coat, I WON’T taunt them. (I eat meat and wear leather, so feel free to call me a hypocrite!)
I support the Geneva Convention, and believe the Islamic prisoners (or any prisoners for that matter) should be accorded its protection.
I support Gay Rights meaning that I support gay marriage, gay adoptions, and support homosexuals who want to join the military.
I support DILDOS in Alabama. (I mean… c’mon – religion, STAY OUT OF OUR BEDROOMS!) (Is it any wonder why it’s hard to find cucumbers at a grocery store in Alabama???) 
I’m STRONGLY against circumcision. Here’s why. More here.
I’m against corporal punishment.
I believe we should break the barriers with Cuba and start trade (with restrictions) with them again. I also want to be able to travel to Cuba if I want to!
I’m against the Patriot Act.
My Conservative Side
I believe in TIGHT border security and am against illegal immigration.
I support our presence in Afghanistan. (And *NO*, 9-11 was *NOT* an “inside job”.)
I support our troops whether or not I agree or disagree with the war. Click here to find out why.
I am FOR offshore drilling and am VEHEMENTLY AGAINST dependency on other nations for oil when we have our own areas to drill right here at home (Alaska, California, Florida etc).
While I don’t agree with organized religions, I fully support the right to practice them and believe in whatever you want, so long as they don’t infringe on the rights of others.
I don’t have a problem with the Death Penalty, but don’t mind if criminals get LWOP (Life Without Parole). All I’m concerned about is that our criminals remain **PERMANENTLY** off the streets. And I don’t believe in any such nonsense that they can be “rehabilitated”.
Although, I don’t think that this should have anything to do with one’s political leaning, I am GRATEFUL to be an American (!), and consider myself a true patriot. If you want to know how I define patriotism, please see my glossary.
I’m against Americanophobia. Please see how I define it here.
I don’t believe that FULL multiculturalism works. Watch this to see what I mean. And read this for even more information.
I am against Islamic Fundamentalism.
I strongly support Israel’s right to exist. (More generally speaking, I’d just like to see peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis in the near future, so I feel for both groups.)
I support the 2nd amendment: I find that our gun “laws” need to be tighter, however, I support those that have them. “Switzerland has very low rates of violent crime, yet firearms are easily accessible. (All males keep weapons, including rifles, revolvers, automatic weapons, plus ammunition).” –”Sociology” by Anthony Giddens, p185 // This just proves that guns don’t kill people; people kill people!
I’m against the ACLU. (They are excessive and extreme. They need to be moderated and reformed.)
I’m against PETA. (I like their fundamental purpose, but they are way too extreme, and their own greed clouds their primary purpose.)
I’m AGAINST political correctness!
I can’t stand liberal elitist pseudo-intellectuals with their “War on TV”.
Being that many countries are on the side of the terrorists and feel that they can fend for themselves without our help, can we get out of NATO?
I believe the laws here are way too lenient with drunk drivers and sexual offenders. WAY too lenient. What ever happened to victim’s rights?
Al Gore exaggerated and twisted the facts in his movie about Global Warming (Shame on him!)
Michael Moore exaggerated and twisted the facts in his books and movies, and right now other countries are giving him a virtual blow job. (Shame on him too!)
Global Warming is innocent until proven guilty. Should Global Warming be guilty, I certainly think the self-rightous elite need to get their priorities straight!!!
I haven’t made up my mind on how I feel about………
“You hear me often say, “I’m a moderate with a liberal tilt.”
I think maybe that should be reversed. Your positions taken together seem a tiny bit more to the left with a even slighter rightward tilt.
So, what would be a good name for me, then? A liberal with a little red? I know I’m not a full-blown liberal because when liberals see my profile, they cringe. I’ve also been called (by a ‘liberal’, mind you) a “Jesus Freak” and an “extreme right winger”. Yes, just from my profile!!
“So, what would be a good name for me, then?”
Perhaps the best answer is acknowledging that the left-right political spectrum is just about worthless. I prefer a differentiation between statist and anti-statist (i.e. maximizing individual freedom and limiting the role of government) which would make one extreme anarchy and the other extreme something akin to the Soviet planned economy and political repression.
LOL. Interesting, since I describe myself as a moderate with conservative tendencies. Yet, when reviewing your list, I find I’m on the opposite side of the fence on about half to two-thirds of your beliefs
I wrote an entry about this in another blog (moderates, and why we are rarely talked about, when we are really the majority). I have been planning to clean up that post, and publish it over here. Your post will probably make me do it sooner rather than later.
[...] another person may hold opposite views that I do (and I’m sure MANY do). Yet, this person too, could be labeled a moderate. Liberals and conservatives have a platform; [...]
Well, it sure is nice to know I’m not the only moderate out there.
Let the forces unite!! 
This doesn’t make sense:
“I support the Geneva Convention, and believe the Islamic prisoners (or any prisoners for that matter) should be accorded its protection.”
If you’re referring to the clients of Club Gitmo, according to the the Geneva Conventions, especially the 3rd Convention, Article 4, Section A, all or most of them are not entitled to convention protections, and could have been shot upon capture.
By saying that any prisoners should be accorded convention protections, you are contradicting the conventions that you claim to support.
Therefore, by criticizing the United States for not according Geneva Conventions protections to people who are not entitled to such, you, my dear, are anti-American.
Article 4
A. Prisoners of war, in the sense of the present Convention, are persons belonging to one of the following categories, who have fallen into the power of the enemy:
1. Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed forces.
2. Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, belonging to a Party to the conflict and operating in or outside their own territory, even if this territory is occupied, provided that such militias or volunteer corps, including such organized resistance movements, fulfil the following conditions:
(a) That of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
(b) That of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;
(c) That of carrying arms openly;
(d) That of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.
3. Members of regular armed forces who profess allegiance to a government or an authority not recognized by the Detaining Power.
4. Persons who accompany the armed forces without actually being members thereof, such as civilian members of military aircraft crews, war correspondents, supply contractors, members of labour units or of services responsible for the welfare of the armed forces, provided that they have received authorization from the armed forces which they accompany, who shall provide them for that purpose with an identity card similar to the annexed model.
5. Members of crews, including masters, pilots and apprentices, of the merchant marine and the crews of civil aircraft of the Parties to the conflict, who do not benefit by more favourable treatment under any other provisions of international law.
6. Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units, provided they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war.
I think you voted for Ron Paul.
Actually, I will say it now as it’s already out in the open. I am voting for Obama/Biden.
