Political Orientation

Here is a link to an interesting and, in my case, accurate political orientation test:

The Definitive Political Orientation Test

Though it offers to post the results on Facebook (which is where I found it), I generally try to avoid politics on Facebook.  Here is where I landed on the graph:


One might take issue with the design of the graph.  Why is 'Liberalism' in the center?  That certainly gives the impression that the most balanced person is a liberal and everyone else is an extremist in one way or another.  I rather doubt that is by accident.  In any case, this was the description for the Right Libertarian:


That describes my positions quite nicely.  A recent comment observed a similarity in my positions to those of Ayn Rand.  I do like Rand though she goes overboard with the self-interest angle; charity is a good thing.
 
Take the test and then you will know why my blog irritates the heck out of you or is just a place to go for confirmation bias.

:) Keep reading, padawan, and you will eventually see that it is fully sensible. At least 90% sensible.
