Actually, you're a populist (the opposite of a libertarian), but with conservative leanings.

Where have all the Conservatives Gone?

Based on this test, you are 45% socially permissive and 90% economically permissive, making you a libertarian conservative.

I figured I'd give my answers like everyone else did... I'm slightly less liberal now because of a point Theo made and the fact that I completely missed one of the questions before I guess I'm only as socially permissive as Pixie...

Censorship (*BLEEP* No!!!) =0
Death Penalty (Used to be on the fence. I fell off on the side of life) =0
Existence of Government (unfortunately we need it... might as well make the best of it) =1
Foreign Intervention (when we're asked by the countries involved and when it's for good and when it's affordable; more diplomacy and trade, less war)=.5
Gun Control (If I wanted one, you'd have to pry it from my cold, dead hands) =0
Immigration Laws (No. Risky I guess. But I think they're immoral and hypocritical) =0
Marriage Regulation (I originally said No, but Theo pointed out the necessity of holding fathers to their responsibilities) =.5
Selective Service (I threw out my draft card the moment I got it) =0
Suspension of the Constitution (NoNoNo. Never) =0
The War on Drugs (Whoever started this wacky policy was smoking crack!) =0

Tally up: 80% socially permissive... Maybe I should rethink my stance on government... Oh well.

Central Banking (I guess) =.5
Deficit Spending (BS) =0
Government Control of the Currency (hate to say it, but it's necessary for stability) =1
Government Welfare and Aid (yes, but let's not go overboard) =.5
Income Tax (yes, but let's not go overboard) =.5
Minimum Wage (it's pointless) =0
Nationalizing Health Care (Tempting... but no) =0
Nationalizing Property (Are you kidding?) =0
Progressive Income Tax (if it worked maybe... but it doesn't so no) =0
Social Security (yes, but I want to fix it, maybe privatize it... but definitely yes) =1

65% fiscally permissive... I got that one right the first time. Yay!

So I guess I'm still a liberal libertarian or a libertarian liberal despite my clerical errors?
My score is 50% permissiveness on both fiscal and non-fiscal issues, putting me exactly in the center. I appreciate all replies. Thank you very much.[/quote]

Oh. I was using the number system wrong. Your way makes more sense I guess. I had to subtract my total from 100 to get the results.
Oh well. It worked.

I'm kind of surprised at the number of people who oppose the minimum wage. At first, I thought it was a moot issue- of course I am going to support minimum wage, I said to myself. Then I saw all the other opinions and it got me thinking. Yeah, it is sort of pointless in that most people make far above minimum wage, but abolish it and I guarantee all those fast food chains and supermarkets will lower their wages below current minimums. This would mostly affect teenagers (well, who cares- only thing they wanna buy is drugs anyway) and senior citizens. As something with an 81 year old grandfather still working part-time as a crossing guard, I don't have the heart to let that happen to all those poor raisins.

We should post where everyone stands so we can see who we agree with on this site. So far the only one that shares my political views is Rockyreagan (not much of a surprise there).

but what's interesting is that both of us are from MA and NH, traditionally liberal states.

Where have all the Conservatives Gone?

I meant NY.

New Hampshire is actually fairly conservative (oddly enough).
