How left-wing are you?
40 questions; average score: 209.5
"Progressive Ideas For A Strong, Just, And Free America"
When I think of "progressives", strong, just, and (at least) economically free aren't in the same sentence.

Why can't there be a political party that's socially hands off, marry/fuck/do whatever the hell you want as long as it's in your yard and not mine, and also hands off free market wise? Why do the fucktards in the republican party have to shove their "values" down our throats along with a tax cut, while the demos are socially liberal, which is great, but have to compromise that with their need to create more paperwork and paperpushers at every turn?
(and I'd want both parties to be environmentally responsible, that seems prudent no matter what one believes at this point)
Sigh.

Libertarianism: the belief that you can take a shit in the middle of your living room and the free market will clean it up.
EDIT: I'll take the progressive quiz this weekend. I've found, with these online polls, that I tend to overthink my answers unless I'm all boozed up.

I’m willing to join as long as abolishing Affirmative Action, and ending aid to Israel are included in the program. I’m also in favor of reforming Welfare so it no longer produces welfare whores who get pay raises every time they pop out a bastard. And of course I want our border secured and illegal Mexican, Guatemalan, and other Turd World peasants removed.

America would be a far better place if its citizens would practice a little civil disobedience... Americans have weakened themselves by clinging to and trusting political, moral and social authorities... It's time the individual took back their rights and quit handing them out freely to whatever fearmonger crosses their path... People give themselves up to religion because they're afraid of hell, they give themselves up to what ever politician can scare them the most then offer them protection... People are always looking for some form of representation to protect them be it unions to churches to politicians.... I've personally been failed by every "authority" I've accepted in my life and I'm no longer falling for their scams.... If it's a law that you don't agree with then you disregard it, if society or religion says it's immoral and you don't see how, do it anyways.... It's time people started thinking and acting for themselves again rather than depending on someone or something else to do it for them... Americans are a bunch of pussies and refuse to take care of themselves or think for themselves like adults...

You're a fucking hypocrite that has eagerly slurped up every drop of advantage your country has given you and stamped it as MINE! so that you can claim to be an individual who doesn't need anybody.

(thats the only sailing phrase I know.. that and "will you knock it off being Captain Bligh, Grandpa?")
Okay, and Dirk, the libertarians suck when it comes to the environment, no?

I don't feel as if I've "slurped up every drop of advantage" my country has given to me and stamped it as mine.... I've been employed at my current job for nearly a decade and I've done what I could to be an asset to them... Being an asset means that I have job security and they give me merit raises to retain my services... I've never applied for or reaped the benefits of any social program nor have I put myself in a position in which I might have to someday... Liberals treat individualistic people like myself as if they are the problem when that is as far from the truth as can be.... The problem lies with people who will not take care of themselves and expect mommy and daddy government to hold their hands and wipe their asses for them... I will admit that living in the United States has offered me opportunities that aren't available in other parts of the world, but that does not mean that I am responsible for feeding and caring for the weak and the lazy... I have made the decision not to have children, to be an asset and not to infringe upon the rights of others... I am not the enemy here... The enemy are people who actively take advantage of social programs as if it's an acceptable living option... The enemy are people who bring children into the world they cannot support on their own.... These are the people who liberals coddle.... Just the other day I was watching a woman on television barking about how difficult they make the applications for welfare and section 8 housing and how vicitimized these poor people are that have to fill out these applications.... I'm sorry, I don't feel for them in the least, I have to work ten hours every fucking day to pay my bills so I could care or less about how long it takes to fill out a form for free money and housing... And as for Toe's question involving whether or not Libertarians are environmentally responsible or not, it all depends on the Libertarian that you're talking to, there are more ways to be responsible than through regulation...
