Liberal, conservative, statist, libertarian, centrist.... what are you? REALLY?!?

Take the above test and maybe get a surprise!
I still can't figure out how the definition of conservatism has changed so much. Anyways, my score is...
Your PERSONAL issues Score is 90%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 60%.
LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and
economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one
that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.
Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose
government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate
diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.
I scored 90% on both and most of that was because I don't think it's the governments job to govern morality. I think that has to come from within, not from without. That put me in the Libertarian spot. The only problem is I don't care too much for the Libertarian party. I really prefer the Constitutionalist party. shrug
90/80 here. I suspect that if people are willing to be really honest, more than we think will fall somewhere in the Libertarian area. The funny thing is... if that's the case, then our differences might not be a vast as we think! The questions asked on that survey take a lot of the 'conversational emotion' out of things and force us to give less charged answers based on what we really think down deep inside.
After i read through the constitutionalist platform, i think the only major difference between the two parties is religion. The constitutionalists are centered around the idea that Jesus is the principal derivative of the constitution while the Libertarians believe that our rights and freedom come from natural law. That doesn't mean that Libertarians hate religion, it just means that they believe that our country shouldn't be centered on one. I think that the constitutionalists are a little misguided when it comes to this aspect of their platform.

Maybe that's why I like them. LOL
I think I get most of my ideas about the Libertarian party from the last presidential candidate for the Libertarian party that I've seen and so I'm not impressed.

I'd be willing to bet money that anyone that's in a government position wouldn't score that way. :P

Puts me on the Conservative side, no big shocker there.
