The Political Compass is validated once again.

[TahitiNut]

It sure matches MY perceptions ... even though I STRONGLY prefer the Kucinich perspective.

1. the base is in the center. nt.

[Solon]

4. The Base is all over the place, politically...

The only thing they really agree on is to vote (D) no matter what, doesn't matter if the particular candidate is an outright fascist, or a socialist.

[Indiana_Dem]

2. That's funny, I'm left libertarian on those tests and I've voted for

both Nader and Kucinich before.

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. The lower left corner of the green square is my home. :^) And I know many other DUers reside there

as well.

[TahitiNut]

5. Indeed. The VAST majority of DUers are there.

Funny 'bout that. :rofl:

[blondeatlast]

17. But we're smarter than the average... jackasses? Yeah, that works, actually! nt

[cliffordu]

6. I did that test some time back...

I'm obviously a commie pinko socialist rat of some kind compared to the rest of those people...I'm to the left of ralph nader.....

[TahitiNut]

7. You and me both, bro. (Along with over 60% of DUers.)

[joshcryer]

8. Got a link to the thread for that?

That's quite interesting given *some* of the rather ... authoritarian opinions I see here. You wouldn't make it in the lower left quadrant unless you were *quite* specific about your feelings of governmental control.

[TahitiNut]

9. It's buried in my Journal somewhere ... about a year ago or a little less.

:shrug:

On edit ... Here it is in my Journal http://journals.democraticunderground.com/TahitiNut/436

19. Truly amazing and quite unexpected.

I love it though. I would like to think most DUers are in that category, but yeah. Sometimes the discussions don't seem that way at all (the idea that DU is an anarchist forum in disguise is amusing at least).

[EFerrari]

16. Is that for real?

:woohoo:

[TahitiNut]

18. Yup.

511 DUers polled nearly a year ago.

[cliffordu]

20. I KNEW we were a bunch of liberal asshats.

:rofl:

[TexasObserver]

10. I'm about where Nader is, but I still hate his sorry ass.

Politics is the art of compromise, and I know I can only get half a loaf, so I compromise to get there. As that great English man of letters said "you can't always get what you want; but if you try sometimes, you get what you need."

[monomach]

11. Ok, I think this means I'm a communist or something? Help?

Far to the left, way to the left of Nader, but almost exactly on the horizontal line.

Can't post the graph, though. Says it has an illegal code.

[VolcanoJen]

12. Blue is a far finer shade than red, my friend.

I'm stoked, personally!

Although I'm a little freaked out at myself for always ending up in that weird autho-right box when I take this test. FLAWED TEST, I SAY!!!

:hug:

[TahitiNut]

13. I like green, myself.

:hug:

I just finished off some Montgomery Inn ribs, tonight. They were leftover from Sunday. I had a backyard birthday party/BBQ for my step-nephew and THIS year I found I could buy their ribs at a local restaurant (Ginopolis) owned by a good friend of the Gregory family. They have them trucked up from Montgomery and serve them to people with taste hereabouts. Last year, not knowing about this restaurant, I ordered about $300 worth direct from Montgomery Inn, shipped in dry ice via FedEx. 'Spensive! This year, I spent less than 1/3rd of that. Yum!!

Best. Ribs. Ever.

[VolcanoJen]

14. They are delicious

Now tell me, what do you think of our chili?

[TahitiNut]

15. Looks good.

There is no such thing as "too much cheese." :rofl:
