Where Do You Fit In This Political Spectrum?

[violakat]

I have a feeling your more like me, a centrist.

Okay. Someone throw a dart at the chart. Wherever it lands, that's what you can consider me. I don't care. LOL

 

[p_rehbein]

HEY TOM! IZ DAT U?

It is actually Higgins. I have appropriated Magnum's visage in order to gauge the various reactions of trolls.

Zeus! Apollo! Come along!

Here is mine:

I'm on the conservative side somewhere between Locked-n-Loaded.

[h=1] Therefore, as it is written: "Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord."

Help in Evil Times [PSALM 12 to Music][/h]
[video=youtube;r-RZS15s_jo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-RZS15s_jo[/video]

Psalm 12
Plea for Help in Evil Times
To the leader: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

1 Help, O Lord, for there is no longer anyone who is godly; the faithful have disappeared from humankind.
2 They utter lies to each other; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts,
4 those who say, ‘With our tongues we will prevail; our lips are our own—who is our master?’
5 ‘Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan, I will now rise up,’ says the Lord; ‘I will place them in the safety for which they long.’
6 The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure, silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.
7 You, O Lord, will protect us; you will guard us from this generation for ever.
8 On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among humankind.

Enjoy Shalom

Wrong. That is "Am I my brother's keeper?"

My question is simple and has been asked before, Why is a German constantly acting like she has a say in American politics?

I can't help if a direct question isn't answered, but I can keep asking in case maybe she misses the question.

And, in like kind, I'm not really interested in how Hitler fits into American political terms. He wasn't American and libertarian is a new term.

America leads the world. As the US goes, so does most of the world. But I'm betting this election will be the final straw that breaks that relationship. Trump will win, congress will stonewall him, foreign leaders will ignore him, and we'll become an also-ran in the scheme of the world.

I've always been curious about that phrase. Does not the gun have to be loaded before the breech is locked? So shouldn't it be loaded-n-locked?

 

[RickyZ]

The middle. A very lonely place in this polarized world.

Knowing you're laughing at the above propaganda makes me laugh.

Same as hand-eye coordination; it should be eye-hand coordination.

Did you ever think,

That if Trump gets elected,

And Putin, China, and Islam attack,

That Israel will be the first one that Trump abandons?

Apparently the party I am closest to agreeing with in the UK is Plaid Cymry , and in the US, the closest match is Jill Stein (Never even heard of the guy Oh well.... I doubt Norways and USA's politics are very comparable anyway, I should see if I find a Norwegian test )

Thank you for the link. This is what I got:

That is almost spot on from what I gave myself. lol

 

[zeroturbulence]

I just want someone in the white house who will honestly make an effort to do right by the people instead of catering to the corporations, countries and uber-rich billionaires that donated to their campaign!

I was not too far off either.



I think my placement farther to the "Left" of what I hypothesized is owed to the fact my philosophy is heavily influenced by my political Protestantism. As such I'm less likely to be "RIGHT ON" when questions arise like "People should keep to their kind" (man is fallen) or what's good for business is good for anyone/no responsibility to anybody but shareholders (higher law).

To me it proves that American "conservatism" is, at it's heart, different in that it has codified anti-canon and feudal law elements of Protestantism/Anglo Enlightenment theory.
