There have been a few threads about Political Compass in the past (2005: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36101; 2007: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145591). Various discussion has touched on the 'accuracy' / biases of the test.HUELEN10 said:
In the 2007 thread, iamchris kept a chart of Neogaf's responses. The original image in the OP is dead, but this image from him was still live on Page 5:
Edit: I think iamchris mislabelled the axes on that image. JayDubya said in that thread he was "L/R: +8.88, Lib / Auth: -4.72". The x-axis should be Economic and the y-axis should be Social, just as it appears on the images from politicalcompass.

What? We as conservatives have a right to leave the world in any shape we deem fit. The government, however, puts our children's futures in danger, and we must stop it.

I'm a National Security Liberal, I'm pro civil union, pro Universal Health Care, pro weed legalization, and higher taxes to pay for things that need to be done...but I'm also pro guns, pro military spending, and pro making sure the US is top dog in international affairs

The tag makes sense.
It would be unfair to associate you with a conservative group instead of the national party of fuckwit, as liberals can join too.

Is this a fruit/vegetable?
A) No. School lunch programs should provide children with a nutritious breakfast and lunch so all children can focus on school and not their stomach.
B) Yes. It's more than enough. In fact, hunger can be a positive motivator.
If you answered A you are liberal. If B you are a royal schwatz.
When I was 8 I took this test and realized Newt Gingrich was full of it.
Lol. Conservatives never create debt or borrow money. LOLZ.

Anyway, the OP should spend some time in PoliGAF, it'll be fun. Enlightening. pretty low (non insane) conservative representation, however. ToxicAdam depends, he ranges from nutty (particularly on global warming) to pretty cool. (He's pretty socially liberal, however*) Macodin is a conservative, but not the american-conservatism type. LovingSteam is a hardcore conservative who defected to the liberal side, so he might not count.
*in fact, it's difficult to be a social conservative on GAF, much less PoliGAF

It's not what your positions are that determines this. It's why you have those positions.

ketchup as a vegetable controversy or ketchupgate refers to a proposed United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Drug Administration directive, early in the administration of Ronald Reagan, that would have reclassified ketchup and pickle relish from condiments to a vegetable, allowing public schools to cut out a serving of cooked or fresh vegetable from hot lunch program child-nutrition requirements. The White House Office of Management and Budget estimated a potential US $1 billion annual savings in the cost of subsidized meals for low-income students.
Release of the proposed directive for required public comment in September 1981 met with outrage from nutritionists and Democrats. Charges of greed and indifference were made by media and pundits. The administration responded their concern was to address "plate waste" and to serve what students would actually consume. Focusing more unwanted attention on the matter, a mid-level political appointee at the USDA touted the directive's language as an example of the "New Federalism" (returning rights to the state level) touted by Reagan during the 1980 presidential campaign, in that the final decision to implement would be made on the state level. Reassignment of that employee the following month led to charges of a political firing.
In reporting on the proposed directive Newsweek magazine illustrated their story with a bottle of ketchup with the caption "now a vegetable." The proposed directive was criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike, and was never implemented.[1]
