Some of the questions on this are ridiculous.
"Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races."
"All people have their rights, but it is better for all of us that different sorts of people should keep to their own kind."
My guess is if you say "Strongly Agree" to those, you're right wing. I'm not gonna even bother finishing this crap. |
yep. its ridiculous.
and their scale i just egregious. i mean look how they place people.
|
Obama's and Pope Benedict's placements confuse me.
|
That is their true placement. Obama is a conservative. He may have some liberal social values but he is first and foremost a conservative. Read their FAQ http://www.politicalcompass.org/faq
|
yeah sure he's a conservative. i guess if you start the scale in the middle, and leave out the entire left side.
by no definition of the word is he a conservative.
|
Obama is about as progressive as a piece of toast. He's progressive when compared to the likes of Mitt Romney, but only in social policy.
Also, anyone else think it's interesting that the people complaining generally fall on the side of the right?
|
economic policy?
expanding the welfare state, lengthening unemployement benefits. Socialized heathcare. increasing taxes on everybody, especially higher income earners. "spreading the weath around" he was a member of a communist party. increasing spending on everything, at a higher rate than anybody before him. him continually proping up business that the government seems worthy, especially of the "green" variety. most/all turning out to be economicall unsolvible.

These are all true. But he's still a conservative. Americans seem to have this very black and white view of politics. They seem to think you're either liberal or conservative, which is a load of crap. You can have some conservative values and still be liberal. You can have some liberal values, like Obama does, but still be a conservative.
The only true liberals to really run for president in the US in recent memory have been the likes of Jill Stein and Ralph Nader.
