Obviously these things aren't perfect, but whatever, somethin to do if you have the time. Would be interested to see how WSO looks on a chart.

I'd post my own chart but my numbers are VERY similar to the ones above. How did I get that chart? Capitalism rules all, deregulate *everything*. Marijuana is bad, but prostitution isn't. That puts me to the right on the economic scale and center of the social scale.

Obama isn't a Socialist in the European sense, he is a Socialist in the American sense.

Obama wants to raise taxes, makes everything a rich vs. poor and has a hard on for European methods. That makes him a socialist in the American sense.

Also, those questions were pretty limited and you knew what they were going for when they were phrased how they were.

I just wish Liberals would come clean and admit they want to dominate and control the poor. If they did that I would at least respect the position. You cannot roll out massive entitlements and still allow people to act like retards.
