Anywho, take a peek, or the test. I placed between Margaret Thatcher of Britian and Hitler, to my amusement. . .
Political Compass
I love it when the Left talks of Hitler being on "the right" - Its fun to ask them why-- which characteristics of the NAZI party do they think the "Right" in America has in common with Hitler, as the "Right" in pre-Nazi Germany wished to reinstate the German Monarchy and throw out the new German constitution , and the right in this the United States wishes preserve ( or conserve) the Republic and Constitution as it was originally agreed to, and the Democrats are the ones who wish to "change" and "modernize it" using extra-constitutional methods that DO NOT preserve the consent of the govern, and in effect allow the President to rule as a King.
Usually the only thing they can come up with is "Nationalism" - to which I reply "If you mean Conservatives love their country more than liberals, then yes, I would agree" - However, if you mean that "Nationalism" means an intolerance towards anyone not towing the party line, and using National Government power to persecute them , that would be Democrats. They usually throw out something about Hitler being Pro Christian Church and Anti-Unions at that point, so you then get to educate them that Hitler closed any church and any Union that did not support the Nazis. He didn't hate or endorse Churches or Unions on principle - He hated anyone not loyal to him. And who were the people loyal to him? They were Socialists. The politics of Hitler's followers were those of Marx, of what is called "the left" in America. - The Nazi's fought with the communists only because they were after the same supporters.
Liberals love to play word games. They always think "getting away" with something is proof of their cleverness and superiority, and mis-using a label like "The right" to label Conservatives in America as the same as the National Socialist Party in Germany makes them feel all manner of smart. Ask them to define their labels - and explain the characteristics and similarities and they fall apart. Same thing with declaring those who want guns to not be "American" - The only thing American about a liberal is their geographic location - if you ask them what it means to be "American" it comes down to agreeing with the Democratic Party and belonging to their neanderthal tribe and following their prehistoric hunter gatherer ethics of tribal preservation. The principles of the Rule of Law, Individual rights, and the consent of the governed are not only foreign to them, but completely beyond their caveman ability to comprehend.
Romney, buy the way, is just as Authoritarian and anti-liberty as Obama. The fact that he would allow RomneyCare to be enacted is proof enough of that. Our hope in electing him lay in being able to pressure him, or bully him if you prefer, into doing the right thing. Something that it is not possible to do with Obama.
The establishment GOP is, by and large, a group of liberals who get themselves elected by paying lip service to conservatives, but who do nothing to impede (and certainly never to push back) the progress of their comrades in the other party. No one who wants to lead should under any circumstances ever be allowed to do it. Power corrupts, and it corrupts those who seek it almost the second they gain it, if not before. The Political class has no integrity and worries only about maintaining their perks, status and position. They are seldom bright or capable- just ambitious, but lacking what they need to be successful in any other field, so they migrate to the low-culpability field of politics.
