it's a joke

it's made up so the results mean nothing.

I'm just glad I did not find

I'm just glad I did not find out that I am a neo-conservative. Although I still really do not understand what a neo-conservative is. From what I gather on this site is: Rush Limbaugh and people like him are neo-cons but I love listening to them. Maybe I'm just "weird" becuase I also like Alex Jones, Lew Rockwell and Howard Stern.

Very Interesting....

Mine turned out to be almost exclusively Paleo-Libertarian, followed by Paleo-Con, then Lib, Left Lib, and a tiny bit of Radical.

A couple of years ago, I didn't know anything about politics but since discovering Ron Paul and this board, I've learned a lot and now have very strong opinions on how the government should be run.

Thanks guys!

I got labelled as a paleo-libertarian

I think that there might be an error with the quiz...

Paleo-libertarian – Similar to other libertarians except for oppostion to mass immigration, and shares the paleocon appreciation of the South.

I put for question 2 (Should immigration into the US be greatly reduced?) no with high priority.

So, that's weird that I put the opposite answer to the key paleo question...and got labelled a paleo...

------------

Paleolibertarianism is a school of thought within American libertarianism formerly associated with Lew Rockwell and the late economist Murray Rothbard, and the Ludwig von Mises Institute. It is based on a combination of radical libertarianism in politics and cultural conservatism in social thought. Austrian economics, anti-federalism, Misesian libertarianism, and anarcho-capitalism heavily influenced the movement's attitudes toward ideas on trade, commerce and statecraft.

I know what it is...

The reason I posted is that I picked the anti PL answer on the key question (immigration) that separates PL's from normal libertarians.
So like I said, I think there is an error in the quiz.

I've seen this before

on DP...with everyone giving their scores...interesting
I've taken it several times and each time I'm almost dead center of the 4 squares...(small leaning to libertarian right)...apparently I'm not an extremist anything. LOL

Libertarian

Followed by left-libertarian

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering how other DP'ers responded to the state-level restrictions of obscenity and cocaine.

Those questions seemed fuzzy to me because of the wording.

I voted yes, with the bar slid high.

My belief is that each individual state should have the right to vote, by their own populace, if they are for or against enforcing laws regarding issues such as those. I would never suggest that government regulate anything without a public vote within the state, and would only justify voting if the situation could directly (not in some roundabout manner) lead to the infringement on the rights of others. Obviously something which is voted in could be voted out at a later date, if the public so wished.

Thanks for the response

I'm always curious in how Paul supporters feel about state issues- how much wiggle room they give the state and local governments in regard to regulation.

I fall into the category of...

I fall into the category of...

majority paleo-libertarian, with some paleo-conservative leaning.

I'm a paleo-libertarian

followed by a paleo-conservative.

Funny, I didn't know I had that much paleo in me...

Ron Paul 2012 for Peace

I'm a "Radical Paleo-Libertarian"

I like the ring of that.

I am a paleo-conservative, followed closely by

a paleo-libertarian according to that quiz...

Same here

I don't know what to think of that label, since "paleo" means ancient, early, prehistoric, primitive....

Its not a bad thing... :-)

From wiki-
Paleolibertarianism is a school of thought within American libertarianism formerly associated with Lew Rockwell and the late economist Murray Rothbard, and the Ludwig von Mises Institute. It is based on a combination of radical libertarianism in politics and cultural conservatism in social thought. Austrian economics, anti-federalism, Misesian libertarianism, and anarcho-capitalism heavily influenced the movement's attitudes toward ideas on trade, commerce and statecraft.

Paleoconservatism (sometimes shortened to paleo or paleocon when the context is clear) is a term for an anti-communist and anti-authoritarian right-wing movement in the United States that stresses tradition, civil society and anti-federalism, along with familial, religious, regional, national and Western identity. Chilton Williamson, Jr. describes paleoconservatism as "the expression of rootedness: a sense of place and of history, a sense of self derived from forebears, kin, and culture — an identity that is both collective and personal.” Paleoconservativism is not expressed as an ideology and its adherents do not necessarily subscribe to any one party line.

Ya, I know

I'm proud of it, but it almost sounds like I'm a caveman now, just because I don't need the government's help in running my life and making my decisions.
