Just re-establishing my lefty cred -- as if I really cared about those things:

The Moral Politics Test

Your Score

You scored -3 on the Moral Order axis and 3 on the Moral Rules axis.

Matches

The following items best match your score:

1. System: Socialism
2. Variation: Moderate Socialism
3. Ideologies: Social Democratism
4. US Parties: No match.
5. Presidents: Jimmy Carter (86.02%)
6. 2004 Election Candidates: Ralph Nader (84.07%), John Kerry (77.90%), George W. Bush (50.00%) (What, no Greens?  No Kucinich?  Laaaaaame.)

Statistics

Of the 48853 people who took the test:

1. 0.7% had the same score as you.
2. 7.2% were above you on the chart.
3. 89% were below you on the chart.
4. 71.6% were to your right on the chart.
5. 20.5% were to your left on the chart.

Others

1. Want to understand more what this all means? Then start with the Overview and step through the pages by clicking Next.
2. For President and Candidates, the percentage measures the distance between you and them where 100% is a perfect overlap and 0% is the longest possible distance.
3. If you overlap two regions, they are both listed. So if you see both Liberalism and Conservatism, you are a "perfect" Centrist.

c/o yami.  (It's worth looking at the page with the distribution of recent Presidents.  Carter is on the edge of my region -- no surprise, I've always admired the man -- and guess who is my complete opposite?  Hint:  It's a four-letter word starting with "B.")

Am I a political blogger now?  No?  Well, what a limiting definition of political.  (Yes, it's that time again in the blogosphere when complacent male poli-bloggers try to blame their lack of awareness about women bloggers on those bloggers' not being as nifty keen as themselves while simultaneously preening themselves for being so noble and aware of gender discrimination.  No, I'm not going to link to the guy in question.  He doesn't need the hits -- or maybe he does, and that's why he wrote such a post, despite having his clueless a-- handed to him about a year ago for doing the same damned thing.)

It's so fashionable to denigrate the 1970s, but ten minutes in the 1970s would have permanently disabused people like the moron in question of the notion that his thought process on the issue was anything but specious.

Cool. We're in the same .7 percent...or maybe that's not as cool as being as "upper left" and being in greater company...

Wow! I am even further out there, according to this. -5.5 and 4. Interesting...
