Conservative/Progressive score: 5
You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is overall well meaning, but sometimes it goes too far. On issues like abortion and affirmative action, you see the negatives of both extremes on the issue. You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government
Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 3
You're a Capitalist Purist. You believe that the market should be completely free, and that the invisible hand of the market will make sure that the people get what they want and will do it in the most efficient way possible. You believe in small government, less taxes, and more privatization.
Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 2
You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.
Pacifist/Militarist score: 3
You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.
Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Libertarian
The Quiz
1. Are our gun control laws too strict?
Maybe/Don't Care. I support a plainer reading of the 2nd amendment, which won't let the Feds regulate arms at all but places no such limits on states and localities.
2. Should gay marriage be legalized?
Maybe/Don't Care. I'd lean more towards the disestablishment of civil marriage and all its legal benefits.
3. Should we consider invading Iran?
No.
4. Should intelligent design be taught in public schools alongside evolution?
Maybe/Don't Care. They should be open about problems with evolution and allow discussion of other theories, but a lot of creationist theories just suck and may contradict both the bible and science.
5. Does the US need a system of universal health care?
No.
6. Should marijuana be legalized?
Yes.
7. Should we repeal [or substantially change] the Patriot Act?
Yes/Maybe/Don't Care
8. Does the US have a right to stop countries we do not trust from getting weapons?
No/Maybe/Don't Care
9. Should we end (or reduce the use of) the death penalty?
Maybe/Don't Care. I'd support a quick, cheap death penalty. It must never costs more than life in prison. Punishment needs to closely follow the crime if it is to be an effective deterrence. I say any execution not carried out within 3 years of sentencing should result in it being automatically commuted.
10. Should there be a higher minimum wage?
Maybe/Don't Care. I'd accept a higher minimum wage to go along with disincentivizing employer based healthcare insurance and leaving individuals to buy their own. I might consider taxes based on the disparity between a company's highest and lowest earners.
11. Does affirmative action do more harm than good?
Yes/Maybe/Don't Care
12. Is the United States spending too much money on defense?
Yes.
13. Should embryonic stem cell research be funded by the government?
No.
14. Should flag burning be legal?
Yes.
15. Should all people (rich and poor) pay fewer taxes?
Maybe. I don't care about the level of taxation nearly as much as the nature of the taxes. Payroll taxes are an abomination. The Fair Tax would be an improvement, but I still have some reservations about it. A highly progressive estate tax is good. In general I'd aim for making taxes as Pigouvian as possible.
16. Should the US begin withdrawing from Iraq?
Yes.
17. Is it sometimes justified to wiretap US citizens without a warrant?
Maybe. If it said without warrant then no, but I don't think the paperwork matters so much as the justification.
18. Should the government be involved in reducing the amount of violence/pornography in tv/movies/games/etc?
No.
19. Should the United States only start a war if there is an imminent threat of being attacked ourselves?
Maybe. An imminent threat to close allies would work too.
20. Should stopping illegal immigration be one of our top priorities?
No. Actually yes, but it should be done by making all immigration legal, and I suspect that a yes answer would have been misconstrued.
21. Is outsourcing of American jobs justified if it allows for cheaper goods?
Yes, but there ought to be tariffs based on the negative environmental and human rights externalities.
22. Are all abortions unethical? [with the exception of risk to mother's health]
Yes.
23. Should social security be privatized?
Maybe/Don't Care.
24. Should the United States ever go to war even if the UN is against it?
Yes. The UN is worthless, and international popularity is irrelevent to how just a war is. Wars ought alwasy have formal declarations by Congress.
Which Candidate is most similar to you?

You are a social progressive. You generally consider yourself a humanist first. You probably think that religion and patriotism go too far in society. You probably consider yourself to be a citizen of Earth first rather than a citizen of your country.
Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 12
You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.

Honestly, I don't think much of that quiz. Whether the results are accurate or not. Not nearly detailed enough nor long enough.
