This is a good graphic representation of the political ‘spectrum’.

There is a silly test you can take to see where you fall on this chart, nolanchart.com Although it isn’t a fair test. I fell just on the Libertarian side of the line between it and Conservative. I have a feeling the guy who made this was Libertarian. Just take the survey (test) and you’ll know what I mean.

Or take this as an example, one of four choices:

Government involvement is necessary where private industry can’t do the job all by itself. As an example, agricultural subsidies should continue to support small farmers.

I totally agree that it’s the Federal government’s job to do the things private industry CAN’T do. But ffs – subsidizing small farms isn’t an example of this at all! Try interstate highways, national reserve (money and oil) standing army…
