Poly: Conservative Stronghold?

[kentonio]

Center right as in the center of the right authoritarian quadrant or the center of the entire graph? If it's the latter, what the hell are you arguing about? You agree that Obama/Romney don't belong in the high authoritarian area and that the test doesn't support their placement there.

True, I was arguing about other things, and still laughing over the right wingers here all pretending they belong in the centre.

Rhodesia was wealthier per capita than south africa, as I recall.

Err, no?

This is why I wait with baited breath for regs 'history lesson'.

The embedding only works for me if I quote it. That's strange.

Zimbabwe appears to have been at the average level of output for sub-saharan Africa until around 2000, when it collapsed. So I would call Mugabe a failure, but let's not exaggerate.

There are a ton of economic refuges from Zimbabwe in South Africa.

Yes, unfortunately South African gangs started hiding near the border and raping, robbing and murdering refugees as they crossed. Meanwhile numerous South African settlements have launched pogroms against the Zimbabwe immigrants who have settled there in every larger numbers. Very sad times in that part of the world.

BK thinks he's left wing.

Who was it that classified Obama as far right wing?

[Al B. Sure!]

Who was it that classified Obama as far right wing?

The test-makers (but not the test), kentonio, and Ben.

Albert, how hard is it to admit that Obama is to my right? Obama's already started a war without congressional approval, given lots of bucks to his croneys, appointed Czars right and left, passed massively unconstitutional legislation, failed to pass a budget, violated house + senate rules to pass his legislation, threatened to pack the courts with his croneys, defied the law, prosecuted state governments, prosecuted civilians for expressing dissent, the list goes on.

Does that strike you as someone who is particularly fond of liberty?

Obama being to Ben's right is so absurd, it doesn't deserve a retort.

"If you ignore the 12 years of total collapse, he's right up there with the average Sub-Saharan African leader!"

I ended up real close to 0,0 Maybe I'm not that right.

[C0ckney]

rah you have been becoming increasingly pinko as the years go by...

[rah]

but we're supposed to lean farther right as we get older.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'm still the Commie-ist (maybe Newsmax was right )
