Politics & Government - 23 February 2007

The test puts you in one of four categories:
1. Authoritarian Left
2. Authoritarian Right
3. Libertarian Left
4. Libertarian Right
http://www.politicalcompass.org/
You don't have to explain to me that your political views can't be pigeonholed into four categories. I already know that. I'm just interested in getting some idea of your political views. Please take the test, and then tell me in which of the four categories you fall into. I will give you my category in about two hours. Have fun, and thanks for your participation.

and Pakistan is not comprehensive for me at all.
While Saudi Arabia had a major role in 911 catastrophe , infact, 11 of 15 of 911 highjackers have been sponsored by this country, Iranian residents were among the few Muslim countries that hold demonstration on 9 11.
Secondly , polls is indicative of the fact that most Saudis are hostile toward Americans 11 in contrast with Iranians who are proAmericans .
In my country , more freedom have been given to women compare to other Muslim counties in middle east , women are allowed to drive , vote and run for office and 65 % of Iran university are women to the sharp contrast with country Saudi Arabia that in their country women have been deprived from the very basic rights of a human being.
Saudi Arabia helped finance the Taliban. Saudi Arabia private charities help sustain Al Qaeda as well and 90 % of American troops casualties has been caused by Sunni insurgencies financed and backed by Saudi Arbia and Pakistan. I do not deny my government interference in Iraq and though, I would not support their doings in Iraq that has been largely exaggerated by Bush and friends, I would understand their reasons that why they desire this time to have a more friendlier regime in Iraq and that why they strongly desire not have to struggle with another hostile regime like Saddam backed by U.S once more . In total , I think , American neocons are not searching for peace and stability in middle east but quite on the contrary they strongly support terrorism and extremism and their support of the two countries of Saudi and Pakistan is well indicative of this fact.
My question is that why should not Iran with more democrat government and pro American people have the support of USA instead of Saudi Arabia whose people are extremely hostile towards Americans ?
About Nuclear power, Iran is not developing nuclear weaponry unlike Pakistan with people whose 90 % of suicide bombers have been financed and supported by them.About Nuclear power, Iran is not developing nuclear weaponry unlike Pakistan with people whose 90 % of suicide bombers have been financed and supported by them.
Iran has the second largest population of Jews after Israel unlike countries like Saudi Arabia whose government do not allow religion diversity

For years people have been trying to conquer the world. Many have tried and failed. The British tried something a little different, through colonialism and established their "commonwealth" but I can't say they are a superpower today. Now the American government seems to by attempting the same thing through economic means, and more recently establishing American army bases throughout the world. These days, they have taken to deposing "un-American" governments and replacing them with governments they can manipulate. Will this combination of tactics allow the US to keep its place as the sole world superpower, or is it just a matter of time......

So I'm applying to two LE agencies, and need some quick tips on the polygraph. I know it's a bunch of BS and its possible to pass it even if you've lied in all the questions.. not that I am going to lie, but I get really nervous in situations like these. Anything that worked for you guys when you were nervous? Don't tell me to relax.. I mean it's easier said than done. I need something that will keep me neutral throughout the whole thing.

Thanks

Why the myth about Clinton having Osama on a silver platter? Are they that unaware of world politics? Is the 9-11 timeline that confusing?

Don't they know that Clinton tried passing terror measures, but it was the GOP congress obsessed with his sex life, and did not pass his legislation. (1998)

He was also criticized by a former Reagan aide as being "too obsessed with Osama"

Why do they forget that Bush neglected Osama and Terrorism in general in 2001?

If they continue their foolishness after considering, and comprehending these indisputable facts, maybe they can answer this:

If Clinton was so Bad, why didn't the GOP congress step up? Why didn't Bush step up? Why was Bush on vacation 30% of the time?
Why did Bush completely drop the Ball on Terror?

Also why did he attack Iraq when he knew it was not a threat? As the evidence now shows.

When you troll through the answers tonight and see facts smacking down the fictions the psuedo conservatives of this country are living with. I have observed about 25 posts that interested me & virtually every time liberals presented factual and/or logically reasoned out thoughts and facts (most of the facts are commonly known UNLESS you've limited your knowledge of events to wing nut shows and The Faux Spews Network) that were almost always answered with talking points from the far right media instead of thier own thought out, well researched answers or with just plain frustrated anger.

Should we not have some standardized test that you should need to pass . Just basics ;addition ,subtraction ,multiplication ,division reading and some basic science .
Seems that some people we have elected have forgotten these things ,never learned them or we would not be up to our collective eyeballs in debit .
Our leader should know more then just the right people to make deals with to get elected . They should actually have to balance a budget .
They should be able to make projections of the future wealth and health of this nation .
They should insure that anyone working forty hours makes a wage that can support Themselves ,without the aide of others ,in a safe environment . Not some 12 dollar a night flea bag motel that is filled with criminals .
On 10 dollars an hour it can not be done .rent is 700 utilities are another 100 minimum food is 100 car insurance is 200 car 189 and what about clothes and an evening out .

Something is wrong in america .
Anyone with a brain can see it

My mom asked me today why I want to join the army when I get older and I said I see it like this basically, I said freedom isnt free so I want to do my part in securing it, its a challenge in the constant struggle of life, a way to be all I can be, a huge selfless sacrifice, puts life in perspective knowing you could die (just like how when foreigners come to america from an opressive country they appreciate the freedom so much more) having your life on the line helps you to appreciate life more, I said also that personally its a challenge, the conflict of good and evil, you really live. What do you think? Why did you join?
