Recently I was introduced to Facebook, a "social utility that connects you with the people around you". Quite an impressive thingy that could get one addicted to it... Anyway, as I was about to say before I digressed, when setting up my profile, I was asked what is my political view? Huh? I didn't know how to answer that then....
Well, now I know...I found this interesting and educational quiz here that tells me what is my political view.
The political description that fits me best is... CONSERVATIVE
CONSERVATIVES tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditional values." They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy, and endorse strong law enforcement.
A conservative tends to be for the free market in economic affairs, and against what he calls "big government" -- an excessive federal bureaucracy that intervenes in a wide range of social and economic areas. Conservatives prefer a kind of individualistic self-sufficiency. On social issues conservatives are pro-family, anti-abortion, and in general support traditional moral values and religion. Conservatives usually favor a strong military. -- iAmericanSpirit Political Dictionary
Conservatives generally believe that there exists a transcendent moral order, to which we ought to try to conform the ways of society. Conservatives uphold the principle of social continuity. They prefer the devil they know to the devil they don't know. Order and justice and freedom, they believe, are the artificial products of a long and painful social experience, the results of centuries of trial and reflection and sacrifice. Conservatives are chastened by their principle of imperfectability. Human nature suffers irremediably from certain faults, the conservatives know. Man being imperfect, no perfect social order can ever be created. -- Russell Kirk in The Conservative Mind
Well..., is this good or bad? Or is the quiz accurate or reflective?
