Who's the most right-wing poster on this message board?

[J-Mann]

I would argue that creating more government is not a conservative idea.  Using Congress to remove the authority of the Court would be.

I suppose it could depend on what you wanted to do with that government.  Putting more power in the hands of the state as FDR sought to do is conservative, just as oligarchies and monarchies are conservative.

HUH?  More power to the states?  By FDR?  What?  The creator of social security?  The guy who had half his laws declared Constitutional because he was nationalizing all control?

THE state - singular - as in a nation.  Some ideas are broader than libertarian US politics.

[Gabu]

So I'm moderate, yes?

Actually, I was just holding off before I could confirm my suspicions of some things that you had said.  You know, stuff like

There should be no income tax and no sales tax.

and

I do not believe any form of taxation to be legal.

and

[Social Security] has become a welfare, and 99% of welfare are for lazy parasitic people.

Oh, and let's not forget

OK here is my idea.  Put executions on pay-per-view and charge say, $50 + service provider fee.  The $50 goes to the government to finance the execution and the trail of the criminal in question.  What is wrong with it?

Shall I continue?

[Richard]

No taxes is hardly enough to make me an extremist.  And the PPV executions thing doesn't fit in the right or left wing ideologies.

How do you fund the government without taxes?

Levies, duties, and interest.

I was joking when I said I was a moderate. Of course I am a right winger and proud of it!

I knew you were!  That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...someone admitting their beliefs and being proud of them!

We kinda figured.  ;-)

Has anybody ever seen my latest political compass scores on the topic with the political compass scores?

[Serenity Now]

Someone should make a scale that includes names of all the regular posters and put them on a right-to-left scale...or perhaps the more complicated diamond scale that includes libertarian and populist quadrants.

I'm making one, it's almost done.

I think republicanjew or Statesrights are furthest as a combination of social and economic, but there are some more authoritarian and economically right than them.

That's the silliest, geekiest, funniest thing I've seen in a while.  Why did you include Star Treck characters but not John Kerry or GW Bush?  Weird. 

[??????????]

Rich, you are to the left of Lincoln. Lincoln should be falling off the right side of that chart. And I am to the right of Ann-baby..

Latest Compass scores

Economic : 6.51

How was Lincoln an anarchist?

How was Lincoln an anarchist?

He wasn't.  He is quite far from the endpoint of the right.

I suppose I'm righter than you, since I am an anarcho-capitalist.

Richius supports the total abolishment of taxes and (hopefully) a lot of other things, given how much smaller an amount of money the government will have following that action.

I support the abolition of government.

[Gabu]

I support the abolition of government.

Okay, you are further right than him, then.

Kinda makes me wonder why you ran for governmental office, though.

Hmm, lets see.  From firstgov.gov

    * Department of Agriculture (USDA) abolish
    * Department of Commerce (DOC)
    * Department of Defense (DOD) abolish
    * Department of Education (ED) abolish
    * Department of Energy (DOE) abolish
    * Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) abolish
    * Department of Homeland Security (DHS) abolish
    * Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) abolish

    * Department of State (DOS)
    * Department of the Interior (DOI) abolish
    * Department of the Treasury
    * Department of Transportation (DOT)
    * Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) abolish

Then create:  Department of War

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Bono wants to abolish the entire government. He's an anarcho-capitalist. He used to have a quote from someone in Somalia in his signature about how life without government is so great.

Ahh, yes, indeed, he will beat everyone here then.  A real anarchist, eh?
