I have always joked that Libertarians were just armed Liberals that didn't like paying taxes. ( there may be some truth in that).

I like that!

I think it's scary what they define as 'conservative' on that site.

"Liberals and libertarians agree in choosing the less-government answers, while conservatives and populists agree in choosing the more-restrictions answers".

If that's what 'conservative' means, then there's a big problem. I believe the *vast* majority of this country, on personal issues, does not want the govt to restrict us. "Personal Freedom" and all that.

If that's what that site means by 'conservative', then i wouldn't agree. That's not how I define it.

I'd argue that 'Liberals' want a 'liberal' use of govt. And conservatives want a 'conservative' use of govt. Like spending 'liberally' v. spending 'conservatively'.

Ls want 'more govt'. Cs want 'less govt'.

So the 'Socials' are very liberal, by that definition. They want govt intrusion into personal areas.

"So the 'Socials' are very liberal, by that definition. They want govt intrusion into personal areas."

You run into problems with that with social issues if those are defined as God, Guns, and Gays, because Conservatives tend to be Christian and want Gov out of that. They don't see abortion as a personal issue because it disregards the child ( and often the father ), and on guns we don't think there should be more restrictions than was intended in the 2nd Amendment.
