MKW: Political Bloggers
Here's how it works. All bloggers are encouraged to use whatever blogging tool or website they wish. We will use this thread as the common room in a big "blog collaboration", and all the blogs will link to and be linked from this thread. It's sort of like a shared apartment where everyone has their own room, but there is a big common area.
All suggestions and volunteers are welcome, but please consider potential your long-term involvement before jumping in! To start off, we'll probably do just the blogs, but a separate forum or chat would also be interesting in the future.
Potential bloggers are encouraged to check out this quiz and use the results as part of your blogging profile, which I will create in this thread at your discretion and which you should elaborate on in your blog.
The above test is good, but it asks an opinion on many US-specific issues which creates a certain bias. I recommend those interested to take this test as well: The Political Compass. It is more accurate on a general scale and can help temper your results from the first quiz, especially if you don't live in the USA. Thanks to Chigurh for the information on that.
Although we want to be as open as possible, both MichelleHeart and I have expressed a concern in maintaining a good standard of quality. If your blogging is full of poor grammar and unsupported, silly claims, we may deny you admission or remove you from the group by majority vote.
The only thing required of our bloggers is that they link back to this thread, preferably using the banner at the top of the page or the smaller banner/sig at the bottom of the page.

My Political Compass
I hope that explains why I consider myself a traditional conservative. I am nowhere near the leftist social libertarians. I'm more of a Ron Paul flavor libertarian, which is classic conservatism at its best. If I'm not, that's where I stand anyway.

I am fiscally conservative, but socially liberal. My general policy for everything is do whatever you want, as long as you don't infringe upon others' rights and you keep your hands out of my wallet.

I am a center-left social libertarian.
Left: 2.03, Libertarian: 5.87
I'm more about less social barriers between people and globalization than anything, since it impacts the world most obviously. I'm a pretty firm non-interventionalist and cultural liberal. Not so much hippy as freedom of expression.

I am a center-left moderate social authoritarian.
Left: 1.87, Authoritarian: 2.58
I'm neutral for a lot of topics. I don't really point towards a certain type of group. e.g. Democrats, republican. However a lot of my thoughts come from different parties.

My primary concerns are to raise the standard of living for everyone. I believe everyone should have equal opportunity of life, right across the globe and my policies represent that. My primary objective is to reduce suffering across the planet for both humans and animals.
