Its kind of a neat idea but the questions are far from perfect.  For instance, on the question that says "Abortion is a womans right" I strongly oppose that, mainly because I don't see it as a "right" in the freedom of speech sense of the word. 

Rocketman

Yeah, the questions are written in such a way that makes libertarians appear (and possibly feel) schizophrenic.  And yet they conclude with a version of the Nolan chart...

A version which places the fascist former mayor of NYC as a "moderate libertarian."   ::)

Doesn't someone who posts here run the NH liberty alliance site?  It might be worth while for them to maybe try working with this site on creating a more balanced quiz.

I would also LOVE to see a local NH version based on our own state reps.

Maybe the NHLA could do something like this, but now I expect they're far too busy with "the bills" and "the hearings."

Priorities...

well freedom of speech is a common right that is an equal right for all individuals.

a person who has the floor in a public forum can not be shouted down by another person and it is a rightful and just use of force to remove the person who is denying the common right to freedom of speech of any individual.

abortion being a right that may infringe on a another person's equal right to life backed by state force, all hinges on when human life (a potential human being) actually becomes a human being (a person deemed worthy of rights protection backed by force).

that is a good idea.... But as Rocketman said..... something for June/July after the session is over.

The media keeps talking up Hagel.... so I am questionable on him.... what has he done beside say he is against the war .... now.

Paul has been standing up for a long time.

Hagel's a member of the CFR. John Birtchian type conspiracy theorists and probably Alex Jones too (I don't know much about them) use that as evidence that he's a one worlder. 

BTW. He's been anti-war at least since early 2005.

Still, I kind of feel like the only reason he's thinking about running again after saying he decided against it last month -- http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2006/12/30/hagel-shrugged/ --
is because he wants to split the anti-war vote with Ron Paul.

How about replacing them with nothing!

They said I was Bill Fritz (Whoever that is.) But when I need to leave half the statements no opinion because they're stupid. . . .
