Obama is right of center. Please quit referring to him as leftist.

[Article 15]

were did that chart come from?

don't they have to provide LINKS?

It's bs anyway

It's just blowing your conservative mind, isn't it?

There's no mind there to blow.

I'm guessing you have a thing for bad boys.

Dumbest op I've seen in ages.

Best post of the thread. The political labels need to be succinctly defined and then charted. To do otherwise is BS.

Start here: commies = far left. Nazis = far right.

Look the rest up!

Let's stick to the issues and keep our love a secret. Here's a chart showing historical figures.

Thank you.

He is more authoritarian than libertarian. So he is up on the chart and to the right.

You have no clue what you are talking about pal.

There are 2 scales.

Liberal to Conservative

and Authoritarian to Libertarian.

A leftist can be Authoritarian. See the USSR.

Obama is an Authoritarian leftist.

 

[Staidhup]

Thank you.

National Socialism was not a conservative movement, but I grant you this, authoritarian he is.

 

[Paulie]

I just realized a lot of people may not have an idea of where a lot of the argument is coming from. Here's a graph to demonstrate.

Much better. I'd probably put Obama a little closer to the middle of the left/right split - he's not THAT conservative - but this chart definitely lets us see the difference better.

Interestingly, no one sits on the libertarian right.

God forbid there was freedom AND fiscal restraint at the same time ANYWHERE.

Thanks was too lazy to link it myself. It's amazing how people throw out these terms that have never even heard of the political spectrum.

EDIT: Something else you Democrats will love, George W. Bush's dot would be in the almost identitcal spot that Obama's is in.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA




Funniest title ever! Hey, when will Jeremiah Wright be invited back now that he has no more elections to worry about? He can be the true FARRRRRRRR leftist POS he wants now.

 

[blackhawk]

Thank you.

Right of center compared to who? If you think Obama is right of center I shudder over who or what you would consider left of center.

 

[daveman]

Thank you.

There is nothing that precludes authoritarians from being on the left.

Hugo Chavez.

 

[koshergrl]

Thank you.

I can't decide if you meant "liberal" or "librarian".


Either way, that's some funny shit.

 

[koshergrl]

You actually expect these people to have a coherent grasp on politics and reality?

At least we know the difference between "libertarian" and "liberal".

Something that seems to have eluded you, with your "coherent" grasp "on" politics and reality.

Seriously. Dildo.

 

[koshergrl]

Libertarian Party...minimum government, maximum freedom.

Libertarian Party | Maximum Freedom, Minimum Government

 

[Cowman]

Thank you.

What the HELL are you talking about? You clearly think that "libertarian" means liberal....

Authoritarian is far left. Libertarian is far right. Dumbocrats are now Marxist/Socialist/Communist/Nazi's, which puts them at the very end of the left with "authoritarian". Republican is Kennedy-era big government, big spending liberals, putting them half way left of center. Tea Party is dead center, ground zero, constitutional government.

I don't think you fucking know what Authoritarian means. Authoritarianism exists in both right and left groups.

Thank you.

There's nothing particularly "right-wing" about authoritarians. All the left-wingers in this country are authoritarians.

 

[bripat9643]

Anyone who thinks Nazis are "at the very end of the left" is an idiot.

Nope. They are well educated.

Oranges and apples, anyone?
