The Political Compass

I come out as quite close to Gandhi and His Holiness The Dalai Lama in the
Left-Libertarian quadrant of the chart.

Deeeeeelightful!

Not surprising at all, since DSH is a True LIBERAL -- NOT one of the phony
American Angry-Left "Liberals".

Time and again you have falsely accused me of being "ultra-rightwing"
etc., etc., etc.; and you have denied and denied being a left-wing
liberal, describing yourself as middle of the road. When I challenged
you to take the test as I did to provide some measure of objective
evidence one way or the other, you had the bad grace to never
acknowledge I had been right all along in describing yourself as a
leftwing liberal and myself as a moderate in the center. Now, here you
are a year later doing exactly as I predicted, virtually pretending it
never happened. Well, it did happen, and you are once more up to your
old false tricks of misrepresenting your opponents in an attempt to
smear them. It aint' going to work. Here is the evidence in your post
from 2005 in which it was revealed you are indeed a real leftwing liberal:

btw, I did another political test which suggested I was a "liberal

http://www.blogthings.com/political-persuasion.html

"When you tell people that you're Republican, they rarely believe you.

That's because you're socially liberal - likely pro-choice and pro-gay
rights.

You're also not so afraid of big goverment, as long as it benefits people
and not politicians.

You are the most likely of any Republican type to swing over to the Democrat
side sometimes."

Like I said, "Now, I suppose your next move is to deny the test has any

anything resembling a warm body is an anarchist and far leftwing
liberal, but I would never presume to pretend it was the least bit
reasonable. Shopping for biased and inaccurate tests is only going to
make your behavior even more atrocious. Why don't you just breakdown and
do the right thing by genuinely apologizing and refraining from denying
the truth of your leftwing leanings and making false accusatons that
we're rightwingers and ultraconservatives.....

Time and again you have falsely accused me of being "ultra-rightwing"
etc., etc., etc.; and you have denied and denied being a left-wing
liberal, describing yourself as middle of the road. When I challenged you
to take the test as I did to provide some measure of objective evidence
one way or the other, you had the bad grace to never acknowledge I had
been right all along in describing yourself as a leftwing liberal and
myself as a moderate in the center. Now, here you are a year later doing
exactly as I predicted, virtually pretending it never happened. Well, it
did happen, and you are once more up to your old false tricks of
misrepresenting your opponents in an attempt to smear them. It aint'
going to work. Here is the evidence in your post from 2005 in which it
was revealed you are indeed a real leftwing liberal:

Like I said, "Now, I suppose your next move is to deny the test has any

anything resembling a warm body is an anarchist and far leftwing liberal,
but I would never presume to pretend it was the least bit reasonable.
Shopping for biased and inaccurate tests is only going to make your
behavior even more atrocious. Why don't you just breakdown and do the
right thing by genuinely apologizing and refraining from denying the truth
of your leftwing leanings and making false accusatons that we're
rightwingers and ultraconservatives.....

I can see it now - Hines turns up for a croquet match with his
croquest pony - tells everyone else that the correct bway to play
