NYC, didn't you blast me in another thread a while back for saying that conservativism is on the rise in the U.S.?
Well thanks for posting positive proof.
If I remember rightly, that thread was about whether people were objectively more conservative today than they were in the past, which I think is distinct from whether people consider themselves more conservative today than they did in the past.
I still don't buy it - I think a lot of people have more diverse views - financially conservative, socially liberal - but what about war activities and so on?
I think it's becoming harder and harder to lump people into one category or another when it concerns such a wide array of views.
I remember hearing about a good test you could take online that would tell you what you were. I forget what talk show host but he said it was a good one and he found out he was much more liberatarian than he ever thought. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I consider myself a Conservative first, Republican second, but I could be wrong.I still don't buy it - I think a lot of people have more diverse views - financially conservative, socially liberal - but what about war activities and so on?

I think Political Compass is what you're referring to:

FWIW, the reason it shows people as more libertarian than they ever thought may be because it's created by a Libertarian group.
