Political compass
I really don't know how accurate this is, but it's pretty entertaining.

Yeah, the test questions are either too vague, or too specific. I think the reason I tended to lean left was the fact that there's aren't too many questions about abortion, garriage or national security/military.

...so maybe you're all arguing for 'conservative' ideals you don't really believe in?
It's funny to look at the %'s from the second test. Lots of libertarians, lots of centrists, less liberals, and almost no statists or conservatives...hmmm...

MV,
I've never thought of myself as conservative.
This is my perspective (which like opinions are like are like buttholes; everyone's got one and they all stink.)
I feel very deeply for the have-nots.
I consider myself an idealist dreamer in this respect; I believe in socialized institutions such as healthcare, education, welfare.... I say I'm an idealist because while I think that it's a good idea, I can see how it may be possible to institutionalize programs like those because it has been done. I'm specifically referring to Sweden, from what I've read; and to the US Army, which I've been a part of all of my adult life. But I can also see how it would never work in the USA (beyond the level we are already at.)
I guess I would be considered conservative in the fact that my only real political leaning is towards greater public and government support of the military. That and I also empathize with those who suffer tyranny and feel as though the tyrannical must be dealt with by their own medicine and then some. Therefore, my paradigm causes me to be less critical of the administration's military and foreign policies. Don't get me wrong, though. If it were my belief that we could solve problems diplomatically, I would be critical of knee-jerk use of force. However, sometimes use of the military (not necessarily in the door-kicking, blow-****-up role) is an arm of diplomacy.
When I was in Panama in late 1989, one of our missions was specifically called a 'show-of-force' mission. Our job was simply to be seen fulled geared up by the soldiers and leaders of the Panama Defense Force (PDF) in the hopes that they would think to themselves, "Wow, the USA is serious. Maybe we ought to rethink our antagonistic ways." Unfortunately, they didn't get the message, so we quickly made the transition to door-kicking.
