Inconsistant? Industry, religious groups, the military, and the lower middle class are the most conservative aspects of American society...

You do realize that even you, as a libertarian (and I should note, a personally religious libertarian), you are far closer to me politically than to the liberals and socialists...

Sava:
Lower middle class does include urbanites... and polls consistantly show black urbanites especially are consistantly pro-life, in favour of school prayer, etc. They vote Democrat primarily because of the Democratic racial policies that are supposedly in favour of blacks. I do not know why white urbanites would vote Democrat, however, nor do I consider there is a notably difference among Democratic and Republican voters in cities. In the last mayoral election, for example, democratic John Street won but with only 51% of the vote... that is not a dramatic enough victory for someone to declare even Philadelphia a democratic city.
But lower middle class would also include, for example, Southernors in small towns, trailer parks, and farms, who are undoubtedly conservative.

Stefu: Not... quite. It'll be a communitarian-libertarian-radical triangle, which means US liberals, US Conservatives and Commies all will end up in positions that are half-way between two extremes. I hope. 
The questions will not be trick questions this time, but pretty straight-forward analysis questions with as many answers as I can think of.
Example: Do you believe positive discrimination ("affirmative action") is justified in order to increase the appointment of minorities to academic positions? Pick the one that's most like your position.
a) Yes, in order to increase the amount of power of those groups in society (2 pts. Radical)
b) Yes, but only to compensate them against discrimination and protect their individual rights (1 pt. Radical, 1 pt. Libertarian)
c) No, because I believe it will be counterproductive in increasing their standing in society, although that is an ultimate aim (1 pt. Radical)
d) No, because I do not believe in state intervention in the lives of individuals (2 pts. Libertarian)
e) No, because I do not think minorities should recive more power (2 pts. Communitarian)
f) No, because I believe only the most competent people should be selected for the job (1 pt. Communitarian)
g) Only if it is a public institution. I do not think the state should intervene in the running of civil society. (1 pt. Libertarian)
or something like that.

Market Liberal
Anarcho-capitalist
Libertarian Conservative (WTF does this mean? The two are complete opposites from an American viewpoint)
Social Liberal
Christian Democrat
Social Democrat
Third Way
Fascist
Ecologist/Green
Classical Socialist
Anarcho-communist
Communist
About as expected, given that Libertarianism really doesn't seem to exist in Europe.

David Floyd:
Liberal Conservative is what the United States would be considered to many Europeans... meaning liberal economically (as in capitalist) and conservative socially (as in freedoms rather than rights to things such as healthcare [and also meaning that we as a nation are generally against abortion on demand and drug legalization which is very conservative compared to nations such as Netherlands])
makes sense?
thanks
