With just over 4,000 responses in a few days, it's clear that the rest of the world doesn't thing the same way as the United States; at least when it comes to politics. Overall, visitors other countries overwhelmingly selected "my views are a combination of all political dogma" and Green

proof reading by literate adults would help.

maybe you should conduct a poll on literacy first,
just so you know that the people responding in
a certain way really understand what they are doing.

American conservatism is different than the other nations conservatism. Other nations conservatism is more in line w their heritage or some monarchy. American conservatism follows the founding fathers ideal of limited government. Other countries don't have this history which is the reason for the discrepancy n different views.

Well I'm surprised that the anarchists performed so high, possibly because libertarians are that much more vocal.
It's nice to see that the social-darwinist viewpoint that holds so much mediatic weight today actually still has an almost equal number of social anarchist opponents.

It underscores what I've said before to people from other nations when they say we in the US should be more like them - Our ancestors came here because they didn't want to be more like you. This poll sort of reflects it.

What? LOL you should read up on your own history. Who were the first people coming to America's? First warriors and land snatching Euro murderers, then Euro sailors and prostitutes on board. Later on Euro criminals and slaves both obligated to go..and in the mean time adventurous people searching for new lives/new horizons. These are the facts, not trying to offend you but hey ..

I voted - mix of all political dogma of course. You hear a case, you think about it and then you form an opinion not the other way around.

Sounds pretty similar to my ideals. It's how we roll in the country. Libertarian is about the closest I get to being politically classified.

This poll just proves how chickens**t Republicans really are. This is a hardcore right wing site. The main posters are hardcore right wing. Look at the threads, defending everything Republican, destroy everything Democrat.

You have 5 or 6 posters that supply pretty much everything, I could name names, but oh no, for some reason that's against the rules. It's like not being able to talk about your hourly wage at work, you'll realize what massive B.S. it all is.

Jesus Christ people, this is an anonymous site, you all thrive on that with all your rhetoric and condemnation of the poor person and adulation and Godlike worship of the rich. At least have the courage to stand by your anonymous convictions

Surprises me not at all the poll shows Americans the most favorable to being nurse-maided. They love being governed. I left the US not after seeing it lose much of its love of freedom and independence - I was prepared to stay with it and fight the good fight to regain our liberty - I left after seeing that the American people are quite happy being micro-managed and macro-governed with many asking for even stricter and more intrusive laws and governance. I didn't want to go against the grain and against what the majority craves, so ¡Adios! and luck be with you. All my best wishes.

I was a little surprised Canada prefers anarchy but I am with them on that. Oh Canada! Maybe that is where my heart really is, but dang it's cold up there.
