Such are the shortcomings of the oversimplistic left-right spectrum. Judging by your description, onwardthroughthefog, you would belong in the lower-right quadrant of the Political Compass, that is, you believe in conservative economic policies but libertarian social policies. Torog has said he is up in the upper-right quadrant, that is, conservative economic policies and authoritarian social policies. I suppose I would be the antithesis of that, being waaaay in the lower left quadrant (liberal economic policies, libertarian social policies) at about -9 on both scales.
