Heh, they called me a Isolationist because I don't care to support subjugating others or the governments who do. I chose all the working together to achieve common goals options that don't include that, but apparently I have to like to see people get pushed around to be anything but an Isolationist to CSM.
 
Well, most people fail to make a distinction between isolationism and non-interventionism
 
With those questions I am liberal.
 
I tried to take the test but found that there was no option I agreed with. It doesn't support my libertarian views.

I didn't care for the options either. They did not reflect my views well.
 
I'm a realist. But you guys already knew that, right? :biggrin:
