If you are unable to comprehend this it, is on you not I.
Your ignorance and stupidity has you imagining that others think of a political spectrum as static.

I vote that the founding fathers had no conception of the complexities of government today

By the beard of the profit, you need to be a bit more sober before you post things like this.
I might agree with you, I usually do, but I can't figure out what you are doing here
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."Hey Mr. Fitnah
Are you saying that it is impossible to be a rightwinger and an authoritarian?
Or are you only looking at economic freedom, and not social freedom?
If it is economic freedom, Libertarianism and conservativism is the same.
If it is social freedom, conservative is a bit authoritarian, Libertarian is the oppoite of authoritarian.
Finally, at the end of the of both economic and social freedom is Anarchy--because there are no rules in anarchy. Anarchy and totaloppression is not preferred by any civilization Moderation is best!
Yep! As if they had some insight into dealing international credit crises, immigration, rising CO2 levels, oil spills, balance of trade, and terrorismI vote that the founding fathers had no conception of the complexities of government today

It's pretty clear to me.
The real spectrum is Totalitarianism vs. Liberty, not the faux version of two flavors of Totalitarianism at each end.
Ah, with the graphic it makes more sense.
The spectrum is not between tweedledum and tweedledumber, but from freedom to slavery. Labels are irrelevant, reality is what counts. People who want to wear the jackboot standing on their neighbor's neck vs those who respect their neighbor's rights as well as their own responsibilities.
I can agree to that.
With this line you cant play political pot and kettle games, you are either moving towards oppression and tyranny or liberty,
I can see why it isnt used.
Well, see, here's the problem.
Conservatism does in fact promote economic freedom, but it does not promote social freedom.
Liberalism promotes social freedom, but does not promote economic freedom.
So, your chart needs another dimension, an x,y axis.
Like this:
This is known as the "Nolan Chart", and is much more accurate.
Note that it's creator, David Nolan, was a staunch Libertarian.

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
Benjamin Franklin
"Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition."
Thomas Jefferson
Liberty without virtue would be no blessing to us."
Benjamin Rush
I do not wish to take advantage of anyone, I prefer to work with my family to provide for our needs and wants.
I do not require the government to take from others because I am unwilling to do for myself.
I see the government as a source of equal protection under the law, not the source of equal stuff as everyone else has.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
John Adams
