For your consideration: Chart graphs differences between left versus right.

http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/leftvright_US.html (too big to show here)

I'm sure right wingers would say that this chart had a 'liberal bias' but it seems as good as anyone could make such a thing.

I could only IMAGINE how your typical Fox viewer would paint this picture.

The thing which I found most interesting are the sections in the middle esp the Family to the Adult parts.

2. Interesting.

I do fail to see how 'tough love' based on 'fear' builds 'character'. It seems to paint a rosy picture of the authoritarian parent. But it does have the judgmental, rigid, likes violence parts right on.

3. "Tax & Spend" vs. "Don't tax & spend"

Why not "Deficit spend into oblivion" vs. "don't deficit spend into oblivion"?

Simplistic and stereotypical.

4. Right has "Helps those who help themselves" checked

I think I would disagree. Lots of people that are trying to help themselves that the jackboot is crushing.
