There's something wrong with that grapth though... Ron Paul is not even in the libertarian quadrants, and Kucinich is the closest candiate to the center?
No, he's not. Ron Paul is an "economic libertarian", which basically puts him on the "pro-capitalist" side of the equation. When it comes to civil rights, he is marginally authoritarian.
He believes in gay marriage (to the extent that he doesn't believe in state-sanctioned marriage at all), marijuana legalization (both medical and nonmedical!), and leaving abortion to the states.
He might not support civil rights legislation, but how does that make him an AUTHORITARIAN? In this case, regardless of your thoughts on civil rights legislation, you cannot deny the fact that the "authoritarian" position -- i.e., that which impinges on one's freedom to interact on a voluntary basis with other individuals -- is the pro-civil rights one.
