I'm not sure I trust the "personal responsibility" score. I truly believe you are the only one responsible for you and can't blame anyone else for your hardships or fuck ups. I'm not even sure which questions were used to gauge that category...

Maybe I don't even know who I am anymore!

Maybe you should go back to the Huffington Post where your rancid blathering is accepted.

My choices are what I decide so stop imposing the process you use to make decisions on me. I don't think like you and no matter how hard you try I'll NEVER think like you.

See one of the problems is that everything is gray to liberal, that is because they are in the business of removing the differences between right and wrong, truth and lies, moral and immoral.

Obama is a marxist, Nixon was no marxist and Eisenhower would not be called a commie either. JFK would be shunned by today's liberal, that is a true statement.

Wrong - see proof....

the 1956 Republican Party platform that would be deemed commie pinko by today's Republicans. Like this one:

We are proud of and shall continue our far-reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs--expansion of social security--broadened coverage in unemployment insurance --improved housing--and better health protection for all our people.
How about the environment:

We favor a comprehensive study of the effect upon wildlife of the drainage of our wetlands.
We recognize the need for maintaining isolated wilderness areas.

Or regulation of business:

A continuously vigorous enforcement of anti-trust laws
Legislation to enable closer Federal scrutiny of mergers which have a significant or potential monopolistic connotations;

Procedural changes in the antitrust laws to facilitate their enforcement.

Or how about this communist rhetoric?

Stimulate improved job safety of our workers, through assistance to the States, employees and employers;
Continue and further perfect its programs of assistance to the millions of workers with special employment problems, such as older workers, handicapped workers, members of minority groups, and migratory workers;

Strengthen and improve the Federal-State Employment Service and improve the effectiveness of the unemployment insurance system;...

Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of Sex;

Clarify and strengthen the eight-hour laws for the benefit of workers who are subject to federal wage standards on Federal and Federally-assisted construction, and maintain and continue the vigorous administration of the Federal prevailing minimum wage law for public supply contracts;

Extend the protection of the Federal minimum wage laws to as many more workers as is possible and practicable;

Continue to fight for the elimination of discrimination in employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry or sex;

Provide assistance to improve the economic conditions of areas faced with persistent and substantial unemployment;

Revise and improve the Taft-Hartley Act so as to protect more effectively the rights of labor unions, management, the individual worker, and the public.

Wow that's interesting. Definitely the Republican party before the neo-liberals took over. I do consider myself a conservative, but the two parties have taken everything to the extreme. That quiz seemed a little more libertarian vs. statist than con vs. lib.

People here are a lot more left leaning than I'd have guessed. Interesting.

On some questions, I think it depended on the specific case.

I am interested to hear what you mean by Neo Liberal. If you don't want to crap up the board either start a new thread or PM me. Reason being that word means different things depending on who you talk to. Like Neo-liberalism in europe refers to free market conservatives. Liberal meaning no rules on trade.

Moving right along, let's try not to derail THIS thread too. Seems like as soon as a debate with Nynco starts, the thread it toast.

Next test taker please....?

You know Ranger if your going to pick on me, choose a topic that makes sense. Criticizing me for something you don't agree with rather than something we can agree. As to me messing up a thread, well its a free country. You want to live in only right wing land where every sings the same tune in the choir, go to "storm front" or something. Other people write me to tell me they appreciate me as a breath of fresh air around here.
