It's Right-wing Eye for the Liberal Guy

[menace]

hey those are pretty good--the right wing freaked me out if those quotes are true

I consider myself conservative-leaning on many issues, but the right-wing nuts {Beavis voice: "heh, wing nuts!"} shown in that ditty are extreme.  I have never taken seriously a word uttered by any of them.

[shmokes]

Those are all direct, accurate quotes.  An organization as large and legitimate as Planned Parenthood would get their pants sued off if they published false quotes.

And, like it or not, those men represent the mainstream face and dogma of the Republican party.  Democrats and Republicans are not as far apart, policy-wise, as many people believe.  If what these men say repulses you, I highly suspect that your beliefs actually fall more in line with Democratic ideals rather than Republican ones.  Most Democrats lean conservatively on the overall political spectrum, both socially and economically.  John Kerry certainly does -- in fact, Kucinich and Sharpton were the only Democratic candidates in the primaries who can rightly be called liberal.  True liberals are usually Libertarian or Green party.

Go take the short, educational and most importantly entertaining test at www.politicalcompass.org

It may tell you some surprising and interesting things about yourself.  I think most will agree that the test gives accurate, honest results and that the University that created it is not advancing any agenda.  It's good stuff, really.

[Santoro]

I drafted a long reply to this but ulitmately decided it was way too political for here, and off-topic as well.

Long story short, I don't fit into a mold.  Depending on the issue, I lean right sometimes and left sometimes.   It's not so easy to peg me with any one party.

If you want we can continue this in a new 'everything else thread' about politcal leanings...

6 pages of political questions, now that's great entertainment!

I got halfway through page two and remembered I had to stare at the second hand on the office clock till 6.

Well...it's not as though they're essay questions.  And the entertainment, much like an IQ test, is largely associated with the information you gain about yourself at the end of the test.

Considering it takes all of five minutes to get through all six pages of questions, I think the investment of time on the test taker's part is pretty minimal  

After it maps you on the political spectrum, separately for social and economic policy, it shows you where you stand compared with other figures, both modern, such as George W. Bush, and Historical, such as Churchhill and Hitler.

Obviously it will not be entertaining for everyone.  What is?  Certainly not MAME, but I don't think it would be incorrect to refer to MAME as "entertaining"

I agree this is not where it belongs.  But to say that Kerry is not a liberal is high humor for me.

He is rated to the left of Ted Kennedy for God's sake.  Voted against Abrams(A tank that allows us to shoot at any other tank in the world out of range of the enemy tank), voted against pay raises for the military, voted against the Tomahawk, Predator and other military items.  Those that make our military the best in the world.

Once said that our military should be under UN control only.  

By the way, which party had a self-avowed Anti-Semite invited to their candidate Debates?  Democrats, Al Sharpton.

I took the test and it told me I was a left-wing liberetarian

Please don't mistake pacifism for liberalism.


Oh, and I scored right smack dab in the middle of the Left/libertarian quadrant for those keeping score at home.


Now for a wacky idea..  Lets combine this thread with the IQ thread and see if there's a correlation between intelligence and political leaning.  That won't create any flame wars!  *Removes tongue from cheek*

[PacManFan]

My guess is that all the room tempreture IQ's will be on the upper right, right wing conservatives.

So hey, are we donna drop the political mumbo-jumbo and get back to laughing at racist flash cartoons like "The Singhsons"?

It's from an East Indian website MADE by East Indians. I figure if they can find humour in it, I'm allowed to as well. How far right did you say your score was?
