If you don't agree totally, then you are labeled a liberal.

It's because they're still part Neanderthal, or some gene variant of the human species from long long ago. They can't understand anybody that doesn't view the world in absolutes. All joking aside, that is exactly their problem. They actually like liberals more than people like yourself because liberals help define who they are. They need libs, and vice versa. Decent, rational, empathetic and analytical people natural fall towards the medians. Because they see life not as a series of absolutes but of a progression of various shades that must be analyzed each on their own, not lumped together in some pre rendered boiler plated shit soup of simpletonics <------completely made that word up just now.

Nope, but you are somewhat conflicted - 60 dems?

I'm sure I was 0 dems.......

Mostly insignificant social issues such as abortion or gay marriage. I am not a very religious person so I have no confliction with either, however I would personally never abort a child of mine.. and gay people can do gay things on their own time. Doesn't affect me.

anyways, that would be my guess.

Being so far to the right, wouldn't you see yourself as a bit of a rightist radical?

blowe

Found my results.

Looking into this further it seems like a bit of a sham.

I want term limits and that is pro dem

Requiring labeling of gmo food.. dem

Pro death penalty...... dem

being in favor of leaving the word god on currency and federal buildings.. dem

All these things apparently make me pro dem.

There are a lot of similar examples. Too much to list

calfoxwc

Yeah, those examples are making the "test" look invalid.

But ...

Being so far to the right, wouldn't you see yourself as a bit of a rightist radical? Blowe

Not radical.

a radical change in the policy of a company.

I'm also all about tradition, and our Constitution - status quo. Not radical.

radical ideas; radical and anarchistic ideologues.

Nope, not me - I love America the way it is.

4.

Our Constitution was "radical" at the time. But it was a global historical

brilliant point guaranteeing freedom for all CITIZENS of our country. Doesn't

exist anywhere else in the entire world. Too bad for the rest of the world.

Again, you miss the point, Chris.

**********************************

Definition of FUNDAMENTALISM

1

a often capitalized : a movement in 20th century Protestantism emphasizing the literally interpreted Bible as fundamental to Christian life and teaching

Nope. We don't go to church. And, I believe there are many allegories in the Bible. You have to excel at the

Original Hebrew and Greek to ascertain where they are. Not fundamentalist.

b : the beliefs of this movement

c : adherence to such beliefs

2

: a movement or attitude stressing strict and literal adherence to a set of basic principles <Islamic fundamentalism> <political fundamentalism>

Not in any way - which reminds me that Osiris went into silent mode when I asked him about

verses in the koran that say really bad, dangerous stuff, and why it wasn't valid for terrorist Islamists

to go by thoes literal verses. I'm not sure what to make of that.

calfoxwc

So, there ya go - Chris demonstrated that liberals misuse words to the most politically expedient end, in fits

of emotional manipulation.

gftChris

Wow, what is up with people on this board today, serious case of 'wrong side of bed' syndrome?!

calfoxwc

Oh, shut up.

I see your point. looks like I misused radical in a drunken haze of vodka. What I meant was you're 100% partisan with no wiggle room to work with anyone elses beliefs on the left. That's fine. Most of the left fucked.

Sure?

I'd imagine less so than others on here

Westside Steve

I do think positions overlap greatly between all of the categories listed, even Democrat and Republican. I agreed with a few that would traditionally be considered liberal or Democrat but my ranking of importance on the issues was at the very bottom.
