I scored a 56/400 - Very Conservative



Sorry George Soros, I'm not one of your useful idiots.



40 questions.





http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2009/03/progressive_quiz.html



For some reason I can't get this link cold??? It doesn't matter anyway, it's not a pole.



For as long as I spend screwing with this link, this post might be a dupe.

Interesting.

127/400 = very conservative.  I'm a libertarian, not a conservative.

ETA: I came up from the basement and had my liberal obama-loving mom take it and she got a 247

I'm about 85% progressive, the other 15% of the time I reload on a single stage...



ETA: 59/400: Extremely Conservative.



Some of those questions are totally biased.  i.e. "Healthy economic growth requires eliminating budget deficits, which discourage private investment and raise interest rates."  Their premise is completely false.  Someone please explain to me how eliminating budget deficits rasies interest rates and discourages private investment.  Whoever wrote this is NOT and economist, that's for sure.  (neither am I, but that's beside the point!).

56/400 extremely conservative.  you're god damn right

it deeply concerns me to see so may fucking liberals here, fuck you all!  Move the fuck out of my country if you hate it so much here.

If one isn't fanatically libtarded, I suspect a conservative score is normal. Remember that they're trying to redefine the middle so your normal leftist can claim to be moderate and anything right of that (including libertarians) will be reviled as right-wing wackjobs.

FYI - I scored 135 "Very Conservative", which just flat isn't true. Unless you define "conservative" as "anyone that disagrees with Obama"

It was to be expected, but some of those questions were so single sided and fucked it's a real surprise I made it through.

For example, only because it's the last question..

"Immigrants today are a burden on our country because they take our jobs and abuse government benefits."

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS yes, LEGAL, NO.  Seriously, what the fuck?!?!!?!

94/100, which apparently makes me "extremely conservative", even though I was rather neutral on a lot of the questions.
