Were those questions right out of the communist manifesto or what?

I think it could have been boiled down to three questions.

1. Do you think the USA is pure evil?

2. Do you think Whitey is pure evil?

3. Should we take all of the evil USA's and whitey's money and give to people that have not earned it?

Some of those questions were so poorly phrased.  You could tell it was written from a Lib/DUmmy perspective.

It seem that I'm one of the more liberal members here, with a score of 121. That being the case, with my sense of entitlement, I expect that each of you send me ten dollars on a weekly basis. No fair donating to a charity in my name. Send the money to me and I'll take of charity. You can trust me on this.

BUUUUUULL-FUUUUCKING-SHIIIIT!!!

There isn't a single conservative, Republican, Christian, AMERICAN in the world that is against GIVING food stamps or *ANY* social help to those in need!!!111 We shellfishly do this every day!

What we *ARE* against is a DUmmy liberal standard of a self-anointed lifestyle of society parasitic suckling off the system just because you are black or your back hurts when you get out of your whore's bed in the morning AND, your lazy-assed self entitlement mindset.

What if we just use a fake ID with your name and picture on it to buy beer with that money? (Pot doesn't really appeal to me, but I could go for beer and Cheetos.)  And then sent you a photocopy of our hands passing that money on to the convenience store clerk...  :-)

My score was 352, what's yours?

Should have been higher, but I misread a couple of questions (it doesn't allow you to change your response).

On edit: response to my first response, oversight on my part.

In case the link inside the quote doesn't work, it's up there above, right under the link to the campfire on Skins's island.

franksolich scored 145.

8. Some of the questions are too ambiguous

Example:

"The primary responsibility of corporations is to produce profits and returns for their shareholders, not to improve society"

I actually 'Strongly Agree' with this statement, but with a qualifier. As the CEO of a company (and arguably any employee) it is your JOB to make the company money. Companies aren't inherently evil, they exist to make money.

However; it's the government's job to regulate them and to protect the American consumer, the American worker and the American economy. There are many questions that force you to choose between government and private industry. In my view they go hand and hand.

I'm still "very progressive".

The average score was 209.5, but some of those questions really sucked.

Just one thought. The primitives keep saying how they represent America. But they avergaed ~350 and the average American according to this survey is 209. They don't seem to have picked up on that.

Only 20% of Americans subscribe to their ideology, 40% conservative, 35% moderate and IMO leaning towards conservatism.

I think we need a purge here!

 :-)

I agreed that the government is doing too much to promote religion...the religion it's promoting, of course, is manmade global warming.

Some of those questions were a bit obtuse.

The other religion our current government is promoting is Islam.  NASA outreach to the Muslim world my ass. :whatever:

I scored 142/400.  Does this make me one of the board's progressives? :evillaugh:
