"Are you part of the New American Center?" http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/10/15/20977799-quiz-are-you-a-member-of-the-new-american-center

Me, I turned out to be a Bleeding Heart Liberal.

Not surprising...the majority turn out to be  Bleeding Heart Liberal.

I am extreme right....one of the "Talk Radio Heads".....and I don't even listen to radio....or get FOX NEWS..... :lmao:

Most of the DUmbass questions were loaded and written/designed to place you far to the right if you hadn't gotten drunk on the koolaid before taking the test.

As you would expect from NBC, the poll is slanted. Just for fun I answered all the question neutral except for being opposed to homosexual marriage, abortion, saying I went to church, and that I pray everyday just to see how it would answer. There was a time when the things I listed were considered as mainstream an American view as Mom and apple pie. Now, it puts you in the "Righteous Right" category.

Neutral on everything, but being a devout follower of your religious beliefs makes you an extremist to these kooks. That's how far off the deep end this country has fallen.

Same here... Funny, the only talk I listen to is sports talk, especially hockey. Very rarely do I turn on news talk, and that's only for the local talking heads. :whatever:

21. Me, too.... but I don't like the term...

It implies wimp-itude. Well, put that shoe on, you know it fits.  :lmao:

I prefer to think of myself as an "In your face Left-Wing Patriotic socialist American"

I love my country... just like the child of an alcoholic loves his mother. What?? You're about as stupid as Mrs. Corpio.

I love her...but I just want her to do better at taking care of her children. Wants more free stuff.

IT'S OFFICIAL: YOU'RE ONE OF THE TALK RADIO HEADS

You're part of the 14 percent of the electorate that resents government intrusion into the private sector and into private lives.  You are not part of the New American Center.
Aw, I'm devastated that the goons at Esquire don't think I'm moderate enough.

Did you notice they had the scale backward?  It's usually lower to higher, left to right... on most of the questions I answered, it was set up the other way around.

The post you quoted shows how the DUmmies think, they view government as a parent who needs to take care of them. We view government as a societal glue that holds the country together and we are responsible for our own selves.

I took the test again and answered with the most liberal answer I could......you got to be an extremely crazy liberal to get "bleeding heart". It's no wonder the "bleeding hearts" don't like the term.....it exposes their nuttiness.

I consider myself pretty centrist, probably a bit further to the left than many here, but because of the way the questions were worded even I got the highly prized "Radio Host" label.  Thanks NBC!

What a load of horseshit. As most of you know I've been getting more and more (l)ibertarian in my views in that I don't want the government involved in ANY aspect of my life anymore. I chose legalization of prostitution and for civil unions. How'd it judge me? BTW, this should show you had radically ****ing left those morons have become. Basically, everywhere I saw government intrusion, I voted against. Period. End of story. I see what we can lose with one election of an authoritarian jackass.

I answered each question the same way I would have since I was 20, and probably most of the same way that my "moderate" dad would have answered in the 60's and 70's.



"Talk Radio Head," indeed. Yes, NBC is definitely "unbiased" with their idea of the "New American Center" somewhere around Lenin, maybe a little left or right of him by a couple degrees.

**** YOU, NBC.

EDIT: I want to reiterate that I voted mostly on Libertarian lines (including legalization of prostitution and NO government control of Internet), that taxes was necessary ONLY for the essential operation of government (such as "common defense" iterated in the Constitution"), and prayed daily. Had I picked the "conservative" positions on that I don't see how I could have moved much more to the right.

I find that so offensive and inaccurate.  Just because you're religious in any way means that you must be a hard right winger?  What if one substituted "mosque" for "church?"  You know, they didn't address that at all.  All the religion choices were some sort of Christianity, IIRC. 

Some of the biggest moonbats I've ever seen were members of the Methodist church.  Presbyterian, too.

They had "Muslim", "Jewish", and "None" at the very bottom.

Apparently being Jewish means you're a right-winger too somehow...  :???:

It really irks me that leftists say all right wingers are religious. I say BS on that.

I have said this many times before, being religious is not strongly related to political leaning. I have known many conservatives who are not religious.

Mainline Protestant is very liberal for the most part. Yes, some of the biggest are in Mainline Protestant. There are conservative Atheists, Agnostics, and non-religious.

Yep, I did the same. Apparently there is going to be a big push to say that the "new American center" is a socialist. The questions were ridiculous and was very transparent. I'm not particularly religious either. As to abortion, I had to go with only in rape, or mother's life in danger only because they had a 6 month term but no first trimester option which I would lean more to. Nobody can argue that a 6 month old baby is not viable and a human life. I'm beginning to lean toward sterilization for welfare mothers with two children. We can't keep the baby mother culture going.

I could make the quiz much shorter; Do you believe in from each according to their abilities and to each according to their needs? Answer yea you are in the center. Answer no and you are Radio Head.
