Liberal/Conservative Quiz

Very interesting. Although madladyred is right about the answers being too black-and-white...a lot of them I just had to choose one way or the other, even though my personal feelings were quite gray on some issues. I think that only a fool sees most of these complicated issues as absolutely all-or-nothing. It seems to me that my results suggest that I have

I'm too am not sure why both answers couldn't be right or both wrong, why the suggestion is that they're diametrically opposed. Let's hear it for the Radical Middle!

I'm so glad to see more liberal scores! The person I swiped it from had conservative leanings and I wondered if it was just me swinging the other way. The one that upset me the most was "personal responsibility". I am a strong believer in personal responsibility, I think our society is way too big on blaming others for their problems. But that does not in any way mean we aren't here to help others. I think the quiz totally missed that concept.

Hope to see everyone this weekend at GARF! I'm so excited - wheeee Road Trip!!

I myself hate the suggestion made by this quiz that "personal responsibility" is somehow the hallmark of a conservative, while liberals don't believe in it. Um... no.
