Quoted from Death Monkey And I still can't believe I'm so friggin' right wing.

TJ, you NRA toting-Pro life-English is our first language-Christ rules-Gas chamber advocat-Pat Buchannon nuthugger...you learn something new everyday, I guess  

Oh well, better embrace who I am.

You dirty, godless, monkey-lovin', commie liberal!

There's so much power in the dark side...

Me and my buddy Mahatma will kick the shit out of you and your buddy Heston any day of the week.

Since writers tend to be a very liberal bunch I don't think this thread represents the general political leanings in the US and since this thread seems to have turned into a "conservative bashing" thread there probably won't be too many members trumpeting their conservatism.

Last time there was an election here, there was some effort to get people to take this test in order to get voters to see where they reaally stood politically before voting. Maybe it will be more succesful this time around.

Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.38



I thought I'd be a little more on the left.

Hey, apparently I'm "conservative", and I approve of this bashing. No, but seriously, it's all in good fun and I hope nobody feels too intimidated to own up to voting for dubuya, being pro-life, against gay-marriage and abortion. It's just politics: so we disagree, big deal...doesn't mean we can't all be friends.


Ooops, I think just became a bleeding heart liberal.  

I didn't say I disagreed with you about anything. I just don't like bashing of anybody...

3 out of 4 ain't bad.

I just don't see the bashing? Just Rob and I having a laugh. The joke was that I don't consider myself conservative and then Rob ascribed me traditional conservative values he knew I didn't subscribe to. No bashing. In fact I think the word 'bashing' is thrown around a tad too often online.

But if I've offended anybody, I'm sorry.

Quoted from Shelton 3 out of 4 ain't bad.

Considering being pro-life and against abortion is the same thing, that's not that impressive.

That's how I took it, but you could say pro-life in regards to the death penalty as well.  That pretty much falls outside the realm of the conservative though.

I guess I never thought about it... don't think anyone deserves to be killed as punishment.

But I'm not against abortion. The woman can do whatever she wants. It's her body.

Mike,

That's true about pro-life.
Personally I'm against the death penalty because of the chance of sentencing an innocent man to death. Not so much because I think it's inhumane anymore. But I'm on the fence.

Jordan,



?

I'm against the death penalty because I think it's a barbaric way for a civilised society to act, but I think if you murder someone you should spend the rest of your life in prison.

As for gay marriage, I'm for it. Gay people should have the right to be as miserable as everybody else.  

I'm personally against abortion, but I don't think society should take away a person's right to choose.

I get what you're saying, but why should our proverbial tax dollars go to fund the meals and sustenance for a convicted killer or rapist, when none of them go to the victims?

Ideally I would send murderers and rapists to live on Mars where they would mine for Tiberium deep beneath the surface for the benefit of all mankind. But the corporations go too far and cut off the air for the colonies and people almost suffocate. Until Arnold Schwarzenegger kills Michael Ironside and saves the day, only to realize it was all in his head, or something.

As for gay marriage: they should have the exact same legal rights but we shouldn't force religious institutions to perform same-sex weddings. It's not a human right to get a church wedding.

Anyway, anyone else wanna take the test?
