A Look At Your Politics: The Test Of The Decade

I received an E-Mail from Don Hagen today, who says he is a reader who enjoys my little part of the blogosphere. Be that as it may, Don has a well crafted political test to get to the root of your politics. Be you Conservative, Liberal, Libertarian or Commie-Hippy-Pinko. A sample of the test:

1: Government's practice of stealing from the rich to give to the poor is...
CONS: a crime.
LIBL: a brave, generous and heroic deed.
LBRT: a foolish, misguided attempt at social engineering.
COMM: an inspiration to us all.

2: The most egregious example of government waste is...
CONS: the Department of the Interior's $600,000 outhouse.
LIBL: the Department of Defense's $600 toilet seat.
LBRT: the $100,000,000 in emergency funds to buy air conditioners for poor people during the blistering heat wave of 1998. Although, I'm sure there are people who honestly believe that if all those air conditioners saved just one life, then it was indeed a small price to pay.
COMM: the Department of Commerce's entire budget.

3: Why do people contribute money to political campaigns?
CONS: To get a good return on their investment.
LIBL: To buy access to corruptible legislators.
LBRT: To support candidates who have views similar to their own.
COMM: To advance the needs of The Party.

The test is, though lengthy, quite funny and parts of it may split your sides. Be warned, not for the faint of heart, fence sitters or those who just don't have a funny bone in their body. Conservatives should see the humor with no problem, Libertarians may smirk occasionally, Commie-Hippy-Pinkos will wonder why more people don't A.N.S.W.E.R. (pun intended) their way and the Liberals will be totally perplexed. Go, read, take the test and come back and comment.

Excellent piece of work. It certainly mirrors our society pretty well. I came out somewhere between a Conservative and a Libertarian. One small correction though ... in #3 ... Isn't the term "corruptible legislators" redundant?

177 freakin' questions! I only made it to #67 before the point set in. CON: Answers every question religiously. LIBL: Revises every question. LBRT: Skips the test (we know where we stand). COMM: Papers will be collected, scored and stored for future referal. -cp

I see bloggers talk of tests like this. This is funny and interesting. Are people so extremist as described in this test?

But sometimes, jokes portray truth more precisely than academic essays. The test is worthy from this perspective.

I get various results from one test to another. Is this test accurate????
