Do you believe the following?

1.Standards for admissions to universities, fire departments, etc. should be lowered for people of color.
If universities want diversity, consider all facets of life, like work experience, background, education, etc.
2.Bilingual education for children of immigrants, rather than immersion in English, is good for them and for America.
I think it is beneficial for all to learn a different language, but ALL Americans need to learn English.
3.Murderers should never be put to death.
All murderers should be put to death.
4.During the Cold War, America should have adopted a nuclear arms freeze.
I think we could have handled the Cold War better, but not necessarily with an arms freeze.
5.Colleges should not allow ROTC programs.
I could care less.
6.It was wrong to wage war against Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War.
We should have taken him out during Desert Storm.
7.Poor parents should not be allowed to have vouchers to send their children to private schools.
I don't believe in vouchers. Public funds should go to public schools.
8.It is good that trial lawyers and teachers unions are the two biggest contributors to the Democratic Party.
I suppose big business and big oil don't cater to Republicans? Both parties have votes for sale.
9.Marriage should be redefined from male-female to any two people or more people, irregardless of age.
I really don't think the gov't should even recognize marriage.
10.A married couple should not have more of a right to adopt a child than two men or two women.
Married couples can provide a stable home in a normal environment.
11.The Boy Scouts should not be allowed to use parks or any other public places and should be prohibited from using churches and synagogues for their meetings.
Don't know much about the Boy Scouts.
12.The present high tax rates are good.
Raise taxes, lower spending, or both. Running huge annual debts isn't good for anybody.
13.Speech codes on college campuses are good and American values are bad.
I like ours. Very restrictive. And American values have already declined significantly.
14.The Israelis and Palestinians are morally equivalent.
They are both a pain in the arse.
15.The United Nations is a moral force for good in the world, and therefore America should be subservient to it and such international institutions as a world court.
The U.N. means well, and it helps to have friends in the world.
16.It is good that colleges have dropped hundreds of men's sports teams in order to meet gender-based quotas.
Here, football subsidizes all other sports. BTW, I'm a big fan of some women's sports.
17.No abortions can be labeled immoral.
I could care less what they label abortion.
18.Restaurants should be prohibited by law from allowing customers to choose between a smoking and a non-smoking section.
I like the law, personally. There is no such thing as a no-smoking section in the same building as smoking.
19.High schools should make condoms available to students and teach them how to use them.
The other option hasn't worked well here. Highest STD rates and pregnancy rates in the state.
20.Racial profiling for terrorists is wrong -- a white American grandmother should as likely be searched as a Saudi young male.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the O.K.C. bombers white?
21.Racism and poverty -- not a lack of fathers and a crisis of values -- are the primary causes of violent crime in the inner city.
Poverty is a factor, but so is drugs, broken homes, etc.
22.It is wrong and unconstitutional for students to be told, "God bless you" at their graduation.
We said a prayer at ours, and still pray before football games.
23.No culture is morally superior to any other.
All cultures have their flaws. And all have their extremists that reflect poorly on everyone else.
24.You think guns are the cause of crime and violence in inner cities.
Lack of guns cause crimes. Everyone should work at making themselves a hard target.
25. You think we should defund the armed forces as they have done in France and Canada.
We need to cut spending enough that we are living within our means. This borrowing money and emergency spending crap drives me insane.
26. Do you think patchouli oil is a substitute for Right Guard?
Huh?
27. You think animal rights are more important than human rights.
Animals have the right to remain tasty.
28. Eating meat is murder.
If you define murder as eating a living organism, so is a salad.
29. George W. Bush is a greater terrorist than Saddam Hussein or Binladin.
W. needs some work, but so has every other prez.
30. You believe in freedom of speech, but believe conservative talk radio and Fox News should be censored.
I don't listen to talk radio, except for the Organic Gardener on WBAP.

Those are all liberal positions. How many of them do you hold?

1.Standards for admissions to universities, fire departments, etc. should be lowered for people of color.

NEIN, social engineering is not the function of schools, or public institutions.


2.Bilingual education for children of immigrants, rather than immersion in English, is good for them and for America.

NEIN, learn the damn language you cannot have a cohesive group if you don't know what the hell they're saying. Plus bilingual education has proven to be a failure for those that don't know english first. "Immersion schools" such as milwaukee's German immersion or French immersion are fine - teach youngin's a second language, but they know english first.

3.Murderers should never be put to death.

Nein, pyres should burn 24/7 to get the message across.

4.During the Cold War, America should have adopted a nuclear arms freeze.

Nein, we had to be able to crush the soviets - I still don't trust Russia.

5.Colleges should not allow ROTC programs.

Nein, they teach valuable skills.

6.It was wrong to wage war against Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War.

It wasn't "wrong" it was unconstitutional.

7.Poor parents should not be allowed to have vouchers to send their children to private schools.

The argument is tricky. Why should "wealthier" parents not get a tax break because they choose to send their kids to private schools -- they still have to pay for the "pubic" schools. It's really unfair.

8.It is good that trial lawyers and teachers unions are the two biggest contributors to the Democratic Party.

Nein, I hate them both.

9.Marriage should be redefined from male-female to any two people or more people, irregardless of age.

Nein, my neighbor has a cute dog, "love" or some deviant bastardization of it doesn't make it right or normal.


10.A married couple should not have more of a right to adopt a child than two men or two women.

Of course, deviancy should never be fosterer or condoned by the goob.


11.The Boy Scouts should not be allowed to use parks or any other public places and should be prohibited from using churches and synagogues for their meetings.

The boy scouts should declare war on public schools, their parents pay the same taxes as the schmoes that fight the scouts.
12.The present high tax rates are good.

Nein, low or no taxes are good.

13.Speech codes on college campuses are good and American values are bad.

Speech codes are fascism. Define "american values" -- cause I see them as becoming really twisted forms of fascism/socialism.

14.The Israelis and Palestinians are morally equivalent.

Nein, but we place WAY too much emphasis on the criminal Israelis.

15.The United Nations is a moral force for good in the world, and therefore America should be subservient to it and such international institutions as a world court.

Nein, the UN, world court, IMF are all global socialist ponzi organizations.


16.It is good that colleges have dropped hundreds of men's sports teams in order to meet gender-based quotas.

Drop all sports in schools (other than private) I'm tired of paying for sweaty men chasing each other around.
17.No abortions can be labeled immoral.

Nein (obviously)

18.Restaurants should be prohibited by law from allowing customers to choose between a smoking and a non-smoking section.

Nein, if you don't like it, DON'T GO THERE.

19.High schools should make condoms available to students and teach them how to use them.

Nein, it's not their function.

20.Racial profiling for terrorists is wrong -- a white American grandmother should as likely be searched as a Saudi young male.

Nein, but then again we're in Iraq and were attacked by saudis.

21.Racism and poverty -- not a lack of fathers and a crisis of values -- are the primary causes of violent crime in the inner city.

Nein, my parents grew up through the depression - they never gang banged.
22.It is wrong and unconstitutional for students to be told, "God bless you" at their graduation.

Nein, read the first amendment.

23.No culture is morally superior to any other.

Nein, if other cultures are so wonderful, why are we being told to adhere to those that promote stupidity and rolling around in your own excrement.


24.You think guns are the cause of crime and violence in inner cities.

stupid people are the problem.

25. You think we should defund the armed forces as they have done in France and Canada.

Yes, until they learn to EFFECTIVELY spend the money.
26. Do you think patchouli oil is a substitute for Right Guard?

What the hell is patchouli oil ?

27. You think animal rights are more important than human rights.

Nein, but I also think cavalier attitudes about animals shows a special sort of pathology.
28. Eating meat is murder.

I clogged a colon this week eating Hickory Hot Sticks and Bavarian Loaf.

29. George W. Bush is a greater terrorist than Saddam Hussein or Binladin.

Nein, but then again, I think bush is a puppet with alot of hands up his azz.

30. You believe in freedom of speech, but believe conservative talk radio and Fox News should be censored.

Nein, but then again, they're not true conservatives.

Webster's Dictionary

liberal--generous. ample. abundant. not literal or strict. tolerant. broad-minded. favoring reform or progess.

Yes sir, I am a liberal!!!!

But did you notice?
Most of those who call themselves liberal are not liberal at all! Most "liberals" are not generous.
They want all they can get for themselves.
Most "liberals" are not tolerant or broad-minded.
They are narrow minded people who refuse to recognize any view except their own.

I think the word "liberal" has somehow lost its true meaning these last few decades.

It really isn't a dirty word.

Most good conservatives are liberal people!!

Liberalisim will be the downfall of this country yet -it is a ever increasing plague on our country- it could be a plot by the commies& french(i dont trust ruskis either).

Conservitive talk show hosts & most others calling themselfs such things are way to liberal for my tastes.

No, I am not a liberal. I also think Webster's is confusing the definition of liberal with the definiton of generous.

Default RE: Are you a liberal.

I agree with the following:

Quote:
3.Murderers should never be put to death.
I won't say "never" because there might just an instance in which someone is just too dangerous to keep alive (remember that communist b*tch lawyer Stewart [Broomhilda] who sneaked communications from her client Abdel-Rahman to other terrorists?).

However, I want your garden variety murderer to rot in prison for life without parole. Sleep on concrete, eat sawdust/carrot bread and water, and get sunlight from a slit high on the wall of his/her cell. I want them to live as empty a life as possible before they die themselves.

Quote:
5.Colleges should not allow ROTC programs.
I think it should up to the college, particularly if it's a private school.

Quote:
17.No abortions can be labeled immoral.
I suppose a forced abortion is immoral, but I don't think morality is absolute on a personal level. What you do to your own body is none of my business, and certainly none of the law's either.

I guess that's it for this list. And this one:

Quote:
26. Do you think patchouli oil is a substitute for Right Guard?
Argh, I hate that frickin' smell! I managed a natural food store once, and I couldn't stand the hippies and wrinkly old women who would come in wearing that crap. Makes me want to puke right now.
