I took it again and got the exact same results... Here are the questions and answers... with my answers in red... Reasons for my answers or comments in green. then my results.
1. Protecting the environment is a primary social responsibility we have, regardless of how it effects businesses. Not exactly True I picked true, hard to do business if people are dead. 2. Immigration policies Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country. Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally. Get them the hell out.. and don't let the door kick you in the ass. Apply legally if you want to live and work here. Course, I place most the blame on the people who hire them and a government who looks the other way.. without that, there is no problem other than shipping them out. 3. Gay marriage Should be legal and given the same rights as heterosexual marriage. Should not be legal. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Marriage is man made, and a hinderence to two people being together in this day and age. There's a reason less and less young people are seeking permission to be together. Adam and Steve are fine by me.. Jesus doesn't hate gays.. 4. Public education could be improved by Having a voucher system Revoking No Child Left Behind Revoke NCLB now!! 5. If you smoke marijuana... You should be punished with a slap on the wrist It's your business I don't need anyone slapping anything. Mind your own f*cking body unless I cause you harm directly related to smoking pot. 6. Affirmative action Gives minorities and women a level playing field Is unfair, outdated, and hurts those with the most merit Unfair, outdated, and hurts the best man/woman. 7. Carrying a gun is: Taking responsibility for one's own defense, and admirable Dangerous and sketchy Dangerous and sketchy as most peoples "protection" kills innocent bystanders and family members than actual criminals deserving of death. Don't ever plan owning one. Specially a handgun. 8. Some people have less luck than others False True I thought about false then had a hard time thinking that little baby JFK JR. didn't have a bit more luck than little Charlie Manson who was sold by his prostitute mother. An infant can't make luck and it will certainly affect destiny. 9. Social Security: Is simply a transfer payment that should be replaced by personal accounts Can easily be fixed by making the rich and employers pay more Picked the first, learingly.. 10. Taxes should be... Cut to stimulate the economy and give people more of their money back. Something the rich pay more of. They can afforded. Picked the first, but would choose neither really.. 11.

The Fed should be more concerned with Controlling unemployment Controlling inflation Inflation.. 13. The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders. False True They have a responsibility of total HONESTY before anything. 14. Everyone has a right to health care, even if they can't afford it False True True.. I'm tired of peoples worth being shackled to money. 15.All authority, by its nature, should be questioned False True Hell yeah! 16. Abortion should be... Completely legal and available Restricted, discouraged, or illegal Ummmmmmmm.. 17. Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified. True False Never ok to kill people for any reason. 18. The war in Iraq is justified True False Are you kidding? For what? 19. The problem with the US justice system is: Too many plea bargains and loose interpretations of law Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights Too many plea bargains.. but too many laws, too many prisons.. 20. The death penalty Is appropriate in select cases Is a violation of human rights Nope.. not a fan of the death penalty..
1. Protecting the environment is a primary social responsibility we have, regardless of how it effects businesses. Not exactly True This is one of those questions that could've gone either way. It's not their primary responsibilty. They do have to make a profit also. 2. Immigration policies Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country. Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally. 3. Gay marriage Should be legal and given the same rights as heterosexual marriage. Should not be legal. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Gays should have the same rights. Dosn't mean churches should be required to marry them though. 4. Public education could be improved by Having a voucher system Revoking No Child Left Behind The no child left behind only hinders other kids to excelrate. There was nothing wrong with the short bus. 5. If you smoke marijuana... You should be punished with a slap on the wrist It's your business It's not saying whether we should enforce the law or not. It's a personal choice so its your own buisness 6. Affirmative action Gives minorities and women a level playing field Is unfair, outdated, and hurts those with the most merit It's unfair, outdated and hurts those with the most merit. 7. Carrying a gun is: Taking responsibility for one's own defense, and admirable Dangerous and sketchy Nothing sketchy about it. Self defense is a god given, constitutional right. 8. Some people have less luck than others False True Ever here about the lottery? 9. Social Security: Is simply a transfer payment that should be replaced by personal accounts Can easily be fixed by making the rich and employers pay more SSN is failing.

Abortion should be... Completely legal and available Restricted, discouraged, or illegal Illegal with charges of murder. 17. Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified. True False Most emphatically. 18. The war in Iraq is justified True False Yes it defiantly was. 19. The problem with the US justice system is: Too many plea bargains and loose interpretations of law Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights Too many plea bargains but not enough rehab. mixed question but I don't care about the prisoners rights. 20. The death penalty Is appropriate in select cases Is a violation of human rights Do the crime...get fried!
I was thinking Snaf.. about abortion, one area we see differently.. I know you say it's a 50/50 affair whereas the man should have equal say and rights.. If it was illegal with criminal charges, how would the man be held equally accountable? Alls a mans gotta say is.. Prove it, I wanted to keep it, see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya. Believe it or not, there are men out there who'd sell there mother for a buck..
My answers were the same as Brotherman and for the same reasons except this one: 15.All authority, by its nature, should be questioned False True The question itself was too narow, but given a choice of either questioning authority or blindly accepting it, I would decide to question it. To me authority istelf does not mean your always right so there should be checks and balances, but as a rule we should not make it a habit of fighting authority just for the sake of fighting it. There is a time and place as well, for example, fighting a ticket on the side of the road is not the right time or place.
If abortion was illegal? He can't abort the child on his own ( unless he used a smoothie) but if he were to coerce the women he should be charged for conspiracy to commit murder. If he slips her the morining after pill he would get the murder charge just like the guy did as the law stands now. 50-50.
I think if their were more choices or rankings of importance on this test, I would have been more of a moderate conservative then as conservative as this showed.
Here is another quiz to gauge if you lean liberal or conservative. Still not perfect but a bit more to it then the last. Political Quiz I scored a 24. Puts me more conservative then Colon Powell and just shy of George Bush senior.
Hahaha... OK I'm just starting to take the test but... "which do you trust more the Pentagon or the US Postal Service"? Come on!
1. Protecting the environment is a primary social responsibility we have, regardless of how it effects businesses. Not exactly True "Not Exactly"??? How is that a viable answer vs. "True"? I voted that way, because while I don't think a company needs to be deliberately trashing the environment, I don't think it should be their main concern. 2. Immigration policies Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country. Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally. Lock the door, then start working on sending the illegals here home and to the end of the "enter the country legally" line. 3. Gay marriage Should be legal and given the same rights as heterosexual marriage. Should not be legal. Marriage is between a man and a woman. "Marriage" is between man and woman. If two gays want to have a binding legal contract between them, any paralegal can help them with that. 4. Public education could be improved by Having a voucher system Revoking No Child Left Behind Technically I voted for the vouchers, but easily could have said both. 5. If you smoke marijuana... You should be punished with a slap on the wrist It's your business As long as it is illegal, you should be punished for doing it. 6. Affirmative action Gives minorities and women a level playing field Is unfair, outdated, and hurts those with the most merit It's unfair, outdated and hurts those with the most merit- and stupid. 7. Carrying a gun is: Taking responsibility for one's own defense, and admirable Dangerous and sketchy Don't see very many shootings in army surplus stores. I wonder why that is? 8. Some people have less luck than others False True Like Brotherman, I don't believe in luck. Life hands you all kinds of stuff- some good, some bad- deal with what you got. 9. Social Security: Is simply a transfer payment that should be replaced by personal accounts Can easily be fixed by making the rich and employers pay more all for personal responsibility 10. Taxes should be... Cut to stimulate the economy and give people more of their money back. Something the rich pay more of. They can afforded. again with the personal responsibility. Let me handle my money. If I blow it all on nachos and then can't afford the payment on my new house, then it's my own damn fault. 11. It's more important for our country Reduce the deficit and national debt To help the poor and helpless I don't think it is the countries responsibility to take care of the poor. That's my job. and yours. 12. The Fed should be more concerned with Controlling unemployment Controlling inflation I voted for Controlling inflation so it would keep minimum wage from ever being increased again.- personal responsibility. Not making enough money for a new house? better yourself so you can get a better job. 13. The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders. False True Companies are there to make money for the people invested in it. 14. Everyone has a right to health care, even if they can't afford it False True I voted true on this one- because everyone deserves to be treated. This does not mean that I think everyone is entitled to health insurance, or cheap insurance if they are not doing their part to be living a healthy lifestyle. 15.All authority, by its nature, should be questioned False True If the question said "All authority, by its nature, should be open to be questioned" my vote wold have been different. Just because authority is there does not mean I should question it. It is a privilege to have a job, and as such, my boss doesn't have to let me work there. He is my boss and I need to respect the opportunity he gives me to make a paycheck. 16. Abortion should be... Completely legal and available Restricted, discouraged, or illegal abolutely 17. Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified. True False Yep. Sometimes it's good being the most powerful county in the world. 18. The war in Iraq is justified True False Yep, Hussien had WMD (give me 10 years to hide something and see how well I do at it...) and he was an evil bastard. Iraq is better off without him. 19. The problem with the US justice system is: Too many plea bargains and loose interpretations of law Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights I'd add frivolous lawsuits to that as well.. 20. The death penalty Is appropriate in select cases Is a violation of human rights should be added for drug users. lol
I guess I've changed my view on this a bit. Yes a marriage is between a man and a women but they should have the same rights. Not more rights but the same. And a church should not be made to condone or preform such unions. Bite your tounge!
