This quiz sucked. It's filled with strawman arguments against conservatives and had only one reasonable choice for every five nutso ones. Are liberals REALLY invested in stopping tea-baggers from breeding? Because where I come from that's eugenics and something Hitler would have done. It's not a liberal value. Nice to see there is a conservative quiz out there (which I didn't have the stomach to look at) providing false equivalencies that "both sides do it". I felt dirty completing this quiz.

Out of morbid curiosity I took the conservative quiz as well:

My Conservative Identity:

You are a Freedom Crusader, also known as a neoconservative. You believe in taking the fight directly to the enemy, whether it’s terrorists abroad or the liberal terrorist appeasers at home who give them aid and comfort.

...hmm.

My God, that quiz sounds horrible. I didn't dare look at it because I knew it would boil my blood. I thought about how hateful and ignorant the liberal quiz was and multiplied it by a hundred in my head for the conservative one.

I doubt the "liberal" quiz was actually written by a liberal. It feels more like it was written by a hateful conservative or Libertarian who actually thinks that's what liberals want to hear. And I don't give it any slack for appearing on a "humor" site. Liberals don't find hateful humor all that funny.

The conservative quiz makes fun of conservatives as well - on the "who would you carve on Mt. Rushmore?" question, one of the answers is Exxon-Mobil, Wal-Mart, Goldman Sachs, and Halliburton, and the time-travel question has something about cloning Reagan as an option. The main problem with the quizzes is less right-wing bias and more... lack of humour, really.

Except there are definitely true believer types who believe that Corporations should be given their own monuments so it's less satire and more observation. If Rush told the peasants that Wal-Mart should replace Jefferson on Rushmore the peasants would nod "Ditto".

By the way who in God's name believes Micheal Moore deserves a place on Mount Rushmore next to MLK? Moore isn't fit to lick MLK's boots. What could the two possibly have in common to group them together? What kind of non-existant liberal boogeyman wants to see Moore's smirking mug on a statue, much less a national monument?

And I don't think the quizzes are biased. I think they are stupid. There's a difference.

The Mt. Rushmore questions were pretty whacked out - one of the conservative answers was Ted Nugent, Chuck Norris, someone I've never heard of, and... Johnny Cash.

What poor old Johnny Cash did to get lumped in with Nugent and Norris is beyond me...

[mattzimmer.livejournal.com]

Johnny Cash was a liberal. The people who did the quiz obviously did no research whatsoever.

I'm not fun enough to get Ariel.

As for the liberal quiz, yeah, those questions were extreme, and no real indication of anything.

Even though my Aspergers makes strangers want to stay away from me in real life it makes me REALLY bubbly around people I care about. So yes, I'm not surprised I got Ariel in the Disney quiz or Kermit in the Muppet one. I'm probably get Elmo in a Sesame Street one.

[90scartoonman.livejournal.com]

I can see that.

Yaaaayyyy!!!!
