That might help her avoid misusing the term so frequently.

Lefty 0 #7 October 8, 2007 Heh, I think that's why the original link doesn't work...went to the results page instead of the quiz page. Any quiz that says I'm a liberal is obviously broken...dumb quiz.Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful. -Calvin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pirana 0 #8 October 8, 2007 Apparently, my approach to foreign policy falls in the PAGE NOT FOUND category.

rehmwa 2 #9 October 8, 2007 QuoteSo are you???? http://www.csmonitor.com/cgi-bin/neoConQuiz.pl http://www.csmonitor.com/specials/neocon/neoconQuiz.html link is there now. "realist" but, some of the answer options on a couple questions I didn't like at all - the verbage was definitely goofy/inflammatory and made it hard to even consider some answers that would otherwise be palatable. ...

NCclimber 0 #14 October 8, 2007 Quote If you aint one.. why so much support of all the crap they have brought upon the country.... Thing about a test..... you have to answer truthfully. Produce a single post where I've said anything that would indicate I'm a neocon. Just one. What I've noticed on this forum is that there are some posters who hold extremist views... I mean they post stuff way out there in La La Land. You know, crap like the 9/11 attack was carried out by our own people or cries about all our rights being taken away etc. And when someone points out how flimsy these positions are, they get labeled as a member of the opposition's extremist camp. It's about being able to distinguish the shades of gray. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #15 October 8, 2007 The quiz said I was Liberal. Which is why I say I am a Liberal Conservative or a Conservative Liberal. The wording was a bit scewed as others have said.An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BikerBabe 0 #18 October 8, 2007 i don't know if i agree that foreign policy is the SOLE defining issue for classifying people as "neo-cons" or not. I got "realist" on the quiz, but i consider myself a social liberal, for sure, and moderate to liberal on economic issues. and i agree on the wording...some of them i didn't want to choose ANY of the answers, heh.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

nanook 1 #19 October 8, 2007 I'm a realist/neocon. There's a weird explaination here. . . I somewhat believe most (but not all) of both tables. The Realists table as with the other two is written in passive phrases and Ideaology. The Neocon table is written with action and power phrases. It shows what Neocons do where as the other tables show what realists, isolationists, ect. . think There's no consistency in the writing. Of course no one wants to publicly admit to being a neocon. the writing is designed (mayby unintentionally) to call out neocons. I say I'm both according to that table because I would use Neocon action to promote my Idealistic ideals_____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
