Guess I'm Not A "Right Wing Nut"
Eye of the Storm blog had a link to a quick quiz that would determine just how far to the left or right you are politically in several areas. I found the answers offered to be much too limiting but I did the best I could and this how I came out. And I always get told I'm a right wing extremist. Hmmm.

I have examined the questions and I have figured out how come I am considered so highly liberal. The personal prejudice of whoever wrote the quiz came through as I realized they made a wrong assumption:
Conservative = Selfish.
I am not an extremely selfish person but I am conservative. The quiz mistakenly equated my concern for others as liberalism. Actually some of the most liberal people I know are extremely selfish.

Hey! We're pretty close Shoprat!
ESR, LP. Maybe you two should get married! Sounds like a match.
I took this over at Mary Anne's blog: Eye of the Storm.
I'm supposedly 85% Conservative overall.
I don't understand how they came up with that, when the rest of the results showed 100% conservative and 0% liberal! It makes no sense to me.
We sure wouldn't have much to fight about!
The questions were written by a leftie and reflect leftie ideas about what it means to be conservative.
PJC-You ARE a right wing nut!
I was 85% conservative overall like Gayle. I think there's something screwy with this quiz :-).
What is screwy about this quiz is that its creator equated conservatism with greed, showing their own bias.
