That's it... pencils down.
If you chose ''Yes'' more times than ''No'' on the above exam, you are a true liberal. Go ahead and vote for John Kerry in November. On the other hand, if your choices where more often ''No'' than ''Yes'' do us all a favor and vote for the leaders of our current administration, even though some of the things they do may annoy you.
Beyond that, if by chance you are one of the unfortunate few who have picked an equal number of ''Yes'' and ''No'' answers, all I can say to you is GIVE UP! I can think of nothing more profoundly pathetic than someone who bounces back and forth between the left and the right like some sort of political pinball. Either pick a side or get the hell out of everyone else's way.
I thank you for your attention.

I honestly answered NO to every one of them. But you gotta admit the wording on some of those questions are pretty biased. It's definitely NOT a well made survey.

Yup, 100% No's here. And yes the wording is part of it. Viewpoint and conceptualizations is a bigger part. Guess it depends on whether you want to be Betty Crocker or the oven.

You know...the best way to defeat a liberal is to let them speak.
