Keep in mind that according to some, we have in this country a two-party political system, one such known as the Stupid Party and the other, the Evil Party. So I thought I'd take these two quizzes. First up was the Republican Loyalty Quiz:
Your score is 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a solid Democrat. You are not as fiercely ideological or uncompromising as others in the party, but nonetheless remain a reliable supporter. If you could have your way, you'd like to see Democrats leaders take a slightly more accommodating approach on certain issues – and dial down some of their nakedly partisan and bitterly divisive rhetoric.
So, heh, from the Republican perspective I'm a reliable supporter of the Democrats...well, anyway, since I am nothing if not fair and balanced, I then took the Democrat Loyalty Quiz:
Your score is 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a moderate. You agree with Democrats on some issues and Republicans on others, while rejecting the blind, naked partisanship of both sides. You base your vote on issues rather than ideology and principle rather than party, which makes you the quintessential swing voter the media loves to fawn over.
That "issues rather than ideology" business is a clue as to what's wrong with political thought in this country. Still, I take pleasure in knowing that the Stupid Party sees me as Evil, and the Evil Party thinks I'm Stupid. I am Diversity, brother.
I'm also an Objectivist and I scored a 1 on the Democrat Loyalty test and a 7 on the Rebublican Loyalty test. But most of the questions were non-objective and loaded with altruism from either side. Still it was fun. Thanks for the links.
