A Political Test for all Stripes

Donald J. Hagen has a funny and insightful political test that anyone can get a kick out of, whether you're liberal, conservative or anywhere else in the world of ideology.

A few examples of the questions:

Government's practice of stealing from the rich to give to the poor is...
CONS: a crime.
LIBL: a brave, generous and heroic deed.
LBRT: a foolish, misguided attempt at social engineering.
COMM: an inspiration to us all.

A cup with that only contains half a cup of water is...
CONS: half full.
LIBL: half empty.
LBRT: an example of shortages caused by government control of our water supply.
COMM: an example of inequitable wealth distribution caused by the inherent social injustice in free enterprise.

For what offenses should unlimited asset forfeiture become standard operating procedure?
CONS: Drug dealing.
LIBL: Insider securities trading.
LBRT: Nothing. Excessive fines are unconstitutional.
COMM: Being too successful in the marketplace.


What is your vision for America?
CONS: Two Maine lobsters in every pot, and a BMW in every three-car garage.
LIBL: Clean air, clean water, clean energy, clean food, clean underwear, and dirty movies.
LBRT: Make America a place where government institutions don't micromanage people's lives.
COMM: Implement a fresh, new and revolutionary redesign of corporate hierarchies in America's businesses.

What is the single most important factor influencing someone's personal success in America?
CONS: What you know.
LIBL: Who you know.
LBRT: What you do.
COMM: Who you oppress.

Go give it a try for yourself here.
