Michelle Malkin has a quiz:
1. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life.
I have voted for plenty of Democrats. Never presidential, but plenty of other offices.
2. I think my taxes are too high.
No, I think they are too damn high. Not just my income tax, but the taxes on everything else I buy. Out of every dollar I earn, 35-45% of it goes towards taxes.
3. I supported Bill Clinton's impeachment.
Yes. Perjury is an impeachable offense, sorry.
4. I voted for President Bush in 2000.
Yes, and I wasn't happy he was our final choice for the Republican candidate.
5. I am a gun owner.
I love my Dan Wesson .357 Magnum.
6. I support school voucher programs.
No. I don't. I support getting the government out of education and letting the free market make the best damn schools in the universe. But short of that, sure. It's pseudo-market driven.
7. I oppose condom distribution in public schools.
Yes. It gives the wrong message to kids that sex is perfectly a safe thing to do so long as you use a condom. While I support condom usage, there are more than diseases and babies that go along with sex.
8. I oppose bilingual education.
Only if the child isn't being taught English as the primary language. Helping a child learn English is fine, but speaking Spanish only is a crime. If you can parse through my grandmother's accent, you should hear her rant about people who can't speak English or how it's horrible that signs are in Spanish.
9. I oppose gay marriage.
Nope. Not at all. I personally do not approve of it, but that's my take. If I run an insurance company or my own business, it should be up to me who I decide to accept as family or not. The government should stay out of it completely meaning that if you don't like my views on homosexuals, tough shit. The government isn't going to be able to help you.
10. I want Social Security privatized.
Like I want air to breathe.
11. I believe racial profiling at airports is common sense.
Yup. I'm still upset that I never get extra security measures taken against me. I have dark skin, swarthy, mid 30's, wild fanatical eyes, etc. Until an old lady brings down a plane with a set of nail clippers, I think it's foolish to waste so much time on her when plenty of other people are clearly more likely to cause trouble.
12. I shop at Wal-Mart.
Not often, and usually only for ammo.
13. I enjoy talk radio.
Can't stand it. Any of it. For the most part, it's 70% commercials which suck. If I do feel like listening, the only thing that ever holds my attention is the Schnitt Show.
14. I am annoyed when news editors substitute the phrase "undocumented person" for "illegal alien."
Or "militant" for "terrorist" or "mentally deficient" for "tard".
15. I do not believe the phrase "a chink in the armor" is offensive.
Even if it refers to Jackie Chan in a chain mail suit. It's a word. I get called all kinds of nasty things and I don't spend my time crying about it.
16. I eat meat.
Usually rare for my steaks. I'd eat baby seal club sandwiches if they were available at Outback. I also love salads, grilled veggies, soy burgers (Boca patties are to die for), bean sprouts, and any raw veggie dipped in ranch dressing.
17. I believe O.J. Simpson was guilty.
Like I believe the sky is blue.
18. I cheered when I learned that Saddam Hussein had been captured.
My throat still hurts
19. I cry when I hear "Proud to be an American" by Lee Greenwood.
No. I had the most unfortunate "pleasure" of hearing him sing it live at a bowl game a few years ago. However, I get misty eyed every time the American Anthem is sung at a game.
20. I don't believe the New York Times.
Too vague of a question. If I read in the NYT that the price of kidney beans had gone up 1% due to labor disputes on bean farms, I'd probably believe it. If the NYT printed Bush rode a horse while on vacation, I'd have to make sure it was true by getting a bunch of other sources first.
So, according to her scale (5 points for each yes) I score an absolute 75 and an 85 if you take into consideration some of my maybes.
