Are you a Neocon? Take the quiz.
 
Neocon Quiz

Pretty interesting quiz. The answers (as with any quiz), don't always fit exactly what one would really answer, but hey, it's still pretty good.

And I turned out as a Realist.

SteveDallas 03-01-2004 12:51 PM

I love the tag at the end: "Results are not scientific." Thanks for clarifying that for us!

Anyway, I took the quiz and it said I was a "fucking wingnut."

Griff 03-01-2004 01:04 PM

"Isolationist" Is that another word for wingnut?

kerosene 03-01-2004 01:06 PM

Liberal

Liberals…

Are wary of American arrogance and hypocrisy
Trace much of today's anti-American hatred to previous US foreign policies.
Believe political solutions are inherently superior to military solutions
Believe the US is morally bound to intervene in humanitarian crises
Oppose American imperialism
Support international law, alliances, and agreements
Encourage US participation in the UN
Believe US economic policies must help lift up the world's poor
Historical liberal: President Woodrow Wilson

Modern liberal: President Jimmy Carter

russotto 03-01-2004 01:06 PM

I came out as a "Realist". Which as we know is a pessimist who has been proved right too often.

Radar 03-01-2004 03:24 PM

It claims I'm an isolationist which I've been accused of before but that's bullshit.

Isolationists don't want to trade or deal with any foreign countries. I am all for maintaining trade, making peace treaties that don't include promising to use our military to defend any nation but our own, etc.

The simple truth is the US Military is not here to defend any nation but America and even then only when we are attacked. The fastest way to start a world war is through entangling alliances and complicated treaties. WWI showed us that these sort of treaties cause a dispute between a couple of nations to pull dozens of other nations into it and cause millions upon millions to die.

Being a military non-interventionist and an anti-imperialists doesn't make you an isolationist.

Troubleshooter 03-01-2004 03:43 PM

It said I was a liberal.

Maybe in a classical (Founding Father) sort of way.

xoxoxoBruce 03-01-2004 03:48 PM

Liberal. It's wrong.

Radar 03-01-2004 03:49 PM

I got liberal as my 2nd one and I agree with you. I"m not a liberal in any sense of the word other than a classic liberal (Libertarian). I'm also not a conservative.

Truth.

OnyxCougar 03-01-2004 08:54 PM

Isolationist

The term isolationist is most often used negatively; few people who share its beliefs use it to describe their own foreign policy perspective. They believe in "America first." For them, national sovereignty trumps international relations. Many unions, libertarians, and anti-globalization protesters share isolationist tenets.

Isolationists…

Are wary of US involvement in the United Nations
Oppose international law, alliances, and agreements
Believe the US should not act as a global cop
Support trade practices that protect American workers
Oppose liberal immigration
Oppose American imperialism
Desire to preserve what they see as America's national identity and character

Historical isolationist: President Calvin Coolidge
Modern isolationist: Author/Commentator Pat Buchanan

I've always known I was an isolationist.

richlevy 03-04-2004 09:54 PM

Liberal.

Actually, I consider my self moderate-liberal. Which, considering how far right the administration is swinging, probably counts as liberal.

xoxoxoBruce 03-05-2004 05:36 PM

I'm sure.:p

elSicomoro 03-06-2004 01:14 PM

Based on your answers, you are most likely a liberal.

No! Stop lying! Ya think?!

slang 03-07-2004 03:33 AM

What exactly is an Agrarian Nationalist?

elSicomoro 03-07-2004 08:26 AM

You.

slang 03-07-2004 02:12 PM

yah, but how'd they know that just from the test? "They" are probably monitoring my internet messages.

elSicomoro 03-07-2004 02:46 PM

They already know everything about you...why do you think you've went through the job spell that you have?

xoxoxoBruce 03-07-2004 10:57 PM

Shhh, don't talk about his employment, or he might get pissed and leave.;)

elSicomoro 03-07-2004 10:58 PM

Or shoot me...hell, that's fine. All you'll be doing is helping Rho pay off my debts and give me a nice sendoff.

Shit, how do I know that you're really in Bedford County? You could live right next door to me for all I know...

warch 03-11-2004 03:52 PM

Liberal. surprise!

godwulf 03-14-2004 11:46 PM

"Liberal".

There's a surprise. Of course all of the questions dealt with U.S. foreign policy, ey?

If they'd been about social issues, I'd have probably gotten a much more 'worthy' label...like maybe "Moderate Libertarian Mouthbreather".

Neocon Quiz
 
Yeah, I cam out Ralist, bitter is more like it, we love our country, but we also see how the Government dumps on us....Were don't see things through red, white & blue tinted glasses, but you better stay out of our backyard or else too......

xoxoxoBruce 03-15-2004 06:54 PM

Welcome to the Cellar PB, I see you've already met the real world.;)

tmcl 03-20-2004 07:15 AM

No, I'm not! I came out isolationist. The discription probably fits me the best of all the discriptions there, but bear in mind that I'm Australian not American.

xoxoxoBruce 03-20-2004 07:29 AM

Welcome to the Cellar, tmcl.:)
What are you vehemently denying? Isolationist or something else?
We like Aussies here, they are some of the best members.

tmcl 03-20-2004 06:28 PM

Thanks for the welcome :)

I'm denying being a neo-con, which is, after all, what the thread is named.

classicman 09-01-2008 10:09 AM

Bump

I'd like to find this quiz - anyone know what happened to it? The link didn't work.

wolf 09-01-2008 12:20 PM

You're probably better off with the Political Compass.

DanaC 09-02-2008 02:52 PM

I think it's pretty safe to say I'm not.

lookout123 09-02-2008 02:53 PM

yes you are and you hate america. anyone who disagrees with what i know is obviously mentally retarded.

damn, i've got to quit reading radar's posts. i think it's contagious.

Actually not that safe. The guys who founded the movement were disenchanted lefties.

DanaC 09-02-2008 03:30 PM

Fair point. But, do I sound like I am moving to the right?

lookout123 09-02-2008 03:30 PM

i'll getcha movin' to the right, ya manc tart.

Sorry to interupt kids, don't do anything I wouldn't do...

lookout123 09-02-2008 03:55 PM

if that's what it takes.;)

regular.joe 09-02-2008 05:53 PM

Just like my friends, it says I'm a liberal.

I'll try that one again - I'm just so friggin fed up with these two "candidates" already.

ZenGum 09-02-2008 10:09 PM

I stopped taking these quizes. The last one told me I was a lesbian.
I mean, sure, I think about sex with women, but still...

Yeah, it didn't work for me either. I guess I'll just have to go on being a liberal with right wing tendencies.

classicman 09-03-2008 07:32 AM

Its rather strange - most people have the opinion that I am much farther right than I really am.

Then why do you find UG posts so acceptable?

classicman 09-03-2008 12:53 PM

At what point did I say they were or weren't? Are you making assumptions again?

lookout123 09-03-2008 12:54 PM

you know what they say about assumptions - "tw is an ass".

DanaC 09-03-2008 02:52 PM

*laughs* ok, I don't normally like the little snipes, but that was fucking funny.

How many times must I post something before you grasp it. Oh. Neocon. Sorry, now I understand.

DanaC 09-03-2008 03:34 PM

What? I am bemused. Classicman is not a neo-con. Wtf are you talking about tw?

lookout123 09-03-2008 03:35 PM

I'm too lazy to quote myself, but I stand by my earlier statement.

I always smile at the handicapped. it's the neighborly thing to do.
