Test your right-wing quotient.

The following survey tests the strength of your conservative ideological leanings. Get a pencil and paper and, for each statement, write down whether or not you agree with it. The scoring chart can be found at the end of the test.

  • The United States invaded Iraq because Saddam Hussein clearly had "weapons of mass destruction", and the fact that no one has ever been able to find them just proves how tricky and devious Saddam really was.
  • Things are going well in Iraq, and the increasing death toll of Coalition forces simply shows that the insurgents are getting more "desperate" and are in their "last throes".
  • War is a messy and unpleasant business that can result in the injury or death of other peoples' loved ones, but that's a chance you and your fighting keyboard are willing to take.
  • (For men only.) It's absolutely unconscionable that former president Bill Clinton lied to the American public about a blowjob since nothing is more damaging to the health and well-being of the Republic than someone getting what you've only ever dreamed about.
  • In the interests of academic fairness, it's only fair that public schools now begin to teach "Intelligent Design", to give students an alternative to actual science.
  • While it was entirely appropriate to spend tens of millions of dollars to dig into every corner of BIll and Hillary Clinton's life to impeach him, it's absolutely outrageous that Democrats in the Senate are demanding documents regarding Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' legal opinions so they can figure out what he thinks, legally speaking.
  • It's important to introduce legislation to ban same-sex marriage since it represents a clear threat to the dignity and sanctity of your current marriage. Or perhaps one of your previous ones.
  • Given that the main goal of the homicidal, Islamofascist terrorists is to deprive Americans of their precious freedoms, the most important thing Americans can do to help in the War on Terror is to renew the Patriot Act, which involves Americans giving up most of their precious freedoms voluntarily. That'll show those terrorists who's in charge.
  • It's vitally important to re-introduce Christian prayer back into the public school system, so America can return to those earlier, happier times when you could still have a bunch of fun with a tree, a rope and a random black person.
Scoring legend:

For each statement you agree with, give yourself a point and calculate the total. If you scored exactly zero, then you have a strong propensity for liberal, left-wing thinking, probably combined with an environmental streak and a longing for social justice.

If your score is one or higher, you are so reading the wrong blog and should instead be out spray-painting a rebel flag on the back of your pickup truck and checking the movie listings for the next showing of "The Dukes of Hazzard." Yee ha.

Can you add this one:

Leftwing creeps who critize the President for not attending the funerals of the U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq need to get a life. How can he run the country if all he's doing is going to funerals? Families of the dead soldiers need to realize that their loved ones have died honorably and that should be enough comfort for them. This means you, Cindy Sheehan.

I'm guessing catherine scored a sweet 8 on that test. (Thanks to the one question for men only)

You know what the left-wingers are critisizing? That the president hasn't attended *A* funeral. Not one.

If you think that's fine, then so be it. I do not believe it so.

Um ... I'm guessing that Catherine was being satirical.

Thank God. Apparently there's something about your blog that renders your readers blind to sarcasm. :D Though that was rather well-disguised. Or perhaps I'm just slow today...
