Where are you on the grid?... — Page 2

I'm the same as our beloved Wynbish. But I ain't got no faith. In fact, I was actually angry when the 'which religion are you' question was posed and I was forced to choose 'none' because they didn't offer 'atheist.' I am a proud, out-of-the-closet atheist...don't make me say none!

I chose that I am an Episocpalian and didn't go to church last Sunday, but somehow I ended up smack dab in the center, neither left nor right.

I'm really shocked by that, since I consider myself a liberal. I'm pro choice, pro equality (marriage, race, etc.), I support full background checks on all gun owners, I think religious organizations have NO place in government or politics ... so how did I end up in the middle? It says I "worry how the economic system is becoming increasingly unfair," which is true. Yet I'm part of the New American Center.

So how could I be a "Pickup Populist," whatever the hell that is?

Something went wacky. I can't think of the last time I supported a Republican agenda or idea. That's ever.

I may not be a "bleeding heart liberal," but a liberal for sure.

Other than indicating I'm "occasionally religious" even though I think religious organizations should have zero say in government or politics ... I can't think of anything I answered that could swing me "reddish" or conservative.

I'm for taxing the rich, raising the minimum wage ... where's my "red" answer?

Wacky poll results.

I definitely think these results are swayed to establish their stance of a New American Middle.

My answers may be "common" or "popular" but they are not conservative by any means. Based on their scale, I answered just as many questions with a conservative answer as I did with a liberal one, which is far from true ... considering I don't think I gave them a single conservative answer. But I did give them a few extreme liberal answers: (no say in politics for regions organizations, absolutely raise taxes on the rich, marriage equally all the way, race equality all the way, etc. Some of my answers were in between, but none of them swung "red," even just a little bit, let alone extreme.

I should have been (at worst?) halfway between the extreme liberal and the center (or three-quarters liberal), but not dead center.

Oh, definitely! I was interested because I'm not what I would call an extreme liberal, because I do have a few (very few) moderate views. None of them could be considered conservative, though, which is why I can't see how mixing my extreme liberal views with my moderate views could land my squarely in the middle of their grid. I would have had to give an equal number of extremely conservative answers to do that. None were even slightly conservative, let alone extreme.

I enjoyed taking the quiz though. Good questions. I just wish the grid and the structure of the results were less biased on their own behalf.

I landed in the bleeding heart category, as well, and it's surprising. I am almost always leaning to the right side of the left.

Bleeding Heart. Shocker.

This "test" was absolutely biased to give a certain result- One question jumped out at me - something about taxes and the options included answers like "I think poor people should pay less taxes" and "I think everyone you pay their fair share of taxes no matter how poor they are."

"Fair share" is obviously a red herring- for many people, their "fair share" IS ZERO. "Fair share means just that- FAIR.

I took the longer quiz and didn't have one question regarding illegal immigration.

Probably just something else to get our email info....

I feel as though I answered a different set of questions. I mean, some of those mentioned above sound familiar, but just as many don't.

Minivan Moderate (but I refuse to drive a minivan).

Nope. I took the extended quiz and had no immigration questions.

I had no question like that either, and I took the extended quiz.
