The Malkin Test

Rob Booth took Malkin's test and shared the results. Although I normally don't like Left or Rightness perspectiveness because looking at the world through a Conservative vs Libral point of view is way to restricive. Points of views such as repect for privacy and freedom have little to do with leftness or rightness. but tests can be sorta fun, and they can be revealing so I gave it my best shot.

1. I have never voted for a Democrat in my life.

Well, I lived in Brockton Mass, for a while. The Republican party has been made all but illegal there. I know its hard for some Republicans to believe, but occassionally a lazy, crooked, or incompetent Republican will show up on the ballot. I thinks its safe to say I have voted for 4 or 5 Democrats in my 30 year voting career. Not for a major office that I can think of. I will normally vote for the Libertarian if there is one.

2. I think my taxes are too high.

They are ridiculously high.

3. I supported Bill Clinton's impeachment.

And it was about breaking the law, not about sex

4. I voted for President Bush in 2000.

I did not, I voted for Libertarian. Bush was a lock in Texas, I threw my support to the Libertarians. They needed it. Bush Didn't. I will likely do the same thing this November, unless Texas looks uncomfortably close. (fat chance)

5. I am a gun owner.

I own 2 flintlocks, I guess that counts. I didn't know that owning a gun had anything to with supporting the right to own one nor the right to protect onesself. I believe that everyone has the the right to protect themselves an their family. I think that everyone neccessarily should.

6. I support school voucher programs.

Yes, but the supported schools need to meet certain standards, and the the voucher program should be strutcured to save the school systems money.

7. I oppose condom distribution in public schools.

Yes

8. I oppose bilingual education.

No, Its the school system's job to "mainstream" all the students as efficiently as possible. If billingual education is a part of this proccess, thats OK.

9. I oppose gay marriage.

No. It doesn't matter to me. It doesn't have any effect on my marriage.

10. I want Social Security privatized.

Yes, but not entirely.

11. I believe racial profiling at airports is common sense.

Within reason. Not all terrorist are Arab looking. Not all Arabs are
terrorist.

12. I shop at Wal-Mart.

But I don't like it, and I make efforts to avoid them. I think Walmart suports
the Chi-Coms to much.

13. I enjoy talk radio.

I enjoy it, and hate it too.

14. I am annoyed when news editors substitute the phrase "undocumented person" for "illegal alien."

Newspeak sucks

15. I do not believe the phrase "a chink in the armor" is offensive.

I don't think the armor minds

16. I eat meat.

Of course

17. I believe O.J. Simpson was guilty.

Yup

18. I cheered when I learned that Saddam Hussein had been captured.

I must have seemed an idiot, but I did and loudly

19. I cry when I hear Proud To Be an American by Lee Greenwood.

The song is OK, but it doesn't make me cry.

20. I don't believe The New York Times.

I don't believe the Chronicle either, not even Drudge. :)

I got 15 yes 5 no ..
