WTF? I took the quiz and it said I was a liberal? I thought for sure I was a neocon or isolationist.

I guess I'll have to move to MA and get married.

"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 "




the only issue woody could be called a liberal on is believing in the "Encourage US participation in the UN" point.

Christ on Crutches! Some people will accept information from any kook as long as it says what they think. Christian Science Monitor? Isn’t that that fake denomination crated by a sci-fi writer? Hubble? Humper? Hubert?

Next thing ya know the left will be using Art Belle quotes in policy construction.

Well, we've seen the Oldcons and the Neocons... and now that Chalabi has been exposed we apparently have a new species: the Naivecons.

Oblique Gordon Liddy reference --- He was in prison for about 4 years, right?

Neocons on a Cruise: What Conservatives Say When They Think We Aren't Listening

The Iraq war has been an amazing success, global warming is just a myth and Guantanamo Bay is practically a holiday camp. The annual cruise organized by the 'National Review,' is a parallel universe populated by straight-talking, gun-toting, God-fearing neocons.

read it.....you'll be amazed

"You must live near the UN building," the Floridian says to one of the New York ladies after the entree is served. Yes, she responds, shaking her head wearily. "They should suicide-bomb that place," he says. They all chuckle gently. How did that happen? How do you go from sweet to suicide-bomb in six seconds?

another good one
They rush through the Rush-list of liberals who hate America, who want her to fail, and I ask them - why are liberals like this? What's their motivation? They stutter to a halt and there is a long, puzzled silence. " It's a good question," one of them, Martha, says finally. I have asked them to peer into the minds of cartoons and they are suddenly, reluctantly confronted with the hollowness of their creation. "There have always been intellectuals who want to tell people how to live," Martha adds, to an almost visible sense of relief. That's it - the intellectuals! They are not like us. Dave changes the subject, to wash away this moment of cognitive dissonance. "The liberals don't believe in the constitution. They don't believe in what the founders wanted - a strong executive," he announces, to nods. A Filipino waiter offers him a top-up of his wine, and he mock-whispers to me, "They all look the same! Can you tell them apart?"

You know Tilt the only people I know talking about killing or injuring people are the left talking about the right...but then I guess that is the power of LIBBIE press.
