    Political Test

    NYT Political Party Quiz......I turned out +48D
    "You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

    I'm +75R (which I think is as far Republican as their quiz will let you be)
    "Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

      If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

      Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

        +42R

        Interesting how big of a role religion plays in this one, on my tree it moved the bar 40 points right.

          same for me, +48D
          It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

            I got a +48D as well, which seems to be as far left the score will go if you are a white male. I was expecting a more in-depth quiz. I agree that is seems very heavily weighted to one's religious beliefs or lack their of.

              Agree, looks like if you are a Black Female Older than 31 there's no need to ask further questions, you get the high score on the Dem side.

                I must have had an Andromeda Strain moment during the first attempt.

                  Congrats on your college degree! The rest of your answers stayed the same:

                  White
                  Says religion is not important
                  Straight
                  Attended College
                  Not protestant
                  Not catholic
                  Male

                  ..
                  With a college degree = 48D
                  Without a college degree = 31D

                    I don't understand why that would make such a difference.

                    But I guess it does..........

                      Hey, look at the bright side, at least your choices matter - the black female over 31 is just thrown into the 92D bucket for existing.

                        a +2 either way is more "extremist" than is my comfort zone, but...

                            It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.
