My favorite history prof once gave a quiz at the beginning of the school year. He first ask us to write at the top of our paper if we were Republican, Democrat, Socialist, etc.... Then we took a quiz and from that we found that many of us fell into the socialist category. The questions were based on the manifestos for each political party. One man got really angry, shouted at the prof. and stormed out of the class. Never did see that guy again. Personally, I thought it was interesting that what we think we really are is not who we really are. Labels and our personal views don't always match.
In the below quiz.... I found that I have not changed since the last time I took one of these quizzes.... years ago. I knew I was a middle of the roader, although can't accuse me of being soft on crime.
Now Hubby.... he claims to be a conservative redneck and I am sure if he took this quiz.... he would score so far to the right that he would be off the scale. lol
Have fun taking the quiz. You might be surprised where you fall on the line of liberal to conservative.

In regard to the Modesto Bee, do you have the same reactions to the reporting done by Fox News. They too only report what they want you to hear. News bias is nothing new.
Gorbachev's affection for Reagan might be a negative drag for conservatives rather than a positive one. After all, he was a dreaded Communist wasn't he?

How Liberal Or Conservative Are You?

According to political theory, cultures evolve through various levels of socio-economic formats. An agrarian-based, dictatorship is the beginning, slowly moving through republican democracy and moving on toward socialism and communism. The reason the above stated have failed is they did not evolve. They started with a poor, illiterate, primarily agrarian-based society and tried to force their societies into socialism. Selfishness and high-mindedness takes over for the "elite" and they start to abuse their people.
Socialism is able to function properly when a democratic society has reached a level of economic and social security in a way to allow for a redistribution of wealth so those that are less fortunate are not left in the gutters. The society cares for the ill and poor in a way that does not place a drain on the society as a whole, but still allows for all people to have the things they need.
