What Makes a Liberal??

Volumes of research have gone into what makes someone a liberal. Truth is, no one really knows. No one knows what causes someone to become a liberal. Maybe it's the parents to blame, or maybe it's the school system, or even popular music and the movie industry is really to blame.

Whoever is to blame, something needs to be done about this terrible problem. The first step to solving the problem, is to admit you have a problem in the first place.

Do you think you might be a liberal? Are you confused as to what a liberal is? Don't worry. Take the following test.  Calculate your score, and see where you fit.  If you find out that you are a liberal, advice for overcoming this problem will be included.

The Liberal Test

 You are questioning if you are a liberal.  That's fine.  We all go through times in our life where we question where we fit, or we see some strange new disorder and think, I think I might have that...  So, I have devised an easy online test that anyone can take to find out if they are indeed a liberal or not.  Steps for calculating your score will follow the questions.

Question One

Do you feel the beliefs (or lack of beliefs) of a small number are more worthy of protecting than the beliefs of the majority of the population?

  • yes, all the people who do not believe in any god need to be protected from those that do.
  • no, I recognize the fact that 90% of the people in the U.S. believe in some form of a god.
  • I'm confused...

Question Two

Do you feel that the rights of animals are more important than the rights of people?

  • yes, animals are people, too. PETA forever!
  • no, animals are great, but people are more important.
  • animals are cute!!

Question Three

Do you spout off your thoughts and opinions to anyone who will listen, and sometimes to people who don't want to hear it?

  • Yes, but my opinions are more valid, so they need to be heard
  • No, but I do enjoy a healthy debate every now and then.
  • I love lamp

Question Four

Do you refuse to admit when you are wrong, and even when faced with evidence that you are wrong, still cling to your opinions?

  • Yes, of course, I am never wrong, so this question makes no sense
  • No, I can admit when I am wrong
  • I don't understand....
See results without voting

Question Five

Are you a celebrity with the IQ of a toaster?

  • Yes, don't you recognize me?
  • No, I am not a celebrity
  • What is the IQ of a toaster? I need to compare my score.
See results without voting

Question Six

Are you a fan of either The View, MSNBC, or Rosie O'Donnell?

  • Yes, at least one of these or more
  • No, not really a fan of any of them
  • I eat paste
See results without voting

Question Seven

Do you feel that everyone owes you something, or that you should be given something for nothing?

  • Yes, I even think you owe me something
  • No, I feel you should earn what you have
  • Is that like the opposite of thinking everyone's out to get you??

Tallying Up Your Score

If you answered 'yes' to three or more of these questions, you are, indeed, a liberal.  The number you answered yes to indicates to what degree you are a liberal.  The fewer 'yes' answers you gave, the more moderate you are.  The more 'yes' answers you have, the more extreme you are. 

 If you answered yes to all the questions, you are a left-wing nut, and should be locked away for your the protection of yourself, and those around you. 

 If you answered 'yes' to two or fewer questions, rest assured, you are safe, and you are not a liberal, though you may need to be aware that you do have some liberal tendencies, and may want to look into ways to protect yourself from further left leanings. 

If you answered 'no' to all of the questions, you are not a liberal, and should have no problem avoiding the stigma of becoming one.  You should be proud of yourself!!  Good for you!!

If you chose the third option for any of these questions, you probably are a liberal.  Either that, or you recognize this Hub for what it is;  a silly joke, and not to be taken seriously. 


If You Have Found Out That You Are A Liberal

 How did you do?  If you found out that you are a liberal, you may be concerned.  You may be unsure of what to do at this point.  What kind of life could you possibly have?  How can you face your friends?  What will your family think?  I am sure there are a lot of questions running through your head right now.

I can't answer all of them.  I am sorry.  I can guide you in the right direction.  Rent some old movies, where family values actually meant something.  Eat a hamburger (they are not bad for you, as long as you don't scarf down 20 of them a day).  Go to church!  Pay your taxes (I know this may seem kind of scary, but it's kind of the law, despite what some recent Cabinet appointees seem to think). 

These are just some simple things you can do to curb your liberal tendencies.  If this fails, seek the help of a professional.  They may be able to guide you to a support group, twelve step program, or individual therapy that might help you out.

I guess according to your test, I am a liberal, but I still hate everyone and would like to inspire mass calamity.

I should also mention, I think I can do tests like this all day, I mean night, what time is it now?

GT-- Best of luck inspiring mass calamity!! If anyone can do it, you can! I don't know what time it is...I am far too tired to even look. I guess that means it's night, or early morning. Either way, it's bedtime!! Goodnight, good morning, g'day.

Anna Marie, Cute hub! Loved question #7. Now you should do another one to check if people are Conservative. The best people, IMHO, are neither Liberal nor Conservative.

I love animals, and I care about endangered species, but I hate PETA. How come you don't have that choice available? PETA doesn't put animals first. I don't think their agenda is even about animals.

LMAO! I chose the third option on each question so I guess that makes me a basket case.

I agree with Aya, peta is not about animals. I love animals too, but geesh, these guys are crazy.

yes! I am a liberal !!! and proud of it ,so please do not send me to church or force me to pay taxes... in fact, do not even force me to think too much (it can cause wrinkles) I'll invite you to next party if that makes it better :)

This test was obviously not for old people. After the fourth question, I can't remember how I voted on the first.

We should leave room for the possibility that God thinks animals are more important than we are, probably, although I voted with my species on this particular occasion.

Nice hub! I know a few liberals with the IQ of a toaster... which reinforces my tendencies to run screaming from the left side. Obama, however is a smart cookie. He has the IQ of a blender.

Elena-- Thanks! I had fun with this one! No need to tell how you voted!!

C. C.-- Glad you got a kick out of the posters!! The contortionist one is pretty funny!

Aya-- I agree! I hate PETA! I feel animals should be treated well, not beaten or abused, but they seemed to have lost their message (and their minds) somewhere along the way. Maybe I will do one about being conservative. I did this as an answer to a request. I didn't see one for conservative, but I could throw something together.

gwendy-- Pretty sure you aren't a basket case.

Princessa-- I would never want to cause anyone wrinkles! I do love a good party! Can't promise to behave myself, though. I love poking fun at liberals, and anyone else. LOL!

Tom-- This test is for everyone!!! Young and old, alike! As far as the possibility that God thinks animals are more important...that depends on what God you believe in. You may be right. Maybe God is a giant golden toad, and toads are really the creature He made in His image...then again...

Amy-- I know a lot of people with the IQ of a toaster, and most of them are liberals. Glad to hear that Obama has a slightly higher IQ. Blenders have more settings, therefore must be smarter.

Liberalism as I understand It means basically anything goes . And that to me brings about the crumble of society. I am an Independent . My IQ i am reasonably sure Is at least equivalent to a WII system ! And may I say political correctness says that If you stand for what you believe then you are Insensitive ogre. People are getting offended left and right and from where I sit we seem to have lost our backbone !

And to princessa liberals are all about more taxes ,that Is the only solution they have to any problem . I know I live In California !However princessa I will bring the beer to the party !

I couldn't agree more, tony! This was meant to be taken lightly, it really was more of a joke, but I agree!! Hey, look at it this way, we may not have to worry about it too much longer. We will be a socialist country before to long, and after that, historically, is communism!! Aren't you excited?

I was told many years ago:

That a conservative was a liberal who had been mugged.

A liberal was one who always kept the "car of state" in DRIVE and a conservative wanted to pull over, park, and save gas, but he wanted to own the parking lot.

I prefer to be an independent. I like to think for myself instead of relying on people like GWB or Bill and Hillary Clinton. I believe in birth control, but not gun control. I can't see turning this country into a welfare state, but I resist the destruction of the middle class through the economic manipulations of the CFR.

I enjoyed your test. I know I am not liberal nor conservative.

Actually you labor under some incorrect assumptions. First there are not just liberal and conservative people. There are liberals, conservatives, and neocons who have taken away the Republican party from the conservative types, like Pat Buchanan. They are dangerous empire builders and Buchanan has written against their provocations of Russia.

Some liberals, like Kucinich agree with libertarians, like Jesse Ventura, that George Bush allowed 9/11.
