Take the Quiz - Conservative or Liberal

Check the boxes that best describe your thinking:

O Benefits make people dependent on government and lazy.

[] Benefits keep our society healthy - keep us from becoming a third world nation.

O Income taxes are a burden imposed by an out-of-control government.

[] Income taxes are necessary to keep America strong, safe, and fair.

O America should have a small federal government; let states lead.

[] America needs a strong central government

O Make Christianity the official national religion

[] Keep religion out of government, religious freedom

O End immigration except from Europe, Asia on HB1 visas

[] Immigrants keep America strong-they work, pay taxes, brings new food, customs, ideas. They add vibrancy. Don't close our doors completely.

O America needs to isolate with trade and tariffs. Quit alliances. This is also about ending immigration

[] America needs to stay active on the world stage and honor our alliances and global institutions.

O Climate changes are not man-made, so we don't need solar or wind power. We can stay with fossil fuels.

[] Climate changes are affected by human activities, and humans can stop global warming and protect air, water (oceans too), flora and fauna.

O Schools are grooming children to be tolerant (woke) and are confusing children about gender. Literature (fiction) turns children into liberals by encouraging them to understand other classes and cultures. We need to teach children to focus on America, on economic success, on accepting authority. We need prayer back in schools. We need to teach Christian morality and values.

[] Schools are for teaching basic and advanced skills in reading, writing, and math - for learning history, economics, and world geography - for understanding political systems and world religions and other ideas necessary to a productive adult life in a complex world. Schools have to engage children's minds or education doesn't work. "You can lead a horse to water..."

O Women should not work. They should be submissive and have lots of children. Immoral practices like sexual freedom, birth control and abortion are causing higher crime rates, drug use, and male depression. We need nuclear families with one dominant male and one submissive female.

[] Women's brains are wired the same as men's brains and not all women are fulfilled by being mothers and housewives. Limiting female's roles frustrates women and cheats society of excellent workers and thinkers (scholars). Women should have rights equal to men and have control of their own bodies.

O Regulating capitalism is bad for the economy.

[] If capitalism isn't regulated the economy spirals from boom to recession to depression and the society becomes top heavy. Wealth turns into power and democracy is endangered.

O America should be run like a business.

[] America is a nation, not a business and requires more flexibility.

O America First - let other countries take care of their own people.

[] National boundaries are not actual barriers and all humans are interconnected. What happens in one location can affect others around the globe, e.g. germs do not have a nationality, they travel everywhere. Not all foreign aid is altruistic.

O The US President has unlimited powers.

[] If the US President has unlimited powers then we don't need Congress or the Supreme Court and we are not a democracy/republic. The US President does not have unlimited powers.

O Some books must be banned.

[] In a free society banning books is wrong.

Some Thoughts

That was the democracy we had. Right now, we are being governed by a Christian conservative philosophy, which may be unlike the Christianity you learned.

Think about what you love about America and what rules and laws both conservatives and liberals have made through compromise.

Think about what life in America will be like if liberal thoughts aren't allowed, if conservatives control the future of America.
