You say that as if it's a bad thing and I should be embarrassed. I'm bothered that I didn't show more right. Then I started to think about it. This test is designed to purposely skew the results and push people to the left. For example:
Abortion, when the woman's life is not threatened, should always be illegal.
I happen to think that rape and incest should be included as legitimate reasons for abortion. The fact that they were not included in the question caused me to choose "disagree" to the question which automatically pushes me to the left.
Denial? About what? Where our leaders stand according to this test? I doubt any of them took it. Someone has plugged in answers for them and then ranked them accordingly. If President Obama were to take this test personally and anonymously I suspect his ranking would be far different than shown.
Regarding my Republican cronies, according to the test I am nothing like them so how can they be my cronies?
Just admit to everyone already that you are a rabid Ron Paul supporter and this thread was more about drumming up support for him as well as justifying your position that he would make a great president. I'm curious however what you think about his stance on separation of church and state?
You crack me up. I am a Ron Paul supporter but I am far from a rabid Ron Paul supporter. I love his ideas on a constitutional government, free markets, and only declared wars. But some of his stuff is just to far right for me. As far as church and state I looked up his position. "Paul believes that prayer in public schools should not be prohibited at the federal or state level, nor should it be made compulsory to engage in.[141][142]
In a December 2003 article entitled "Christmas in Secular America", Paul wrote:
The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders' political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government's hostility to religion. The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life. The Founding Fathers envisioned a robustly Christian yet religiously tolerant America, with churches serving as vital institutions that would eclipse the state in importance. Throughout our nation's history, churches have done what no government can ever do, namely teach morality and civility. Moral and civil individuals are largely governed by their own sense of right and wrong, and hence have little need for external government. This is the real reason the collectivist Left hates religion: Churches as institutions compete with the state for the people's allegiance, and many devout people put their faith in God before putting their faith in the state. Knowing this, the secularists wage an ongoing war against religion, chipping away bit by bit at our nation's Christian heritage. Christmas itself may soon be a casualty of that war."[143]
In 2005, Paul introduced the We the People Act, which would have removed "any claim involving the laws, regulations, or policies of any State or unit of local government relating to the free exercise or establishment of religion" from the jurisdiction of federal courts.[144] If made law, this provision would purportedly permit state, county, and local governments to decide whether to allow displays of religious text and imagery, but would not interfere with the application of relevant federal law.[citation needed]
Paul has sponsored a constitutional amendment which would allow students to pray privately in public schools, but would not allow anyone to be forced to pray against their will or allow the state to compose any type of prayer or officially sanction any prayer to be said in schools.[145]"
I have to say I don't think I disagree with any of that.
