This is fun- and it put me right in to pragmatic liberal, which is where I belong:

Classified me as a new deal liberal. Since many of the questions lacked a choice that fit me, I'm not at all certain what it means.

Based on the answers you submitted, you would be classified as a New Deal Liberal.

I punted on the quiz because a lot of the questions contain logical fallicies.

10) Which of the following views comes closest to your opinion on the issue of school prayer? Just give me the number of your choice.

1. By law, prayers should not be allowed in public schools.
2. The law should allow public schools to schedule time when children can prayer silently if they want to.
3. The law should allow public schools to schedule time when children as a group, can say a general prayer not tied to a particular religious faith
4. By law, public schools should schedule a time when all children would say a chosen Christian prayer

-----------------------

This omits the option of students choosing to engage in prayer at non-scheduled times, such as during lunch.

-----------------------

8) There has been some discussion about abortion during recent years. Which one of the following opinions best agrees with your view?

By law, abortion should never be permitted.
The law should permit abortion ONLY in case of rape, incest or when the woman's life is in danger.
The law should permit abortion for reasons OTHER THAN rape, incest or danger to the woman's life, but only after the need for the abortion has been clearly established.
By law, a woman should always been able to obtain an abortion as a matter of personal choice.

-------------------------

None of those choices reflects the current state of the law, why not have a choice that reflects the current law? It is the equivalent of a "push poll."

I'm pragmatic liberal, too. No wonder LindyBill banned me! ;^)
