If you ever wondered whether you're a democrat or a Republican this is a great test !

Let's begin....

[TBP]

Difference? What difference?

[scripter]

Seems to an accurate test.

[BenLurkin]

That isn’t so much Democrat versus Republican as it is Statist versus American.

[ConorMacNessa]

Socialist and Socialist Lite. I cut loose from the Republican Party because I can't support a claque of flaccid appeasers.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

[X-spurt]

Found a tried and true test. A liberal once assaulted suddenly becomes much more conservative.

[Signalman]

I would have used “conservative” and “liberal” instead of “republican” and “democrat”.

[Fiddlstix]

It would be better if the "test" used the words 'conservative and liberal' instead of democrat and republican.
It is accurate as a test of conservative as compared to liberals.

The republicans in congress these days are a sorry lot.

[TexasKamaAina]

I already know the difference between republicans and democrats: one’s in and one’s out.

[Steve_Seattle]

I liked it, but libs could respond:

If a conservative doesn't like abortion, he wants to ban it. If a liberal doesn't like it, he allows it.

If a conservative doesn't like gay marriage, he wants to ban it. If a liberal doesn't like gay marriage, he allows it.

One rejoinder would be that libs APPROVE of abortion and gay marriage, so that their approval is no sign of tolerance for dissenting views or practices, but merely a ratification of what they already believe.

[Jemian]

I am neither.

[texgal]

You could easily substitute the word Muslim for democrat and the same would be true.
