On my favorite “blow hard's” radio program, he presented a segment called, "Are you worried you might be a liberal?" He invited listeners to call in to share up to three views they thought might be liberal views to determine the matter. Several frantic callers dialed in to get psycho-analyzed.
Here’s my version of, “Are you worried you might be a liberal?” It’s called: “What is s/he (liberal, conservative, libertarian, etc.)?”
Person #1: I believe the only thing federal government should do is provide security from foreign threats. The only thing state government should do is protect us from threats within. If this can't be accomplished within the current political process, I think we should take up arms to accomplish these goals.
What is he? A conservative, a liberal, or something else?
Person #2: I believe that the federal government should control all energy, education, security, wages, commerce, capital, infrastructure, healthcare and environmental policies. States should protect us from threats within, and should govern our open spaces. If this can't be accomplished within the current political process, I think we should take up arms to accomplish these goals.
What is he/she? A conservative, a liberal, or something else?
