Izmud: Squishy Conservatism
Correspondent Izmud left a comment after a long hiatus. I'm glad to see him back. Welcome! He comments:
He refers to this post. I have to admit that I didn't like some of the choices either, although I scored a 35 (the higher the score, the more conservative the participant.) I suspect Izmud is much further up the scale, naturally inclined toward a 45 (40 is the max), which puts him only five points behind Hitler.
Nonetheless, his published score puts him in line between Colin Powell and Bush XLI: a squishy-soft, fence-sitting "moderate." You know the type: right between "don't kill too many of the enemy when we go to war" and "let's raise taxes more than any Democrat in history" after promising "no new taxes."
Let's build a political quiz of our own, with real choices like:
"Which better describes your attitude toward foreign policy:"
A _ Fascist jackbooted Amerikkka deserved 9/11
B - Kill them all; let God sort them out
My answer is "B"

Izmud scored 22 -- very interesting. I didn't like some of the choices.
