Now is the time to score you answers. Give yourself 1 point for every A answer, 2 points for every B answer, 3 points for every C answer, and 4 points for every D answer.
A score between 15-25 means you are a Conservative/Right Wing.
A score between 26-37 means you are a Republican/Center Right.
A score between 38-49 means you are a Democrat/Center Left.
A score between 50-60 means you are a Liberal/Left Wing.
A score between 26-37 means you are a Republican/Center Right.
A score between 38-49 means you are a Democrat/Center Left.
A score between 50-60 means you are a Liberal/Left Wing.
Some of you will say that you are a moderate or an independent, but that is not likely true. A moderate is someone who just puts their finger in the air and goes with whatever is most popular. How many books have been written on the great moderates of the world? NONE! A true independent is someone who doesn’t take part in the political process. A true independent would not vote. The fact is people say they are independent because they don’t want to be labeled. But if they were honest they would agree that most of the time they either vote more Republican/Conservative or more Democrat/Liberal. There is not an independent party and those few in Washington that are independent currently vote with the Democrats 90% of the time. Not very independent.
Some of you will ask about Libertarian Party. The fact is Libertarian Party is not a viable party in American. Just like the Green Party, the Reform Party, the Socialist Party, the Communist Party, or Fascism these parties are not real options in America. And actually socialism and communism are types of economies and not political parties. The fact is we are a two party country and that is what this quiz is focused on. This quiz is focused on 90% of America and our general political beliefs.
Just because you are a Conservative or a Liberal doesn’t mean you will always vote Republican or Democrat. While you will vote mostly on those lines, a true Conservative will not vote for a RINO (Republican In Name Only). And a true Liberal will not support the Democrats if they go off the liberal political map. As an example in the 2008 election, I did not vote for John McCain. He was a RINO and I didn’t feel right voting for someone I didn’t support. Also primaries are the time when I can voice my conservative values. During the 2010 election in my Congressional District there were a lot of candidates for the 2nd District. The top two candidates were Travis Hankins who was the true Conservative and Todd Young the Republican Party favorite. I supported Travis with my vote, my money, and my time. When Todd Young won the primary, I did vote for him in the general election.
If you don’t agree with my answers, well too bad. Come up with your own quiz. This is the Chuck Baker Is Right Quiz. Now let me know…Are you a Conservative or a Liberal?
