How liberal are you?

I know this is just for entertainment purposes, but it still is a bit offensive to me, mainly in that it gives you only two choices for each question. I think the majority of people, given a number of choices ranging from most coservative to most liberal, will choose something in middle give or take a little - at least for many issues. Look at the last elections, all of which have been fairly close to 50/50. You could believe that it's 50% very liberal democrats and 50% very conservative republicans, but that wouldn't be accurate. I think this is part of the problem with political discourse in our country. We've allowed the people who are trying to represent the true ideals on either side take control of the argument and the vast majority of people in this country who are reasonable are left with a false dichotomy. If given the chance, the "grey area" in the middle is something that I think most people are smart enough to grapple with. I don't think everything is a black and white issue, but unfortunately many times in the U.S., that's the only choice we are given...

Absolutely, I actually think the largest majority of people are right in the middle (I cheated the quiz above for blogworthy reasons). Ever since the fall of the Berlin wall political parties became outdated and should suffer some kind of reshuffle. Unfortunately I don't think the system is that flexible. Where are the right and the left today after all, certainly not where they used to be.
