Two-Party System Has Failed the U.S.A.

[Darlene]

As for the quiz, it is flawed in that it does not highlight those issues which truly separate one group from another.

For example, it does not ask people if they would like to abolish the FDA and child labor laws and workplace safety laws, and it does not ask if they would like to legalize crack cocaine. This would reveal the real differences between Libertarians and everyone else.

The quiz is basically making this kind of mistake: "Do you like ice cream? Republicans like ice cream, too!"

Not every issue on the planet can be included in a quiz like that.

The OP is merely a lament the far right reactionaries will never control the American government, which is good new for all of us.

I just love it when someone invents a highly flawed political quiz and then someone takes that quiz for famous people and decides how those famous people would have answered the questions on that flawed quiz. Then other retards post the results on the internet.

And what makes you think this quiz is flawed? You are using the term "retard" incorrectly and many people may take offense to that.

I am bringing back "retard". Don't be such a PC pussy.

Don't be an asshole. Its not the PC world that has deemed the term retard offensive to use plainly.

Don't spaz out on me now!

I'm not the one spazzing out. I'm not going to stoop to your level and argue with someone who is immature enough to call people retards.

Lame excuse. It is not hard to ask questions about the biggest things which separate one group from another.

The test deliberately chooses not to draw attention to those things. It is made to make a tiny fringe group look more mainstream than it really is. It convinces the fringe retards they are more popular than they are.

"Do you have two arms? We whackjobs have two arms, too! Woo hoo!"

Retard is as retard does. I call them like I see them.
