You Might be a Leftist If...

First off, apologizes. I know I haven't been blogging all that much lately, but life is well, life. It doesn't slow down even when you finally get your Graduate Degree and actually begin to use said degree. I've been on a mini-hiatus here as of late for myriad of reasons, not the least of which is that I have been busy. I have had time to peruse some of the more excellent blogs out there and I have come across some gems of posting, but I haven't had the time to post them here and/or engage in the fisk, which Bane thinks I do to much of. Meh, he's probably right, but the fisk is easy when you run across sure signs of iditotarianism, plus it's hard not to do, especially to some of the more anti-American posts by our good friends over at the Democratic Underground. Remember, in order to be a member in good standing over at DU you must believe that all Americans are stupid, well those who do not vote for liberal Democrats at least. Also, in order to be a good member in good standing with Democratic Underground you must believe all conservatives are evil and wish to do nothing more than spread fascism all across the country. In other words, in order to be a member in good standing with the Democratic Underground, you have to be a Barking Moonbat.

Which brings me to the purpose of this post. Steve of Norway, a net-friend of a net-friend as it were, has come up with a test to see if you are a member of the Liberal Loony Left (LLL). Read all the questions, and as our good friend, Clark, likes to say, "Answer Honestly".



1) The United States has killed more people than:

a) The Soviet Union
b) Communist China
c) Neither
d) Both A & B

2) Tax Cuts have never done anything for the economy because:

a) The rich hoard all their ill-gotten money and don't share it with anyone
b) The poor pay too much in taxes and therefore can't buy more lottery tickets and booze
c) The rich don't pay enough in taxes, so therefore tax cuts are evil
d) Both a & b
e) Both a & c
f) None of the above

3) The War on Iraq was nothing but a war for oil, and because of this:

a) It was evil
b) It was very evil
c) It was nothing more than a payback by George W Bush & Dick Cheney for their oil companies buddies
d) It was merely to show the middle east we weren't going to back down and wanted to show the Saudis, the Syrians and Iran we meant business
e) a & b
d) a, b & c
e) None of the above

4) People who drive SUV's should:

a) Be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for destroying the planet
b) Should have to pay a $10,000 luxury tax
c) Should have nothing done to them since anyone who buys a $30-$40,000 vehicle contributes a lot to the economy
d) a, b & c
e) c
f) None of the above
g) Both a & b

5) Everything you've read about communism is wrong because:

a) It's a beautiful idea
b) It's never harmed a soul
c) It's partly incorrect. Sure, communist countries have had the gulags, mass starvations, the killing of millions and millions of dissenters, and the reversing of their economies... but those are all necessary to achieve the desired result of heaven on earth
d) Karl Marx always wanted a country like the United States to implement his ideals, since it was probably the only place it could work
e) Joseph Stalin was misunderstood
f) All of the above

Answers:

1) D - Come on, the United States is a fascist regime! You should know that answer by heart!

2) E - You're a cruel heartless being if you even thought about including B! How dare you judge the poor! It's not their fault!

3) D - It was ALL about OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you need a refresher course or something? OIL, OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And evil!

4) G - We should be driving electric cars. You realize GM and Ford have an engine that runs on water don't you? It's not seen the light of day because there's a conspiracy with the oil companies to keep it out of cars. And people who drive SUV's are brainwashed into buying them because of the Scent D6-XM-1, it's the additive you smell when you pump gasoline. It's specifically formulated to make you go out and buy an SUV. Otherwise, no sane person would buy one of those things.

5) F - Communism, the unknown ideal. I think Ann Rained said something like that. Or was his Arn Rand? I don't know, she wrote some book about money or business....well something EVIL no doubt. Something sinister...so just relax and pray for communism to get it's chance. Someday.

Thanks to Steve of Norway and also of Drumwaster's Rants for coming up with the LLL quiz. If you answered the questions the way they were answered above, then what in the blue hell are you doing here? You would be better off reading the posts by your fellow Barking Moonbats over at The Democratic Underground. So go and waste oxygen over there.
