The Christian Science Monitor website has a neocon quiz...it places you in a category based on your answers to questions relating only to US foreign policy.

Take the quiz here

What are you and what do you think I am based on our discussions here? After a while I'll reveal the true me.

300spartans · 10-03-2004, 08:48 PM

Liberal here, whew

CaramonLS · 10-03-2004, 09:02 PM

Liberal.

And dis you are a realist, even though you side with the Neo-Cons (GW & co.)

Cowperson · 10-03-2004, 09:22 PM

Realist for me.

Me and Ike.

They're labelling me as a liberal

Savvy27 · 10-03-2004, 09:40 PM

Liberal.

From our discussions I would guess that you are a neo-con, but its tough to say because I dont' know much about your views on Vietnam or Isreal. The line about feeling the US should be the only super power is basically why I picked that.

I wouldn't be suprised if you were a realist either though.

Weiser Wonder · 10-03-2004, 10:13 PM

It labeled me a "liberal" but I don't like how you could be chosen as a liberal or realist. You can very easily be both.

DFF is a realist no question about it.

What on earth have I ever said that gave you the impression that I think the US has to be the only Super Power (whatever that antiquated term means in today's world)?

Interesting.

I was pegged as a realist, and from reading the description that follows it, I can't argue with that philosophy. Makes it somewhat difficult for me to understand why I clash so much with those of you that lean a little further to the left. As Weiser said, there is lots of common ground there, but we don't seem to find much of it.

Liberal here....not surprised really.

Thunderball · 10-03-2004, 10:42 PM

I'm a realist as well...seems about right...Colin Powell and I are of like minds I guess, though I always said he was a smart guy...

Based on your answers, you are most likely a neoconservative. Read below to learn more about each foreign policy perspective.

Super-Rye · 10-03-2004, 11:11 PM

Isolationist lol! That's a good one.

Five-hole · 10-03-2004, 11:13 PM

Liberal.

I'm disappointed there wasn't a "worthless pinko commie" option for me to pick.

moon · 10-04-2004, 02:56 AM

Well Captain you are not alone.

I am a neo-con just like am thought I would and am certainly proud to be labled as.

transplant99 · 10-04-2004, 05:01 AM

Realist.

Lanny_MacDonald · 10-04-2004, 07:59 AM

Ended up Liberal, although I thought going in I was going to be isolationist. I don't like the answers to a lot of their questions. They don't have the option of "international cooperation" for enough questions and don't have enough "let the neighbors deal with it" either. The world has become a much smaller place, one where we need to become more reliant on each other for everything. No one country runs the global economy and no one country can be responsible for the world's security. If a country's neighbors are not in a tizzy about an issue, why should a country half way around the globe? Maybe that country half way around the globe should be doing some soul searching?

And those that ended up neo-cons, you won't mind if I come over to your house later and tell you how to lead your lives. Oh, and if you have any problems with that, I'll be bringing a few large friends armed with some rather large weapons. You WILL do what I say, because I know what is right for you!

Well we likely would do something about it as we are not prepared to sit back and wait for the bullies to come over and terrorize us. When you have backwards thinking which has the minority ruling over the majority of people. You seem to be attempting to make a case stating that these dictatorships are a good thing afterall, because the people want to be ruled with an iron fist. Damn so Stalin had it right all along?

Isolationalist

I am to some degree, but not under the definition it gives. I am all in favour of alliances and working through the UN, but I am anti-imperialist which I guess they consider "isolationalist".

As a side note, "liberal" is not a dirty word.
