Liberal

Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Liberal typology group.

1. I object to their use of the word patriotic

I guess they are using it to mean "my country right or wrong" rather than "doing what's best for my country."

I can't understand using it to refer to anyone who puts business interests above the environment. That's greed, it's not love of country.

2. Ya, I din't read the others =)

Just took the poll. But "patriotic" must mean support power structure no matter what.

4. well somehow

the split shows 50/50. That is massively at odds with any other polls I've seen. Is it possible the chimpsters are having an effect on content this soon after being implanted?

5. Interesting

Here is what it had to say about liberals:

"This group has nearly doubled in proportion since 1999, Liberals now comprise the largest share of Democrats and is the single largest of the nine Typology groups. They are the most opposed to an assertive foreign policy, the most secular, and take the most liberal views on social issues such as homosexuality, abortion, and censorship. They differ from other Democratic groups in that they are strongly pro-environment and pro-immigration, issues which are more controversial among Conservative and Disadvantaged Democrats."

If liberals have doubled since 1999, and we are the largest share of the Democratic party, why do some Democrats treat us like we are the fringe lunatics of the party because we are liberal?????

It also said the following about where we get our news:

"Liberals are second only to Enterprisers in following news about government and public affairs most of the time (60%). Liberals’ use of the internet to get news is the highest among all groups (37%)."

Interesting.

6. I'm 'disaffected'

I don't think I'm really disaffected... my policies are just a blend of being more fiscally conservative and government staying out of peoples' business (ie other countries...) They just didn't know where to stick me. :P
