2. I'm a Liberal!
:bounce:

Liberals…

Are wary of American arrogance and hypocrisy
Trace much of today's anti-American hatred to previous US foreign policies.
Believe political solutions are inherently superior to military solutions
Believe the US is morally bound to intervene in humanitarian crises
Oppose American imperialism
Support international law, alliances, and agreements
Encourage US participation in the UN
Believe US economic policies must help lift up the world's poor
Historical liberal: President Woodrow Wilson

Modern liberal: President Jimmy Carter

8. Where was the Conservative Option?
I didn't see a regular "Conservative" on the scale. And WTF is that "Realist" crap?

9. I like question 4
About 'containing the USSR and China's nuke capabilities'. We promised to help the Russians get rid of their nukes, but then renegged during the 90s saying it would cost too much. Typical corporate america and the politicians who did nothing to help, if it costs too much then forget about it. x( Makes America a real sod...

As for my results: Oh my freakin' God, I'm a Liberal! :o

So what's wrong with behing a left-wing liberal? NOTHING! Though I would add a lot of anti-American sentiment also comes from US domestic policies and the increasing control of corporate fascism (which is tied in to our arrogance and sheer hypocrisy. Heck, I've called the US a "Hypocracy" more than once!)

10. This quiz is B.S.
Most of the questions I would have answered none of the above. It decided I'm a liberal, which is something I haven't decided for myself.

12. no surprise
I'm a liberal. Conservatives who disagree with the the neo-cons and by extenstion *'s foreign policy fall into the isolationist camp with the likes of Pat Buchanan and Stephen Chapman, or they fall into the Realist camp with the likes of Georgie Ann Geyer, Alan Reynolds and that crew.

13. Liberal.
I think I got 100%:-), but I'll never really know. Good thing they didn't ask anything tricky, like "should we get rid of our worthless fiat currency and back it with gold", or "should we abolish the Febderal Reserve and take back the Republic". I might have started to look Libertarian (Isolationist). }(
