Again, I'm not worked up. Seriously, clubby -- Even though you barely know me, do you really think that I care whether you regard me as a liberal, a moderate, or a horse with five legs? What label you apply to me is neither good nor bad; it is just not meaningful.
I think that your "test" reflects a number of idiotic stereotypes about "liberals" -- including about anyone who supports any policy that you deem "liberal". Stereotypes like that prevent rational thought. If you were a blond anorexic dominatrix who once had decent tits, it might be okay, but that job is taken. Saying these things does not indicate that I am "mad" or that your belief that I am a "moderate" bothers me. I see stupid, I call stupid.
But, out of curiousity -- since you've told us that you aren't a conservative -- what's your test for that?

I don't think you care what I think, other than it gives you another excuse to call me stupid, which is laughable coming from you, but I've learned to accept it with a smile
I think my test is right on. If you don't agree, please explain. Calling it idiotic is not helpful to the bi-partisan atmosphere I'm trying to facilitate here.
With that said:
Here's a start at the conservative test:
1. Do you believe that government should be able to have control over social issues in order to foster moral behavior?
2. Do you believe that the first amendment permits the practice of religion and/or belief in god in or by public institutions, so long as it is not overtly coercise?
3. Do you believe taxes are too high?
4. Do you believe that the federal government has usurped the powers that should be reserved to the states.
