I'm not sure what 2 means- but you have all the others between your SS pland your health care plan and your understanding of the evolution issue.

1. Do you value groups over individuals?

2. Do you believe in moral or cultural relativism?

3. Do you think religion is for the stupid and/or naieve?

4. Do you think economic equality is not only desirable, but is also doable?

5. Do you think that the government should make decisions on behalf of the "common good"?

Oh, for God's sake, club. Even the Federalist Society doesn't publish shit like this anymore.

Please, PLEASE read less Coulter, watch less O'Reilly, and listen to less Limbaugh. Read, watch, and listen to .... well, almost anything else.

And you'd better revise #3, because I think you just painted bilmore as a pinko commie.

Social Security doesn't value individuals?

Social Security is a means of creating economic equality?

You people are ridiculous. Club's "liberal" test reads like a primer from the Eisenhower Administration on "How to Recognize a Commie."

Are you mad because under my test you don't think you are a liberal?

Frankly, I think most of you fail under #1, unless you no longer believe in affirmative action.

So is it any one of those and you are a liberal? Because I don't think that the non-liberals you listed earlier meet every one of the criteria on your list, and sounds like you are saying "if you are any of the above, you are a liberal."

I'm not mad at all. Just convinced that you are a blithering idiot.

What next? Do we return to the "government never accomplished anything" and "government doesn't help me earn a living" discussion?

Under your "test" (read: absurd stereotype), I don't think anyone is a liberal. Possibly a handful of members of the Spartacus League, but I doubt it.

Ah, you were just talking about WHITE individuals!

I'd recommend the White House approved test for liberalism instead.

Depends on perspective
SS as now in place "values individuals" in that it seeks to make sure no of them starve- however it "values groups" it that it takes from individuals to make sure all old people eat. And yes it is a way of taking a step towards equality.

The SS fix Greedy proposes pushes both of those further towards SS "valuing groups" and being for equality.

The ignore button is just a click away.

I'm not sure what you're so worked up about. Doesn't this mean that I consider most of you moderates and isn't that a good thing?

Do we have an undertaker sock for the ref sock?
