A fun and surprisingly accurate political quiz
There's a fun quiz making the rounds that determines what type of liberal you are: Peace Patroller, Eco-Avenger, Social Justice Crusader, Working Class Warrior, Reality-Based Intellectualist, or New Left Hipster. This was my rating:
You are a New Left Hipster, also known as a MoveOn.org liberal, a Netroots activist, or a Daily Show fanatic. You believe that if we really want to defend American values, conservatives must be exposed, mocked, and assailed for every fanatical, puritanical, warmongering, Constitution-shredding ideal for which they stand.
That pretty much sums it up for me. The quiz is from a new book, "How to Win a Fight with a Conservative." Worth checking out:

What Breed of Liberal Are You?

1. Social Justice Crusader
You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.

Although, if I change a couple of responses to my second choice, I'd be a New Left Hipster, which probably describes me better.

4. Me, too! Social Justice Crusader

You are a Social Justice Crusader, also known as a rights activist. You believe in equality, fairness, and preventing neo-Confederate conservative troglodytes from rolling back fifty years of civil rights gains.

However, I identify with this one better:

You are a Reality-Based Intellectualist, also known as the liberal elite. You are a proud member of what’s known as the reality-based community, where science, reason, and non-Jesus-based thought reign supreme.

5. Cool quiz, but I'm a "Reality-Based Intellectualist," which must be wrong.

6. "Working Class Warrior".
And that's pretty close to the truth. Welcome to DU and thanks for posting this. And it is time that the working class took our country back from these big business bastards. Long Live Unions!

8. Peace Patroller
Edited on Sun Jul-15-07 05:41 PM by ayeshahaqqiqa
You are a Peace Patroller, also known as an anti-war liberal or neo-hippie. You believe in putting an end to American imperial conquest, stopping wars that have already been lost, and supporting our troops by bringing them home.

I don't get the "neo-hippie" part. I'm 56 years old, for heaven's sake! Isn't anything "new" about my beliefs and feelings.

I can live with that--besides, we have the best parties! :rofl:

Edited on Sun Jul-15-07 05:52 PM by Perry Logan
Must be my dissociation showing. I enjoyed being an intellectual for a minute there.

21. I am a proud Peace Patroller
You are a Peace Patroller, also known as an anti-war liberal or neo-hippie. You believe in putting an end to American imperial conquest, stopping wars that have already been lost, and supporting our troops by bringing them home.



My only disagreement here is that I am actually a paleo-hippie, not a neo-hippie, but other than that, this is pretty accurate.

22. I've gone from "Social Justice Crusader" to "Eco-Avenger"
Probably because i interpreted a couple questions differently than last time.

I loved this. It was fun and caused a bit of introspection.
