PG felt the urge to write. Not having anything to say is not a problem. He decided to take a test, What’s Your Conservative IQ? He was going to copy the questions, for recycling and reuse. This turned out to be a good move. The makers of the test had black letters, on top of a dark background. The only way to read the text is to highlight it. Is 1998 website design conservative or liberal?
The test is ten questions. Each question has three possible answers. These can be described as liberal, moderate, and conservative, usually in that order. An example is number 10.
If you could change one thing about the conservative movement in America, what would it be? That conservatives would go away – far away. ~ That conservatives would reach across the aisle and work alongside liberals. ~ That conservatives would take whatever means necessary to restore liberty and constitutional principles to our great nation, before it is too late.
What would PG change about the conservative movement? Perhaps make it less similar to a bowel movement. Failing that, a bit less cynicism is in order. Employ fewer rhetorical cheap tricks. Don’t use liberal as an all purpose insult. Think things through before spewing out the contradictory bee ess.
There are contradictions galore here. “What do you believe about granting amnesty to some 11 million illegal immigrants while our borders remain insecure?” “How would you rate the importance of conservatives reaching out to African-American and minority communities about how free markets and liberty can empower them?” One of the largest minority communities is Hispanics. Many of them are in this country, illegally, trying to make money. So you want to reach out to people to tell them something, and then label them as criminals when they take your message to heart.
“How important is it that we respect the U.S. Constitution and follow it as written?” The constitution was written when the colonies used slave labor. There was a question about how to distribute the seats in the House of Representatives. As a compromise, the slave was determined to be worth sixty percent as much as a free person.
After answering 10 questions, PG got his score. “17 Middle of the Road. Your conservatism could use an upgrade, and the good news is, we’ll help.
