Midnight Judges Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 :laugh: WHo the hell does your group of lefty nimrods have worth a dime? If Hillary or Barak Osama are all you have then we're in trouble. Newt is better than anyone out there now. Unless you think BIG govt' solves all problems. I hope Mark Warner gets the Dem nod in '08. He will mop the floor with Newt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchwood Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 :laugh: Still the largest group. I think their categories are actually a little skewed to make sure that Liberal is the largest group. They split off Social Conservatives and Enterprisers, but they didn't put a more Libertarian category on the Democratic side, so they've got a bunch of social libertarians mixed up with the pacifist hippies ...I mean, I'm all for gay people, but cutting defense spending to reduce the deficit? What are you crazy? Cutting spending? What kind of liberal is in favor of that? I would point out that the pew research center has a decidedly liberal slant to their polls, that may be why there is so many liberals from this test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tater Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Enterpriser Thing is, I disagree with everything that was given as the basic description of an Enterpriser. Oops re-read it. First part does closely describe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydevil Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 My grandfather, my grandmother, my uncles, my stepfather, myself, almost everyone I have met that is in the military or has been in the military, that is who. I am not attacking the idea of service. It is indeed a very noble thing to do. I am just challenging the notion of somebody fighting for their government even if they know it was in the wrong.

I am just challenging the notion of somebody fighting for their government even if they know it was in the wrong. I kind of depends on ones concept of wrong, I for one still do not perceive the war that we are in is wrong, I beleive that it was unfortunate that we had to go that far, but it is necessary. I beleive that most current and former servicemen and women would agree with me. Because you define it as wrong, doesn't mean people are fighting for something they perceive as inherently wrong. Furthermore, if you beleive that war in and of it self is wrong, than you should not enter into the military. If you are one that enters the military just for the GI bill than you are an idiot.

AJ_Skins Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 If you compile the results here into three groups, you get: Conservative 34% Moderate 22% Liberal 44% Compared to the country as a whole: Conservative 39% Moderate 37% Liberal 19% Sounds about right.

luckydevil Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 That is fine but my comment stands for all wars Ok how about this. Here is a hypothetical situation... If you found out that our government was committing acts of genocide, would you still fight for our government (if called on)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you found out that our government was committing acts of genocide, would you still fight for our government (if called on)? Kind of depends on whether we were provoked or not. If we were just to randomly go into Somalia and kill people that would be wrong, morally. If we were attacked and we went into somolia and we were continued to be attacked than hell yeah I would fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRS Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 hmm I agree with both statements on Item 24: Government regulation of business is necessary to protect the public interest Government regulation of business usually does more harm than good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air Force Cane Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Enterpriser Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Enterpriser typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic or agree with the group on all issues. Enterprisers represent 9 percent of the American public, and 10 percent of registered voters. Basic Description As in previous studies conducted in 1987, 1994 and 1999, this extremely partisan Republican group’s politics are driven by a belief in the free enterprise system and social values that reflect a conservative agenda. Enterprisers are also the strongest backers of an assertive foreign policy, which includes nearly unanimous support for the war in Iraq and strong support for such anti-terrorism efforts as the Patriot Act. Defining Values Assertive on foreign policy and patriotic; anti-regulation and pro-business; very little support for government help to the poor; strong belief that individuals are responsible for their own well being. Conservative on social issues such as gay marriage, but not much more religious than the nation as a whole. Very satisfied with personal financial situation. Who They Are Predominantly white (91%), male (76%) and financially well-off (62% have household incomes of at least $50,000, compared with 40% nationwide). Nearly half (46%) have a college degree, and 77% are married. Nearly a quarter (23%) are themselves military veterans. Only 10% are under age 30. Lifestyle Notes 59% report having a gun in their homes; 53% trade stocks and bonds in the stock market, and 30% are small business owners – all of which are the highest percentages among typology groups. 48% attend church weekly; 36% attend bible study or prayer group meetings. 2004 Election Bush 92%, Kerry 1%. Bush’s most reliable supporters (just 4% of Enterprisers did not vote) Party ID 81% Republican, 18% Independent/No Preference, 1% Democrat (98% Rep/LeanRep) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Kind of depends on whether we were provoked or not. If we were just to randomly go into Somalia and kill people that would be wrong, morally. If we were attacked and we went into somolia and we were continued to be attacked than hell yeah I would fight So if we are "provoked" it would be ok to committ genocide because your commander said so? If it isn't ok morally, what would you do about it? Pull the trigger, stand aside, or stop the other soldiers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I got Enterpriser, which I guess is fairly close, though I'm probably more religious but less socially conservative than the results would indicate. What interested me was this: Media UseEnterprisers follow news about government and politics more closely than any other group, and exhibit the most knowledge about world affairs. The Fox News Channel is their primary source of news (46% cite it as a main source) followed by newspapers (42%) radio (31%) and the internet (26%). "Exhibit the most knowledge about world affairs"? "The Fox News Channel is their primart souce of news"? I don't watch Fox News Channel personally, so I don't know, but I thought the liberal think tanks had proven that Fox News makes a person stupid and uninformed... Hmm.
