What brand of liberal?
My Liberal Identity:
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.
Take the quiz at www.FightConservatives.com
I’ll have to tell you, though. Some of the choices were hard. For example, which trio would you pick to pile into a naked pyramid: George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld OR Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, and Samuel Alito OR Pat Robertson, James Dobson, and Ted Haggard.
I ain’t gonna tell you which ones I picked.

Good on Barney Frank; he has impressed me lately, although my only previous knowledge of him was through...

My Liberal Identity: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.Take the quiz at http://www.FightConservatives.com

I got ranked as a Peace Patroller, or Neo-Hippie.
Hmmm….

The acorn, I’ve heard tell Tommy my dear, does not fall far from the tree.
5. Helen Losse replies at 31st October 2007, 10:43 am :
I’m the Peace Patroller, or Neo-Hippie, too. LOL
6. sherry replies at 31st October 2007, 11:14 am :
Again, Helen, I’d say no surprises. I’m not so sure about the Neo-Hippie, but certainly a Peace Patroller. I would have expected to get that category myself, but I was seduced away from Cat Stevens’s “Peace Train” by the Dixie Chicks’s “Not Ready to Make Nice.” Guess I’m not such a pacifist after all.

I have no idea how I came out a Hipster, Rosalie. I don’t even have cable tv so couldn’t watch Jon Stewart if I wanted to, though I do appreciate such work of his as I see on streaming video.
And I certainly don’t fit Rebecca’s description of the typical blogger:

Concerning, “I have no idea how I came out a Hipster”: probably something to do with your choice of naked dudes! LOL

I came out with the Liberal Elite, which struck me as odd. I guess in all those years of grad school, something rubbed off on me, although not enough to make me tenure-able.
“Reality-Based Intellectualists, also known as the liberal elite—are proud members of what’s known as the reality-based community, where science, reason, and non-Jesus-based thought reign supreme.”
Might have been the bumper sticker: “Evolution is just a theory–like gravity.” (That’s true, you know. I actually don’t worry much about the people who don’t believe in evolution–there are even more that don’t believe in Newtonian physics–acceleration due to gravity, momentum, inertia–if they did, they’d drive better.)
Might have been my desire to see Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh interrogated by West Virginia’s own Lindsey England at Abu Ghraib.

Whoa! I am a new life hipster too. And I too, believe in classical physics, especially Newton’s third law which can be applied to practical things besides motion. charlie w

Ah, Charlie, are you saying we’re a bunch of old reactionaries? But I can see how a steel man like you would have a love of Newton, though my friend the nuclear physicist would probably say that all of steel making is chemistry.
12. sherry replies at 31st October 2007, 9:35 pm :
LOL indeed Helen. Naked Dick Cheney or Antonin Scalia seem the stuff of nightmares.
13. sherry replies at 31st October 2007, 9:39 pm :
A hurtling naked Rush Limbaugh is a nightmarish thought, Rebecca: a body in motion tends to stay in motion.
14. charlie w replies at 1st November 2007, 4:17 pm :
Yep, I’m a reactionary, and I’m reacting right now. Let it be known that controlling the steel-making process requires the application of many principles of physics, including nuclear. In our plant there were isotope gauges that could measure the thickness of steel to the thousanth of an inch. Part of my job was to keep them running and calibrated. That’s why you have such a smooth finish on the Corolla….you may thank me now. charlie

Thank you, Charlie. Though I have a Camry. My son has a Corolla though.
