I read a blog recently that said you shouldn't be able to vote if you couldn't pass a politics basic skills test -- correctly answering a question such as who is the president? or what country do you live in?
I would agree with that and suggest that it should be extended to say that you shouldn't be able to vote if you can't explain why you believe what you believe.
I'm going to take a shot at conservatives here, but there seems to be a high degree of self annointed "conservatives" that can't say why they are conservatives. These people are idiots. "Because" and "Just Because" aren't valid answers for someone old enough to vote.
So take this short test, figure out who you really are.

I ended up right next to the Dali Lama and close to Ghandi. And about as far away as possible from Hitler and George W. Bush.
