Show us what flaver your stars and stripes come in!
 
Actually this is an anonymous poll, so you don't have to show anything if you don't want. All UT's statistics down below got me kind of curious and with the election coming on and all... What percentage of cellar members consider themselves to be of what political persuasion? You may describe your outlook in detail or not, but I thought it might be interesting to see the percentages.

PS Oh, yeah, I think I mis-spelled "anarchist"? It doesn't look right, but ya'll know what I mean. ;)

And I love whoever just jumped right in and called themselves a pinko commie, socialist, liberal, libertarian, anarchist! Now that's MY kind of party! :D

I'm a socialist, liberal, MOR democratic libertarian - there are so many issues.

From The American Heritage College Dictionary:
Quote:

Liberal: Not limited to or by traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes or dogmas; free from bigotry ... broad-minded
Sounds like most (many?) folks in the Cellar.

From the same dictionary:
Quote:

Conservative: favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.

It's too depressing for words. I'll be casting my vote this election because I hate Bush, not because I feel especially fond of Kerry. :yeldead:

I suspected that would come up as a comment from this bunch, Bruce. The poll only allows for 10 options (I'd have put in many more). I tried to detract from the "pigeon hole effect" by choosing the option to allow for multiple choice responses, not just one. Hence, the delightful first response of "pinko commie, socialist, liberal, libertarian, anarchist" all rolled up into one respondent! :D

What if one can comfortably self-identify as a fascist, but not as a pig?

Hypothetically.

Well, hypothetically, you could write a post stating the pro's of fascism to the rest of us who remain unenlightened about the subject. You could post your own poll where you made pig and fascist seperate choices. Of course if you were pro-pig but anti-fascist, you could write a pro-piggery rejoinder. The possibilities are endless. Or you could just ignore the entire thing and not participate in the poll. Or you could post a humorous hypothetical question just to see if I'd rise to the bait. ;)

Yes, the Jewish, Islamic and vegan fascists. Good point. :thumbsup:

At this point 27 votes from 15 voters. Looks like most people are not comfy with one choice. Making it multi-choice looks like a wise move Mari, you clever devil. :)

Clodfobble 10-08-2004 08:06 AM

HELL, Bruce, you are one damn funny man. :lol:

And let's not forget animal rights facists either, who would be against the slander of pigs. :D

Why, thank you, Bruce. I suspect you're something of a clever devil yourself! ;)

Great minds think alike, Flippant! I described myself as a liberal anarchist in the poll! :thumbsup:
