If you have anything in common with the Democrat party, it's by sheer chance.

You're a staunch conservative, and nothing is going to change that!

How Democrat Are You?

You Are 24% Republican

You're a bit Republican, and probably more conservative than you realize.

If you're still voting Democrat, maybe it's time that you stop.

How Republican Are You?

http://www.blogthings.com/howrepublicanareyouquiz/

Just as I expected I am not much of a percentage in either party. That is probably the reason I don't fill like I fit with either of them. I am anti-abortion, for the death penalty, believe in gun control, and I also believe in gay rights and the right for gays to marry and to serve in the military. There is just no party out there for me.

You aren't a full fledged Democrat yet, but it's likely the party that fits you best.

You probably consider yourself an independent Democrat. You usually support the party, but you also think for yourself!

How Democrat Are You?

That's pretty close.LOL

You Are 68% Democrat

You have a good deal of donkey running through your blood, and you're proud to be liberal.

You don't fit every Democrat stereotype, but you definitely belong in the Democrat party.

And I was 4% republican.

I'm not even American. I'm probably far too left be American.

I know this was a fun quiz, but the questions were basically rotten.

It seemed more a quiz for the far left or the far right and not for most of us level headed ones in the middle who only lean one way or the other.

I think they were good questions. I think they show the basic things that both parties stand for now.

The thing that interests me as I look at many of the ones who have put their answers here. I am not referring to those are scored really big for one party or the other, but to the others like me who didn't have much in common with either party. There were several of us here.

Both parties have left many Americans. We don't feel like we have much in common with either party. And they wonder why more people don't vote. We have nothing in common with the candidates.

I admit I do still vote but I don't get excited about it. It has been so long since I was actually excited about casting my vote for either of the 2 main Presidential Candidates.

And so far of the front-runners for both parties, I dont feel any confidence in any of them to run our nation.

If the climate was ever ripe for a 3rd party to rise it is now. They have just got to emrace those Americans who no longer identify with the right wing that make up and dominate the republican party and the left wing that dominate the democratic party.

76% Democrat, 4% Republican. I'm not surprised, although I resent this test's implication that Democrats hate God and America. Many Democrats love both, but think they should be entirely separate and have no influence on each other. FTR, I'm registered "no party" though (not "independent" since in NYS "independent" is an actual party.)

I am not a really religious person, but I do believe in God, and I see this as one of the biggest problems with the two parties. The Republicans want there to be too much God and the Democrats want too little.

Can't they take an example from schools - when they took God out of the schools that is when the problems began for our schools. Taking him completely out of politics and out of America is not the answer.

I don't know what you mean "took God out of the schools." I went to public school and we certainly learned about God and Jesus. We also learned about Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, &c. That's the way it should be IMO.

You are a card carrying Democrat, and a pretty far left one at that!

There's no chance anyone would ever mistake you for a Republican.

Well I don't know where you went to school but half way through my 12 years of education God was no longer allowed in my school. We weren't even allowed to pass out Christmas gifts because others might get offended. Even at the schools here today the football team is not allowed to pray before a game, kids are still not allowed to learn about God in the schools. So yes God has been taken out of the schools. If you learned about him in your school you were lucky.

I have no problem with other religions being represented in school but how is it fair to cut the Christian things out of school when the majority are of that religion. To not even allow a Christmas tree is taking it a bit too far for me.

And that is what is happening all over the nation. Instead of embracing that part of our children's lives they are taught to ignore them - to act as if during the school hours they don't exist. Instead they could have areas for all religions in the schools, but no it can't be that way. Let's be politically correct and just ban all of it so that no one gets offended.

As I said I am not an overly religious person. I pray and things but in my own way. But I have no problem with others being that way. That is part of their life and I think it all should be represented. It gets tiring to see the rights of some individuals infringed because they offend the rights of others. There has to be tolerance.

And with the parties, they both need to learn to develop a balance.

I'm 22 and went through public school.

I remember in elementary schoo, one kid brought in suckers with Jesus tags (little papers with a Bible verse and a picture of Jesus) and the kid wasn't allowed to pass the suckers out unless she took off the Jesus thing.

We could never have prayer in school.

In high school, we learned about other world religions, but we never discussed Christianity or Jesus.

I went to public school, and we read the Bible in our AP English class for literary purposes. Our teacher had us read it in order to compare Bible stories to stories from Greek mythology. Some people got offended by it, but our teacher was actually Jewish, so it wasn't as if she had an alternate agenda or something like that. When we learned about religion, it was just in a historical, social, or literary context.

Up until high school, I didn't really care about prayer in school, but now I think it's important to keep the two separate (at least in public school.) Despite what a lot of people in the US think, the country still has a separation of church and state. I don't understand why people like Bush and other politicians think that they are somehow "above" that. School isn't the place for kids to learn morals and scripture...that's the job of the parents IMO.

If parents want their children to learn more about their specific religious beliefs, then they should have them attend classes at their church or temple. The problem is that a lot of parents are lasped members of whatever religious organization they belong to, so if they aren't attending church or temple, etc., then their kids won't either.

I grew up in a very strict RC family, and we actually had to attend mass twice a week. I was in a youth group with my church, and even though I wound up splitting with the group and Catholicism altogether, what I learned there taught me a lot and had helped me understand a lot of what I'm learning now in college. I take a lot of Spanish classes, and since most Spanish-speaking countries are also heavily RC countries too, it's helped me understand a lot of the themes in Latin American literature, since religion plays a huge role in their particular societies. Also, religion is a huge part of History, so for me, it's always been important to learn more about different religious beliefs in order to understand certain events in History.

So yeah, I think studying religion is important, as long as schools steer away from saying that one particular religion is the "right one." It's a really hard thing to do, I guess, so I understand why most schools just ignore any teachings on religion altogether.
