1. One of the main things that makes America exceptional is that it has historically stood for liberal principles compared to other countries. Yes
2. The public school system is the greatest and strongest bastion of socialism in America and this is a bad thing. No
3. Among different types of political activism, the effectiveness of zealous passion and hard work is heavily underrated. Yes
4. Powerful individuals and groups cannot be trusted to use that power benevolently and thus must be constrained. Yes
5. The most significant cleavage in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the 1990s was between pluralists and confrontationists. Yes
6. The eight years of Bill Clinton's presidency witnessed the most dramatic improvement in America's domestic economic and social environment from the Kennedy era to today. Yes
7. My views are morally superior to the alternatives and not just formed due to self-interest, or one of many possible equally valid positions. Yes (in the sense that yes, I form my positions based on ideals and morals) rather than self interest.)
8. A family with two parents and children living in the suburbs is a desirable lifestyle and forms the core basis of our society. Yes (altough, I'm not sure whether it matters that they are living in the suburbs. This is not really a viable economic option for some people, and I also strongly value residents of small towns and rural areas.)
9. The most important question in the abortion debate is at what point the fetus becomes a person. Yes, most definitly (in a more spiritual context, when the soul enters the body)
10. Economic prosperity is just as important as political freedom for third world countries in Africa and Asia. Yes
