Agree/Disagree on each statement.

1. One of the main things that makes America exceptional is that it has historically stood for liberal principles compared to other countries. Not sure, there are different types of liberal: classical, New and neo - to name but three

2. The public school system is the greatest and strongest bastion of socialism in America and this is a bad thing. Disagree

3. Among different types of political activism, the effectiveness of zealous passion and hard work is heavily underrated. Disagree on zealous/Agree on hard work

4. Powerful individuals and groups cannot be trusted to use that power benevolently and thus must be constrained. Agree

5. The most significant cleavage in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the 1990s was between pluralists and confrontationists. Disagree

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. Agree

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. Disagree - my views are simply one set of many but they aren't borne out of self interest, more what I perceive to be the common good

8. A family with two parents and children living in the suburbs is a desirable lifestyle and forms the core basis of our society. Agree

9. The most important question in the abortion debate is at what point the fetus becomes a person. Disagree - it's a living entity from conception

10. Economic prosperity is just as important as political freedom for third world countries in Africa and Asia. Agree

I don't care how you interpret it, whichever fits the best for you. Note that this is mostly a question about historical tradition.


OK, then, since I consider that liberal principles embrace freedom and liberty, I agree
