[Cubby]

1. One of the main things that makes America exceptional is that it has historically stood for liberal principles compared to other countries. No, too vague

2. The public school system is the greatest and strongest bastion of socialism in America and this is a bad thing. Thats a terrible thing to say, would you rather we had 30% illiteracy? Teachers unions are a red herring

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

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. I have no idea

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. Strongly Agree, although the Johnson Admin. saw great strides too

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. Not sure if you mean you or me

8. A family with two parents and children living in the suburbs is a desirable lifestyle and forms the core basis of our society. Christian heterosexual propaganda, strongly disagree in theory, although it certainly does make a stable, peaceful society, so maybe in reality its not such a horrible thing

9. The most important question in the abortion debate is at what point the fetus becomes a person. Agree

10. Economic prosperity is just as important as political freedom for third world countries in Africa and Asia. This may be true, but it can't be denied that Free Trade sucks (and Bono is even worse)

[dazzleman]

1. One of the main things that makes America exceptional is that it has historically stood for liberal principles compared to other countries. 

Agree, though by liberal principles, I assume you mean classic liberalism, not contemporary liberalism.

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

Disagree, though the whole system could use some adjustment in certain areas.

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

Disagree -- I don't think it's underrated.  At the same time, overzealousness can repel potential supporters.

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

Generally agree, though it is better to create a situation in which it is in their own best interests to constrain themselves.

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

I don't know, really, so I guess that means disagree, by default.  I think it was/is between people who actually want peace, and those who can never accept it.

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 that improvements took place during that time; disagree that Clinton was primarily responsible for them.

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.  I wouldn't go this far as to say my own views are morally superior to alternatives.  I take the well-being of society into account in forming my views, but it is unavoidable that the way in which we view the world is colored by self-interest, conscious or unconscious.

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 on family structure, though they don't have to live in the suburbs.

9. The most important question in the abortion debate is at what point the fetus becomes a person.

Agree.

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

Agree.  In reality, you can't have one without the other in the long run, so it's not a competition between the two.  You have to have both, or neither.  Tragically, the majority of countries in Africa, in particular, have neither, and have no prospect for it in the forseeable future.

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
