148 8th graders took a political compass test today

[greenbriar]

NO influence from me

no discussion except to clarify meaning of words


all on line


147 are to the left between Hillary and Bill Clinton




we are raising a bunch of new little liberals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[greenbriar]

1. oh and the other one was

between Bill Clinton and Colin Powell

[Pushed To The Left]

2. Good news for the future!

Now, it needs to drilled in their head from now on how important it is to GET OUT AND VOTE when they are 18!!!

[greenbriar]

3. they are all pissed that they don't get to vote

this time because they have a lot to say



if only people would listen

[Pushed To The Left]

4. There are some young activists out here that want the voting age lowered

I'm really starting to warm up to that idea!

[Xithras]

13. Oh hell no.

Republicans tend to have more kids than Democrats and have more totalitarian households. If my 18 year old kid became a Republican, I'd throw them out of the house. I can do that because they'd legally be an adult, and if they're going to demonstrate that kind of stupidity, they can do it under a roof other than my own.

What if my 16 year old kid voted Republican? I can't legally kick them out, but you can damned well bet that I'd ground the shit out of them and practice some serious tough love. That threat alone would probably be enough to sway their votes.

Now imagine a Republican father of five making that same threat to his brood.

5. Good for starters but they need to go

way left of both Clinton's and lower left on the graph!

Keep at 'em teach'! Good job!!

[greenbriar]

6. the majority are hispanic or black

they want OBAMA

[Breeze54]

7. That's understandable.

I'm glad you're discussing it with them!!

[greenbriar]

8. after they submitted their selections

we had a great talk about the questions and why they were worded like they were


and how the different positions mattered.


all I can say is WOW we have some smart kids. They don't let all the shit cloud their opinions. To them it is black or white and no crap inbetween.

[Breeze54]

9. They sound smart!!

Have them read this too!

[greenbriar]

10. they are

and they see things pretty clearly

[ourbluenation]

11. I would wager that when you take the politics out of the discussion, most people are liberal.

many who think they're conservatives are not when you get right down to it.

[Clintonista2]

15. Exactly

I've noticed many of my friends who identify themselves as "conservatives", are usually pretty liberal. Many of them don't follow politics, but have positions on every issue. If you work on an issue-to-issue basis, they are usually liberal.

[Clintonista2]
