Today's vernacular uses the term "Red States" and "Blue States" to divide Americans into ideological categories.
My opinion is that very few fit into the Conservative Red State or Liberal Blue State categories accross the board, particularly when it comes to social issues.
To prove my point, I've devised a simple survey. Now, read the next part carefully - this is important.
DO NOT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. JUST READ THEM AND TELL ME HOW MANY BLUE ANSWERS AND HOW MANY RED ANSWERS FIT YOUR VIEWPOINTS. IF YOU ANSWER THE QUESTIONS (WHICH ARE CONTROVERSIAL IN NATURE), I WILL DELETE YOUR RESPONSE.
Now, here's the survey:
THE "ARE YOU RED, BLUE, OR PURPLE" SURVEY
1. Abortion. I am PRO LIFE/PRO CHOICE
2. Capital Punishment should be: PART OF THE SYSTEM/ABOLISHED.
3. Gay Marriage: SHOULD BE BANNED/SHOULD BE ALLOWED
4. Flag Burning: SHOULD BE BANNED/SHOULD BE ALLOWED
5. School Prayer: SHOULD BE ALLOWED/SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
6. School Vouchers: GOOD IDEA/BAD IDEA
7. Unions: MORE OFTEN BAD FOR WORKPLACE/MORE OFTEN GOOD FOR WORKPLACE
8. Gun Control: TOO RESTRICTIVE/NOT RESTRICTIVE ENOUGH
