    But you are a veteran.  And therefore on the list.

    I didn't fight in a war.

    OK. So maybe not on their list. ;)

    This document is from 2009. In 2023, you're just another Republican.

    Has the DHS changed their criteria?

    I don't know. I would assume that the Trump administration either agreed with or changed. While I was verifying the document before commenting, as I do, I learned that it got a lot of pushback and the following statement was issued. Please be aware that I am not defending this is any way, so no need to expect any further commentary from me.

    Yes they did get a lot of push back but really only on the veteran part.  No administration has been dumb enough to release it again.  It was an essay sent to police from DHS.  
    Given that Garland has treated parents attending school board meetings about porn in school libraries as possible terrorists....I doubt they changed much but learned not to make it so easy to confirm.

    I wouldn't be proud to admit any of that.

    I am opposed to our open border. 
    I am opposed to any carbon tax regardless of who it is paid to. 
    I am opposed to the USA submitting to any other world organizations.
    I have supported 3rd party candidates in the past. 
    I am glad, we have to constitution.  
    I am absolutely anti-abortion.

    I have no reason to feel shame or pride in these positions.
    The fact that our government thinks/thought these are extremist positions is a shame.

    I’m an online quiz junky so I like that site too.  It updated its quiz recently so now I have a new guy at the bottom.  Sorry, Asa. 


    I’d actually like to attend one of his rallies.  He gives away free pizza for showing up and only three or four people show up.  I love pizza.  Maybe if isidewith.com asked about free pizza, which I definitely support, Asa would’ve scored higher.

    This is the rest of my list.  Your list is way more organized than mine, lol.  You have all of the Republicans together at the top, all of the Democrats together at the bottom and you have them neatly separated by the Libertarian.  I guess I’m just messy, lol.

    I only agree with my own governor 62% of the time.  Sorry, Governor, lol.

    I’d be interested to see more AM users’ results.  I imagine most of them would be your list turned upside down.

    Compared to the rest of Answermug, your place on the political compass probably makes you Benito Mussolini.

    At least Mussolini got the trains to run on time.

    Oh no!  I guess this makes me Mussolini’s deputy minister unless you’re my2cents, who probably thinks I’m next to Mao Zedong.

    Lol. I actually had you figured for close to Rand or Ron Paul.  
    I retook the quiz as well

    That’s fascinating.  You’re exactly where I guessed you would be.  I’d like to see where the rest of Answermug is.  I have a guess, but I could be surprised.

    Maybe you should post a question and see if anyone answers.
