It is my belief that about half of the Americans who call themselvesliberal do not hold the great majority of positions held by mainstreamliberal institutions such as the New York Times editorial page, Peoplefor the American Way, and the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. Sohere is a test of this thesis to be given to anyone who believes he orshe is a liberal. If you feel I have omitted a liberal position or haveunfairly characterized any of them here, please email me. This is stilla work in progress.
Thank you,
