2. I must've missed where anyone here

5. It's not

Especially considering some of the loudest self-proclaimed liberals are just as bigoted as their conservative cousins.

It's our actions that define us as people. Beliefs often inform our behavior, but not always.

7. I would be willing to bet that you can both participate in a

test designed to gauge your political compass AND be interested in progressive human potential.

I am not real clear on where your angst over the political compass thing stems from.

8. I'm not aware that anyone claimed it was

But then again I may have missed that post. :shrug:
