Not all leftists are "vegan", but all "vegans" are

Be careful where you paint with that wide brush, you may paint yourself

in a

corner.

Nope. One very articulate and obviously intelligent
poster in alt.food.vegan thought he had disproved my
contention, because he is a reflexive defender of
Republican and conservative orthodoxy, and he said he
was "vegan". However, once I induced him to look in on
talk.politics.animals and
alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian, he realized, and freely
admitted, that he had erroneously conflated following a
"vegan" diet with BEING a "vegan". He no longer calls
himself a "vegan", because he eschews animal products
in his diet entirely for health reasons.


BTW: Your ASSumption isn't even close.

It's spot on.


Bring on your *30 political issues*, I double dog dare ya. LOL

I don't have a 30 point test, but the following 10
point quiz worked well enough two other times. When I
posted this in alt.food.vegan, twice about a year
apart, the self-styled "vegans" gave consistently
leftwing answers 85% of the time or higher. One of the
problems with this particular quiz is, it's possible to
disagree with the statement from either leftwing or
rightwing perspective. It's important, therefore, to
add a few *honest* explanatory words in addtion to your
yes/no or agree/disagree answer.

State whether or not you're "vegan" or tend to agree
with the tenets of "veganism", then answer yes or no,
or agree or disagree, along with a short explanation of
your answer.

1. Military service should be voluntary. (No draft)


There should be no gov't forced military.


2. Government should not control radio, TV, the press
or the Internet.


Gov't should control nothing.


3. Repeal regulations on sex for consenting adults.


No regulations on anything, that is for the free market, and free people
to
decide.


4. Drug laws do more harm than good. Repeal them.


No laws, period. Laws do not change behavior, they only assign a
penalty.


5. People should be free to come and go across borders;
to live and work where they choose.


But of course.


6. Businesses and farms should operate without govt.
subsidies.


Subsidies = theft
Theft is a no no.


7. People are better off with free trade than with tariffs.


Tarrif = theft.
see above


8. Minimum wage laws cause unemployment. Repeal them.


Employers should pay what they wish.


9. End taxes. Pay for services with user fees.


Just like the free market.


10. All foreign aid should be privately funded.


All people should control their lives, completely and be responsible for
their behavior, completely.

Now, which side of the aisle do I stand on?

Which side of WHAT aisle, goofball? I don't recall any
talk of an aisle. You've completely lost sight - no,
never saw to begin with - the point of the quiz. It
*figures* you'd think the dope bobby has it together...

(I'm painting you into a corner with a very narrow brush)

You don't even have a Magic Marker, goofball, let alone
a paint brush.

You're pretty slow, aren't you?
I'm done here, intellectually slamming you is like kicking a dying
dog....not very much fun.
