Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a .45 Auto and you are an expert shot.You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Liberal answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Did he have a difficult childhood? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could I maybe just talk him out of it? What if I flashed my ACLU card at him? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun? What kind of message does this send to society and my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion.


Conservative answer:

BANG!

Daughter: "Nice grouping Daddy! Were those the WinchesterSilver Tips?"

    Its ashame that the word "liberal" is now tanatmount to northeastern united state's democrat. The traditional interpretation of the word liberal and the liberal political philosophy, as described by John Locke and later Louis Hartz, is none too similar to the communitarianism represented by people like Jessie Jackson. :(

    Oh, to relate this to the original post, the traditional liberal would have pulled the trigger rather quickly...

    The last conservative test i took i scored higher than Rush. Great post!!! Was havin an average day til i red that. I am not a political man but that was my opinion of what would have happened if we had a liberal(Al Gore) in office durring 9-11. "Well why did they do this and is it our fault" I am not a big G w fan but
    he did all right by me in his reaction. Good post.
