The Ideological Turing Test

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a DEMOCRAT because I believe in the basic principle that all people were created as equals. I believe that, as great as America is, it is also inherently unequal, and unfair. Through prejudice, economic disparity, sexism, and racism, many people are faced with insurmountable obstacles in life. It is my belief that it is the responsibility of our society to take care of one another, and to help equalize conditions for those less fortunate. Through activism, social programs and legislation, we can overcome many injustices in our country. America should not be home to the privileged, wealthy and powerful, where the majority dominate and rule. The foundation of our country is based upon diversity, and should be a place were everyone can proudly call our home.

I am a Democrat because I believe in free thinking. I believe every human has the right to do what makes them happy, in a safe manner. My biggest reason is that I'm a Pantheist. I believe God is the air, water, and soil of this planet. Democrats know that Earth comes first before big corporations and money-making. After all, where will we all live with all this money Republicans are trying to generate? I am a vegan and environmentally conscious. Every choice I make is for every being on this planet, not just myself. I truly believe Earth does not belong to us, but the universe. We should treat it well as we're all just visitors.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I identify as republican because I support America. My family has always identified as a republican. We are Christian and have high moral standards. I believe in fighting for my country and traditional American values. Unlike democrats, who want to take our rights away, like our freedom to have guns, as a republican I believe in our constitution to have guns. Democrats are running America to the ground with their tolerance of everything like same-sex marriage. Women and men are only to be together, not a woman and woman or man and man. This is morally wrong and has no place in our American society.

I am a democrat because i believe in the principles in the economy and in everyone associated to the democratic group. I believe in free enterprise systems for the working and the middle classes. I believe in limited government and limited big business. Government should reward businesses only after they have created jobs for the American people. I believe in personal responsibility and social responsibility. I believe no one should be homeless, abused, or neglected regardless of the causes. Prisons should be for violent offenders, not drug addicts. I believe each person, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation deserv3es equal respect and equal rights to pursue a meaningful life.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I am a Republican because I believe in the free market. I think every person should work for what they have and not get free handouts from the government, or as little as possible. I believe in God and country. I believe we who work hard in this country deserve the fruits of our hard work, not someone else. I believe we should have the right to bear arms. I have a right to protect my family and my homestead in the best way I know how and that is through keeping firearms responsibly in my home and knowing how to use them.

I am a republican because I believe the greatest strength of our nation lies in the individual‚ right to the pursuit of life, liberty, property and happiness. I believe in the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech, and equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all under the law. I believe the role of government should be limited to the powers stated in the Constitution, because government that governs least governs best.I believe in conservative values, Christianity and keeping God first to look over this Country. I believe in Peace through strength because strength deters aggression and military strength depends on a sound economy.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a democrat because I am so proud of my country that I would do anything to keep it safe and secure. The democrats have always stood up for the underdog and those who are not as fortunate as the rest of society. Democrats have stood for American values from the very beginning. We have stood up for blacks and minorities in all categories and have fought many battles to assure them the equality and social standing that they deserve as Americans. The democrats are the only party that has stood strong and united for Americans. Being a democrat is the essence of who I am

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I am a Republican because I like being able to have others live by my rules. I don't like paying taxes, though I like having access to public services such as roads and hospitals. I love guns and believe gun rights should be above everything else. I believe women should not have rights over their own bodies and should have children whether they want them and can afford them or not. I also think churches should have more input in people's lives and that people should have to pray no matter where they are. I also think everyone should follow the law and stand for the pledge of allegiance.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Democrat because…”

I am a Democrat because I agree with many of the positions they take, especially in terms of social issues. I don't agree with many of the positions of the RNC, who have largely been taken over by zealous evangelicals and people only out for themselves without acknowledgement of the need to preserve this great society those before us have built. I also just think that the RNC does a horrible job of offering the public good, viable, and qualified candidates. I hate Trump, hated Romney, hated Palin (although I didn't hate McCain, even if I disagreed with him on many issues), and wasn't a big fan of Bush either. I also think that continuing to espouse the value of Reagan voodoo economics is very stupid and part of the reason for so much economic disparity in the US.

The following statement was written based on the prompt: “I’m a Republican because…”

I believe in small government. I dont look to government to meet my, and everyone else's every need and then tax me heavily for it. I also think that abortion should be limited to when a mother's life is endangered. I think the current gun laws are enough and there should not be any more restrictions.I am against gay marriage and believe there should be laws against children being put on hormones and having body parts cut off because they are confused about their gender. I believe in being fiscally prudent and cutting taxes as well as a few government handouts.
