Please inform me of the purpose of this "freedom quiz." It seems to be a stupidly ham-handed way of getting out the ACLU's talking points. If we allowed our rights and freedom to be defined by the ACLU, i'd move to a different country.

From the questions I've been able to see so far the "purpose" seems to be making people aware of absence of some rights that many people assume that they have.

I got all of them right but the last one.
I think I must have missunderstood the question.
And people wonder why I don't trust the governement.

I would hope you moved to China.

WRONG: Believe it or not, Orlando International Airport utilizes a body scanning device that uses low-dose X-rays that can see through clothing but not human skin, essentially performing an electronic strip search. 

The questions are poorly worded. You mean OIA has the scanners, but the CIA doesn't?

I got 9/10, though I still think the first one is misleading.

Fine, let's look at it from that perspective then. Questions 2 and 9 are legitimate and cogent to the point in hand, the rest are crap which have nothing to do with anything except for advancing the POV of the authors of the subject. For example, how is Ashcroft's personal opinion on the "source of human dignity" have to do with freedom? I could give a rat's ass what Ashcroft thinks on the subject, and neither should the ACLU.

You're a knucklehead if you think i believe that. I'm a Libertarian, and i'd no sooner trust John Ashcroft than i would the ACLU on this subject.

From the questions I've been able to see so far the "purpose" seems to be making people aware of absence of some rights that many people assume that they have.

Considering the organization that offers the test considers the Constitution to be an exercise in selective and interpretive reading, i'd say the messenger isn't trustworthy to educate them. Any organization who considers the Second Amendment a "mistake," ignores the Tenth Amendment completely, and supports a pseudo-right that was pulled from the Supreme Court's ass (namely, the non-existent and newly created from thin air "constitutional right to privacy" enshrined in Roe v. Wade), IMHO allowing the ACLU to interpret "freedom" for the rest of us is laughable on its face.

!00 out of 100 but I was tempted by one that's even more absurd than reality. Won't say which for those who want no clues.

Fine, the fact that the answers to 2 and 9 are true should be more than enough to cause every American concern despite who the messenger is.

I think it has something to do with the job he has.

It's sad because I actually think they are right for once, but I truly can't stand most of what their organization does.

Big fat hairy deal. They take things out of context and mis-represent the reasons for investigating certain people and all of a sudden things look a lot worse than they really are.
