“The nine most terrifying words in the English
language are, I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” – Ronald Reagan.
I
consider myself a conservative. I was brought up in a home with strong,
conservative, Christian, morals. All my life I heard my parents listen to talk
radio and yell their opinions at the radio as if it would respond. I was able
to come away from that and start to formulate my own opinions about certain
things. Similar to most conservatives I am extremely Pro-Life but I am not totally
against same-sex marriage. I took the Political Ideology Quiz and ranked in the
category of ‘staunch conservative’. While many of my opinions are right-winged,
I do feel that our society is changing and our political values should correspond.
I would like to get a better understanding of our government and political
issues by the end of this class. I am extremely in favor of a strong military
and hoping to go into the military after college; therefore a solid understanding
of government is crucial. I scored 75% on the Civics Quiz and 8 out of 11 on
the News IQ Quiz; not horrible but certainly room for improvement.
