Charles Murray (of The Bell Curve fame) has an op-ed in the Washington Post about how liberals are a bunch of elitists who don’t understand Real Americans(TM). I put together a quiz based on Murray’s elitism litmus tests.
Scoring: Each correct answer is worth 1 point. For Yes or No questions, Yes is 1 point, No is 0 points. Please be kind to your fellow commenters and don’t put the answers in your comments.
