Score yourself between 1-10 on each and add up your score.
1. We should be allowed to say "One nation under God" in the pledge of allegiance
2. Able-bodied people on welfare should be required to work
3. Men who assult pregnant women and kill the fetus should be charged with assult and murder
4. The United States should put its own interests first and cooperation with international organizations second
5. Believe in God
6. Proud to be an American
7. Schools should teach new immigrants about American values.
8. Everyone should learn English
9. Personal injury lawyers should get no more than 15% of any award.
10. It is possible to use new technology and new science to develop clean, renewable energy that protects the enviroment and the economy.

1. WTF cares?
2. Only if they don't have small children to take care of.
3. No. A fetus isn't human.
4. Both are equally important. The globalised economy is highly inter-dependent.
5. No different than believing in unicorns.
6. Being proud of anything other than a personal achievement is lame.
7. No, it's not the school's job to brainwash people.
8. Forcing people to learn it isn't a good idea.
9. Disagree. Let the free market decide the percentage.
10. Maybe 50 years from now. In the time being, oil and uranium are still essential for the economy.

I don't think that people should be "graded" on their values, but these are my opinions on the matters you posted:
1.You should be allowed, but not forced, to mention God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
2. I believe that able-bodied people who live on welfare should be required to work, but how can we guarantee that they would readily be able to get jobs?
3. I don't think that people who assault pregnant women and kill the fetus should be charged with murder. I'm pro-choice, and though I think that the assailants should be punished for killing the fetuses and for assaulting the women, I think that being able to charge them with murder would eventually possibly infringe on the right of women to have abortions.
4. The United States should look after its own interests, but it should still cooperate with the rest of the world. We should stop acting as if we're the only country that matters.
5. I believe in God, but I don't believe in imposing my beliefs on others.
6. I'm definitely proud to be an American.
7. What do you call "American values"? There's a lot of ethical and religious diversity in this country, and that's one of the things that make it great.
8. Everyone who comes here should learn English, but I have no problem with people using their own language if they choose to do so.
9. I agree completely.
10. I agree.

4) - 7
5) - 10

8) - 10

I am 9 for 10. I do not believe it is the job of government to get involved in the contractual dealings between attorneys and their clients, any more than I think the government should get involved in any other personal contract.
