Things You Have To Believe To Be A Republican Today:

The thing that makes me puke bile from the pit of my stomach is the stringent army like adherence to the �greed is good� mantra of Thatcher and Reagan�s 80�s and the new form of predatory capitalism they created, the result of which we�re only starting to reap while the army of brainless sycophantic proof of Darwin�s nobodies shout the loudest, as all idiots do, about being the party of Jesus, never mind the party of an actual human being.


Hey, hypocrisy on a universal scale tends to stick in my gullet a little bit. Maybe I should see a shrink.

KrazyJethro,

It was little from both... I wasnt asuggesting that you are republican yourself although you do seem to defend them and their values, but thats neither here nor there...

It was essentially a joke, a joke with elements of truth in it mind you.

Seemed like it.

Anyway, my aggitation was not over the email, I've seen it and laughed before.

The problem is that I like this place, and although a good many posts are good, the good areas are being crushed because of the amount of people in here.

Eventually this will become a Yahoo chat room much like everything else it seems. I hope not, this is a great place. I only want to preserve it.

WHY lighten up. To me, you look like a point whore, and seeing your score and subject matter, I'd say it's a real possibility.

Point-envy. I've heard it all now.

Actually, KJ, the only action worthy of any of those godawful send-to-ten-of-your-friends emails is to hit the DELETE button.
My sister, an alleged brilliant lawyer sends me this crap a lot. Most belongs in the trash.

You're here on this thread, too. What does this say about yourselves? Flip-floppers!

One load of BS deserves another..............
Things You Have to Believe to Be a Democrat Today

Drug addiction is a disease that should be treated with compassion and understanding...unless the addict is a Conservative talk show host.

The United States should be subservient to the United Nations. Our highest authority is not God and the U.S. Constitution, but a collective of tinpot dictators (and their appeasers) and the U.N. charter.

Government should relax drug laws regardless of the potential for abuse, but should pass new and unConstitutional anti-gun laws because of the potential for abuse.

Calls for increased security after a terrorist attack are "political opportunism," but calls for more gun control after a criminal's spree killing is "a logical solution."

"It Takes a Village" means everything you want it to mean...except creeping socialist government involvement in the nuclear family.

Disarming innocent, law-abiding citizens helps protect them from evil, lawless terrorists and other thugs.

Slowly killing an unborn innocent by tearing it apart limb from limb is good. Slowly killing an innocent disabled woman by starving her to death is good. Quickly killing terrorists, convicted murderers and rapists is BAD.

Every religion should be respected and promoted in public schools the name of diversity, so long as that religion isn't Christianity.

The best way to support our troops is to criticize their every move. This will let them know they're thought of often.

Sexual harassment, groping and drug use are degenerate if you're the governor of California, but it's okay if you're the President of the United States.

Sex education should be required so that teens can make informed choices about sex, but gun education should be banned because it will turn those same teens into maniacal mass-murderers.

Minorities are blameless for the hatred of the racist; women are blameless for the hatred of the rapist; but America is entirely at fault for the hatred of Islamofascists.

Poverty is the cause of all terrorism...which is why the leaders of al Qaeda are typically U.S.-educated and were raised in wealth and luxury.

The Patriot Act is a horrific compromise of Constitutional rights, but anti-Second Amendment laws and Franklin Roosevelt's Presidential Order 9066 must be regarded "reasonable precautions."

We should unquestioningly honor the wishes of our age-old allies, even when said allies no longer act like our allies and have vested economic interests in propping up our enemies.

Socialized medicine is the ideal. Nevermind all those people who spend every dime they have to get to the United States so they can get quality medical care...that their nation's socialized medical community can't provide.

Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky and Natalie Maines are perfectly qualified to criticize our leadership, but Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charlton Heston, and Dennis Miller are just ignorant political hacks.

John Lott's research on how gun ownership reduces crime is junk science, but Michael Bellesiles is still an authority on why gun control is good (even though he was forced to resign from Emory due to research misconduct over his book "Arming America").

Bush's toppling the Saddam regime was a "diversion," but Clinton's lobbing a couple of cruise missiles at Iraq in the thick of the Lewinsky sex scandal was "sending a message."

A president who lies under oath is okay, but a president who references sixteen words from an allies' intelligence report should be dragged through the streets naked.

Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning Second Amendment rights and shopping the courts for judges sympathetic to causes that wouldn't pass in any legislature.

"The People" in the First Amendment means The People; "the People" in the Fourth Amendment means The People; "the People" in the Ninth Amendment means The People; "the People" in the Tenth Amendment means The People; but "the People" in the Second Amendment (ratified in 1791) means the National Guard (created by an Act of Congress in 1903).

You support a woman's "right to choose" to kill her unborn child, but don't believe that same woman is competent enough to homeschool the children she bears.

Proven draft-dodging is irrelevant, but baseless claims of AWOL status is crucial to national security.

Threatening to boycott Dr. Laura's and Rush Limbaugh's advertisers is exercising Freedom of Speech, but threatening to boycott CBS's "The Reagans" and Liberal actors over their asinine anti-American remarks is censorship and McCarthyist blacklisting.

The A-Z Place

Sad part of this is that real friends wouldn't let certain peeps continue to post such idiotic BS as what you have posted, eh ECK?
I know that the Democrats of America are certainly proud of you.....do you feel like Mr. Zell Miller yet or are you the next budding Michael Moore wannabe?

Disclaimer: Mods, please feel free to LONG-QUOTE me on this....just felt the extreme need to post the whole list of "things"....

Ha, them republicans are a bit left wing for me. Killin babies is wrong. Adam and Steve is wrong too. And pry my firearms from my cold dead hands will ya? The kumbaya crowd can sit and philosophise all they wish. Join hands, do a little mantra, go braless, smoke some weed, chant anti-war slogans, tatoo peace signs on yer arms, whatever. I'm right wing, conservative, believe in God, Marriage between a Man and a Woman, that Life is sacred, and that the U.S. Constitution is the greatest document on the planet save the Bible.

Yawn. Since I'm not a Democrat, I could care less about the post. Sorry if you were hoping to bait me into some kind of rant.

Do I feel like Zell? No, thank God. He's so full of hate and vitriol, I thought his head was gonna pop off. And then when he went off on Chris Matthews, saying he wished he could duel him, I thought I was gonna fall over laughing. Zig Zag Zell made the GOP look like lunatics - even more than they did themselves. More Zell, please.

Michael Moore? Get serious, Seekerof.

Best regards.
