That list perfectly describes me. Have you been following me around taking notes?

Looking forward to reading the list that is sure to be posted about the Democrats.
Politicians of both parties are some of the most hypocritical people on earth, but the Republicans are better at it.

What You Must Believe to be a Good Democrat

• You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
• You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity. [/url]
• You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists.
  
• You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
  
• You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUVs.
  
• You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.
  
• You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
  
• You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
  
• You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.
  
• You have to believe that self esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
  
• You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion Of The Christ for financial gain only.
  
• You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
  
• You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
  
• You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.
  
• You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.
  
• You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.
  
• You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.
  
• You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House.
  
• You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
  
• You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese government is somehow in the best interest to the United States.
  
• You have to believe that the posting of this list is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.

The devil made me do it the first time, second time I done it on my own - W

YOU MIGHT BE A DEMOCRAT IF...




* You feel Fidelity means not cheating on your mistress.

* You think that pornography corrupts women, but find nothing wrong with a 50 year old president seducing a 21 year old intern.

* You cry every May 4th over the four people killed at Kent State, but have never been to the Vietnam Memorial.

* Along the same lines, "Four Dead in OHIO" by Neil Young gives you goosebumps, but "19" by Paul Hardcastle means nothing to you.

* You say shows like "Leave It to Beaver" are out of touch with America today, while you flip to your soap opera.

* You know of the stockpile of biological weapons in Iraq, but think that the US is wrong for not signing the land mines treaty.

* You want to know why we don't offer schooling in prisons (hey, isn't that what public schools are for).

* You think those stupid ribbons actually accomplish something.

* You tout the NAACP, but criticize anyone referring to a black man as a "colored person."

* You think a mother has a right to kill an innocent 5 month fetus because her pregnancy would interfere with her career, but feel we shouldn't put to death the man who raped and murdered 14 women.

* You feel that banning smoking in public indoor places limits your constitutional rights.

* You feel that being convicted of treason is an infringement on your first amendment rights.

* You honestly feel that alcoholics deserve social security disability benefits.

* You outwardly said "I would have voted for Elizabeth Dole" knowing darn well you wouldn't have because she is a Republican.

* You think it is ok for a President to commit perjury on his sex life, but criticize Dan Quayle for spelling potato/potatoe wrong.

* You stood on a soapbox demanding that Anita Hill be heard, but want Paula Jones' accusations to be swept under the rug.

* You think the guy who drops out of High School and builds your jeep deserves more money than the doctor who went to college for 10 years and saves your kids life.

* You sang along to "Give Peace a Chance" during the Gulf War.

* You've filed for unemployment within two weeks of getting out of high school.

* You went to Woodstock II and felt that it was a significant historical event, changing the way our country thinks.

* You own something that says, "Dukakis for President," and still display it.

* You've tried to argue in favor of anything based on, "Well, they're gonna do it anyway so..."

* You've ever said, "We really should call the ACLU about this."

* You believe that a few hundred loggers can find another career, but the defenseless spotted owl must live in its preferred tree.

* You ever based an argument on the phrase, "But they can afford a tax hike because..."

* You've ever argued that with just one more year of welfare that person will turn it around and get off drugs.

* You think Lennon was a brilliant social commentator.

* You keep count of how many people you know in each racial or ethnic category.

* You believe our government must do it because everyone in Europe does.

* After looking at your pay stub you can still say, "America is undertaxed."

Just watched 19 again on youtube. Powerful images. I'm glad that I wasn't the right age at the right time to have to make decisions about going to war - too young for Vietnam, too old for Gulf.

Regardless of whether the cause is the right one, I am proud of the people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."

You nailed it.

That it is alright to commit murder and lie about it like Ted Kennedy as long as you uphold the tenants of the Democratic Party.

That Bush started an illegal war, but Hillary and Obama were just peace keeping in Libya and Syria.
