To be a good "Liberal"

1. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of
federal funding.

2. 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.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Islamic Iran.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected
cyclical, documented changes in the Earth's climate, exploding
volcanoes, and more affected by driving SUV's, trucks and operating a
dairy farm.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being a
homosexual is natural.

7. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on
demand.

8. You have to believe that free enterprise creates oppression and cause economic crisis but governments create prosperity.

9. You have to believe that hunters, and fishers don't care about
nature, but loony activists who've never been outside of a city do.

10. You have to believe that self esteem is more important than doing
something to earn it.

11. You have believe the military, not corrupt politicians and
terrorists, start wars.

12. 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.

13. You have to believe taxes are to low, and ATM fees are to high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee and Thomas Edison.

15. You have to forget that Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican
President and that the Republican Party was formed to abolish slavery in the United States.

16. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

17. 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.

18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but liars and thieves belong in the White House.

19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag queens and transvestites should be constitutionally protected, but displaying of the Ten Commandments should be illegal.

20. You have to believe that a crucifix submerged in urine and covered with feces is art, while displaying a crucifix in public is a threat to someone else's constitutional rights.

(Note: This list is from 10 years ago and with the exception of the
removal of one entry and replacing it with another, plus a couple of
minor changes it is still pretty much dead on.)

Note: I didn't write this and I don't know who did.


Things you have to believe to be a Conservative today.

1. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

2. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

3. Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

4. "Standing Tall" for America means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.

5. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

6. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

7. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

8. Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.

9. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

10. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

11. HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.

12. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

13. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

14. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

15. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

16. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution-- banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

17. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

18. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a right to adopt.

19. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the 1980s is irrelevant.

20. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

This thread is great evidence of the hypocrisy and foolishness of both left-liberalism and modern conservatism.

This might sound like a joke to you, but reading the political forum on a dating site (can't imagine reading what might go on, on a real political forum) I start to believe he is right.
