How To Be a Good Democrat
 
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 U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese &North Korean communists.

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

5. 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.

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

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

8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression, and governments create prosperity.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

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

11. You have to believe that the military, not corrupt politicians, 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 that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. 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

16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal, and really a very nice person.

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 a liar and sex offender belonged in the White House.

19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal

22. You have to believe the war in Iraq is unjustifiable on any grounds.

sipsake 02-12-2004 03:18 PM

You're trying to start a flame war?

maximusveritas 02-12-2004 03:20 PM

that was stupid and not funny, but thanks anyway.

Mojo_PeiPei 02-12-2004 03:21 PM

Very insightful and telling of the truth.

sipsake 02-12-2004 03:24 PM

Also very insulting and highly inaccurate.

Thought this forum was supposed to be about respecting others in spite of differing opinions.

shakran 02-12-2004 03:29 PM

Can you say "flamebait?"

I thought you could.

Mojo_PeiPei 02-12-2004 03:29 PM

I don't see whats so innaccurate about it. Perhaps for the sake of healthy discussion you could make some points to the contrary of the initial post? As it goes its no more offbase or flame bait then half of the anti-bush/anti-conservative posts circulating here.

nanofever 02-12-2004 03:39 PM

This is below responding to with something other than "in before the lock"...


"In before teh lock"

Superbelt 02-12-2004 03:46 PM

I can play the moron game too!

23. Want to see every baby on earth aborted.

24. You want to put every american on earth on welfare. (We must have everyone under our sidious financial control) NEXT STEP! COMMUNISM!

25. You have to want to surrender to Cuba

26. You believe the US military could be trimmed down to a more manageable level, 6 guys with binoculars, really thick sweaters and tasers.

28. Must petition for Benedict Arnold to be placed on Mt. Rushmore.

29. Right next to Karl Marx

726. I'll have that crack to go. I have a welfare check to pick up and my 6 money generators ... er, Children are in the trailer alone watching teletubbies and learning to be gay.

0. You have to absolutely hate america. Right down to the core of your being. You want to see it fail and its citizens crushed.

mystmarimatt 02-12-2004 04:08 PM

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but after that thoughtful, articulate and unbiased list of arguments, I've completely seen the error of my ways.

Nizzle 02-12-2004 05:30 PM

Joy, another worthless troll that is being ignored by the moderators.

Idiot.

Ustwo 02-12-2004 05:45 PM

Sure it was a trolling flamebait post, but if you guys can't make a little fun of yourself you have issues deeper then politics.

There is an element of truth to many of those one liners and I think deep inside you know it.

Many of you posting have posted statements far less factual as your personal truth on this board.

Thanks Mojo, I enjoyed it, but it does belong on the humor board.

Superbelt 02-12-2004 05:48 PM

Eh, I wish more had come on and helped me turn this into a joke thread. Ooh well.

btw, there's about as much an element of truth in Mojo's statements as there is in mine.

Sparhawk 02-12-2004 06:46 PM

I'm glad this makes Republicans grin, especially after looking at the latest poll numbers. :D

jcookc6 02-12-2004 07:00 PM

boy the truth really hurts, probably almost as much as today's Drudge report.

ChrisJericho 02-12-2004 07:18 PM

Yawn.......

powerclown 02-12-2004 09:36 PM

Hmm, maybe I haven't been here long enough...

I thought this was tongue in cheek, just because there were so MANY outrageously stereotypical statements. I thought it was obvious. Lesson learned.

Scipio 02-12-2004 09:43 PM

Hey, I got a chuckle out of it. There's much truth in jest, but much logical fallacy in straw men. It's easy to argue with what we think the other guy thinks.

Truth and Drudge report in the same sentence, would have never thought I would live to see that.

Zeld2.0 02-12-2004 11:27 PM

its funny if anything seeing the reaction of those who find stereotypes to be true to the core

pan6467 02-12-2004 11:38 PM

The problem with the nation isn't left or right. Most americans are centrists. The fact that the right feels the need to denigrate and try to humiliate the left and vice versa is much more a serious problem than that of the actual positions.

What happens when this becomes a 1 party country? can anyone say either communism or facism? Can anyone here tell me what Stalin did once the Bolsheviks took power?

Come on righties....

Your party right now is closer to Stalinistic/Hitleristic policies than the left is........

What happened to Trosky??????

I know how much you like to change history......... BUSH NEVER SAID IMMINENT THREAT....... BUSH NEVER SAID WMD'S......... BUSH NEVER SAID IRAQ WAS IN ON 9/11...........

OK I'll give you the answer because you are probably listening to Limbaugh spew forth his hate and propaganda......

Trosky was killed. Once the revolution was over and the Bolsheviks took power the struggle was more freedom or a tight federal government..... Stalin won...he killed Trosky (who by the way was more popular at that time) and erased Trosky's name from history books.

To take your party's line and hold it as the only way of life and to belittle the other is not only ignorant but suicidal to the nation. Balance not only in power but in every aspect. There is NO BALANCE EVER in a 1 party system.

So take your hatred and choke on it, because obviously your blind patriotism is leading you down that road.

Lebell 02-13-2004 12:45 AM

I can't see any reason for this thead but to start trouble.

Locked.
