SIXTEEN WAYS TO BE A GOOD LIBERAL

E Mailed from my brother, Rick...
SIXTEEN WAYS TO BE A GOOD LIBERAL

• 1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
• 2. You have to believe that business's create oppression and governments create prosperity.
• 3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are more of a threat than nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Iran , China and North Korea .
• 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 changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.
• 6. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
• 7. 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.
• 8. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but PETA activists do.
• 9. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
• 10. 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.
• 11. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
• 12. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, or Abraham Lincoln.
• 13. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.
• 14. 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.
• 15. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag queens and transvestites should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

How about these??

17. Clamor against conservatives for stifling democracy , then

a: worship at the feet of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, and

b: allow an unelected, unaccountable oligarchy of judges to block a vote of the people in Massachusetts on the sanctity of marriage.

18. Proclaim ,as the United States Senate Majority Leader, that the President of the United States is a 'loser', that the war is lost, and the men leading the fight are " incompetent"; while the only thing close to military experience your Viet-Nam-draft-eligible-student-deferred ass has was in a "political plum " Capitol Hill Police job guarding parking lots.

.... I was just going to blog about the Rodney Atkins concert, Navy Seal parachute drop, and fireworks at the College World Series opening ceremony tonight. Thanks a lot, Rick!
