HOW TO BE A GOOD REPUBLICAN

1. You have to believe that the nation's current 8-year prosperity was due to the work of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, but yesterday's gasoline prices are all Clinton's fault.

2. You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own.

3. You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time.

4. You have to believe that AIDS victims deserve their disease, but smokers with lung cancer and overweight individuals with heart disease don't deserve theirs.

5. You have to appreciate the power rush that comes with sporting a gun.

6. You have to believe everything Rush Limbaugh says.

7. You have to believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor.

8. You have to believe God hates homosexuality, but loves the death penalty.

9. You have to believe society is color-blind and growing up black in America doesn't diminish your opportunities, but you still won't vote for Alan Keyes.

10. You have to believe that pollution is OK as long as it makes a profit.

11. You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to Allah or Buddha.

12. You have to believe Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were really faithful husbands.

13. You have to believe speaking a few Spanish phrases makes you instantly popular in the barrio.

14. You have to believe that only your own teenagers are still virgins.

15. You have to be against government interference in business, until your oil company, corporation or Savings and Loan is about to go broke and you beg for a government bail out.

16. You love Jesus and Jesus loves you and, by the way, Jesus shares your hatred for AIDS victims, homosexuals, and President Clinton.

17. You have to believe government has nothing to do with providing police protection, national defense, and building roads.

18. You have to believe a poor, minority student with a disciplinary history and failing grades will be admitted into an elite private school with a $1,000 voucher.

See the difference between this and the first one, is that except for the cheap shot (you know, humor) with #16, all of them on the first list is true, whereas the Republican points here are just meaningless spite. Notice the few lines that mention God and Jesus - Democrats are just angry whiny babies, IMHO. Angry at God, the world, anyone that opposes their viewpoint... I mean look at #11, Liberals took Christianity out of schools, then force kids to pray to Allah for 3 weeks while wearing turbans and memorizing the Kuran. And that's the Republican's fault?


See the difference is that the first one is against democrats so you think it's true, the second is against republicans and thus offends you. You're just proving some of that blindness.

😕 The first one has statements that I find to be true in the nature of the democrat party. I can't and won't defend the republican party against 2nd because it has not substance. It's just spiteful drivel. Do I think Newt Gingrich was a scum bag? yea. Do I hunt? hell no. Do I like pollution? no way, I have an air purifier in every room and I recycle and decompose everything. Do I think AIDS victims deserve AIDS? that's just inhuman. Would I think my own teenagers are definitely still virgins? I'd be a fool to think that.

That isn't the nature of the Republican party. I know many many democrats, I know many many republicans. I can vouche for the statements in the 1st because I know people that believe the this and that. I can't vouche for the 2nd because it has no application to any single party. The 2nd doesn't offend me. I just find it ignorant.

😕 Funny, I find the first one ignorant drivel and the second remarkably close to the truth.

I'm betting you vote republican.



 
thats funny becasue i have heard both the statements and the sentiments expressed in both lists from members of each party. Does anyone really believe there is two groups of people who agree that theirs is the only way and that eithwer of them could be right??????? How could one group be completely wrong on every issue, and which one is it? How can all the thoughts and ideas in this country be broken down to this choice or that choice? Both parties have changed their platforms so many times its a joke. The GOP started out for the little guy, workers, unions, etc... they have swapped sides of the fence so much im suprised they can even keep track anymore. The sad part is the citizens of this country let themselves believe what they are told and just blame the "other group who has everything wrong", they just keep us pitted against each other while they sit in power and luxury..
 
With statements like that I think it's fair to assume that you'd still be an idiot no matter what party you belonged to.

Thanks for taking notice of me. Are you saying that IVY League schools do not practice AA? What is AA, other than a set plan to allow people in that would not otherwise make it except for some kind of quota system, no matter how loosley biased?

In other words, people are getting admitted into Ivy league schools for no other reason than their ancestry. This directly correlates to gender and race-based hiring practices employed by affirmative action.

I would never call you an idiot, because I am a gentleman. But I would say your logic is flawed.

That might not be the nature of Republicans in the real world but after reading some of the posts here one could get the impression that it's pretty close to the truth. Of course many of those who side with the Republicans here obviously have founded their beliefs on the Slanderous Rhetoric one usually hears on Limbaughtistic Talk Shows that are so popular with those who feel the need to blame others for them being disenfranchised idiots.

Granted, there is the same kind on nonsensical Rhetoric being posted by the Liberal Lunatic Fringe but it's easily dismissed because they haven't made it such an art form and they usually don't try to use argument based on things like Religious Beliefs to justify their lunacy like their Ultra Conservative Brethren do.
