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 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 yuppies 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; in short, you support protecting the guilty and killing the innocent.

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 some activists who've never been outside of Seattle do.

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

11. You have to believe 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, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.

16. You have to believe Hillary Clinton is really a lady.

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 probable sex offender belongs in the White House.

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

20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.

21. You have to believe that taxpayers should pay for the education and health care of non taxpayers (illegal immigrants).

22. You have to believe that nuclear anything is likely to explode.

23. You have to believe that people arent aware that smoking causes cancer when they choose to smoke.

24. You have to believe that kids who commit crimes have "input made-up name here" disorder.

25. You have to believe that parents dont rear their children, schools and the government do.

26. You have to believe that clinton and jesse jackson are good role models.

27. You have to believe that OJ should be free and Wen Ho Lee should be locked up.

28. You have to believe that the police should be watched more and drug dealers should be watched less.

29. You have to believe that its ok for the government to take your money. And when they wants to return it, its favoritism.

the last 9 are my own but they all sum it up pretty good. democrats are morons. in another post somebody actually claimed that clinton would be remembered as a "great" president. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!! clinton will be remembered for being a leftist wacko and a discrace to the presidency. he will be remembered for sex scandals, money scandals, trashing the white house when he left, and being impeached! only a democrat can tarnish the presidency like sir van der slick meister (clinton) did.

And by this same logic, if you want to be a good Republican, you have to be smug, self-satisfied creep prone to blithe overgeneralization with a rather contorted view of what's funny.

Jeez louise - I have no problem with Republicans at all but this is the kind of silly partisan rancor that gives democracy a bad name.

Where did that come from? So Dems think that a rich celeb should go free and a scientist imigrant should be locked up? That doesn't make sense from any point of view.

Other than that, its hilarious :D if mostly untrue :D

Glad to see someone reply in kind to the &quot;if you want to be a good Republican&quot; thread. Unfortuantely I cannot say that this is funny; it is just too true. If people didn't really believe these things it would be funny though.
This is kind of off topic, but here at Pitt, the Socialist group is very active and their posters are so off the wall it's funny. The latest poster proclaims, &quot;Capitalism; Destroying your sex life?&quot; and then goes on to claim that capitalism is destructive to people's sex life because it creats a taboo againt sex and does not &quot;teach methods through which one can gain enjoyment of sexual acts&quot; in schools, lamenting that schools only focus on &quot;the mechanical and disease prevention aspects of sex&quot;. I broke into hysterical laughter in the dorm lobby when I read that poster.

EDIT: Sheesh, how did this get back to the top? For the pete's sake, let this thread die.

wtf? some of this crap is way out there.. you gotta learn to make a better list if its gonna be funny.

The line about homosexuality is about the same cracking racist jokes. Shows how o ut of touch you are.

This is how smug self-righteous conservatives want to believe democrats would think.

<<This is how smug self-righteous conservatives want to believe democrats would think.>>

No, this is how the extreme, vocal minority would have everyone else think.

Yes, many of these views are only held by a very few people, but they tend to make themselves the most visible to the public, thereby creating the image that their radical views are the norm.

I'd suggest transfering out of Oral Roberts University if you value your future earning potential.

Maybe one demo doesn't believe in all of them, but the fact that they do believe in many of them just goes to show you what they are made of. Stereotype? Well, if the shoe fits...

Do republicans actually think this?? Despite the wealth of evidence that suggests that global warming due to human activity is true, they believe that its &quot;cyclical, documented changes&quot;?? Well I have some documented changes that show that global warming is indeed occuring..

Missing from the list:

30. You oppose Nativity scenes on municipal property because of the mistaken notion of separation of church and state (it's NOT in the Constitution) but believe that taxpayer funds should be used to fund sacreligious &quot;art&quot; that offends the vast majority of people.

31. You believe that any criticism of the sacred cows of liberalism (abortion, racial preference, disarmament) means that the critics ae &quot;extreme, racist, bigoted, sexist, homophobes&quot;.

32. You believe that tobacco be outlawed and marijuana be legalized. (Note: Libertarians also believe weed should be legal, but for personal freedom issues.)

33. You believe children should be able to sue their parents but that parents may not discipline their children.

34. You may be a celebrity making $20 million per movie, owning houses around the world and having maids, cooks and assistants to tend to your every need, but you speak out against tax cuts that could help a single parent because they not needed &quot;by those greedy, selfish people.&quot;

35. You believe that Christians are stupid, superstitous people who must not be allowed to pray in school and that the Boy Scouts are a &quot;hate group&quot;.

36. You must not have a sense of humor and have to be offended by lists about Democrats, reacting with crazed, partisan hatred of non-Democrats.

Who cares if your a Republican or a DemoCROOK anyhow, the government is still going to continue to raise taxes make more crap laws and it's not going to change no matter what side is in the office. It has not shown any change at all from what I have seen.
