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

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

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 and 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 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 fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

10. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion of the Christ for financial gain only.

12. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

13. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, and A.G. Bell.

16. 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.

17. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House.

20. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.

21. You have to believe that it’s okay to give Federal workers off on Christmas Day but it’s not okay to say “Merry Christmas.”

How to be a Luddite:

I'm not sure why this is #1-- because the other way around is weird, too. Argue for the "Taking life is wrong" while at the same time supporting the death penalty.

I personally support both. Though really, its strange IMO to be against killing people who killed people, but at the same time being ok with killing babies.

I'm not talking about anyone tongue.gif At best the lists are a funny little tweak to chuckle over as you and friends from a different party trade barbs. At worst, both lists are prejudiced, close-minded, and designed to inspire knee-jerk reactions of disdain, or worse, hatred, for other people's opinions by cariacaturizing them to a very large degree. Given the nature of most of the topics you have started in this vein, I am guessing your goal wasn't the first.

I started it for censor.gif and giggles. Glad you enjoyed it tongue.gif

Nah, I don't think so considering Stangmar is our most nutty Right-winger.

The Demeocrat list is funnier, because I have not heard it over and over.

The Republican Jokes are just over done, and all have been repeated to much to really be funny.

Both sides can agree on one thing:

People from the desert are dangerous, and must be stopped at all airports for random checks, since they're more random than other people.
