I don't agree with these, these are just something a friend of mine posted and facebook and now there's a rather heated discussion about it. Your thoughts?




How to be a good Democrat



1. You have to believe 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 Americansare more of a threat, than US 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.

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'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 Steinmen are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison.

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.

Some of them are funny, some are typical snooty cheap shots. Some are downright idiotic.

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.

The NRA protects your right to firearms. The ACLU deals with basic civil rights. Big difference there. They're just being vague and banking on the fact that people are dumb

I don't know about anybody else, but I find it really annoying when people assosiate democracy with the US...It started in ancient Greece, and now there are democratic nations on every single continent...sooo the US doesn't represent democracy and the president of the USA is not "the leader of the free world"

This is just dumb lol socialism is a completely different ideology than democracy

Take it light heartedly guys, it's just a cheap shot for the sake of humour. I'm leaning left and it gave me a giggle.

How to be a good Democrat



1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.


If you find this funny, you believe the AIDS virus is spread by gays being allowed to marry.


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.


If you find this funny, you think the same kids who've been buggering each other since junior high are going to stay celibate until marriage.


3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americansare more of a threat, than US nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Chinese communists.


If you find this funny, you believe a nuclear war can be won.


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


If you find this funny, you don't understand art.


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.

If you find this funny, then you think polar bears drowning is high comedy.


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

If you find this funny, you only support children until they're born. After that, screw 'em!


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

If you find this funny, you thought the guys behind the Enron scandal got a bad rap.


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

If you find this funny, you're a redneck.


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

If you find this funny, you've probably never earned anything and were given everything you have on a silver platter, you spoiled schmuck.


11. You have to believe the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.

If you find this funny, you think there's never been a corrupt American politician and the CIA is completely guilt-free.


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.

If you find this funny, you're the type of moron who thinks all liberals oppose the 2nd Amendment, and would be in for a big surprise if you tried to come in my house unannounced.


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

If you find this funny, you're stupid enough to think the current batch of Republicans have been spending our tax dollars wisely and all's well with the economy.


14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinmen are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison.

If you find this funny, you believe that Fox News provides unbiased reporting.


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

If you find this funny, you think America's racial problems are history.


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

If you find this funny, you'd bang Barbara Bush before Hillary.


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.


If you find this funny, you don't understand socialism.


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

If you find this funny, you think things are better now under Bush than they were under Clinton.


19. You have to believe that transvestites and bestiality should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.


If you find this funny, you'd support genocide against gay people and you hate that part of the Constitution about Freedom Of Religion.


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


If you find this funny, you look the other way when McCain receives massive amounts of funding from those who support terrorist organizations in South America (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/02/mccain-fundraiser-oversaw_n_110354.html).


21. You have to believe that this letter is part of a vast right wing conspiracy

Nah, I just believe it's really lame. I have no party affiliation, but I hate Republicans slightly more than Democrats.
