To Be A Good Democrat

I heard this on the radio this week and wanted to share it.  I e-mailed the station and got a copy of it. The following is a good checklist to help me remember why I am a Republican.

Things you have to believe to be a good Democrat
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-bidding 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 mom 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.

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 activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

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

11). You have to believe that 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, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.

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 a sex offender belonged in the White House.

19). You have to believe that 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 government is somehow in the best interest to the United States.

21).You have to believe it is freedom of speech according to the constitution to curse God's name in public but a crime against the constitution to say God's name in honor.

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