You also may be Democrat if you believe:
That the lack of New Orleans cops in the dome to stop the rapes was the fault of BUSH, and not the fault of the MAYOR, whose department it was.
That despite hurricanes Camille and Andrew and warnings from experts going back 20 years and the fact that New Orleans is below sea level, Bush is at fault for not taking precautions for Katrina.
That the governor of Louisiana wouldn't sign over control of the Guard to the feds voluntarily, had a civilian with no military experience attempting to run that operation, waited 24 hours to "think about" Bush' offer of help, spent four hours on TV at a "prayer vigil," and Bush was at fault for the suffering.
That “Easily accessible” New Orleans should have been repaired within hours of “a little rain.”
That despite New Orleans having a Democrat Mayor, a Democrat City Council, and a Democrat Chief of Police, Louisiana having a Democrat Governor, a Democrat Lt. Governor, a Democrat Attorney General; 24 of 39 Democrat State Senators, 67 of 105 Democrat State Representatives, a Democrat Representative in the House from New Orleans, and one of two Senators a Democrat, the disaster after Hurricane Katrina was the fault of the Republicans.
That Bush is responsible for the shortage of military manpower because of the force reductions that took place in 1995.
That Bush should keep his nose out of local matters, but should have stuck his nose into New Orleans pre-emptively with troops.
That Bush should have provided buses to get people out of New Orleans, with no local request, no federal authority, no way to force people aboard, and for all those people who have cars but didn't use them.
That people couldn't evacuate from New Orleans because they didn't have cars, despite the short walking distance, the mass transit, the helpful people giving rides. Why? Because the GOVERNMENT should do it for people.
That the weather problems that have been growing for the last 100 years were created by Bush' environmental policies. Karl Rove was probably in on it, too.
That the lack of buses for evacuation in New Orleans wasn’t the fault of the mayor, but was the fault of G.W. Bush, who secretly sent the Navy SEALs in the night before to cut all the fuel lines, just so blacks would suffer.
That we should have sent people down who "cared." They wouldn't have had anywhere to stay, any supplies, any way into the city or any way to get people out other than the tools already in use. But they'd have "Cared."
That Bush was evil for creating HSA and giving FEMA so much power, and should have given it more money and more power for the Katrina disaster.
That the government should have done something about the looting in New Orleans, and not worried about the looting while more important things were going on, and stopped the looting that affected people's lives, but not stopped the looting that was people getting back at "society" for its evils, and stopped the looting, and, and...
That Bush should have stopped the looters, but in a sensitive and compassionate way that respected them as people, to get at the root cause of the looting.
That Bush was wrong for flying over New Orleans without landing, and was wrong for going into New Orleans and wasting time.
That Bush' environmental policy caused hurricane Katrina, which was not the worst storm in history.
That putting refugees into military facilities was “imprisonment,” because of course, they should all have been put up at the Hilton.
That it was a good thing to give out credit cards with $2000 on them for refugees in New Orleans to use to replace critical necessities like plasma screen TVs and Louis Vuitton purses while shopping in nearby Atlanta.
That areas below sea level and subject to flooding are wetlands and must be preserved for nature, as long as they’re occupied by white farmers and not poverty-stricken blacks and bare-breasted college chicks in New Orleans.
That Bush' policy on experimental research with stem cells, which authorized more lines than had existed previously, was insufficient.
And directly lead to the death of Christopher Reeves, as it was GUARANTEED that research would have found a cure that could have been implemented in time to save him.
That US "Dual use equipment" sold to Iraq was military aid, and the "dual use equipment" was all used for peaceful purposes.
That Kuwait, a British Protectorate until 1961, was "A legal part of Iraq" which was a British Protectorate until 1918.
That Iraq has billions of dollars worth of US military equipment like Kalashnikov rifles, Mikoyan-Gurevich planes, Mil helicopters, ZSU armored vehicles, T-72 tanks and SCUD missiles.
That the Soviet weapons Iraq had were a "Secret deal" bought with US $$, arranged by those Soviet loving presidents, Reagan and Bush.
That all nations and governments are to be respected, but the 34 nations backing the US in Iraq are backward puppets.
That "right wing" sources are "Sanitized and biased and have an agenda," so all research should be done with left wing sources that are never sanitized nor biased and have no agenda.
That despite Bush coordinating with Putin to reduce US and Russian warheads from 6000 to 2000, he's a hateful warmonger.
That a family member of a US politician getting a government contract is nepotism and fascism, but a family member of a UN politician getting a UN contract is coincidence or properly vetted.
That embedded reporters never get hurt because they're "pawns," not because they're on the SAFE SIDE of the most powerful weapons in the region when a fight starts.
That US troops have deliberately killed lots of journalists, like, um...er...um...
That Sgrena was deliberately targeted by troops who knew she was coming, while she was traveling at a moderate rate of speed that caused only moderate hydroplaning, then missed her with hundreds of bullets from an armored vehicle and barely scratched her car, killed a "security" man, detained her, released her to tell her story...oh, come ON! Not even a Communist can be stupid enough to believe this psychotic crap.
That the enlightened, non-bigoted, non-Fascist liberals of the Blue States control most of the economy, so they should get to decide the elections and economic concerns of the nation, and that the Red States are largely redneck, illiterate, Bible-thumping trash who don’t deserve a vote.
That the "intelligence failures" around Sept 11 go "all the way to the top." But only the conservative top, not the liberal top.
That the US didn't give "enough" tsunami aid (26 Dec, 2004), to people who declined to participate in the Tsunami Warning System when it was set up in 1948.
That after the US did give "Enough," it was evil for "undermining" the UN, the only body with the "moral authority" to give aid, by setting up a joint venture with the UK, Australia and Japan to deliver it.
That the UN would have been as honest with tsunami aid as they were with the Oil for Food program. Oh, wait...
That the tsunami's 250,000 casualties were an unprecedented disaster that had to be dealt with at once, unlike the millions of ongoing dead in Africa.
That Bush was wrong for not speaking out about the tsunami at once, but it was okay for Kofi Annan to finish his three day ski trip in Jackson Hole before flying back to New York to "lead the effort."
That global warming is a serious issue because if the average temperature rises another 1˚C, it will be almost as warm as it was during the Viking Era.
That Bill Clinton operating in Somalia and Haiti without a UN mandate was good, but G.W. Bush operating in Iraq without a UN mandate was bad.
That France operating in Cote d’Ivoire without a UN mandate is okay, but the US operating in Iraq without a UN mandate is bad.
That the potential profit from oil in Iraq makes the entire war unjustified and immoral, and we should instead go to war in Zimbabwe where there are no US interests, just to prove our morality.
That the people of Iraq must therefore be sacrificed for the moral good, to avoid the risk of an immoral profit.
That gas prices went up not because of growing industry in Asia, new regulations on refining and civil unrest in Venezuela, but because “Bush has oil interests.”
That gas prices are going up because of the oil companies’ political maneuverings. This would mean there is no shortage driving the prices. (Jim Satterfield)
That the rise of oil prices in 2000 six months before the election was Bush’s fault.
That a neighborhood watch is a good thing, unless that neighborhood is on the border where illegal immigrants flood through, in which case it's racist vigilanteism.
That liberal Democrats are not racists, and voted against Condi Rice purely from principle, while criticizing Bush for not having "enough" minorities in his cabinet.
That we have a "right wing" press who made serious hay out of this event.
That allowing military recruiters on campus violates the professors' "Free speech" to speak ill of the military.
That Caucasians who riot or kill should be jailed, but minorities who riot or kill are misunderstood and lashing out against repression the only way they have. This is not a condescending, racist attitude.
That "Africans" have a "different sense of time" than Caucasians, and it is wrong to fire a black employee for tardiness or absenteeism. This attitude is not condescending or racist toward blacks.
That legislators fleeing the state to prevent a vote is a "Stand."
That collectively storming out of Congress because the Supreme Court made a decision you didn't like isn't a temper tantrum worthy of a three year old.
That selling out your party and swapping alliances after giving voters your word is an act of bravery.
That the Patriot Act, allowing the government to obtain library or bookstore records as “an important tool for investigating and intercepting terrorism” even though they haven't done so is morally repugnant, but banning assault weapons that haven't been used in crime IS "An important tool for fighting crime and terrorism."
That one should serve 2 years in jail for possessing but not using an “assault weapon” in California, and get probation for molesting one’s children.
That by sending food to Saddam we lightened his economic burden so he could buy weapons, therefore we bought him weapons.
That Enron and Arthur Andersen broke the law under Bill Clinton and were punished under George Bush and this is the fault of the Republicans.
That free trade is bad but open borders are good.
That enlisting in the military and traveling to Iraq to fight is a stupid and cowardly copout to the Neocon conspiracy, but ripping "Bless Our Troops" stickers off cars is a brave act of defiance.
That poor people "Have to" enlist in the US Military, because of a Neocon conspiracy to deprive them of jobs.
That the predominantly college educated white male membership of the US military are "minorities" who had no choice but to enlist.
That the predominantly college educated membership of the US military are "poor dumb cattle" who are ignorant of politics.
That there is a "Growing 'Progressive' majority" who apparently don't vote.
That the conspiracy around elections is so huge that Kerry only won CA by 9%.
That 51% is not a mandate for GW Bush, but 38% was a landslide for bill clinton.
That someone on death row who asks to stop appeals and die is sick and incompetent and should be kept alive, but a person who chooses to die when sick should be allowed to.
That the US sold Saddam the weapons of mass destruction he didn't have.
That closing military installations is a good thing, unless it's a base in a liberal congressleech's district that spends billions to employ hundreds.
That a crucifix in a jar of urine is "art" and a Quran in a restroom at a prison is a "Hate crime."
That one should never criticize a person's physical appearance or infirmities, and Ann Coulter is a "deformed skank."
That to counterpoint a "mean people suck" bumper sticker, one should also stick on a "neuter Newt" sticker. And it's not a mean sentiment.
That Alan Greenspan is controlled by Karl Rove, who had him appointed under Bill Clinton.
That it is acceptable for Muslims to kill Christians and Jews, kill missionaries, burn Bibles, destroy Hindu shrines and build mosques from the rubble, but if an American kicks a Quran, it's a war crime and we're running a "gulag."
That the best way to make a statement is to wear a "Defeat Capitalism and Bush!" Tshirt when ordering coffee at Starbucks.
That a good liberal opposes letting people use guns to defend themselves and their businesses because of the benefits of crime to police, insurance companies and large corporations who can afford the loss their smaller competitors can't. Only a "rightwinger" would support letting an individual engage in self-determination.
That when a Democrat Congress refused to support Bush’s tax policy and shut down the government, that was the Republican’s fault, and when a Republican Congress refused to support Clinton’s tax policy and shut down the government, that was the Republican’s fault, too.
That the Bush administration imprisoned dozens of people under the guise of the war on terror, far worse than FDR’s imprisonment of only 110,000 Nissei, German-Americans and Italian-Americans in WWII.
That Republican Strom Thurmond should have apologized for his party’s actions regarding civil rights in the 1950s, when he was a Democrat.
That no Republican ever helped civil rights, except possibly Abraham Lincoln.
That Democrats run all the low-crime, high-standard of living cities like Detroit, Atlanta, Chicago and DC.
That Bush started a war in Iraq for no good reason, unlike the wars Bill Clinton started in Bosnia, Somalia, Iraq, Haiti and Bosnia.
That Bush cleverly used a time machine to go back to 1987 to give Bechtel contracts in Iraq.
That democrats believe in free speech and artistic expression, like Tipper Gore with her Parents Music Resource Center.
That bill clinton was great for keeping a defense plant open and saving “hundreds of jobs” at a cost of several billion dollars, when he could have paid the employees $1 million lump sum each in severance and spent less.
That using taxpayer money to send poor inner city children to the same schools rich liberals send their children to is “elitist.”
That to keep the pet rats one is giving away safe, a simple note of “No breeders or feeders” will suffice. And of course, ALL labs prefer using pets of unknown origin to lab raised rats with a clean genetic background.
That it is IMPOSSIBLE for a nation to survive with a lower tax rate than we have now. No nation has EVER done it. The US barely survived to the present day without proper taxation.
That as soon as “the rich” are “properly taxed” the investment of new capital by those taxed immediately and without delay improves the overall economy.
That a class war is undesirable, as long as those thieving rich Republicans are made to pay. (Howard Dean had this on his campaign site).
That Americans are bad for not learning the local language when legally traveling abroad, and Americans are bad for not learning the language of our illegal immigrants.
That we can shoot a projectile into a comet by radio control from several million miles away, but that it is “impossible” to shoot down a missile.
That it is impossible to shoot down a missile, and all those successful trials and the several successes with 1960s designed Patriots are flukes.
That Bush is an idiot who couldn’t help in New Orleans, and should have done more in New Orleans.
That Bush is an evil genius who started a war for profit motives and to get re-elected, and made billions and got re-elected, and is an idiot who has no idea what he’s doing in Iraq.
That Bush had hundreds of non-Americans imprisoned on a temporary basis, and is worse than Hitler, unlike FDR who only imprisoned 110,000 Americans of Japanese, German and Italian descent on US soil and confiscated their property, and was an icon of liberal compassion.
That the press who cruised by people stuck on their roofs during the New Orleans disaster were doing the “Right thing” by “drawing attention” to it without helping.
That the minor celebrities criticizing the press for that were “just trying to make money by drawing attention to themselves.”
That taking the above, no celebrity should ever make a comment about a disaster. Unless it’s a liberal comment, then it’s okay.
That a conservative government has an obligation to appoint far left judges and cabinet members for “balance,” and a liberal government has an obligation to appoint far left judges and cabinet members to “keep the right out of power.” For balance, of course.
That the US hasn’t been attacked since Sept 11, and we are therefore less safe.
That conservatives who voted based on fears of further attacks are paranoid. Liberals who voted the other way based on fears of further attacks are realistic.
That Osama bin Laden and other self-declared enemies didn’t like Bush, therefore the best thing to do would be to take their advice on who to elect.
That Bush deliberately created environmental conditions to create a hurricane for the purpose of killing blacks.
That Bush had sufficient power to create major storms and major disasters. Maybe we should pray to him in case he becomes a wrathful God.
That Bush was simultaneously an idiot incapable of dealing with Iraq, and a diabolical schemer running a conspiracy so large that none can stop it.
By the way: Bush is Hitler.
That it was a Good Thing when bill clinton bombed peasants in Bosnia to force sociopath Milosevic to take pity on them and surrender, which he didn’t, and it wasn’t fascistic, incompetent or cruel.
That it was a Bad Thing when Bush liberated Iraq from sociopath Hussein, caught him and began building infrastructure, because it was fascistic, incompetent and cruel.
That cyclical variations in climate disprove some of the outlandish claims of Creationists, but not some of the outlandish claims of proponents of “Global Warming.”
That nuclear waste is a horrible disaster waiting to happen, because there is no way to contain it, despite the 2 billion year old natural reaction sites at Oklo, Gabon.
That radiation from nuclear reactions is dangerous for millions of years, and yet people live at Ground Zero in Hiroshima.
That coal is safer than nuclear, despite coal plant explosions killing more people than nuclear, mining killing more people than nuclear, and waste products in the atmosphere killing more people than nuclear.
That GW Bush was responsible for failing to sign the Kyoto Protocols in the 1990s.
That it was a good idea to drill for oil in ANWR in the 1990s when oil investor Al Gore was Vice President, and a bad idea to drill for oil in ANWR in the 2000s when oil investor GW Bush was president.
That a secret Israeli nuclear test caused the earthquake that led to the Dec 26, 2004 tsunami. There are no natural events.
That anti-globalization protestors should use big airlines to fly to Sydney to protest capitalism and globalism.
That the US should “consider other nations’ interests” when we vote. Of course, those nations naturally extend us the same courtesy.
That Alan Greespan is a Republican puppet controlled by Karl Rove, who had him put into power under bill clinton.
That the press has a right wing bias, and the person reporting this is a left wing news commentator.
That one should make up for buying a Mercedes SUV that will never go off road or even bump a railroad track with an “environment” license plate.
That unilateral action in Iraq after Hussein bankrolled terrorists in a foreign country (suicide bombers against Israel), violated 7 U.N. orders over 12 years and sparred with three different administrations was wrong, but unilateral action in Kosovo for purely internal matters was right.
That Kosovo and Bosnia were an immediate threat to the US and our interests and Iraq was not.
That “Bush lied and people died” about being out of Iraq in an undefined amount of time, and Clinton told the truth about being out of Bosnia in six months.
That Bush lied about WMD in Iraq, but Wesley Clark testifying before Congress about WMD in Iraq was just “mistaken.”
That Bush got into the Guard through favors that arranged for him to have a technical degree, perfect eyesight and balance and the ability to pass a flight physical so he could serve in a unit that had already deployed once to Vietnam.
That the 1998 doubling of Halliburton’s military contracts from $284 million was Bush’s fault.
That the Bush administration is helping corporate corruption by convicting or indicting executives of Enron, Arthur Andersen, Tyco International, Worldcom, Adelphia Communications Corporation, Credit Suisse First Boston, HealthSouth Corporation and others, including Martha Stewart, and having the Department of Justice bring charges against 20 executives of Enron alone, and its Corporate Fraud Task Force winning convictions of more than 250 persons to date, and signing the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation in 2002, imposing stringent new accounting rules in the wake of the Arthur Andersen scandal.

That Steven Kelman, who was administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy during the Clinton administration stating, “One would be hard-pressed to discover anyone with a working knowledge of how federal contracts are awarded...who doesn't regard these allegations (Halliburton) as being somewhere between highly improbable and utterly absurd,” in the Washington Post is lying.
And so is Bill Clinton's Undersecretary Of Commerce William Reinsch who said, “Halliburton has a distinguished track record. They do business in some 120 countries. This is a group of people who know what they're doing in a difficult business. It's a particularly difficult business when people are shooting at you.” (Raleigh, NC) News & Observer
That Halliburton’s $7 billion contract authorization, for which they billed the government $2.5 billion, is a Republican-run ripoff.
That despite having lost the LOGCAP contract in 1997, Halliburton was awarded a no-bid contract by the Clinton administration to perform work for US troops in the Balkans. This is corruption by the Bush administration.
That there’s no point in investigating the fraud in the UN "Oil-for-Food" program instead of Halliburton because Saddam Hussein and Kofi Annan are not candidates in the next presidential election.
That no individual bears blame for wrongdoing. It’s society’s fault. To fix those faults, society needs more power to reign in those ills.
That hurting the stockholders of Enron is a good lesson to other corporations. The thousands of peons unemployed by this are of no concern to a true liberal.
That we should raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour, so we can find out what a $50 cheeseburger tastes like.
That corporate income tax is a good way to get revenue without hurting the individual, because no corporation EVER considers the tax and expense as something to be charged to the consumer.
That the government couldn’t be trusted to treat native peoples and blacks fairly, but can be trusted to treat everyone fairly in the future. This is not racist.
That the Blue States have more infrastructure and industrial wealth, and therefore their votes should count more than those agriculturalists in the Red States. This is not a Fascistic endorsement of corporatism.
That Democrats who appoint blacks and make press releases about it are not racist, but Republicans who appoint black and just get on with business are racist.
That blacks appointed by Republicans are usually pale by the “Brown bag” test, and therefore not black enough to really be counted as black. The person telling you this is a white liberal and not a racist.
That the liberals in State Dept arranged sales of commonly sold materials such as chemicals and university grade disease samples for study to Iraq, while the conservatives in Defense objected. Twenty years later, this is the fault of conservatives.
That Hussein converted crop dusters to spray chemicals and mount guns. This is our fault for selling them to him. Obviously, anyone’s motives for buying agricultural equipment should be examined. This is not paranoid when done by liberals. When done by conservatives, it’s a paranoid attempt to cause peasants to starve. Even if it’s the same incident.
That Powell and Condi were appointed because of traits such as loyalty, intelligence and competence, not because of their race. This proves Bush is racist because he didn’t find people with darker skin to improve black “visibility.”
That Bush was the first consecutively elected governor of TX, president for two terms, a Major League Baseball team owner, an energy CEO, a fighter pilot, a key player in another president’s election, a Harvard and Yale graduate, and a “failure.” The person telling you this is a fast food slinger with a “successful” blog.
That anyone who doesn't serve in the military is a coward, unless they're a liberal.
That anyone who can't serve in the military should volunteer to be a contractor, but contractors are money grubbing mercenaries.
That “Weapons of Mass Destruction” in Iraq refers to an intact, armed nuke with a delivery system, but in the US refers to common self-loading rifles.
That the US Army has troops in the Balkans collecting imminent danger pay for some unfathomable reason, because Bill Clinton brought peace to it in the 1990s for a mere $5 billion, and ended the war there.
The Iraq War was about oil. Look at how much we got from Iraq between 1991 and 2005.
That Iraq wasn’t behind 9-11, just like Germany wasn’t behind 12-7.
That the best way to persuade someone to your political position is to abandon all those conservative trappings such as manners, politeness and dress, and just scream at them while wearing a tie-dyed T-shirt with a pot leaf on it.
That all intellectuals appreciate the cleverness of an epithet such as "Chimpy McShrubya Bu$hitler."
That such insults are useful for reducing divisiveness and will ensure political opponents will listen carefully to your arguments.
That the Bush Administration is inept because they haven't been able to capture or kill bin Laden, but the Clinton Administration is the hallmark of competence because they had two prime opportunities to take bin Laden out... and refused to give the go-ahead.
That Bush has made us less safe, but anyone who proposes new anti-terror policies is exploiting fear.
That you will persuade people of your position by dropping leaflets from overpasses, onto the windshields of swiftly moving cars.
That you will persuade even more people by duct-taping misspelled day-glo posterboard to the chainlink of pedestrian bridges.
That riding shotgun with Ted Kennedy is safer than shooting shotguns with Dick Cheney.
That anyone who was a liberal (or libertarian or whatever) in college still had the exact same political opinions as they did then, and if they don't, it's because they sold out.
That all poor people are democrats, unless they’re traitors to the species. No poor person is allowed to believe in free enterprise.
That people can’t afford good housing because of exploitation, not because they waste money on booze, tobacco, car stereos and fancy rims.
That Kuwait was “Always part of Iraq” just like California was “Always part of Mexico.”
That Iraq is unstable with Shia, Sunni and Kurdish regions, and is entitled to annex Kuwait, which will make the divisiveness better.
That it’s not important that a person online who claims to be a political scientist can’t spell “Facism,” (sic) you should respect his expertise on “Oil War II.”
That the war in Iraq is about oil, because 1.5% of our oil comes from there.
That exit polls and surveys are never wrong, so if the election turns out differently than predicted, it must have been rigged.
That only 112,000 people would benefit by the repeal of the death tax, so it’s not worth repealing. Conversely, every working person in America will suffer from that loss of revenue.
That Mark Foley sending suggestive IMs to an 18 year old is a horrible scandal and condemnation of the Republican Party, but Barney Frank having sex with 12 year old boys is a “private matter.”
That Mark Foley sending suggestive IMs to an 18 year old is a horrible abuse of power, unlike Bill Clinton having sex with an intern, which was a “private matter.”
That Mark Foley sending suggestive IMs to a page in 2005 wasn’t worthy of notice, until election time 2006.
That Mark Foley sending suggestive IMs to a page in 2005 wasn’t an issue, but in 2006 it became traumatic to the poor victim.
That Bush has a massive conspiracy to cover up Sept 11, but couldn’t hide Cheney’s hunting incident.
That you should never insult someone over physical appearances they can’t help and G. W. Bush LOOKS LIKE A CHIMP!
That John Kerry really cared about the poor, which is why he never let them live in the four houses he wasn’t using, and never donated a mere .5% of his $500 million to charity. What’s important is that WE contribute.
That Bush Sr was bad for vetoing more bills than anyone since Coolidge, and Bush Jr was bad for not vetoing less bills than anyone since Woodrow Wilson.
That Bush created Islamic fundamentalism in 1993.
That Bush is a puppet for listening to Karl Rove, but if he were to listen to a liberal advisor, that would make him a wise thinker.
That Rs who carry through on their campaign promises are "idealogues," and Ds who renege on theirs are "honest and ethical."
That the Republicans under Bush raising the deficit is "Morally indefensible," and the Republicans under Clinton refusing to raise the deficit is "Morally indefensible."
That Saddam was a war criminal for committing genocide, but his conviction was "questionable."
That the Iraqis are just as good as the rest of us, but incapable of holding a fair trial.
That there's suspicion Saddam's trial was not really handled by the Iraqis, but by "foreign interests." The solution to this is for the UN to assist, without being "foreign interests."
That Saddam's sentence of death is "cruel and unusual" in the wake of an "unfair trial." We should not make assumptions about the case, except the assumption that it was unfair.
That Saddam might not actually be guilty of gassing Kurds, raping and torturing men and women in prison, exterminating villages and executing dissenters. It might have been…someone who looked like him. Yeah, that's it. Or maybe he was ORDERED to by like, the CIA! I'll bet Karl Rove was in on it!
That the US orchestrated Saddam's execution, because it was easier than dropping a grenade down the hole.
That the death penalty was wrong, executing Saddam was murder, and Bush should hang for it.
That it doesn't matter that Saddam was tried under his own laws. Bush should still hang for it. Because!
That Bush CREATED Islamic Fascism, in 1993. (This is an exact quote)
That the press are a vast, right wing conspiracy who show the military to be dumb, evil and brutal, Ken Lay and other capitalists as corrupt, expose Republican sex crimes, because all these people are left wing activists.
That the press are a vast, right wing conspiracy who extol the virtues and hide the sins of hardcore rightwingers like Teddy Kennedy, Barney Frank and Michael Moore.
That Michael Moore is only making millions of dollars so he can give it to charity.
That Saddam Hussein, with a net worth of over $109 billion, was "left wing."
That Saddam Hussein was good for Iraq, because he didn't kill that many people, apart form purges, a war with Iran and over 400,000 executions. But still, he wasn't a bad guy, and things were better with him in charge.
That Bill Clinton's masterful cruise missile attack against Hussein in 1993, following allegations of death threats against former President Bush, was only a peaceful gesture.
That clinton's combat operations against Iraq in 1993, 1998, and against Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, Somalia, Haiti and Bosnia show just how peaceful he was.
That Reagan creating jobs at $30,000 a year was just a case of the "Rich getting richer," as we were told by Michael Dukakis when he spoke to "middle class people like you" at a country club at a $1000 a plate dinner.
That it's outrageous and immoral for the government to track people, even criminals, except gun owners, Christians, and business owners.
That the close election of 2004 was definitely rigged, but the close election of 2006 definitely was not.
That Iraq should not be left dependent on the US, and Iraq should not be allowed to sell oil, because "it just proves the war was about oil." Iraq should develop other resources, such as…er…um…well…
That liberal programs raising the minimum wage and guaranteeing medical care to everyone (except the self-employed and family businesses, who don't count) have made Massachusetts the "Best state in the country for working people," as long as you disregard the crime, bureaucracy, high retail prices and $2000 a month rent.
That government can't be trusted, and the government should do something about it!
That Kerry was good because a majority of incarcerated felons voted for him, and Bush was bad because a majority of soldiers, sailors, Airmen and Marines voted for him.
That China is our best trading partner, we should love China, but we shouldn't export jobs because it's bad for America.
That supporting oneself with a job makes one a "slave," but subsisting on charity from the government makes one "free" and "empowered."
That money is being wasted building infrastructure in Iraq, because the Iraqis lack the training to properly defend it, but we shouldn't use more US troops to defend that infrastructure and money.
That there are no US interests in Iraq, so we should pull out, and redeploy to Darfur, where there are lots of US interests, such as…um…er…
That "Faux News" is thoroughly inaccurate, biased, and offers nothing substantive about the war in Iraq, which is why it's the preferred media of the US military.
That poor black soldiers are being "exploited" by the military, and middle class white soldiers getting the same pay are "overpaid mercenaries."
That the Iraqis should take more charge of their nation and run it their way, as long as they do so in a progressive, western fashion.
That lies, deceit and disorder are good if they "Start a dialog."
That only people who have served in the military can support the war. Anyone who hasn't served isn't entitled to an opinion because they can't know how horrible war is. Of course, no service is needed to oppose the war.
That if someone who supports the war claims to be a veteran, it should be loudly shouted that they didn't really serve in combat, only in a "support position."
That if someone who did really serve in combat supports the war, it should be loudly announced that they were only an infantryman, not educated in the niceties of sociology, and therefore not entitled to an opinion.
That sexual infidelity among democrats proves they are "charismatic men who can get laid," but sexual infidelity among Republicans proves they are "amoral."
That the US Army uses "terrorism." You know: Killing people instead of starting a dialog.
That the US spends billions of dollars for Palestine, Guam, Puerto Rico, aid all over Africa, the Marshall Islands and elsewhere for the privilege of being "Imperial."
That freeing Cuba, the Philippines and half of the Pacific from Spanish and then Japanese occupation was "imperialistic."
