This should ruffle a few feathers
It's Tough to be a Republican in 2004, because somehow, you have to
believe that:
1. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
2. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our
highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
3. "Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving
their jobs to India.
4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but
multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all
humankind without regulation.
5. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're
a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our
prayers for your recovery.
6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in
speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
7. Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins, unless you someday run
for governor of California as a Republican.
8. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
9. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies,
then demand their cooperation and money.
10. HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.
11. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing
health care to all Americans is socialism.
12. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but
creationism should be taught in schools.
13. It is okay that the Bush family's "Carlisle Group" has done
millions of business with the Bin Laden family.
14. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when
Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business
with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden"
diversion.
15. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable
offense. A president lying about WMD existence, to enlist support for
an unprovoked, undeclared war, in which thousands die, is, somehow,
solid "defense" policy in a "War against Terrorism".
16. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the
Constitution, which include "banning gay marriages and censoring the
Internet".
17. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but
George Bush's Harken Oil stock trade should be sealed in his Daddy's
library, and is none of our business.
18. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John
Ashhahahahaha can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a
right to adopt.
19. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest,
but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.
20. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but
trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a "spirit of international
harmony".
21. Affirmative Action is wrong, but that it is OK for your Daddy and
his friends to get you into Yale, the Texas Air National Guard,
Harvard Business School, part ownership of Harken Oil, part ownership
of the Texas Rangers, the Governorship of Texas and then have the
Supreme Court appoint you President of the USA.
