18 WAYS TO BE A GOOD DEMOCRAT

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 citizens are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Iran or 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 changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.

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

8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-g! raders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

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

11. 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 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.

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

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 that homosexual parades displaying drag queens and transvestites should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

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

I have to believe that you are delusional.

I am a Democrat and do not have to believe anything to be a member of my party. Unlike the Republican Party where you have to believe that all that tripe is received truth.

To quote myself “I am not rich enough, religious enough, delusional enough , selfish enough or self righteous enough to be a Republican.”

That's good Greg, the first step in the healing process is admitting your problem.

BTW, it is humor!

I prefer to be a problem instead of having a problem.

I guess I won't maje a good democrat, I believe this message is the work of a lone, out of touch with reality person.

And let me just add that "7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding. " is among the most stupid pieces of delusional tripe I've read in my not so short life.

I liked it and won't disagree, but let's remember alot on this list fits some Republicans as well today. As much as I envisioned Hillary Clinton as I read each item, so too did shadow configurements of Michael Bloomberg creep up the sides of my walls.

And this would be opposed to being a good republican governor who is fine with taking humann life with caital punishment and opposed to abortion which has NOT been proven to be taking anything other than potential human life?

Things like this should come with a heads up warning...I almost washed my screen down with coffee as I read this...

I don't often laugh out loud or talk to myself but this had me going...

I will put the humor icon on the post next time for the right wingers since I know most lefties lack that capacity.

What other false e-mail from 1994 are going to be pasted here?
