*That unemployment compensation for laid-off workers is socialism and multibillion-dollar bailouts for banking and stock swindlers is capitalism. *That killing women and children with high explosives in remote corners of the earth is defending “our way of life.” *That the purpose of education is to train good workers. *That immigration is good because it supplies good cheap workers. *That Earl Warren, Nelson Rockefeller, Gerald Ford, George W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Colin Powell, and Mitt Romney are great American statesmen. *That the main reason not to train women for combat is that it is inefficient. *That the 10th Amendment means that the federal government should tell the States what to do rather than do it itself. *That criticism of Lincoln is near treason. *That the President is “Commander-in-Chief” of the country, especially when he is a Republican. *That freedom is protected by undeclared wars and military tribunals. *That “right to life” is a good campaign gimmick, but not to be taken seriously. *That any campaign promise or slogan should gull the saps who are not in the know but is not to be taken seriously. *That the way to beat the Democrats is to take up whatever they propose and promise to do it better.

1. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of Muslims and Africans. 2. 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. 3. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony. 4. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is the military coup in Honduras. 5. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational drug corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation. 6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay. 7. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex. Bristol Palin is the reincarnation of Virgin Mary. 8. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies, then demand their cooperation and money. 9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart. 10. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools. 11. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which millions die is solid defense policy. 12. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet. 13. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business. 14. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio talk show host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery. 15. Supporting "Executive Privilege" for every Republican ever born, who will be born or who might be born (in perpetuity.) 16. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the 1980s is irrelevant. 17. Support for hunters who shoot their friends and blame them for wearing orange vests similar to those worn by the quail. 18. Believe it’s more important to know how to dress moose and kill wolves than know how to find Teheran on a map.
Indie TX, is that you my friend ?
The World is being held hostage by an international terrorist organization best described as INTERNATIONAL (JEWISH) BANKERS. Their willing accomplices in government and media should swing from the rope just like the banking elites.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

Good list. Powell was a commander associated with the Mei Lai massacure and I am pretty sure he lied about the affair, hence is complict as an accessory to war crimes. Not to mention whoring his name off to swindle the gullible US citizens into the endless wars of the republicans. And I know the dems are only, sadly, better.- or less worse, to be more accurate.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Hi Indie, ain't seen ya for a while. Hopoe things are going well.
To be a Republican you need to believe:
