What a great summary of the Dem philosophy. I'd love to put that on a t-shirt and add it to my company's line of conservative shirts. It would go well with our Definition of a Liberal shirt - "Liberal: Someone so open minded their brains have fallen out." Does anyone know the source/copyright to that list?

Funny post, but what ribbons?

[Slyfox]

You sang along to "Give Peace a Chance" during the Gulf War.

We sang that song at an anti-Bush Freeper protest. It was a riot. The stupid dem's yelled that we weren't supposed to sing that song because it was there's.

[PhiKapMom]

You've ever referred to the Military/Industrial Complex during a conversation.

Take out this one and I agree with all the rest. Having spent years around AF Materiel Command, those words are frequently used for AFMC depots and those that use are are not RATs for the most part!

[M-cubed]

I remember that load of bull well. The author of a number of interesting books, James Aubrey (I think) wrote one about "The Coming Ice Age". That was as convincing then as Global Warming is now. Next came the spray can and CFC's.

There is no end to the list of fears these neurotics on the left have about the world. As Michael Savage claims, liberal is just another name for being mentally ill.

[oyez]

......if you think everything is yours.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

Yellow ribbons, pink ribbons . . .

The up and coming theory of the day is that global warming will cause an ice age to occur.

Thanks for pix.

[Ed Condon]

I think I still have my "peach" ribbon from the MFJ.

[CombatEngineer]

That is quite a list. I must tell you thou, I am a Democrat. A real true conservative democrat, serving my country in a hot place I don't want to be.

I don't espouse much of the things in your list, but let me give you some things that I do think are pertinent.

The military industrial complex is alive and well. I see the same logos that I have seem for 30 years in every war torn place on the globe.

I guess the second ammendment thought it was ok that ordinary citizens should own armor piercing ammunition an automatic weapons.

I don't believe in abortion on demand or homosexuality.

The taxes on cigaretters, gasoline, and wages should stay high, but lets give a break to the investment crowd.

The welfare state you talk about is a serious problem. So lets stop the benefits after a couple years to quicly fix a mess it took us 40 years to create. I wonder if crime, homelessness and drug use will go up or down in the inner-cities. Of course I am sure you have not been in those neighborhoods lately.

I don't believe in a conspiracy around every corner, but I think so many Republicans are acting like so many Democrats and they follow their leaders blindly. Why?

I think unions served a purpose in the country once and then got out of control. But now we have federal laws that are ignored. You know anyone who has been fired for no cause or maybe their age? Bet you do. Or how about massive layoffs during times when the CEO of a company got a huge bonus? Happens in Rep and Dem administrations alike, but why does it happen?

I could go on and on.

[PoisedWoman]

You make good points, CE. These things get passed around the Net frequently, sometimes with just a name change from Democrat to Republican, or a couple of years ago, from Gore to Bush. Don't take it too seriously.

BTW, my mom was a Dem from a politically active union family. Salt of the earth, that bunch, all dead and gone, more's the pity.
