You Know You're a Liberal If...

Posted on 02/26/2003 1:59:01 PM PST by Cinnamon Girl

You know you're a liberal if...

1. You're protesting President Bush for what YOU THINK he will do to harm innocent civilians, but the million or so murders Saddam Hussein HAS committed are not relevant to you.

2. Sweden has the ideal society.

3. Martin Sheen is an actor who is smart enough to engage in political discussion. Ronald Reagan should never have been elected President because he's just an actor, for crying out loud.

4. The amount of money it will cost each individual citizen to pay for the WAR is important to consider. The amount of money welfare, food stamps, and medicare cost each individual citizen is irrelevant, and selfish to consider.

5. When people try to discuss the current administration with you, your face becomes red, you raise your voice and use the words: "idiot" and "oil" repeatedly.

6. You think Helen Thomas is an intelligent, gutsy lady and a dynamite reporter.

7. You think all war is evil. And Jimmy Carter is a voice a reason.

8. You're still not clear about what exactly was wrong with Communism.

9. Your parents paid for you to go to an expensive private college and five years later you still spend more time protesting than earning a living.

10. You don't like the sight of guns or soldiers, even in a Disney movie.

Oi...

Please if you could, save the verbose anti-logic.

"If you want to make smoking dope legal, you are a LIBERAL"

Liberal= Not Conservative, Dont [cannot] think correctly, Lack reasoning skills, Have a twisted mindset [usually stemming from unforgiveness and bitterness], Have a contrary spirit, Are not pure in motive, Dishonest etc, etc.

From this site (italics comments theirs)

'Win Without War' Releases New Talking Points

(2003-02-25) -- Win Without War, the coalition of organizations planning a "virtual march" on Washington, D.C., this week released a new list of talking points to guide people who call the capitol to protest disarming Iraq through threat-of-force.

The group encourages callers to use their own "heartfelt" words instead of compelling, thought-out reasons. Here is an excerpt from the talking points list:

We can disarm Saddam Hussein without invading Iraq. Despite 12 years of failing to do so, I just feel that we can.

A U.S.-led invasion of Iraq would be the greatest terrorist recruitment tool that Osama bin Laden could imagine. We feel afraid of terrorists and should never do anything that might make them angry.

We can't control war. Experts warn that an attack on Iraq could seriously undermine and destabilize regimes in the region, upsetting monarchs and dictators who also don't like us.

What happens after war? Are we prepared to occupy Iraq for years to come? Think of how long it will take just to de-toxify the WMD landfills, and to give medical treatment to the Iraqi people who have been exposed to chemical and biological agents. Then there's the trials for crimes against humanity. We don't have time for all that.

The administration hasn't convinced our allies or the American public.

According to a recent poll:

- 59 % of Americans believe the president should give the United Nations more time;
- 63% said Washington should not act without the support of its allies;
- 87% think 'Joe Millionaire' should have picked the other woman.

Many innocents will be killed or injured, and Saddam doesn't need any help doing that. So let's just allow him to continue killing his own people?

Young Americans will die in battle...War should be the very last resort. First we should pass at least 18 resolutions in the U.N. Security Council, spend almost a year trying to build an international coalition to pressure Saddam to disarm, and continue to take no action even if he doesn't comply with our U.N. resolutions.

If you think that Ted Kennedy was an innocent victim of a bad Oldsmobile.

So according to you, x42 was a conservative because he not only didn't make it legal, he put more people in jail for doing it than any who had gone before him.

Sorry, you are simply wrong - even though you used a nice, big, colored font to express your wrongness in.

... if you think that you are for "freedom of speech" as you insist that abortion protesters be jailed.

... if you think that you are for "choice" when you insist that guns be banned.

... if you think that the government has no business being inside anyone's bedroom, except to confiscate guns.

... if you think that "every vote should count", unless the Senate is contemplating voting to confirm a Conservative judge.

... if you think that it is OK to sue tobacco companies to recover tax funds spent on cancer victims, as long as the big money court awards go to rich trial lawyers and politicians who give the money away hiring bureaucrats to do anything except fight the ills of tobacco.

... if you think that "states' rights" are a sham when it comes to abortion laws, but are the cat's meow when it comes to ruling on federal elections.

... if you think that the end of the current Ice Age has been caused by "global warming" machine emissions over the last 20,000 years.

... if you think that last minute pardons of Billionaires like Marc Rich mean that you are a man of the common people.

... if you think that lying under oath is OK when it's "just about sex".

... if you think that Republicans should have to go to the UN for inspectors and war approval, but that Democrats' can ignore the UN (e.g. against Serbia/Kosovo 1999).

... if you think that everyone's wealth should be redistributed, except your own.

... if you think that it's cool to debase our culture and international reputation with drugs, sex, mindless "art", and off-the-wall opinions, unless you are a right-wing cowboy.

... if you think that "hate speech" should be outlawed.

... if you think that the color of your skin should get you preferential (or detrimental) treatment by hiring companies and agencies (and university admissions).

... if you would lay down your life to protect and empower a brutal Middle-Eastern dictator, but wouldn't even date someone in the U.S. military.

... if you would protest a year-long "rush to war" by the U.S., but wouldn't even carry a sign demanding that Iraq comply with UN inspectors or disarm.

According to me...

Anyone who wants smoking dope to be legal, is a LIBERAL.

--You think corporations are evil because they don't do enough recruiting in poor and minority neighborhoods, thereby exploiting those people.

--You think the military is evil because they do too much recruiting in poor and minority neighborhoods, thereby exploiting those people.

If you believe that cutting military funding and closing live fire ranges is a good thing but can't figure out why it's so damn hard to find one madman hiding in an underdeveloped continent.

You know you're a liberal if you believe that shows should be on television based on principle, not on ratings.

You know you're a liberal if you look out over a community of homes, the way a farmer once looked out over a field of grain, and you get a little catch in your throat--as you think to yourself, "tax base."

You know you're a liberal if you think Native Americans had never been exposed to greed, selfishness, or self-conceit prior to the arrival of the white man. Sometimes this makes you cry.

You know you're a liberal if you think longshoreman are oppressed working men who toil long hours with little pay and no security. (Even when you find out they make more than you do and you have a masters in public policy.)

This one tries your faith a little bit.

You now you're a liberal if you think Disney's Pocahantas was really pretty close to the historical story, because you read somewhere how the animators had read some articles on her life.

You know you're a liberal if the thought of a dozen school children praying together in the classrom gives you the chills, but the chance to take a fourteen year girl for an abortion, without her parents consent, makes you feel like a Harriet Tubman.

Okay, I have to stop now. I'm getting sick.

You know that you are a Liberal when caught in hypocrisy and someone points it out you call it a personal attack.

Example: RFKjr on Sean Hannity and the windmills. Jr. Was for the windmills in San Francisco but not in his own backyard. Also he lambasts people that drive in SUV yet he rides in gas guzzling limo's.

How about this one when Babs Striesand was filming Prince of Tides in Beaufort SC. Those Marine F-18 were to loud for her highness at O dark thirty in the morning. Well she called the Commanding General of the base and DEMANDED the flight operations to stop.

The General's reply that is the sound of freedom and he authorized high performance (Afterburners) takeoffs.

...if you and your dead family can vote more than once in any election.

...You despise anything that apears to have semblance to the military e.g. boyscouts and Civil Air Patrol


...You think dodgeball is harmfull to the self esteem of kids but say nothing about the kids that have to dodge bullets in order to get to school


My final one is you know that you are a Liberal because you Reelected a crackhead for the Mayor of Washington DC Marion Barry.
