I am your worst nightmare - I have to admit it, I may be a GOOD American.
My car gets 35 miles per gallon, I earn my pay check without manipulating stock prices and I don’t cheat on my tax.
I believe the money borrowed by our government needs to be paid back and not stolen from my parent’s social security funds. I don’t trust some board room billionaire with a bad comb-over not to bribe his congressman into handing out both a corporate pocket liner and a personal tax break for him to buy his third Lexus.
I believe that if you speak more than one language, you should be proud of this ability and should flaunt our nation’s diversity.
I believe that honesty is the best personal morality regardless of which God, if any, our nation happens to be under.
I believe that a village can raise a child best when that child is not the product of rape or incest. I believe that if drivers must show they are competent before being given a license, at least the same rules should apply to owning a gun.
I want to know who is paying Rush Limbaugh two hundred and fifty million dollars and which parts of his script they get to change for such an investment. And why is he so stuck on Clinton’s penis?
I believe if you were too drunk and drugged to turn up for your national guard service, it is called being AWOL. This even applies when you have been appointed President of the United States.
I think that education is the best investment for the future of this nation, the best way to reduce drug abuse and the teen pregnancy rate at the same time. Knowledge is freedom, so why are so-called conservatives trying to replace it with superstition?
I believe everyone has a right to privacy, so stay out of our bedrooms and our doctor’s offices. This also applies to our political meetings. I believe it's called the bill of rights for a reason.
Everyone is a minority, so we should all have exactly the same rights.
I don't use the excuse "it's the free market" as a shield for screwing the weak or disadvantaged.
I think the confederate flag has been hi-jacked as a symbol of prejudice and not of heritage.
My heroes are JFK, Monty Python, and whoever canceled Dr.Laura, fake medicine Woman.
I don't believe the rich need the government’s help to become obscenely wealthy. I don't believe a safety net for citizens who fall on hard times is the cause of our trillions of dollars in debt.I know Fox news is fake and I don't waste my time arguing about it.
I know global warming is real and our oil addiction is not going to be cured by destroying our national parks or selling more SUVs.
I believe everywhere in America is a “Free Speech Zone.”
I recognize that we all have some skin color and different shades should have no bearing on our access to the voting booth. No Christian is being persecuted in America today, except perhaps by other Christians, so shut up already.
I think cops should apply the law without being above the law. I also think they should stop drunk drivers and strip them of their license even if their father is the President.
I think if you are too stupid to vote on the issues instead of by who you would like to get inebriated with in a bar, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.
I think if you are selling energy, you should not be allowed to cause fake shortages of gas or electricity in order to line your own pockets with vast profits. I believe we should be able to breath the air without getting sick. Our drinking water should not be filled with Arsenic and mining waste. It should be the people who pollute these resources who pay to clean up the mess, not you and me.
I think private schools and golf club memberships are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are business costs that you should be allowed to deduct on your taxes.
I think refusing to investigate the circumstances leading up to the murder of 3,000 Americans should be considered treason.
I'm neither a communist nor an anarchist, no matter how desperately the corporate owned mainstream media would like my neighbors to believe otherwise.
If that makes me a GOOD American, then yes, I'm a GOOD American.
If you too are a GOOD American please forward this to everyone you know.
We need our country back.
Here I agree. We need to get ol' Bubba on the stand and explain why he refused to accept OBL from the Sudanese several times.
What - you don't know it?
That's the problem with Liberals. They don't know anything.
The RATS' stubborn ignorance is the greatest threat to America today...Lib'ralism has proven itself to be a failure every time it has been attempted, and the Left can't cognatively accept that FACT!!
Lib'ralism's DEAD...time to go out and collect what's left of the survivors!!

Do these idiots even know how Social Security works? There is no trust fund, all of it is paid out to people receiving SS and the gov't spends the remainder. And the gov't pays back its debt what the hell do you think T-Bills and bonds are for?
Our drinking water should not be filled with Arsenic and mining waste. It should be the people who pollute these resources who pay to clean up the mess, not you and me.
These morons STILL don't get the arsenic thing. A.) arsenic is naturally occurring, not pollution -- who do you make "pay"? B.) They seemed to have no problem with the old arsenic levels when X42 was in charge. C.) EPA *HAS* lowered the standard to 10 parts per billion after further review.
Crap like this is written by conformists who are not bright enough to do research or actually engage in critical thinking -- they just form their opinions out of the sound bites on tee-vee.
Except white men.
Ah, the typical liberal argument, don't even give legitimacy to other side's point of view. CNN with Larry King and Connie Chung (for now) really provide hard-hitting news commentary.
Or perhaps "I am a Useful Idiot".
"Here I agree. We need to get ol' Bubba on the stand and explain why he refused to accept OBL from the Sudanese several times."
Exactly where this investigation is headed, IMHO...we need Clinton in front of a House investigative panel and see how many times we can get him to invoke his 5th Amendment rights!!

Rrrright....
