You know you're a right winger when...


1. You still seem to think there's a link between Al Quaida and Iraq.


2. You're pro-life, except in the case of capital punishment of course.


3. You hate art, music, or anything "hippy" unless it can be bought and sold as a commodity.


4. You'd rather have your tax dollars go towards blowing people up, rather than helping the less fortunate in your own community. (Single moms can go to hell)


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


6. You think Ann Coulter is a somewhat conservative, gutsy lady and an intelligent individual.


7. You think gay people are evil. (possibly sent by the devil)


8. You're still not clear about what exactly was wrong with condemning people who can't afford healthcare.


9. Your parents paid for you to go to an expensive private college and five years later you're still an asshole.


10. You don't like the sight of two guys holding hands. That REALLY gets you going.

(I'm sorry I couldnt resist)
EDIT: Just so we're clear, these are not meant to be factual, this is simply a list of stupid generalizations mocking the thread "You know you're liberal if..."

Yep, haven't quite seen an argument that shows why these two are contradictory.

Gay rights parades showing bestiality is covered under free speech, yet the ten commandments in court or a manger scene in a church frontyard aren't accpetable.

Beastiality? Do people really fuck animals in the parades, I have never seen one, but I can hardly believe this.

Nativity scenes are perfectly acceptable on church property, putting the ten commandments in the courthouse is a violation of my religious rights.

Your childs' 4th grade teacher isn't qualified to teach reading, but is qualified to teach sex ed.

First off, why are they not qualified to teach reading, and what schools teach sex ed in 4th grade. If you want to talk about Junior High, I would say that the reading skills should already be there and sex is very new to the kids, so I would say that Sex Ed. would be more important.

You know your a Democrat when you no longer have a sense of humor.

I have a pretty decent sense of humor, this just isn't funny.

You know your a democrat when your on the side of the criminal and not the victim.

Now you are just using empty rhetoric.

you know your a democrat when you are more than willing to take a mans hard earned money and give to people who don't want to work.

The people who actually do work hard for their money are the people who I want to help. The people who you want to help are those who no longer have to work hard. If the CEO has to lose 5% of his salary so that the factory workers make 15% more, I say so be it.

Meh. I'm bored.

1. Yes, I think that there is a link between Iraq and "Al Quaida". Present tense. Not past tense.

2. I am pro-life. I am anti-abortion, anti-euthenasia and anti-capital punishment.

3. I happen to like art and music, and I deny that it has to be "hippy" to qualify. I also fail to see why art loses its artsiness if it is bought and sold.

4. I prefer the cause of improving the lives of the poor and neglected to the cause of war. However, it's been my experience that private organizations do a better job in helping people than the government.

5. I generally try to avoid talking about the current American administration IRL. Too many people get red faced.

6. I think Ann Coulter is a gutsy and intelligent woman. I don't, however, believe she is a nice lady.

7. I think that all people are evil, regardless of sexual orientation.

8. I don't like the current state of health care in the United States. However, I don't think that yet another large government program will magically solve the problem. I do think we need some European-style tort law before we can try European-style health insurance.

9. My parents, the federal government, a few private organizations and I paid for six years of private college. And I grew into a very wonderful person, thank you.

10. I like the sight of two men holding hands. Or two women. Or a man and a woman. Or a bunch of them in a circle. Heads bowed. Eyes closed. Any time two or three are gathered in his name.

Meh. I'm still bored.

--I'm against capital punishment and abortion on demand.

--While I'm generally for free speech, the public display of acts of beastiality should run afoul of decency laws. Please note that I said public, i.e. for all to see, hard to avoid. The Ten Commandments in a government courtroom sends a bad message, and it's a not a good battle for Christians to get into. Nativity scenes on church property, or any private property, should be Constitutionally protected.

--If your child's teacher is more qualified for, or cares more about, teaching sex ed than teaching reading, then that is a problem no matter what politics you are.

--So two guys walk into a bar. The next guy ducked. ;)

--I am on the side of justice. Crimes should be punished because we need to promote a civil and just society, not so a victim can extract a pound of flesh.

--I am always most in favor of teaching people to work and to give them the skills to find work on their own. The ultimate goal of any effort to help the poor should be to help them become not poor. Punishing them for being poor, in my experience, is counter-productive.

You know you're a conservative when you can believe that the nation should be ruled according to the Bible but conveniently forget the part about wealth being the most certain path AWAY from any Christian ideal of heaven.

You know you're a conservative when you demand that a collection of cells in a woman's womb constitutes life and then, eighteen or nineteen years later, you send that same collection of cells off to kill and die for puerile and insane political or economic reasons.

You know you're a conservative when you want to ban any form of sex education in schools but then refuse to offer care, through welfare or food stamps, for the children conceived by uneducated kids .

You know you're a conservative when you see no irony in demanding that other nations rise to an arbitrary level of human rights while America has the highest per capita prison population on Earth, more than Iran or Russia or China or any other country we are so quick to criticize.

you can laugh at the hacks that post "you know you're..." stuff because you _know_ you're right.

you can remember why the _Federalist Papers_ are important.

you celebrate the last payment on the NRA Easy-Pay life membership.

you realize the cost of college has nothing to do with how big an asshole you are.

you hate the idea that you are forced to pay for art, music, and anything _hippy_ just because some left-wing boob in the city council thinks the town square needs a statute.

you realize that the easiest way to point out a government building when giving directions is to refer to that _hideous statue_ out in front.

you realize that people should be responsible for themselves and that keeping them happy, healthy, and employed is not a government job.

you don't mind being called conservative, right-wing, or neo-con because names don't hurt.

If you truly believe that Fox News is "Fair and Balanced"....

...You might be a Right-Winger.

With all of the griping about Fox, it's easy to just ingore the problems with CNN-but it's worth noting that unlike Fox, CNN, the network Turner founded, has a record of collaboration with genocidal dictatorship. In April 2003, just after the liberation of Baghdad, CNN's Eason Jordan described the network's relationship with Saddam Hussein's regime:



I knew that CNN could not report that Saddam Hussein's eldest son, Uday, told me in 1995 that he intended to assassinate two of his brothers-in-law who had defected and also the man giving them asylum, King Hussein of Jordan. If we had gone with the story, I was sure he would have responded by killing the Iraqi translator who was the only other participant in the meeting. After all, secret police thugs brutalized even senior officials of the Information Ministry, just to keep them in line (one such official has long been missing all his fingernails).*.*.*.


I came to know several Iraqi officials well enough that they confided in me that Saddam Hussein was a maniac who had to be removed. One Foreign Ministry officer told me of a colleague who, finding out his brother had been executed by the regime, was forced, as a test of loyalty, to write a letter of congratulations on the act to Saddam Hussein. An aide to Uday once told me why he had no front teeth: henchmen had ripped them out with pliers and told him never to wear dentures, so he would always remember the price to be paid for upsetting his boss. Again, we could not broadcast anything these men said to us.



This really looks like bias in CNN by not reporting on substantial problems that they knew to exist in Iraq.
