Want to be a Republican?

Here's what you need to know...

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

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.

Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions.

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

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.

Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's military record is none of our business.

Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host.Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

You support states' rights, but the Attorney General can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

Jesus loves you, and shares

I think you have it wrong Redog. Isn't Jesus supposed to love all of us, he just doesn't love what we do? Don't we all fit into that category. I would even say he loves you too, but maybe not your judgmental attitude, and I know, that's something I'm also guilty of sometimes. You might need to re-align yourself with the teachings of the New Testament If you want to speak for Christ, and be careful as to not let the neo-rightwing spinsters manipulate your thinking.

I like "Four things you need to know to be a plumber" better

1. Hot's on the left.
2. Cold's on the right.
3. Shit runs downhill.
4. Payday's on Friday.


Hey, Les, why don't we just call each other assholes and get it over with. - Somebody on the old Southknoxbubba.net (if that was you, claim your quote and win net.fame!)

The downhill part confuses me sometimes, but I can pass the crack test, ...so do I qualify as a plumber?

There is also a difference

There is also a difference between a plumber and a pipefitter; a plumber will not bite his nails.
