Came across this on a blog on freerepublic.com:
With Sincere Apologies to Jeff Foxworthy: You Might be a Liberal If . . .
By: Dr. Michael Bauman
Even though some liberal politicians don’t like using the "L" word, it’s still possible to know who’s a liberal and who is not.
You might be a liberal if . . .
You think that consenting adults can engage freely in every activity except capitalism.
You think the really alarming violence takes place outside the abortion clinic.
You’ve ever referred to the “root cause” of something.
You pray to “The Woman Upstairs.”
You think we never gave peace a chance.
You had to be told that “Manhattan,” “menopause” and “boycott” were not sexist words
You begin sentences with the words “I feel.”
Your driver’s license has a hyphen because, for you, one last name just isn’t enough.
You think OJ is out looking for the real killers.
You don’t know that you see B.S. when you watch CBS.
You think Fox News is faux news.
You get your economic theory from John Mellencamp and your foreign policy from Sean Penn.
You think it takes a village.
You think higher education is about diversity, not excellence.
You think that the words “to promote the general welfare” in the Constitution mean to promote welfare generally.
You think that conservatives, like preservatives, ought to be federally regulated.
You ever wore earth shoes.
You have ever wondered out loud, “Why can’t we all just get along?”
You think the New York Times prints all the news that’s fit.
You think that Bill O'Reilly is just an entertainer.
You spent Columbus Day reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
You reach the limits of your talent and then complain that you ran into a glass ceiling.
You wear more ribbons on your lapel than in your hair.
You think that the really dangerous McCarthy was Joe, not Eugene.
You blame the Unabomber’s parents.
You fail to see the connection between Lenin and Lennon.
You have ever agreed with Alec Baldwin. |

Could add: 1) If you believe the UN has all the answersand Koffi Annan is a great leader
2) If you found that reading the UN charter was the most inspiring thing you have ever done (Clinton) and
3) you are sexually frustrated. Sexually happy people don't harbor that much hate! _________________ Never Ever Give Up

You don't believe in good or evil but just a variety of choices or approaches to a situation.
When something "unfortunate" happens in the world your first thought is to wonder what the United States did wrong.
Your response to every problem is that the government should do something.
You think other people do not pay enough taxes.
You believe that the government, not business, creates jobs. |

You believe Viet Nam was waste of time.
You believe all 527's are okay except if they are the SwiftVets.
You believe its wrong for Bush to use 9/11 in any ads, but Kerry can exploit the two beadings in his.
You think the killing of a pregnant woman is double homicide but you support abortion.
You say in God we trust but want all referencs of God removed from public view.
You think that the world is a better place without Saddam Hussien but you do not support the war in Iraq.

Poverty is caused a lack of funding
Low SATs are caused by a lack of funding.
Crime is caused by a lack of funding

Sanctions, resolutions,and negoiating really do work.
War for any purpose other than theirs is always wrong
You maintain the unending belief that you can negoiate any enemy into a defeat other than your own
History is full of examples of succesful liberal endeavors, well.............we need to work harder. _________________ What about John Kerry's four months in Vietnam qualify him to be president?

You go to church every Sunday, but you defend abortion.
You foam at the mouth because the President believes in God.
You think owning a gun makes your home 57% more unsafe.
You think Communism was just another political way of doing things.
You don't make your child sit down and eat a regular meal because it's too restrictive.
You think taxes are too low.
You think the Democratic party is the party of family values.
You think the Republican party is racist.
You think all Republicans are racist and White.

You think armed forces engaging in combat is immoral, but government using force against unarmed citizens for the purpose of redistributing their wealth is moral.
You are against slavery, unless it involves forcing a productive citizen to provide for a nonproductive citizen through the welfare system.
You think the Mother Theresa's of the world who hold the hands of the dying lepers are saints, but the researchers who cure the damn disease are evil.
You think "love" and "compassion" involve practicing charity with someone else's money, but not your own.
You want to prohibit the ownership of guns by private citizens, but ignore the fact that armed tyrannical governments have caused more death than any private citizen ever could. _________________ "[John Galt] raised his hand and over the desolate earth he traced in space the sign of the dollar." - Atlas Shrugged |
