Just Another Political Post.

[Chaerophon]

You know what I find most irritating about pundits from 'the left'? The notion that one must believe in the moral acceptability of abortion if one is to be logically consistent. I am anti-abortion, I think that it is morally wrong. I'm not 100% sold on the idea that the government should be legislating it either, so I guess I'm a bit of a fence-sitter. I'm not going to get into why, that's not the point, and I don't want to start the mother of all troll threads.

All that I WILL say is that I believe that those of a more liberal bent can believe in that abortion is morally wrong and remain logically consistent in their beliefs. To state the obvious, the dogmatic reductionism of the Ann Coulter's (or the Al Franken's) of the world does no service to real political discourse.

Remember when I made that joke about Republicans? And everybody flamed me and started second guessing my political stance, and a bunch of people made themselves look like Jackasses?

Well, now, it's time for me to thumb my nose at Democrats. I told you I was fair and balanced.

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but urban activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

10. You have to believe that having self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion Of The Christ for financial gain only.

12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.

17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House.

19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese government is somehow in the best interest to the United States.

21. You have to believe that John Kerry’s Purple Hearts are legitimate, and that a Massachusetts Senator more liberal than Teddy Kennedy can be elected President of the United States.

22. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.

And to all those people that accused me of being a Democrat during my last political joke post, you can get bent.

Flame on!
