Seems to me you kinda are just trying to rile up the democrats. Besides, I don't see in any way how it's funny. Not that I care about the politics of it, but it is WAY too subjective and opiniated to be seriosuly debated, and it's simply not funny.

Since you find no humor in it then tell me how it isn't true. Besides #16 as pointed out by RSX-S777 tell me how any of the listed points are false.

Maybe you are wound too tight not to find humor in politics. I find humor in most things the dems or republicans do. Does this offend you because it's true or because you find no humor in it?

If all of the points were true - then the joke wouldn't be funny. the humour here works off of the basis of incongruity, some of the points actually apply to some people realistically, but on the other hand, all of the points apply to basically no one - which is why it is funny. It's a non-sequitur of sorts (ie. just because one thing is true, it doesn't follow that all things are true).
Here's the list for republicans:

1) Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you are
millionaire conservative radio jock, which makes it an illness and
needs our prayers for your recovery.

2) You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success
all on their own.

3) You have to believe that the US should get out of the UN, and that our
highest national priority is enforcing UN resolutions against Iraq.

4) You have to believe that government should stay out of people's lives
but it needs to punish anyone caught having private sex with the wrong
gender.

5) You have to believe that pollution is ok, so long as it makes a profit.

6) You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to
Allah or Buddha.

7) "Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their
jobs to India.

8) You have to believe that a woman cannot be trusted with decisions about
her own body, but that large multi-national corporations can make decisions
affecting all mankind with no regulation whatsoever.

9) You have to believe that you love Jesus and Jesus loves you, and that
Jesus shares your hatred of AIDS victims, homosexuals, and Hillary Clinton.

10) You hate the ALCU for representing convicted felons, but they owed it
to the country to bail out Oliver North.

11) You have to believe that the best way to encourage military morale is
to praise the troops overseas while cutting their VA benefits.

12) You believe that group sex and drug use are degenerate sins that can
only be purged by running for governor of California as a Republican.

13) You have to believe it is wise to keep condoms out of schools, because
we all know if teenagers don't have condoms they won't have sex.

14) You have to believe that the best way to fight terrorism is to
alienate our allies and then demand their cooperation and money.

15) You have to believe that government medicine is wrong and that HMO's
and insurance companies only have your best interests at heart.

16) You have to believe that providing health care to all Iraqis is sound
government policy but providing health care to all Americans is socialism
personified.

17) You believe that tobacco's link to cancer and global warming are "junk
science", but Creationism should be taught in schools.

18) You have to believe that waging war with no exit strategy was wrong in
Vietnam but right in Iraq.

19) You have to believe that 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 was doing business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a
we-can't-find-Bin-Laden diversion.

20) You believe that government should restrict itself to just the powers
named in the Constitution, which includes banning gay marriages and
censoring the internet.

21) You have to believe that the public has a right to know about the
adulterous affairs of Democrats, while those of Republicans are a private
matter.

22) You have to believe that the public has a right to know about
Hillary's cattle trades but that Bush was right to censor those 28 pages
from the Congressional 9/11 report because you just can't handle the truth.

23) You support state rights, which means Ashcroft telling states what
locally passed voter initiatives he will allow them to have.

24) You have to believe that what Clinton did in the 1960's is of vital
national interest but what Bush did decades later is stale news and
irrelevant.

25) You have to believe that trade with Cuba is wrong because it is
communist, but trading with China and Vietnam is just dandy.

All the lists have a lot of (unfortunate) truths in them. Which goes to show you how fucked up BOTH sides are.



I hate it. My country going to hell in a handbasket for politics and power for a few privileged idiots.

Even "we the people" doesn't mean the same as it used to, considering our votes are being bought, manipulated, and/or reworked by machines.

I thought the title alone was funny. A good democrat












Just kidding

[RSX-S777]

^Ahem...FDR. Or are you Republicans going to bash him for being a worthless old cripple? Come now- he went to war, spied on his own people (in conjunction with the BSC), plotted against isolationists/pacifists/appeasers. He was everything a Republican could dream of! Remember? He was the guy who put the country back on track after a Republican let it slip into the toilet.

Weird how just about everyone who's ever joined AF doesn't have a problem with him, but he's not going anywhere so if you dont like it get the fuck out.

I think 2stroke's sig is funny considering we just found out after how many decades of use that we are addicted to oil
