You know you're a Republican when...

...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.

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

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

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

...providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

...global warming is junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

...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 know you're a Democrat when:



You think trees have feelings, animals can conceptualize and the fetus is a blob of protoplasm.

You are convinced that Frank Capra films and Norman Rockwell paintings are lies and distortions but "Platoon," "Dances with Wolves" and "The Day After Tomorrow" are realistic

You think a moment of silent prayer at the beginning of the school day constitutes government indoctrination and an intrusion on parental authority, while sex education, condom distribution and multiculturalism are values-neutral.

You think marriage is obsolete - except for homosexuals.

You believe homosexuality is genetically determined, but fascism and spouse abuse aren't.

You think AIDS is spread by insufficient funding.

You consider the Catholic bishops noble and idealistic when they oppose capital punishment and welfare cuts but dangerous fanatics trying to legislate their theology when they defend the right to life.

You are convinced that proponents of welfare reform hate the poor and opponents of affirmative action hate minorities, but AIDS activists who bash the Pope and People for the American Way types who go psycho over Protestant "fundamentalists" are guardians of democracy.

You attribute every minority problem to entrenched, institutional racism and the legacies of slavery and segregation.

You think the black middle class is a myth created by Republicans.

You don't understand all of the whining about affirmative action and are more than willing to sacrifice someone else's employment or education opportunity to assuage your guilt.

You see no correlation between welfare and the rise of illegitimacy, judicial leniency and surging crime rates, or addiction and an entertainment industry that glorifies drug abuse. But you believe a Bush President is responsible for everything horrible that's happened in the past quarter-century.

You own something that says, "Dukakis for President, " and still display it.

You've tried to argue in favor of anything based on, "Well, they're gonna do it anyway so..."

You've ever said, "We really should call the ACLU about this."

You believe that a few hundred loggers can find another career, but the defenseless spotted owl must live in its preferred tree.

You ever based an argument on the phrase, "But they can afford a tax hike because..."

You've ever argued that with just one more year of welfare that person will turn it around and get off drugs.

You keep count of how many people you know in each racial or ethnic category.

You believe our government must do it because everyone in Europe does.

After looking at your pay stub you can still say, "America is undertaxed."
 
Well, being a liberal myself, I found the first list to be funny and the second somewhat insulting.
However, probably both ended up being offensive to almost everyone...
 
More Republican tests:

You know you are a Republican When:

You believe in smaller government, but support that largest government expansion in 30 years.

You believe in fiscal responsibility, but support the largest budget deficit in history.

You believe in personal responsibility, except when you become the President or a cabinet level appointee.

You believe in the rights of the individual, expect when they want an abortion.

You believe in states rights, except when a state wants to allow gay marriage.

You believe in basic freedoms and civil liberties, but those bastards at the ACLU have gone too far.

You believe that the sun shined out of Ronald Regan's ass, even when he was selling arms to Arab terrorists to fight an illegal war in South America.

You believe that what is good for big business is good for America even when big business sends your job to China.

You believe in protecting the environment except when it means actually doing some thing about it.

You believe in the fighting men and women of the US Military, as long you aren't one of them.

You believe in avenging the deaths of innocent Americans killed on 9-11, even if you have to invade a county that wasn't behind the 9-11 attack to do it.

You believe that America is a safer place, even though most Arab countries now hate us and our allies hate us too.
 
You know you are a Republican when:

Everyone else is doing better in school than you are and your mommy blames it on the communist bias of the teachers.

You and your parents are all in the same English class.

You profess to be a patriot who supports the troops but then express a strong hatred for the workers who made your country great, refuse to care if the troops drop dead because of a lack of body armor in hot spot situaitons, and you tell wounded vets who return to America that they can go cry to charity if they want benefits.
 
OOohh...the battle of the ass AV's.... ;)

Ok, my turn!

-You believe that even though the top 20 percent of taxpayers pay 80 percent of income taxes, that the rich are not paying their “fair share.”

-You feel a deep sense of common cause with oppressed groups, such as Hispanic immigrants (except for Cuban Americans fleeing Castro).

-You think people in south Florida, who can’t figure out how to work a butterfly ballot, ought to have the final say in choosing the president of the United States.

-You have no problem with Hollywood movie starts flying around in private jets to give speeches on the evils of SUVs.

-You are worried about how the French view Americans.

-You believe that nativity scenes should be banned from public view, but that anyone objecting to pornography “only has to look the other way.”

I believe that you are also a Republican if you think this posting on Lit GB is ironic, not hypocritical.

Oh.....I forgot....Republicans aren't supposed to like sex.

Guess I'd better turn in my membership card then.

Do you ALWAYS agree with every platform of your chosen political party?
 
Canadians will find this thread really funny.
...no, wait...sad.

Well, kind of funny and sad, "like when a clown dies".
 
Are overthebow and FinePhilly twins?

Yeah you voted for Bush too. Now you're talking shit about yourself? What an idiot.

Your mother and I have 1 thing in common: we both admit we made a mistake once. I, on the other hand, did not make it twice.

Ok, I'm busted. I owe your mother tens of thousands of dollars in back support. Time to change my name again.

Don't worry I'll tell my step brother you still care about him. Trash talking my mom isn't going to do you any good. I hate her myself dufus.

Awwwwww, poor baby, even your own mother didn't love you. I knew I shouldn't have said anything when I mistook your face for an orangutan's ass at birth. She's been abusing you ever since, the little hussy.

No the whore stoppped the abuse when I was 12. Too bad she didn't stop smacking you around yet though.

Oh and mom would never sleep with a black guy, she's prejudiced that way, so you're out of luck there boy.

Ah yes, that was when she started earning enough to pay income tax again. It's still amazing to me what happened to your mother's attitude toward you when you suddenly transformed from a community eyesore to a dependent/tax write off.

Too bad she didn't stop smacking you around yet though.
Well I did owe her 12 years of child support by then so she had a reason to smack me around. :eek:

Oh and mom would never sleep with a black guy, she's prejudiced that way, so you're out of luck there boy.
That's what she kept telling you, LOL!!!
