Things the wacky right believes (feel free to add your own)

[IDemo]

3 - Corporations are people.

4 - Voter fraud is the biggest threat to fair elections.

5 - Wars anywhere and for any reasons all protect our freedom.

6 - Obama is a socialist, Marxist, fascist, Kenyan Muslim (all included for efficiency's sake).

7 - The unemployed are lazy, stupid, or otherwise at fault.

8 - Reagan was the greatest president ever.

9 - Clinton, formerly the worst president ever, has now been replaced by Obama as worst ever.

10 - The founding fathers were religiously insane misogynists, just like the Teabaggers.

Apparently then Gawd only protected the rights of white men before 1865.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

16. sorry, you seemed to be implying that the rights come from gov't

and that the GOP believes the rights come from God/natural law.

The poor will be motivated to earn more if you pay them less, but the wealthy won't be motivated to do anything at all unless you pay them more.

The Bible is infallible.

Health Care for all is a fringe, radical position that cannot and never will work in the USA.

Austerity for THEE, not for ME.

Our president was not born in Hawaii and nothing you put in front of me will convince me otherwise.

Minimum wage is too high. $2.00 an hour is plenty . . . anything beyond that is charity.

Government is full of libruls libruls tax-n-spendocrat commies.

That energy is OURS. End of sentence.

[turtlerescue1]

8. and

That all abortions should be performed in back alleys using clothes hangers only.

That unless you follow Ayn Randian beliefs you are nothing more than what she called "the human ballast".

[LeftofObama]

9. Every woman (or man for that matter) on welfare

drives a Cadillac.

Poor people are useless eaters.

Life is a precious gift until after you're born, then you're on your own.

Corporations have your best interests in mind.

Gays are ruining America and are condemned by Jeebus to burn in hell.

Democrats "hate" our troops.

There are no poor people in America, only lazy ones. (variation: Americans have NO business calling themselves poor ... AFRICA is poor.)

Homelessness is a choice.

Government is always incompetent ... the private sector is always sharp and effective.

[Snarkoleptic]

14. The tide comes in, the tide goes out. You can't explain that.

[longship]

15. Evolution is only a theory, a failed one.

The universe is less than 10,000 years old.

Dinosaurs lived contemporaneously with humans.

All life forms on Earth lived at the same time, even the fossilized ones.

The Grand Canyon was created in a single catastrophic global flood.

There really was only a single couple on earth once and their actual names were Adam and Eve.

If any of these things are shown to be wrong, it is Satan fooling you.
