To be a Republican you need to believe that:
1. Jesus loves you, but shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

2. 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.

3. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

4. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

5. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational drug corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veteran's benefits and combat pay.

7. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

8. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism. HMO's and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

10. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

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

12. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.

13. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

14. 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.

15. 'Executive Privilege' ought to be extended to every Republican ever born, who will be born, or who might be born (in perpetuity.)

16. What Bill Clinton did in the 60's is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80's is irrelevant.

13. I am soooooo tempted to email that
to some coworkers. Of course, they can send me racist bullshit all day in my company email, but I would probably be fired for sending that.

12. I wouls also add:
"That giving billions in tax breaks to multinationals so they can easier fund the outsourcing of jobs to China and India, will benefit all middle class Americans."

17. To sum it up: you need to be insane.
BTW, I welcome all sane Republicans and invite them to vote Democratic in November.

21. So you implicitly credit yourself?
All up-thread people are complimenting the post. And you say nothing.

23. Maybe the guy who actually wrote it.
Plagiarism (pley-juh-riz-uhm) - the practice of claiming or implying original authorship of (or incorporating material from) someone else's written or creative work, in whole or in part, into one's own without adequate acknowledgement.

24. As per the Op Ed
It sounds like he wanted this sent out to as many people as possible, and it doesn't say anything about giving him credit. Not that that means he wouldn't like some credit, of course.

25. My issue is more about the OP allowing
people to give him credit and not correcting them.

But I'll let it go. No one else seems to care.
