There were minor reactions to it there. As a Republican I find such sarcastic attacks as petty and pointless... They continued to call the democrats ignorant, which I also thought repulsive. I find it odd that I would find such flaming as juvinile, but I am finding more and more that all politicians are professional flamers, and thats it... If that is the case Sava should run for office. Still, most of these points are reasons why I am not a dem, even though it is a gross generalization...

Even though I'm a Republican.
IT's only fair.

I really fail to see what's wrong with most of these.
quote:
1. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding. |
Or that federal funding could reduce the spread (implying that the lack of federal funding is responsible to a higher level of AIDS spreading).
quote:
2. 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. |
 You don't have to be able to read to know about sex.
quote:
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 Communists. |
Living in the South, I'm a billion times more likely to be killed by an American with a gun than by a Chinese commie nuke.
quote:
5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by liberal yuppies driving SUV's. |
But I saw studies showed that global temperatures should be in decline right now. (implying that human impact was overpowering these global temperature trends)
quote:
7. You have to be against capital punishment, but in favor of abortion-on-demand. |
Damn straight.
quote:
8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity. |
Nah, just the first bit is enough. Though prosperity can result from keeping some businesses in line.
quote:
9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who've never been outside of Seattle do. |
Yeah, they care so much they don't go out and spoil it
quote:
10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important that actually doing something to earn it. |
Without motivation, doing something is hard.
quote:
11. You have to believe that the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars. |
Are you implying that Bush is corrupt? (Not to meaning to imply that he isn't, but...)
quote:
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. |
Yep, the NRA supports the bad parts of the Constitution.
quote:
13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high. |
ATM fees go to businesses, taxes don't.
quote:
16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is really a lady. |
Nah, you just have to pretend you believe that.
quote:
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. |
Or because of meddlesome right wingers always trying to topple those communist regimes.
quote:
18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex-offender belong in the White House. |
What is this "truth" you claim conservatives speak of?
quote:
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. |
If you're going to use federal funding to support your Christian ideology, of course I'm going to oppose that.
quote:
20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic funding by the Chinese Communists is somehow in the best interest of the United States. |
Any democratic funding is a good thing.
