For a Balanced View From The Other Side

To balance "21 Ways to be a Good Democrat":

Things you have to believe to be a Republican today:

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

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

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.

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

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

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 support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

Feel free to pass this on.

Friends don't let friends vote Republican.

And here is a rebutal:


Things you have to believe to be a Republican today:
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. Saddam was never a good guy. I guess that FDR thought Stalin was a good guy as well.

Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony. Did you ever hear of the Monroe doctrine? "President Monroe's seventh annual message to Congress put "European Powers" on notice that American continents were off limits to European colonization, and that any attempts to intefere with American lands would be considered the "manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States"

The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing UN resolutions against Iraq. The UN is the invention of the United States as a way to make sure we stayed involved in international politics. If you will not enforce 16 UN resolutions, threatning Iraq if they do not follow them, then why make the threats? If you do not enforce the resolutions how do you expect any country too in the future.

A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation. We do not allow corporations to murder children either.

Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
This is from the Pope. I guess he is a hater too.

"The institution of marriage necessarily entails the complementarity of husbands and wives who participate in God's creative activity through the raising of children," "Spouses thereby ensure the survival of society and culture, and rightly deserve specific and categorical legal recognition by the State. "Any attempts to change the meaning of the word 'spouse' contradict right reason: legal guarantees, analogous to those granted to marriage, cannot be applied to unions between persons of the same sex without creating a false understanding of the nature of marriage."

The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay. Have you seen the budget deficit? Nothing has been cut, this is a lie.

If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex. Hey kids are going to do drugs as well lets hand out pot and a bong.

A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies, then demand their cooperation and money. A good way to stop being our longtime ally is to import illegal arms to our enemies and break the UN embargo’s that they voted for.

Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism. You mean Health Insurance. All Americans have health care. It is illeagle for a hospital or Doctor to turn anyone away and not treat them.

HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart. They have the best interest of their shareholders at heart. 70% of Americans own stock

Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools. Global warming and tobacco’s link to cancer is taught in schools, creationism is not. Did you ever hear of the missing link? It is still missing.

A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. You Democrats never learn, it was not about the sex!!!!!!!! He lied to a grand jury thats a felony.

A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy. The president went to congress (like the constitution says) and recieved permission to wage a war on terror the way he thinks will win.

Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet. The reason the GOP is pushing a constitutional ammendment is because thats the way the constitution says it should be done to fix the problem of runaway courts.

The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business. We already know about the President’s DUI; now how about Hillary’s turing $10,000 into $100,000 and how she did it, we still don’t know.

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. Unless you sell drugs to the conservative radio host, then you get immunity. The DA can go and get your medical info and print it in the papers. Or they can tell the papers you are going to be arrested for running a drug ring.

You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt. At least he does not surrond your house with 80 people and 26 children in it and start it on fire killing everyone in the house to save the children.

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant. Again we still don’t know what Clinton did in the 60’s except that he lied to get out of the draft and never finished school.
