And the latest manufactured outrage against Tammy Duckworth reminds us:
* Criticism of a war veteran is disgusting and offensive. Exceptions: Max Cleland, Tammy Duckworth, John Kerry, John McCain, Alexander Vindman,Pete Buttigieg, Conor Lamb, Mark Milley, and Colin Powell. (#20, Oct. 2015)
Which also reminds us...
* Bill Clinton was a draft dodger for not serving in Vietnam. But it was okay for John Bolton, Pat Buchanan, George W. and Jeb Bush, Dick Cheney, Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Dan Quayle, Willard Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, Clarence Thomas, andDonald Trump to not go. (#1, November 2010)
* You scream for federal disaster aid when your state catches fire, drowns in a hurricane, deep freezes, or gets slammed by an oil spill, but when it happens somewhere else in the country you vote against federal disaster aid. (#19)
All-New More Things You Have To Believe To Be A Republican Today:
* The best way to be a Patriotic American is to root against American Olympic teams.
* Fires are scared of guns.

* It's just and proper to ask President Biden about sexual abuse allegations against someone else in his party. It's improper and rude to ask Donald Trump about sexual abuse allegations against Donald Trump himself.
* Germ theory is a liberal hoax.
* You mistrust the Coronavirus vaccine (developed during the Trump Administration!) endorsed by the entire medical establishment, and instead trust horse dewormer endorsed by Fox News and a few cranks with Youtube channels.
* Keeping Americans healthy and alive during a pandemic is less important than making a Democratic President look bad.
* It's Joe Biden's fault that Donald Trump made a peace deal with the Taliban and signed a treaty committing the United States from leaving Afghanistan, so clearly all the violence after the US withdrawal is Biden's fault.
* Nothing that happened before January 20, 2021 is of any relevance to what's happening in Afghanistan.
* The children of poor people don't deserve to eat.
* You oppose reparations for the descendants of slaves, but support reparations for the descendants of slave owners due to their lost "legal property".
* January 2021 through September 2021 is eighteen months.
* Just because you support banning Muslims, think African countries are shitholes, think Jews are trying to replace you with brown people, and think the Chinese created Covid-19 on purpose doesn't mean you're a bigot.
