VIII Thou shalt bear false witness against your opponents and liberals, and demonize them

1. XI

Thou shalt not recognize nor acknowledge the truths of the first X.

2. #9 should have a picture of Scott Walker next to it.

I fear more every day the right is going to use the same tactics they used to get him elected in wisconsin to get him elected president, and then he's going to enact the same policies on a nationwide scale.

3. XII

Thou shall love thy Conservative Neighbor and hate the Liberal one.

is the one that helps you, and the conservative is the one that walks right past you.

6. The 11th commandment....

“Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican.” “Henceforth, if any Republican has a grievance against another, that grievance is not to be bared publicly.”

While attributed to Ronald Reagan its was his State GOP Chairman Gaylord B. Parkinson when he ran for Governor. Reagan espoused the commandment and we seee just how the Republican Party evolved to allow its ranks to be peppered with lunatics
