Twenty more signs that you might be a Bush Supporter

[Ian_rd]

We here at the Bush Support Rehabilitation Clinic recently generated a list of twenty indicators of Bush Support, a degenerative mental illness afflicting millions of people in the United States. This list helped thousands in realizing their condition.

In an effort to provide greater assistance to the public health, the following are twenty additional indicators of this illness. As before, if you find yourself agreeing with a majority of these indicators, please seek help as soon as possible. And remember, if you don't get help with us, please, get help somewhere.

1. You think that liberals are to blame for the deaths of U.S. soldiers, and not the people actually killing them or sending them to be killed.

2. You find the death of unborn children abhorrent only when it is the result of a woman's choice and not when it is the result of environmental contamination, malnutrition, lack of prenatal healthcare, or the bombing of civilians.

3. You draw no conclusion whatsoever from the fact that prescription drug prices have risen for senior citizens since President Bush enacted the Medicare prescription drug plan.

4. You think liberals hate U.S. soldiers and want them to die.

5. You support the philosophy of checks and balances in government, but cannot think of any instance in which the Bush administration should be subject to checks or balances in this "time of war."

6. You think President Bush is fighting to protect your freedoms from terrorists, but are willing to give up your freedoms in order to fight terrorists.

7. You think that knowledge of Valerie Plame's status as Joseph Wilson's wife is the same as knowledge of her status as a CIA agent.

8. You believe that as a Christian in the United States, you are a persecuted minority.

9. The death of Israeli civilians at the hands of Palestinian militants or terrorists causes you to rage against the attackers, while the death of Palestinian civilians at the hands of the Israeli military causes you to rage against the liberal media for its anti-Semitic news coverage.

10. You believe that corporate executives care more about the condition of the working class than labor unions.

11. You don't understand the difference between being accused of terrorism and being guilty of terrorism, and therefore do not understand the need for due process in terrorism cases or the outcry against the torture of people who have never been convicted or charged of a crime.

12. You don't think the subjects discussed and the conclusions drawn at Dick Cheney's secret meetings with Enron and other energy industry representatives to form our nation's energy policy are any of your business.

13. You've never heard of the Office of Special Plans or the Project for the New American Century.

14. The name "Hillary Clinton" sends you into a vitriolic diatribe against the senator, yet you cannot identify any of her policy positions.

15. You despise Bill Clinton for not catching or killing Osama Bin Laden prior to the attacks of 9/11, but excuse George W. Bush for not catching or killing Osama Bin Laden prior to or after the attacks of 9/11.

16. In the Bible, you find no exception to the proclamation in the Book of Leviticus that it is an abomination for a man to lie with a man, but find a vast number of exceptions to the commandment "Thou shalt not kill."

17. You find yourself willing to devote yourself to protecting the well-being of unborn children, but uninterested in the well-being of children after they're born or their mothers at any stage.

18. You do not believe that falling middle class income and rising corporate executive compensation is class warfare against the working class, but do believe that mentioning this fact is class warfare against the rich.

19. You despise the liberal media for its constant lies and distortions, but believe any and all reports from the media that sets President Bush in a positive light.

20. You proudly display a bumper sticker to "support the troops," but consider discussions of inadequate body armor, strategy, veteran's benefits, and soldier pay to be nothing more than liberal whining.

1. LOL!

Oh my goodness, you hit the nail on the head with those! Soooo true!!!

[Minnesota Libra]

2. I love this, I'm going to pass this around to some liberals as well......

.....as suspected Bush supporters. Thanks for sharing this.:applause:

[Cerridwen]

3. Bravo! Well said!

If I may add one...You love AMERICA, but hate Americans.

Yep, I watched The American President (again) last night.

:yourock:

4. Sadly they are all true because

to be a bush supporter you have to be extremely gullible(ignorant) and easily manipulated to believe something or misunderstand something else. They make rove's job extremely easy. They are not patriots; they are enemies of the constitution. I look forward to the next civil.

5. K&R

Nicely compiled list. Glaringly absurd, when you put them all together like that!

[Ian_rd]

7. Sadly - it would probably not be too hard to come up with twenty more

for a total of 60.

:shrug:

6. Sent them to my Repuke friends...........

:hi:

8. You could add to #16 as well

Great job, by the way.

But, you can also mention the thousands of times the Bible says that we should help the poor, the sick, the helpless, etc.

With your permission, I will be posting printouts of this edited as the 40 reasons.


And yes I almost qualify on fourteen. I agree with Hillary that it takes a village but I think she is a total fool to think that the police action ran and looted by the neocon junta can possibly have any positive results. To support this is historically ignorant, fiscally irresponsible, ethically challenged and politically expedient. With that in mind, she should know better. If I sound angry, it is the anger of one who has seen the clay heels of a hero once held dear and defended. Here is how I feel about Hillary:

ICHABOD (gender altered from original)

by: John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)

So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn
Which once she wore!
The glory from her gray hairs gone
Forevermore!

Revile her not, the Tempter hath
A snare for all;
And pitying tears, not scorn and wrath,
Befit her fall!

Oh, dumb be passion's stormy rage,
When she who might
Have lighted up and led her age,
Falls back in night.

Scorn! would the angels laugh, to mark
A bright soul driven,
Fiend-goaded, down the endless dark,
From hope and heaven!

Let not the land once proud of her
Insult her now,
Nor brand with deeper shame her dim,
Dishonored brow.

But let its humbled sons, instead,
From sea to lake,
A long lament, as for the dead,
In sadness make.

Of all we loved and honored, naught
Save power remains;
A fallen angel's pride of thought,
Still strong in chains.

All else is gone; from those great eyes
The soul has fled:
When faith is lost, when honor dies,
The girl is dead!

Then, pay the reverence of old days
To her dead fame;
Walk backward, with averted gaze,
And hide the shame!

[Ian_rd]

10. Use them as you like, Purged. Truth be told, I can't stand Hillary either.

But the difference is that you and I know her politics. The bed-wetters simply hate her because they've been instructed since 1992 to think she is the Anti-Christ.

But I find her to be an ever-calculating politician ready to sacrifice any liberal or progressive beliefs for political powerplays (often boneheaded ones at that), and who considers the Republican Moron base more important than her own. If she somehow becomes the Democratic candidate for president, it will secure a Republican victory faster than a Dem nomination of Che Guevara's corpse.

11. In the August 2006 Esquire Magazine

cover story, John McCain believes that Hillary will be his democratic oposition in the 2008 presidential race. Read it here:

"I think the biggest mistake we could make is to underestimate Hillary Clinton. She's smart and she's tough. She's very disciplined in all ways—unlike her husband—and I think she's formidable. Plus, she already has $20 million in the bank. If we don't get our act together..."

There it is. McCain has finally laid it out, the choice this country, in all likelihood, will soon have to make. For all his stubborn coyness about his presidential aspirations—"I'm going to wait until next year to decide"—McCain knows that he will be taking a second run at the White House, and he will probably be tak¬ing it against Mrs. Clinton.

12. these are excellent.

:D

[megatherium]

13. Spot on!! Only one teensy improvement to suggest on #16:

In #16, you might say something like: "You believe it's important to be anti-gay, based on 6 verses in the Bible, but ignore the 100+ verses that prohibit the lending of money at interest."

Or, "You support remarriage after divorce, even though Jesus specifically prohibits this, but oppose equality for gay people, even though Jesus says not one word about this in the Bible."

[Ian_rd]

15. Haha - nice.

[warrens]

14. Your shoelaces are always untied because you can't remember...

How the darn things work.

[fordnut]

16. I guess I`m not a Bush supporter

I wish there was alist to see if your a Bush hater of which I am.

[City Lights]
