Why "family values" conservatives are dumbasses.
Edited on Thu Feb-14-08 06:19 AM by Smith_3
1. They think that by NOT educating their children about birth control, there will be less abortions.

2. They think when abortions are illegal, they will happen less.

3. They think that not believing in evolution is a family value.

4. They think that disinheriting their homosexual child, is a family value.

5. They think that sending children off to war is a family value.

6. They think that bombing other countries children is a family value.

7. They think that people in rural southern areas have stronger family values.

8. They believe that to marry and then to divorce is better than to live together unmarried.

9. They think that Jesus Christ didn't have sex.

10. They think its better to claim to have family values and not have them, then to not claim to have them and to have them.

Feel free to add :)

2. Here's a couple biggies:
11. They think that their God judges them by how much wealth they accumulate and how much they consume. If they aren't living high on the hog, they're being punished somehow.

And its corollary,

12. It is their mission to help rape and pillage the planet, to help bring about the "end of days". They must do everything in their power to help ensure the Rapture.

3. They're dumbasses because they actually believe that the GOP politicians who spout "values" rhetoric
...are for real.

99% of GOP politicians who rail against abortion, gays, whatever - couldn't care less about any of it.

It's a political tool to get the rubes to vote against their own economic interests.

If they wanted to pass an amendment to ban abortion, they could have when they held both houses, but they did NOTHING.

They try to pass amendments banning gay marriage, etc. knowing that it won't pass constitutional muster.



Bible thumpers who vote for repugs because they think they're Christians are even bigger suckers than the little old ladies who send in their life savings to Jimmy Swaggart and Pat Robertson.

5. Why prejudiced elitist "liberals" are dumbasses

They think that people in rural southern areas are somehow less human than other humans.

I totally agree with the rest of your list, but hatred for someone based on where they were born or where they live now is just freaking stupid - just as stupid and wrong and morally bad as any authoritarian belief.
