* You believe that a few hundred loggers can find another career, but the defenseless spotted owl must live in its preferred tree.

Somewhat funny and I can see why there isn't a republican one. It would make me cry out of sheer horror of what they actually believe and do nowadays.

95% of that post I did not understand due to not having local knowledge...

[zipperdude]

I foudn it amusing due to the fact on how true most of those are.

[Soviet]

After reading through this further (I just glanced over it before) I'll give a more accurate portrayal of my feelings towards this. This piece of shit was written by a bunch of low level assholes with absolutely no understanding of logic, thought, reason, common sense, or understanding of fact.

* You believe that a few hundred loggers can find another career, but the defenseless spotted owl must live in its preferred tree.

They're suggesting it is better to save the jobs of a few loggers than preserve an endangered species that evolved over millions of years and is now a vital part of the ecosystem the loggers are destroying. Furthermore, this is exaggerated and misinformed, only the Green party would do such things without some type of backup plan for helping the loggers.

* You ever based an argument on the phrase, "But they can afford a tax hike because..."

The best part of capitalism showing through, pure greed. This statement is suggesting that no matter the issue, cause, or justification the government should never raise taxes against anyone for any reason unless they are poor. The typical idea here is the government wants to tax the rich slightly more because they actually have the money to give. The argument in response is that they want their overabundance of money which they will waste on useless things no one needs.

* You keep count of how many people you know in each racial or ethnic category.

This plays off the idea that democrats like to require that schools take in a certain amount of each race to make sure everyone has the same opportunity and no one is being discriminated against. While I don't totally agree with that idea, the response is an obvious over exaggeration (for comedic effect) but fails to see the validity in the fact that blacks and Hispanics are notably lower in their testing averages than any of the other races.

* You believe our government must do it because everyone in Europe does.

They're, of course, referring to health care reform. Ironically the democratic party is split on the issue of health reform. But even more ironic are the countless statistics that back up the direction that Europe is taking health care. Here's a nice fact, the United States is number 1 in the world in health care spending, yet they are 32nd in number of people covered and quality of coverage.

* You can't talk about foreign policy without using the word conspiracy.

They're implying all democrats are conspiracy theorists, which is obviously not true. Democrats tend to be more on the side of peace than war, however.

* You think Ralph Nader makes a lot of sense.

Ralph Nader is a common independent candidate. Chances are this idiot wrote this without ever knowing more about him than his name.

* You think solar energy is being held back by those greedy oil companies.

Utter idiocy, the oil companies are pumping millions of dollars into everyone they can in congress so that they will not pass solar power bills. They oppose any sort of energy because they are not in it for the money. This statement was made by an idiot who thinks clean energy is wrong because if you like it you're a 'tree hugger' or 'gay'.

* You've never been mugged.

This doesn't even make any sense considering Republicans are generally classified as rich and live in higher income areas whereas democrats tend to live in areas where you are prone to being mugged.

* You think the Great Society has actually worked.

I've never met a person who said it did, I'm confused.

* You got teary-eyed during the film "The American President."

Evidently you can't like movies with slight political basis but no real focus on it if you're conservative...

* You think Ayn Rand is an African currency.

This is actually something I would use to describe most conservatives I know. See above for evidence.

* Your house smells like a garbage dump because of your commitment to recycling.

Contrary to popular belief, most people place their recycle OUTSIDE their homes, dumbfuck.

* Your High School Year Book goals included the words "help people."

For a second I thought they were making fun of Republicans when I read this. This idiot is actually insulting people for wanting to help people? *sigh*

* You think the Free Market is where they hand out Government cheese.

I see what they did there, they implied all democrats are socialists. It was sooo funny the first time I heard a 60iq republican (Glenn Beck) say it, and it still is now

* You believe personal injury lawyers when they say they are just trying to defend the little guy.

They're calling democrats gullible, ironically they're the Christians who think the big corporations are not trying to steal every penny they can from everyone else and also trust the government to wiretap citizens responsibly.

* You know that those profit mongering drug companies could find a cure for AIDS if they really wanted to.

Once again saying that democrats accuse large companies of greed. Again, irony because it was absolutely proven in 2008 when Bush gave billions to the CEOs of large failing companies, just to see all those large, failing companies give huge bonuses to all their big executives.

* You actually believe the NY Times and Washington Post.

I won't even start to get into this as both sides of news are incredibly biased.
* You know at least one Vegan.

* You think the anti-war protestors from '60s are the real heroes.

They're implying the people who got drafted against their will and sent to a foreign country to kill its inhabitants are the real heroes.

* You actually think that poverty can be abolished.

They're hating on hope here, saying that by striving for the abolition of poverty Democrats are being stupid. The main point here is Republicans would rather sit on their mountains of money and be served by the impoverished. Selfishness once more.

* You admire the Swedish welfare system.

It's more efficient and offers better care than the American one. To say it isn't is foolish, childish, and uneducated.

* You know that Jefferson really meant to say "Entitled to Happiness."

It actually says "pursuit of happiness" in the declaration of independence. The only time I have ever heard of Democrats bringing this up is regarding things like the draft in which the government is stopping your pursuit of happiness.

* You think the Flat Tax should be at 95%

It's funny because democrats want really high taxes for no reason, oh wait...
* You go to Gay Pride Day parades so that no one can call you homophobic.

* After looking at your pay stub you can still say, "America is undertaxed."

This is coming from a whiny American. Americans have some of the lowest taxes in the world and still complain. It's another example of Republicans taking extremely small picture and personal stuff and trying to use it as a global example of ultimate truth. I believe it could be called circumstantial evidence.

It takes all my restraint as a moderator to not delete this trash from the forums. Thanks for making my day worse and reminding me why I hate you.

True for most, but on such sensitive subject matter as this you'd expect at least slightly better.

[Soviet]

You can not give a fuck all day long, it doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

[Innkeeper]

Soviet, if I have not expressed my love for you before now, I would like to make it evident that you are the fucking coolest person I know.

[zipperdude]

Holy tit sucking jew bags soviet. wow., i posted this for soem slight comical value. thank you for ctiqueing the entire thing for all of us and PMS'ing left and right. someone throw him a rag please!

[Innkeeper]

You said it was funny because of how true it is. Soviet deftly proved how completely untrue it is, therefore, according to your logic, it should not be funny at all any more.

[Soviet]

Precisely, it's not funny, it's depressing, annoying, and painful.

[zipperdude]

Ive been meaning to say this for a while... I truely like your signature that you have.

In all honesty innkeeper, i only like the quote i posted.

and soviet i am sorry if i offended you.

[Soviet]

No offense taken. I'm not a Democrat, just liberal. I'm just stating my perspective in my typical sincere, harsh, and serious approach I use when confronted with something I truly despise.

[Innkeeper]

In all honesty innkeeper, i only like the quote i posted.
