My good friend Arlen sent me a list of “Things you have to believe to be a Republican today.” It’s actually pretty on-target, with stuff like:

• A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
• Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
• Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you’re a conservative radio host. Then it’s an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
• The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
• Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

You can see the full list at AZplace.

Of course, in the interest of fairness, AZplace “also has Things you have to believe to be a Democrat today, but I really didn’t find it all that damn funny.
