We Hold These Truths…
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. #
