A wise man once wrote that to be a Democrat you have to believe:
1)
Your own country is evil
and can do no right and every other country can do no wrong. Only other people can be proud of their
country.
2)
Success is evil. It is somehow noble to be poor and miserable.
3)
Paying people to be poor
and miserable is a great idea. Emulating
successful people is for "sell-outs".
4)
Free speech is only for
reporters and terrorists, not for working class people.
5)
Taxes can never be too
high.
6)
People are too stupid to
take care of themselves.
7)
People are defined by their
race or gender or nationality rather than their own behaviour or achievement.
8)
Paying poor families to
have babies is a great idea.
9)
Paying people not to work
and farmers not to grow crops is a great idea.
10)
Science means whatever a
politically-charged, self-selected group of scientists says it does. If the actual facts are otherwise, just cover
it up, fudge the numbers, and blacklist anyone who says otherwise.
11)
Having the federal
government spend almost twice as much money as it takes in and therefore put
our children and grandchildren in debt is great.
12)
Ignoring your enemies’
intentions and putting your head in the sand is a viable defence strategy. Well, that or just surrendering. "Better Red than Dead!
13)
Importing millions of poor,
uneducated peasants from Third World countries is a great idea. See #3 and #8 above.
14)
Everyone else is the
problem. If only you were dictator of
the world and could tell everyone what to do, the world would be a utopia.
15)
Representative government
is only good when you get your way. If
you don't: protest, throw a fit, harass and intimidate people, and/or cherry
pick a friendly judge to give you what you want.
16)
Welcome murderous foreign
elements with one hand whilst silencing loyal citizens with the other is de
rigueur.
17)
Keep your oil-producing
enemies in business, when your domestic economy is teetering on the brink of
total meltdown.
