You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity. 3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists. 4. You have to believe that our Commander in Chief should be impeached because he sanctioned wire taps on international calls from known terrorists. 5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's. 6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural. 7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding. 8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex. 9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do. 10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it. 11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion Of The Christ for financial gain only. 12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it claims to support certain parts of the Constitution. 13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, and people like Sean Penn and Jane Fonda are more credible than Newt Gingrich or Rudy Giuliani. 14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, Thomas Edison & A.G. Bell. 15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas, affirmative action and set-asides are not. 16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is a normal, very nice person and you really believe that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are patriots. 17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism has never worked anywhere is because the right people haven't been in charge. 18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House. 19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and Manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.. 20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese Government is somehow in the best interest of the United States. 21. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy

You are pro-life from the moment of conception to the moment of birth then To hell wih the little bastarts let's cut head start program and give ourselves a tax break. 2. Your beloved President getting into Yale on a "Rich Boy" affirmative action program is some how different than affirmative action for black people. 3. Illegal drug use is only a crime when the poor do it. Rush is a different kind of "junkie." 4. Medical Insurance is "faith based" ...you pray that you never get sick. 5. Man and dinosaurs were both created on the 6th day by God so the Flintstones Cartoon Show is actually a historcial documentary.. 6. Borrowing 2 Billion dollars a day to run the Government is really a sign that the economy is good. 7. You support the War on Terror by sending your son to a private college and putting a magnetic "support the troops" sticker on your gas guzzling SUV. 8. Bill Clinton is Satan's personal representative on earth. 9. Last for now...NOTHING IS BAD IF A REPUBLICAN DOES IT!!! Ken
