100 Things You Can Say To Irritate A Republican (HUMOR)

100 Things You Can Say To Irritate A Republican (HUMOR)
Author: Stephen D. Foster Jr. January 14, 2013 12:03 am



Conservatives are so easy to anger these days. Even the most insignificant statement can set off their tempers. If you want to enrage a conservative, I suggest saying the following:

1. A Socialist wrote the Pledge of Allegiance.
2. Jesus healed the sick and helped the poor, for free.
3. Joseph McCarthy was an un-American, witch hunting sissy.
4. Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee were traitors.
5. The South lost the Civil War, get over it.
6. The Founding Fathers were liberals.
7. Fascism is a right-wing trait.
8. Sarah Palin is an idiot.
9. The Earth is round.
10. Reagan raised taxes eleven times as President.
11. Reagan legalized abortion as Governor of California.
12. Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency.
13. Ronald Reagan supported gun control.
14. Global warming is real.
15. Republicans hate illegal immigrants, unless they need their lawns mowed or their houses cleaned...

I was in a store last year and the woman behind the counter was saying "Merry Christmas" to each person as they checked out, but the way she said it was over the top.

And then at one point she said to one customer (who I think she knew), "No one is going to stop ME from saying merry Christmas!"

So I checked out, and she said "Merry Christmas" ... and I said "and Happy Holidays to you."

Her stunned expression was priceless.

"In what branch, and when did you serve?"

Most of them can't answer that, because they didn't. Effin' chickenhawks.

They seem to have a lot of veteran chickenhawks.

Really though, I've never yet met a veteran who is nearly as hawkish as the chickenhawk neocons that I've run into.

"The military is a government-run institution, so why do Republicans approve the defense budget?"

I can't wait to use this next time I get into a political conversation with my mother. This to me totally captures the hypocrisy and brainlessness of most of today's Repugs.

They've grown fond lately of defining "Nazi" (and hence fascism) as a socialist ideology since, well, it contains the word "socialist". Neverminding the actual history.

pity that some of the people who chose to comment after that article are so humour-deficient. nor did they get that the statements are actual facts, not just something made up.
