To be a Republican you need to believe that: A BushBot responds
I sent that "To be Republican..." to a bushbot here at work and to some fellow left minded, level headed folks. This is the BushBots response (Oh and this nut, thinks Shrub is a fucking saint):

Here comes that vast Right Wing conspircy again...

To be a Democrap:

You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.


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.

You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

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 SUVs.

You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

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.

You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

You have to believe that self esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

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.

You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.

You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.

You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House.

You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese government is somehow in the best interest to the United States.

You have to believe that the posting of this list is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.

4. No, I believe a hateful angry person wrote that all by themself.
The world is not teaming up to just to piss this person off. Being personally offended by broad social trends is about the stupidest thing there is.

A person this angry could just snap one day and murder everyone who crosses his path.

In all of those statements there is not one shred of compassion and very little humanity. This is a very reptilian mind that only serves itself.

5. The rhetorical falacy known as the strawman continues to be a Republican favorite.

8. Here's one problem I have with that..
"You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison."

Robert E. Lee was a traitor. He took up arms against the lawfully elected (and, ironically, Republican) government of the US.
