I've marvelled at the crazy, idiotic hypocrisy of some of these for a long time. Some of my favorites:
3. You accuse Obama of being a Muslim, yet condemn him for going to Jeremiah Wrights Christian church.
6. You are considering moving to Canada to avoid health insurance mandates.
14. You believe that Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal caused the Great Depression; even though FDR took office 4 years after it began.
17. You cheer at the idea of the uninsured dying.
36. You proudly display a sign that reads: Obama is a M-O-R-A-N at rallies.
40. You support the death penalty, the NRA and wars, yet claim to be Pro-Life.

51. You beleive that "welfare" takes a larger share of the federal budget than the military.

(35,361 posts)on the radio this morning. The host was reading off school cancellations because of the snow. This guy makes the comment that he busted his hump to afford a house in and area where his kids wouldn't get snowed in but they can't go to school because some kid in a trailer out in the boondocks can't get there. Needless to say he mentioned he was a conservative Republican afterwords. I wrote the radio host about it and told him the guy is an asshole and I would never patronize his restaurant.
