How to tell Republicans from Democrats


Democrats buy most of the books that have been banned somewhere. Republicans form censorship committees and read them as a group.


Democrats give their worn out clothes to those less fortunate. Republicans wear theirs.

Democrats name their children after currently popular sports figures, politicians, and entertainers. Republican children are named after their parents or grandparents, according to where the money is.

Republicans tend to keep their shades drawn, although there is seldom any reason why they should. Democrats ought to, but don't.

Republican boys date Democratic girls. They plan to marry Republican girls, but feel that they're entitled to a little fun first.

Democrats make plans and then do something else. Republicans follow the plans their grandfathers made.

Republicans sleep in twin beds--some even in separate rooms. That is why there are more Democrats.

This is one of the most blatant and racist Freudian slips I have ever heard.

You know if a Republican had said this the Dems would be crucifying him by now.

those crazy liberals on the west coast broke off and formed there own country. i mean u don't agree with them anyaway, you think liberals are bad, so would it be bad if the west coast liberals decided that they didn't want to be part of america and broke away.
this is jusy hypothetical, but remeber russia broke away into it's core, so it is possible the same could happen in america.
so would conservatives be happy if all the liberals migrated west broke off and started there own country.

and if you'd be mad why?
and for the record the west coast has barley been in US possesion.

So regardless of your political leanings, and the political rammafications of history...the 1960's were a time of cultural upheaval and along with that came an amazing movement of art and music. Where is that spirit of creation now? Sure, once again we are at war, and there are those that oppose it, and there are various social movements working toward their various goals.
But where is the music that captures the spirit of the country? And where is the counterculture that was such a huge part of the 60's? People are against the establishment again, but what do we see of it?

How many people agree we need a new president. In his first year as president he broke the record for most vacation days in the history of our nation. Hes more focused on baning gay marriage than the war on terror. (by the way the war on terrism and the war in Iraq are two entirely different things) He is not suit to be comander and chief or our country. Whos with me.

And lose Rumsfeld too

If the evidence to support man made global warming is so convincing and accurate, then why do the proponents of this theory attack every attempt at critical review of their models so vociferiously?Surely if they can prove their findings there is nothing to fear from outside scientists who seek to discredit their findings because in the end the facts will speak for themselves? Science is now and always has been about answering questions and scientific theories are revised often as new evidence becomes available, but there can be no honesty in science if one side is going to declare themselves to have the only right answer and then attempt to stifle all other debate.

Before you start ranting on this. Let me just say I do support conservation, alternative energy sources, pollution control and other enviromental efforts. However, the global warming debate is about money and control, not saving the environment.

I am referring to the following: do you, in general, think that the phenomenon called "global warming" is going on because it is, at first place, a God's will? Hence, human shall not "interfere" in such a will...

Is it true?

I heard that your politicians, including Sr. Bush, of course, think like that and that's why they do not agree with the "scientists" studies on that issue.

...

What do you say about that?

one that believes that the effects, changes in the govt. have on people, are what matters not the intent or the strict adherence to ideal.
one that limits the accumulation of wealth.
one that puts improving the nation ahead of world domination.
what would you want out of a political party like that? What are your ideas?

As an English person but a keen watcher of the US and observing questions and answers from Americans on here, it seems to me that those with strongly Republican views seem to be less articulate, less able to grasp and interpret complex issues, possibly less intelligent, than Democrats.
Could any Americans on here make known to me their political allegiances and educational level, so we can get a feel for whether this is true?

The Nazi Political Platfrom of the 1920's consisted of the following points;

- We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood.
- That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.
- all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits
- We demand the nationalization of all trusts.
- We demand profit-sharing in large industries.
- We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions
- We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalization of large stores

Doesn't these items sound like the liberals attacks on Wal-Mart, Haliburton, support of social security, national socialized health care, national socialized education, attack of Capitalism, windfall profits?

Todays liberals are a rehash of yesterdays Nazis
