Humpr from Mike Silverman
How to tell if you are a right-wing wacko.....
... You think same-sex marriage is a greater threat to the United
States then terrorism.
... You see nothing ironic about worshipping a large granite statue
of the ten commandments.
... You support Israel...only because it needs to exist so that the
End Times can begin.
... You favor genetically modified food but are against stem cell
research.
... You vote on the same side as Iran and Libya at the UN...when
the vote is about reproductive rights.
... You think it is OK for the government to tell people how to
have sex and how to pray, as long as they tell people to do both
those things the way you do them.
... You appreciate Ted Nugent's music without any sense of irony.
... You think John Walker (the American Taliban) is a traitor
because he took up arms against the United States but you think
Oliver North is a hero because he sold arms to the enemies of the
United States.
... You consider gays, blacks, and whatnot organizing politically
to be "special interest groups" but think that when the Southern
Baptists do the same thing that they are just being patriotic
citizens.
How to tell if you are a leftist idiotarian...
... You are secretly (or not so secretly) glad every time a US
soldier dies in Iraq because that "proves" that you were right and
might hurt Bush.
... You believe that Jews have too much power, or that Israel has
too much influence.
... You compare Bin Laden to Che Guevara, and believe that this
is a positive thing.
... You will not vote for Howard Dean because he is too
conservative.
... Any of your arguments rely on Noam Chomsky as a reference
(unless the subject is limited to linguistics).
... You believe that burning down an auto dealership and new
housing developments is an effective way to fight pollution of the
environment.
... You believe that suicide bombers are heroic fighters for
freedom.
... You are very concerned with the fate of the "political prisoners"
at Guitanamo Bay but could care less about real political prisoners
in places like Iran.
... You think the occupation of the West Bank by Israel is a
terrible tragedy, but support the fraternal assistance of Syrian
troops in Lebanon.
... You compare the President to a chimpanzee, and then
participate in a chimpanzee "rescue" at your local research lab,
and do not see the irony!
... You think the Weekly Standard is ultra-right-wing but the
Nation is middle of the road.
... You are against same-sex marriage...because marriage is an evil
patriarchal institution.
... You have no problem with racism, hatred, homophobia, and
misogyny, as long as these are practiced by non-Western cultures.
... You believe that automatically being against any military action
by America is a mark of your moral superiority.
... You voted for Ralph Nader, ever.
... You generally despise law enforcement, except when acts of
terrorism occur, when you then say that they should be treated as
crimes and investigated by law enforcement as opposed to being
retaliated against with the military.
... You put the word terrorism in "quotes" when writing.
