Let's adopt the following two amendments to the U.S. Constitution:
"The Congress shall have the power to declare war, and this time we
really do mean it."
"No person shall be denied life, liberty, or
property without due process of law, and this time we really do mean
it."

25 Rules For Being A Good Republican
1) Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you are
millionaire conservative radio jock, which makes it an "illness" and needs
our prayers for your "recovery".
2) You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all
on their own.
3) You have to believe that the US should get out of the UN, and that our
highest national priority is enforcing UN resolutions against Iraq.
4) You have to believe that government should stay out of people's lives but
it needs to punish anyone caught having private sex with the "wrong" gender.
5) You have to believe that pollution is ok, so long as it makes a profit.
6) You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don't pray to
Allah or Buddha.
7) "Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their
jobs to India.
8) You have to believe that a woman cannot be trusted with decisions about
her own body, but that large multi-national corporations can make decisions
affecting all mankind with no regulation whatsoever.
9) You have to believe that you love Jesus and Jesus loves you, and that
Jesus shares your hatred of AIDS victims, homosexuals, and Hillary Clinton.
10) You hate the ALCU for representing convicted felons, but they owed it to
the country to bail out Oliver North.
11) You have to believe that the best way to encourage military morale is to
praise the troops overseas while cutting their VA benefits.
12) You believe that group sex and drug use are degenerate sins that can
only be purged by running for governor of California as a Republican.
13) You have to believe it is wise to keep condoms out of schools, because
we all know if teenagers don't have condoms they won't have sex.
14) You have to believe that the best way to fight terrorism is to alienate
our allies and then demand their cooperation and money.
15) You have to believe that government medicine is wrong and that HMO's and
insurance companies only have your best interests at heart.
16) You have to believe that providing health care to all Iraqis is sound
government policy but providing health care to all Americans is socialism
personified.
17) You believe that tobacco's link to cancer and global warming are "junk
science", but Creationism should be taught in schools.
18) You have to believe that waging war with no exit strategy was wrong in
Vietnam but right in Iraq.
19) You have to believe that Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a
bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney was doing
business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin
Laden" diversion.
20) You believe that government should restrict itself to just the powers
named in the Constitution, which includes banning gay marriages and
censoring the Internet.
21) You have to believe that the public has a right to know about the
adulterous affairs of Democrats, while those of Republicans are a "private
matter".
22) You have to believe that the public has a right to know about Hillary's
cattle trades but that Bush was right to censor those 28 pages from the
Congressional 9/11 report because you just can't handle the truth.
23) You support state rights, which means Ashcroft telling states what
locally passed voter initiatives he will allow them to have.
24) You have to believe that what Clinton did in the 1960's is of vital
national interest but what Bush did decades later is "stale news" and
"irrelevant".
25) You have to believe that trade with Cuba is wrong because it is
communist, but trading with China and Vietnam is just dandy.

Here's a great quote from Ann Coulter
"The U.S. military has had considerably more success in turning Iraq
around than liberals have had in turning the ghettos around with
their
40-year 'War on Poverty.' So far, fewer troops have been killed by
hostile fire since the end of major combat in Iraq than civilians
were
murdered in Washington, DC, last year (239 deaths in Iraq compared
to262 murders in DC.)
The DC death stats, if true, were for a full year.
"The deaths bring to 500 the number of U.S. service members who have
died since the Iraq conflict began on March 20."
How many from other nations, including Iraqis killed by US forces,
have
there been? The number of Iraqis killed is a deep secret.
But if you are even a suspect for anything it seems your family and
relatives
can be taken off to concentration camps and your home destroyed.

Not to mention there has been no "40-year War on Poverty," either...
"Liberal" or otherwise.
