I found this over at Landover Baptist and its true in many ways

To be a Republican you need to believe:

 

1. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary

Clinton.

 

2. 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 did business with him,

and a bad guy when Bush needed a “we can’t find Bin Laden” diversion.

 

3. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but

trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international

harmony.

 

4. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our

highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

 

5. A woman can’t be trusted with decisions about her own body, but

multinational drug corporations can make decisions affecting all

mankind without regulation.

 

6. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in

speeches, while slashing veterans’ benefits and combat pay.

 

7. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won’t have sex.

 

8. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our longtime allies,

then demand their cooperation and money.

 

9. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing

health care to all Americans is socialism. HMO’s and insurance

companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

 

10. Global warming and tobacco’s link to cancer are junk science , but

creationism should be taught in schools.

 

11. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable

offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which

thousands die is solid defense policy.

 

12. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the

Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the

Internet.

 

13. The public has a right to know about Hillary’s cattle trades, but

George Bush’s driving record is none of our business.

 

14. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you’re

a conservative radio host. Then it’s an illness and you need our

prayers for your recovery.

 

15. Supporting “Executive Privilege” for every Republican ever born,

who will be born or who might be born (in perpetuity.)

 

16. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960’s is of vital national

interest, but what Bush did in the ’80’s is irrelevant.

 

17. Support for hunters who shoot their friends and blame them for

wearing orange vests similar to those worn by the quail.

 

If you don’t send this to at least 10 other people, we’re likely to

be stuck with more Republicans in ‘08.

The test below

I stole that from Shelly at Demiurgiclust. THe interesting thing is I live near one of the mentioned cities (Portland/Salem) and I was born just outside one of them (Washington DC) and lived in another for a couple years (Denver) and pondered seriously living in two of them (Albuquerque and Kansas City).

Though my hometown (based on amount of meaningful years spent there. Not on being born there) is not on the list. Nor is the big city nearest it.

Interesting though

Interesting since I have lived in a couple of these cities

Annoyance of the Day

Todays annoyance goes to:

 

People who talk to you in the bathroom while you are taking a leak.

 

I realize that it may be acceptable for women to do this. I don’t know. Never been a woman or in a ladies room (well once accidentally when I was very drunk but we wont go there). Anyway, in the mans world, it is not cool to carry on conversations with people while using the facilities. It is not cool to ask about your day or your computer while peeing. You are supposed to silently stare at that imaginary spot on the wall and do your business. When you make a man uneasy while in the bathroom it becomes difficult and awkward both physically and mentally.

 

I will talk to you but please don’t talk to me when I am in the bathroom. It freaks me out man.

 

 

Here is the Story about the Anthrax Scare from the Albany Democrat Herald

Anthrax Scare Closes Albany Courthouse

A friend of mine from the Coast emailed me and told me. Since I am at work and work is not in Albany, I didn’t know. Here is the article from KVAL in Eugene

 

ALBANY, Ore. (AP) - Linn County officials have closed the courthouse in downtown Albany for the day, saying they have had an ''anthrax threat''.

Commissioner Roger Nyquist (NEYE'-quist) says a county employee found writing on a courthouse door and some packages inside early Monday morning that indicated a threat.

He says the Linn County Sheriff's Department and Albany Fire Department have been conducting a HAZMAT inspection and the package will be taken to a lab for analysis.

The results are expected to come sometime Monday. Nyquist said a decision will be made Monday afternoon on whether or not the courthouse will reopen Tuesday.

Words we may all die by

If you are innocent, you have nothing to hide and need not fear. This is often said, Mostly be Republicans when discussing homeland security, RFID, police state, etc. Those who say that may end up being the first to find out it is not true.

 

If you are innocent, you have everything to fear. Do you trust the government to decide if you are innocent or suspicious.

 

We aren’t there yet but I don’t like the way things are going.

 

May God help us all if we really are heading for 1984.

 

I gotta quit listening to Coast to Coast and reading articles on the Internet. Being an ostrich with head buried in the sand was so much easier. I think I should go back to Church, stop thinking and do what they tell me. If big brother says 2+2=5 it’s a lot easier to believe it than to get all your teeth pulled out with pliers and branded as a thought criminal like that dude on 1984.

 

This post is full of sarcasm. A bit of conspiracy theory and an element of reality. I may sound like a paranoid idiot and no I am not ready to move to Idaho and start talking about the black choppers taking me away to an internment camp. I just think a bit of vigilance would be smart. Why should we trust the government that brought us, nuclear weapons, the iraq war, fake elections, and homeland security. Lets ask the children at Waco, Randy Weaver, the residents of Iraq, Muammar Khadafi’s children, and a series of random innocent death row inmates what they think about this.

 

All I am really saying here is don’t be an ostrich. Watch the signs. Be prepared and be afraid but only slightly afraid.

 

Actually if you want to be an ostrich, go ahead. I am not telling anyone what to believe. If you want to believe the sky is purple you have that right.
