You Know You’re a Liberal If...

•You are convinced that Frank Capra films and Norman Rockwell paintings are lies and distortions but “Platoon”, “Dances With Wolves”, and “Thelma and Louise” are realistic.

•You think a moment of silent prayer at the beginning of the school day constitutes government indoctrination and an intrusion on parental authority, while sex education, condom distribution, and multiculturalism are values-neutral.

•You agonize over threats to the natural environment (acid rain, toxic waste) but are oblivious to threats to the social environment (pornography, promiscuity, and family dissolution).

•You want to legalize cocaine and outlaw handguns. You think cops are pigs and criminals are products of their environment. You believe the National Rifle Association helps criminals while the American Civil Liberties Union protects the innocent.

•Jesse Jackson and Barbara Streisand make sense to you.

•You believe corporate profits are obscene and the American people are undertaxed.

•You think marriage is obsolete — except for homosexuals. You think AIDS is spread by insufficient funding.

•You are convinced that proponents of welfare reform hate the poor and opponents of affirmative action hate minorities, but People for the American Way types who go psycho over Protestant “fundamentalists” are guardians of democracy.

•You attribute every minority problem to entrenched, institutional racism and the legacy of slavery and segregation. You think the black middle class is a myth created by Newt Gingrich.

•Lastly, you’re probably a Liberal if you don’t get the point of this list.

Yes, I've been to Europe. It's not any more civilized than most areas of the USA. Liberals are easily impressed by celebrities and the French.
