///You've ever referred to someone as "my (insert racial or ethnic minority here) friend" /// Noooo. /// You've ever tried to prove Jesus was a capitalist and opposed to welfare. /// Not being a Xian, I don't particularly CARE what his opinion was. // You're a pro-lifer, but support the death penalty. /// I'm pre-choice and I support the death penalty. You got a problem with that? ///You think Huey Newton is a cookie. /// I think Huey Newton was the honcho of a bunch of criminal thugs. ///The only union you support is the Baseball Players, because heck, they're richer than you./// Nope. And I think playgrounds for millionaires should be built with THEIR money, not mine. /// You think you might remember laughing once as a kid./// Actually, I laugh fairly commonly. There were some pretty good jokes in the list I posted. Certainly much better that this flea-bitten collection you found. ///You once broke loose at a party and removed your neck tie./// Very rarely wear one. ///You call mall rent-a-cops "jack-booted thugs." /// That is simply stupid. ///You've ever referred to the moral fiber of something. /// Noooo. But do you have a problem with moral fiber? /// You've ever uttered the phrase, "Why don't we just bomb the sons of bitches." /// No. What I say is "Why don't we just NUKE the sons of bitches." ///You've ever said, "I can't wait to get into business school." /// I'd prefer having a root canal without anaesthetic, actually. //// You've ever called a secretary or waitress "Tootsie." /// Nooooo. ///You answer to "The Man." /// Noooooo. /// You don't think "The Simpsons" is all that funny, but you watch it because that Flanders fellow makes a lot of sense. /// Never seen the Simpsons. Don't want to. /// You fax the FBI a list of "Commies in my Neighborhood."/// Noooo. Although I doubt there are any. A lot of them are Asian immigrants who want to get rich. I think this country should consider itself lucky to get such people. ///You don't let your kids watch Sesame Street because you accuse Bert and Ernie of "sexual deviance."/// No kids. Don't watch kiddie cartoons. ///You use any of these terms to describe your wife: Old ball and chain, little woman, old lady, tax credit..///. No. She's "my wife", "dear", "honey", ...... ///You scream "Dit-dit-ditto" while making love. /// Sorrrrry. Never listen to Limbaugh. /// You've argued that art has a "moral foundation set in Western values." /// Art occurs in all societies. And does not necessarily have much to do with morals. ///When people say "Marx," you think "Groucho." /// There was a comedian named Groucho Marx, one of the Marx Brothers. Then there was a disaster for the human race named Karl Marx. Why? Do you agree with Karl? ///You've ever yelled, "Hey hippie, get a haircut."/// Actually, right at this moment, someone would be more likely to day that to me. I'm planning on getting a haircut this week, though. ///You think Birkenstock was that radical rock concert in 1969./// No, Birkenstocks are my wife's preferred sandal. ///You argue that you need 300 handguns, in case a bear ever attacks your home./// No. But I think the 2nd amendment is on of those civil liberties you are so fond of. OH! You want to PICK AND CHOOSE among those first 10 amendments! Sorry. Package deal. /// Vietnam makes a lot of sense to you. /// Define "sense". If losing 65,000 men in a war that you should have seen within a few years you were ultimately going to lose because you would never have the cojones to actually FIGHT it makes sense, then Vietnam made sense. /// You point to Hootie and the Blowfish as evidence of the end of racism in America. /// Actually, I prefer Colin and Condoleeza. ///You've ever said civil liberties, schmivil schmiberties./// Nuts. Civil liberties are the reason America is America. If this nation is not about civil liberties, it's about nothing. The ACLU is a different matter. It's an undercover DNC operation. ///You've ever said "Clean air? Looks clean to me." /// I'm n Silicon Gulch. If you have any clean air, please send it. ///You spent MLK Day reading "The Bell Curve."/// You doubt that humans really do differ in ability? In that case you're to dumb to be worth discussing anything with. Is intelligence racially distributed? I know of no evidence that supports that. And lots of individual exceptions that contradict it. ///You've ever called education a luxury./// Of cpourse it's not a luxury, stupid. A democracy depends on an informed electorate. ///You look down through a glass ceiling and chuckle./// Tell that to Carly. ///You wonder if donations to the Pentagon are tax-deductable./// Now THAT I'd be in favor of! That would mean I could deduct my taxes off my taxes. Taken to the logical extreme: no taxes! ///You came of age in the '60s and don't remember Bob Dylan./// Don't be stupid. I came of age in the '60s and I know quite well who he was. I wonder: Who wrote more top hits? Dylan or Lennon? I'd bet Dylan. ///You own a vehicle with an "Ollie North: American Hero" sticker./// Hmmmm. I think North knowingly broke the law. ///You're afraid of the "liberal media." /// Afraid? Nuts. I'll meet all of them at once in the parking lot. ///You ever based an argument on the phrase, "Well, tradition dictates...."/// Sorry. Wrong number. Never done it. ///You've ever called the National Endowment for the Arts a bunch of pornographers./// Well, there was that Mapplethorpe guy. What did you call that stuff? ///You think all artists are gay./// It never even occured to me that Gene Autry was gay. ///You ever told a child that Oscar the Grouch "lives in a trash can because he is lazy and doesn't want to contribute to society."/// I gave up watching kiddie cartoon shows when left childhood. You didn't? Maybe that's the probelm. ///You've ever urged someone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, when they don't even have shoes./// Depends. If they are incapable of working, then society provides for them. If the situation was created by forces REALLY beyond their control , such as major fire, earthquake, flood, etc, then society steps in. If they screwed of their own free will, then they still serve a purpose: As bad examples. ///You confuse Lenin with Lennon. /// Sorry. Not that ignorant.
