I have to share this, which I found via Discount Blogger
Iowahawk on Why I am a Democrat.
A choice example:
I am a Democrat because I believe in the environment and conservation. For instance, we must raise the price of gasoline, like they do in Europe, to increase conservation. If we don't, there will soon be a big gas shortage, and this will mean higher gasoline prices for you and me.
Go read the rest after you have swallowed all beverages....
UPDATE: I got the impression from the comments left that folks aren't clicking through to read the whole post, so let me add another excerpt:
I am a Democrat because I fervently believe in tolerance. Tolerance is critical in our diverse society, and if you have a problem with that, mister, then I will inform the authorities and I bet that after a few hours in their "special room" you too will agree that tolerance is critical.
I hope that helped clarify that it's satire....if not, here's one more:
I am a Democrat because I believe in the rule of law. Or, at least, lawyers. Because hey, according to my attorney, I could have been on the Number 7 bus when it crashed yesterday. As far as you know.
Now go read the whole thing....

Yes the gasoline thing was the big bogey man back in '68. Did you know according to the "conservationists" back then, we should've run out of gasoline about 4 years ago. Funny how we still seem to have so much of it around...
Posted by: Teresa at December 31, 2003 05:56 PMI consider myself a liberal, in that I listen to other people's opinions, express my own, and generally think that everyone should have the freedom and help they need to be successful in life. The trouble is, though, with people who think they know what the problem is, how to solve it, and that everyone who disagrees is an idiot. This clipping that you posted, for example, is from one of those people. Very, very sad. There's other ways to conserve than by hiking prices up. Shoot, Halliburton's already doing that with our military!
Happy New Year, and I hope you got to your goal of website hits!
