You might be a neocon/freeper if....
On one of my forums someone posted a "You know your a lib if..." thread with stuff like:

"If you think the best way to care about a disease is to wear a ribbon...

If you think that pouring blood on a $1, 500 fur coat is a sure-fire way to get your message across, but if anyone protests outside an abortion clinic, they're extremists...

If you think the New York Times is fair and balanced, but Fox News is ultra right-wing..."

So, I thought it might be fun to come up with our own "list".

What do ya think?

7. Sure. Sounds like fun.
You might be a Freepazoid/neocon if...

...you believe that evolution is junk science, but stories about how God created the world in six days should be taught in schools.

... you think the government has no right to infringe on your personal life, but it's OK for them to pass the Patriot Act, which, um...lets them read your personal information, track which sites you've accessed on the Internet, and even which books you've checked out of the library.

...you believe that a man who sat and read a book to kindergarten kids on 9/11 is the best man to protect you from terrorist attacks.

...you believe it's an impeachable offense for a President to lie about getting a blowjob in the Oval Office, but it's perfectly all right for a President to lie about intelligence and dupe the country into war.

...you can dismiss anyone who disagrees with you about the Iraq War as a "pussy liberal commie" but show your "support" by slapping a magnetic ribbon on the back of your SUV.

...you think that a story about a boy wizard who defeats an evil Dark Lord is blasphemy, but stories about a man who can walk on water and turn one fish and loaf into many are perfectly feasible.

...you support the right of an unborn fetus to live, but not Alzheimer's patients, cancer patients, and the troops in Iraq.

25. I got a lot more where those came from.
You might be a Freepazoid/Neocon/Fundy Nutcase if...

...you belong to the world's largest religion, yet you claim that because you aren't allowed to force your religion on others that you are being "discriminated against."

...you believe that two gay people getting married is wrong and immoral, but two straight people who marry and divorce 60 gazillion times and have 8 billion kids are A-OK.

...you think we shouldn't trade with Cuba because they're Communist, but trading with China and Vietnam is "good for world markets."

...you voted for George W. Bush on the sole belief that John Kerry (or Al Gore) would take your damn gun away.

...you think that a party of House ethics violators, doctors who make diagnoses based on videotapes, creeps who leave their wives on their deathbeds, and fat liars who have been married four times yet preach about the "sanctity of marriage" is the party of "moral values."

...you believe that the public had a right to know EVERYTHING Bill and Hillary Clinton before he became governor, but what George W. Bush was doing between 1972 and 1974 is irrelevant.

12. ok......just made this one up

You might be a neocon/freeper if you learned that Terri Schaivo was a neocon, that her autopsy showed half a brain and your response is, "What's your point?"

I tearfully apologize to those I may have offended.

and

....you know your Dad gets some on the side for the above reason and because of that lost weekend in a Mexican brothel.

15. You might be a repuke if
You might be a republican if you remember laughing once as a kid.

You might be a republican if you fax the FBI a list of "Commies in my Neighborhood."

You might be a republican if you won't let your kids watch Sesame Street because you accuse Bert and Ernie of "sexual deviance."

You might be a republican if you try to argue that poverty could be abolished if people were just allowed to keep more of their minimum wage.

You might be a republican if you believe the "greenhouse effect" means better gardens.

You might be a republican if you believe God is everywhere - except in your motel room.

28. You might be a freeper if
...You consider the "free market" to mean that the Federales arrest Gramma for trying to get cheap drugs from Canada.

...Your moral compass stops at the U.S. border.

...you don't know that the founders were the original "liberal elite."

...you love big government when YOUR party is the big government.

...you seek to amend the Constitution every time the Chimperor lets a beer fart.

...if you think perpetual logical fallacy, sensationalism and whining passes for political discourse.

...You can't see the devil on Pat Robertson's shoulder, for the glare of his diamond suit.

...your Jesus wears a crown of dollar signs.

...Your tastebuds are set to "fried" or "gravy."

...You think skanky country music chicks are really hot.

...you're too fat to fit in a regular-sized car.

...all irony is lost on you.

...you think you'll look "rich" if you vote Republican.

...you dream about getting it up the ass from Ann Coulter's "angry three inches," and that scares you, so you overcompensate by being homophobic.

...you're cowering in a closet, right now, with an AK and a picture of Sean Hannity, worrying about when the next Islamofascist, commie, feminist or homosexual is going to jump out of your next McFlurry and try to take away the light-up baby Jesus, from your plastic nativity scene.

19. You might be a freeptard if
You believe that the way to your economic prosperity is giving the ultra-rich MORE cash.

You believe stem-cell research is an abomination but find the creation of a woman via a man's limb is perfectly plausible.

You own the following three at once: W'04 swastika; Yeller ribbon; SUV; and the irony completely escapes you.

You STILL think that the corporate-owned media is slanted in favor of liberals.

You scream "LIBERAL BASTARD" at the top of your lungs at the thought of taxes being raised to help schools, roads and infrastructure here, but find the idea of wasting billions upon billions to "fuck up sum camel jockeys" is more or less OK in your book.

Individual with brown skin, regardless of nation = terrorist.

You STILL believe Republicans are eternal victims despite their undisputed control in nearly every sector of government and corporations.

Saudi Arabian + Egyptian = Iraqi.

You find nothing at all wrong with a leader who lies to you about wasting YOUR tax dollars to attack a nation that did nothing to us, does absolutely nothing as innocent people are dying in burning towers, stifles independent investigations about that terrible event, attacks politicians who fought bravely in conflict which NOT ONE PERSON of his administration served in, admits not ONE mistake, says the same three things Rove-prepared for him over and over and over again and is nothing but a willing hand-puppet to Captain Pacemaker and his bloodthirsty greedbag cabal.

You see NOTHING wrong with giving up liberty for security . . . at ALL.

20. You might be a freeper if...
you blame the Liberal Environmentalists because you lost your job.

you "Support" the troops by slapping yellow ribbon magnets on your school-bus sized Ford "Ostentatious" and the matching jet skis that you tow behind it.

you think that the founding fathers meant for there to be no separation of church and state.

you think that PBS and NPR are too liberal.

you think that welfare and section 8 housing should be eliminated because it only encourages the poor to live off the state and have more babies.

You think that a woman loses her right to make her own reproductive decisions once she agrees to have sex.

You think the actions of George W. Bush are the acts of a good Christian.

24. You might be a freeper if
you want the government to tell you who you can or can't marry.

if you think it's ok for big business to default on their obligations, but the poor better come up with the cash.

you think SS will not pay out when you retire, but the government will not default on the loan from China.

you think Michael Moore is one of the Hollywood elite, but Arnold is a politician.

you think Hollywood is evil and go ahead and elect Reagan, Arnold, and Fred Thompson.

30. I thought most of these were pretty funny..
but I have to say, some of them made me laugh for an entirely different reason. That being, for instance, every drug user I know (and yes that includes a couple of former crack addicts) is liberal.
In my family of alcoholics, only 3 are loud and proud Republicans- 2 of them don't smoke, drink, or use drugs- the other one can't vote so his politics are moot. I have a Southern Baptist in my family who voted for Kerry because she hates the fact we are in Iraq and believes Bush fakes his religious affiliation. My brother and I were raised in trailer parks, by alcoholics, have both used numerous drugs, are both *also* alcoholics, and we are both very liberal. So I guess that is all "haha I'm glad we didn't turn out that way" funny? :P

Other than that, great stuff! :7

31. You might be a neocon/freeper if...
You think a school health class mentioning that some people are homosexual is "enforced homosexuality". However you want science classes to tell students that Evolution is "only a theory" and to give Creationism equal billing, and don't call that "enforced religiosity".

You want public prayer/school prayer/public monuments to religion, etc., but you mean YOUR RELIGION, not religions in general. If you see some "freaky witch crap/hippy Buddhist garbage/bleeping Muslim stuff" in YOUR public park you're gonna have a COW MAN!

You say you promote a "culture of life" while being pro-death penalty, pro-gun, pro-hunting, anti-Social Security and anti-stem-cell research.

You say you are "pro-family" yet are opposed to any aid programs designed to assist families in need.

You are rabidly pro-war, but won't go near a recruiting station.
