6. Being stupid means. . .

You believe the economic boom in the 90s was a result of Reagan's taxcuts, 6 years after he left office.

You believe the recession we are in now, is a result of Clinton. Which started a year after he left office.

You believe Jesus really was white with Anglo-Saxon looks.

You believe Jesus would be Pro-war, anti-abortion, and Pro-death penalty.

You believe corporations can be trusted to look out for your interests far better than a collection of your fellow workers (union).

You believe the National Debt doesn't matter.

You believe the weakening of the dollar, can be made up with military strong-arming and veiled threats.

You believe oil will be around forever, and always be cheap. So who cares if you and everyone you know drives around in Hummers.

You believe we should "support our troops" and "support the war" but GOD FORBID you serve yourself to prove your point.

You believe Your God hates gay people just as much as you do.

You believe "global warming" is a "natural" occurrence.

11. Here's my personal favorite:

Being stupid means I believe that there are a finite number of terrorists in the world, and that the way to end terrorism is to kill all of them, and then there will be no more terrorists and everybody will be safe and sound. Oh, and that no non-terrorists will happen to get killed while we are in the process of killing the terrorists.

13. More stupids

Being Stupid means Saddam was involved in 9/11--the REAL evidence will come out any day now.

Being Stupid means that we're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here.

Being Stupid means "supporting the troops" is the same as supporting George W Bush.

Being Stupid means that George W Bush actually gives a flying fuck about Democracy in Iraq--or anyplace else in the world, including the U.S.

Being Stupid means George W Bush was legitimately elected in 2000 and 2004.

Being REALLY Stupid means George W Bush has a "mandate."

Being stupid means that huge tax breaks for corporations are good, but helping the poor is bad.

Being Stupid means trillions in tax cuts for the rich are good for the country.

Being Stupid means that America is a Christian nation (as opposed to a nation primarily made up of Christians)

Being colossally, dangerously Stupid means that God has chosen George W Bush to be president, and all those who oppose him are against God.
