Add: You think Moby Dick is a venereal disease.
-
You might be a Lefty if:
- You think Vietnam Veterans are "baby killers", Big tobacco targets children, and there should be no death penalty, but believe women should be allowed to abort their children on demand with no restrictions.
- You think the environment should be protected for animals and their unborn children, that it is wrong to eat animals, fish, or eggs, that trees have feelings, that animals can conceptualize, and that human the fetus is an unthinking, unfeeling blob of protoplasm.
- You think that if Roe VS. Wade were overturned, abortion would automatically become illegal in the United States.
- You think that a refusal to provide government funding for research involving Stem-Cells harvested after a certain date, in deference to conscientious objectors to the practice, constitutes a complete ban on stem-cell research
- You think that taxpayers should be forced to pay for government programs they find immoral or go against their beliefs, but are outraged by Faith-based government initiatives that fund organizations whose beliefs go against yours.
- You believe morality shouldn’t be legislated, but support laws and policies that enforce your moral beliefs regarding Gay Marriage, Abortion, poverty and equality.
- You believe that it is inhumane to use a feeding tube to force feed a duck to produce foie gras, but perfectly humane to remove a feeding tube from a human that will die of starvation without it.
- You think that men have no business drafting abortion laws, but that people who have never held a gun are the best ones to write firearms legislation.
- You think that if someone is getting richer, someone, somewhere, must be getting poorer, because the amount of wealth on the planet is constant, and therefore cavemen lived better than anyone else because there were so few of them
- You live in constant fear that someone, somewhere, is making a profit.
- You think that age, training, education, profession, years of experience, geographical location, criminal history, inter-personal skills and work ethics have no bearing on income, and therefore believe that discrepancies in income can only come about as a result of discrimination based on gender and/or race.
- You believe the difference between the richest person and the poorest person in a society is a good indicator of how wealth is actually distributed and factors such as the average age, years of education, the number of hours worked, the number of workers per household, as well as the actual numbers of people in each income bracket, and the migration of individuals from bracket to bracket as they age are irrelevant to the discussion.
- You believe there is no difference between wealth and income, and therefore want to tax anyone with a high income (even if its for just one year) as wealthy.
- You believe that tax cuts for the rich are unfair because poor people deserve to get more back in income taxes than they pay.
- You believe a cut in tax rates automatically means the government collects less money in taxes
- You believe a cut in government spending means the government will spend less next year than it did this year[

- You think that consenting adults can engage freely in every kind of activity except for buying and selling goods in an open market.
- You think AIDS is spread by insufficient government funding.
- You think wanting to keep what you earned through voluntary transactions with others is greedy, but wanting to use Government power to take what isn't yours is Noble.
- You think Prices are the same thing as Costs, and that setting prices at an arbitrary level will make things cost less, and therefore support this approach to create a living wage, affordable housing, affordable drugs and affordable health care.
- You are consistently surprised and blame greedy businesses when Government price fixing results in shortages, black markets and a degradation in standards and quality
- You think the stock market is too risky to put retirement money into, but that a mandatory, government -run pyramid scheme, from which the government routinely borrows money using the incomes of future taxpayers as collateral, is a safe investment strategy
- You speak out on the "evils of corporate America" but spend a great deal of your time at Starbucks reading you ipad

- You think that selling what people want, in order to get what you want is called “greed”

- You think that everyone has a right to respect , but deny that they also have a right to their own opinions.
- You think the answer to ANY crime, infraction, or injustice is counseling, and that would-be criminals are deterred by long delays in the justice system, inconsistent sentencing, and the threat of parole.
- You think War and torture are wrong, running gun to terrorists and drug lords is despicable, 6% unemployment is unacceptable, Violations of the 4th amendment impeachable, and use the IRS to persecute political enemies an abuse of power, but only when there is a Republican in the White House
- You see no correlation between welfare and the rise of illegitimacy, judicial leniency and surging crime rates, or addiction and an entertainment industry that glorifies drug abuse.
- You believe that whenever there is violence, the weapon used to execute that violence is at fault and not the person who wielded it.
- You believe that gun-control laws will deter criminals who do not follow laws from obtaining guns and using them against an unarmed, law-abiding citizenry.
- You think that laws will make people living in a crack house put a trigger lock on a stolen gun
- You believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than nuclear or biological weapons in the hands of the Chinese, Koreans, Iran…
- You believe that dialing 911 is the best defense against someone bent on raping or murdering you.
- You believe that the police responding to a 911 call shouldn’t have a gun either.
- You believe that nine unelected judges should have the ability to change the social compact our nation was founded on at will, according to their personal perceptions of what society wants or needs, and that this is in accordance with the principle of Government of the people, by the people and for the people.
- You believe it was wrong of Justice Moore to use his public office to block the legal removal of the ten commandments from the State Court House in Alabama, but you think its perfectly fine that Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco used his public office to grant illegal Gay Marriage licenses.
- You believe it is fine to disregard regulations for vote counting mandated by Florida State law in order to substitute a different, subjective procedure only in counties where the Democratic candidate has a Statistical advantage, but demand strict adherence to those same laws when it pertains military ballots that arrive without a proper postmark from a constituency that offers the Republican candidate a statistical advantage.

- You think that the phrase “separation of church and state” is in the Constitution.
- You think the First Amendment guarantees freedom from exposure to religious thoughts, ideas or images
- You think the atheism is a religious belief protected under the first amendment, but that imposing atheism via a ban on religious expression in public is okay because Atheism is not a religion.
- You believe that nativity scenes should be banned from public view, Prayer and religious materials should be banned from public schools, but that anyone objecting to pornography “only has to look the other way.”
- You think that Human Rights are legally guaranteed benefits that are provided to some at the expense of others via a system of Government slavery, and that is a good thing
- You want to outlaw cigarettes and legalize marijuana
- You think Joseph McCarthy was paranoid and threatened American freedoms, but that University speech codes and politically correct polices that assume guilt and require proof of innocence, like sexual harassment and discrimination, don’t .
- You see cartoons and articles condemning religions (except Islam) as protected under the 1st Amendment, but think the cartoon B.C. should be banned because of its occasional religious content.
- You believe that any negative opinion of a group (African Americans, Women, Homosexuals) is the result of ignorance and prejudice, and feel it is appropriate to be prejudiced against anyone who has such opinions
- You believe censorship of pornography, art or ideas is wrong except when religion, western culture or conservative ideas are being censored.
- you believe that the press would never lie to you, because a whistleblower would call them on it, but if someone says that the press is lying, they are a “right-wing nut.”
- You believe it was evil when Hitler gained political power by convincing Germans that their plight was the fault of the Jews, but applaud Jessie Jackson for doing the same thing with African Americans and Caucasians, and Obama with the rich and poor.
- You believe that standardized tests are racist because other races score better than African-Americans, but when African-Americans out-score other races in Professional Basketball you call it skill.

- You believe that the government should make a special effort to hire members of traditionally oppressed groups, such as African-Americans (except for Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice).
- You feel a deep sense of common cause with oppressed groups, such as Hispanic immigrants (except for Cuban Americans fleeing Castro).

- You think only white people can be racist and slavery only occurred in the United States

- You wear a red ribbon to show your support for a cure for AIDS but oppose all animal experimentation needed to find that cure

- You think that the only acceptable hate crimes are Male or Christian bashing.
- You think it takes a village to raise a child, but resent it when that village tries to set and enforce standards of behavior on you.

- You believe that immigrants to the United States are fooled by greedy capitalists into risking their lives crossing oceans and deserts only to become part of poverty-stricken , exploited masses, and they would be better off staying home, while simultaneously claiming the Illegal aliens who cross our boarder and broke our laws have ea right to do so because they are oppressed
- You believe Kwanzaa is an "African" holiday

- You think Anita Hill is a victim and a heroine fighting rampant sexual harassment, that that date rape pervasive, domestic violence is common and that Paula Jones is a lying bimbo.
- You think its sexual harassment when a CEO sleeps with an employee but think that Clinton receiving oral sex from an Intern is just fine.
- You get mad when rape victims' sexual history is plastered all over the news media, but think Paula Jones' sexual history "must be made public."

- You think Scientific theory is validated by the popularity of the theory and not by hard data and experiments

- You think marriage is obsolete and outdated, but feel it is urgent need for homosexuals.
- You think denying Same-Sex Marriage to homosexuals is a violation of their civil rights, because Heterosexuals can have same-sex marriages.
- Your idea of “family values” was sending Elian Gonzalez back to the a Cuban re-education camp, because his daddy is a prisoner there, too
- You think that a teenager's sexual behavior is uncontrollable, but hardened violent criminals should be released on parole after serving a cut sentence in a "correctional institution".
- If you believe that posting the "Ten Commandments" in schools will hurt the children, but teaching S&M practices in sexual education will not.
- You think streotyping makes "West Side Story" inappropriate material for High School, but the "Vagina Monologues" has a message every teenager should hear.
- You think that protecting a Public School Teacher’s job is more important than allowing poor parents a choice about where their child gets an education (just like rich people have)

- You believe that society, rather than the individuals involved, should decide how much to work for, when, where and how you will get medical attention or an education, who you can associate with, of what race and in what percentages, what is appropriate speech and if you can openly display a religious belief, but you don't consider yourself an advocate of totalitarianism

- You think Ralph Nader cares about consumers, Unions care about their members, the ACLU cares about civil liberties, the National Education Association cares about education, the People for the American Way care about the American way, and if the problems they purport to fight ceased to exist they would disband because they were no longer needed.

Quite.
Think you are wiser than everyone else and believe yourself to be an American but disagree with common sense, the Constitution and our Founding Principles,
Simply disagreeing doesn't cut it. You really have to point out their smug arrogance in their contradictory thinking. I am pretty sure I am going after the ones with that smirk on their face first.
