Today in America there are very few things that liberals and conservatives can agree on including the follow:
1. Al Gore lost the 2000 presidential election (just as Kerry did).
2. The Iraq War was a huge miscalculation and a mistake.
3. Capturing Ben Laden is all but meaningless in a global war on terror (it will change nothing), Islamic terror pre-dates Ben Laden and will be with us long after his death.
4. John Kerry and company are nothing more than elitists, paternalistic, racist grandstanding do-nothings (any minority who supports the modern Democratic party is little more than a house slave bound to the plantation just as those slaves who remained loyal to the master).
5. Donald Rumsfeld’s micromanagement of the Iraq war has turned a bad idea into a horrible one.
6. The Iraq war had nothing to do with oil, but it was no less misguided.
7. The federal government has no business passing amendments on gay marriage or flag burning or English only provision. Either this is a federalist system or it isn’t.
8. Conservatives and liberals alike secretly applauded the Kelo (eminent domain decision) decision recently handed down by the Supreme Court. Conservatives heralded an opportunity to hand over land to the wealthy developers and financial contributors, while liberals scoff at the notion of private property in the first place and welcome any chase to raise tax revenue.
9. The war on terror has been used as justification to erode our civil liberties, though illegal combatants are not nor should they be afforded the same constitutional guarantees as US citizens.
10. Requiring voters to show a valid photo id is not racist, nor does it discriminate against any minority group or socio-economic class.
11. Liberals support illegal immigration because it provides a base of new voters which allow them to maintain their positions of power.
12. English only laws are racist.
13. The best weapon in the war on poverty is a condom.
14. No one can raise a family on minimum wage, nor should one try to do so.
15. Sex offender registries are a waste of time, if these people are still dangers to society then they should remain in jail and if they aren’t then leave them alone.
16. Only an atheist can support the death penalty.
17. A child age 16 is too young to drive a car.
More to come…
