You might be a Republican if
You've tried to argue that poverty could be abolished if people were allowed to keep more of their minimum wage.

You've ever referred to someone as "my (insert racial or ethnic minority here) friend."

You're a pro-lifer, but support the death penalty.

You've ever referred to the moral fiber of something.

You've ever uttered the phrase, "Why don't we just bomb the sons of bitches."

You've ever called a secretary or waitress "Honey."

You don't think "The Simpsons" is all that funny, but you watch it because that Flanders fellow makes a lot of sense.

You don't let your kids watch Sesame Street because you accuse Bert and Ernie of "sexual deviance."

You use any of these terms to describe your wife: Old ball and chain, little woman, old lady, tax credit...

You scream "Dit-dit-ditto" while making love.

You've argued that art has a "moral foundation set in Western values."

You think Birkenstock was that radical rock concert in 1969.

You argue that you need 300 handguns, in case a bear ever attacks your home.

Vietnam makes a lot of sense to you.

You point to Hootie and the Blowfish as evidence of the end of racism in America.

You've ever said, "Clean air? Looks clean to me."

You've ever referred to Anita Hill as a "lying bitch" while attending a Bob Packwood fund-raiser.

You spent MLK Day reading "The Bell Curve."

You've ever called education a luxury.

You look down through a glass ceiling and chuckle.

You wonder if donations to the Pentagon are tax-deductable.

You own a vehicle with an "Ollie North: American Hero" sticker.

You're afraid of the "liberal media."

You ever based an argument on the phrase, "Well, tradition dictates...."

You think all artists are gay.

You ever told a child that Oscar the Grouch "lives in a trash can because he is lazy and doesn't want to contribute to society."

You always say "Must be that damn global warming" when it's cold outside.

I love this one by the way: You spent MLK Day reading "The Bell Curve."

2. How much of a Republican is my father....
Well...I'm not sure of "You scream "Dit-dit-ditto" while making love" (I can ask my step-mom lol gross) but everything else applies to him. He often says the "clean air, looks clean to me" bit too and it's really annoying.

11. haha I know what you mean man
I grew up in the rural mountains of Western PA and we have a lot of gun-toting racist rednecks who would give their first-born for Bush and Santorum.

And redneck has a negative connototion to me. You can be a "country boy" without being a "redneck".

7. Dude, I have a Chrysler Sebring Convertible and a Dodge Stratus
Not because I'm a Repug but because the cousin who raised me was a solid UAW member and built these cars for almost 30 years.

Call it family values.

10. Nothing wrong with that man
my point was that people don't realize that the Detroit trifecta are actually multinationals and almost all the parts come from Asia.

Most popular "foreign" cars like Toyota, Honda, VW, etc. are just as American as "American" cars because they were assembled in the US from Asian parts.

13. If you think an immigrant stole your job...
If you've called another American a "traitor" because he/she hates Bush...

If you think Ashcroft is a good Christian man...

If you have no qualms about dropping a nuke or two...

If you think its your god-given duty to dictate other people's personal lives...

If you enjoy your tax cut and think nothing about your tax dollars going straight into Cheney's pocket...

If you're looking forward to renovating another country by election time...

If you regularly use terms like "towel-head", "wetback", "monkey", etc. to describe people...

If you don't know the meaning of the word fascism...you might be a Republican.

You find the said Daniels book (ain't no rag) to be intellectually stimulating.

If you believe Jesus only turned his cheek when he was reloading.

On 9-11 you prayed another plane would hit the UN building in New York.

You own a copy of Rush's home sex tapes.

You find Michael Savage to be a moderate.

You think bombing Canada is not a bad idea.

You think Democrats are far left Bolsheviks.

You have an unhealthy obsession with Bill Clinton, and believe Hillary is the anti-christ
