You know you're a conservative when...
You think universal healthcare would be a waste, but you think pouring unlimited money into contractor's piggy banks in Iraq is worth it.

You think high numbers of poor people and minorities voting could mean that there is voting fraud going on, but you see no problem with partisan Republicans like Katherine Harris and Ken Blackwell being both the heads of committees to elect Bush AND being able to certify the vote too.

You think there was a conspiracy behind everything Clinton did when he was President, but you think Cheney was just looking out for our best interests when he refused to say who was consulting with him on his secretive energy task force.

You think that people who question McCain's military service are traitors, but you think that people who question Kerry's military service are cool.

You think the people who have questions about 9/11 are kooks, but you agree with people who say that Saddam might have had a hand in the attacks.

You think that Iraqis want to be free, but Saudis want to live in a regime where rape victims are punished and religious "police" terrorize people out on the streets.

You think that "persecution" means you can't force your views down anyone's throat, then you call for separate lines for Muslims at airports and total surveillance of all Muslims as well, and that's NOT persecution, according to you anyway.

You see no problem with corporate welfare, but think that social programs (Which takes up one third of the budget that corporate welfare does) needs to be either eliminated or 'reformed' so badly that it might as well be eliminated.

You think that the "common people" have no right to privacy, that the government should have unfettered access to medical records and should be able to wiretap on command, but Bush's usage of "executive privilege" should never be questioned.

You think that conservative leaders making foreign policy blunders, like supporting Saddam, supporting the Contras, supporting Pinochet, supporting the CNMI with their forced abortions and slavery will NEVER make blunders like those again.

You think that conservative leaders are looking out for you and are really interested in you and your family's safety, welfare, and prosperity.
