Democratic idea of guiding principles

I frequently read some of the loony left blogs and websites. Good to keep up on what the other side is thinking - if you can call it that. I came across the following list of proposed 'litmus test' principles some guy proposed for Democrats.

Allow me to share - with a few comments of my own...

(1) We support the rights extended to Americans extended under the Constitution. All the rights. For all Americans. Except the following rights:

• the right to keep your own money without it being hijacked by an ever growing Federal Government
• The right to decide what kind of health insurance, if any, you want
  
• The right to freely protest your government without being call a 'tea-bagger', 'Nazi', 'evil-monger', 'un-American', or a 'dupe of the big insurance companies'
  
• The right to possess, carry, and use firearms in self-defense without some onerous process outlined by ass-clowns in Washington or state capitals
  
• The right to point out that making all kinds of allowances to other religions, while taking Christians into court (for having a Bible in school, or putting up a cross in some city park), seems somehow lacking in balance.

(2) We support thoughtful, pragmatic solutions that protect American lives, American standards, and American pocketbooks. This includes finding solutions that don't require bombing anyone. Neville Chamberlain, call your office. For those of you that have never heard of Chamberlain - he was the appeaser in chief leading up to WWII. He went to visit Hitler and tried the diplomacy route - just like Obama is hoping will work. The resulting Nazi takeover of Poland, and the resulting war, makes you ask, 'yah, how did that work out for you?'

(3) We support an America that has diversity in race, thought, background, and religion not out of some hazy idealism, but because it is our nation's greatest strength. Even if this means blatant discrimination against White males who had zero to do with any form of bias. Yah, screw them.

(4) We oppose torture in any form, in any place, at any time, for any reason. And we think pouring water on a guys face, or making him wear women's panties, or playing naked twister, or putting bugs in the cells of people who are trying to KILL Americans -- now, THAT is torture.

(5) We support American business, and recognize that an unregulated market is an unfair market, an unstable market, and a market doomed to failure. And we think that we are smart enough to regulate every aspect of the market. We know that this has failed wherever it has been tried - but that was before WE arrived on the scene.

(6) We support American workers, and know that when workers are allowed to organize they make their jobs, their companies, and their nation stronger. Even if this means abolishing the secret ballot in union organizing elections so that union thugs can intimidate people into 'supporting' unionization at their workplace. The 'freedom' to organize is that important.

(7) We believe that the reputation of our nation is valuable and must be zealously guarded against those who place expediency ahead of law.And we include in this bringing terrorists captured abroad to New York to give them civilian trials, just like any other 'criminal'. Since we hate the military, the idea of military trials is abhorrent to us. We know that this has never been done in the history of the world, but again, that was before WE arrived on the scene.

(8) We believe in spreading democracy and human rights to the rest of the world by vigorously upholding those ideals here at home. This is such a meaningless statement, it deserves no response

(9) We believe that access to our government is not for sale. Not in the courthouse, not in the White House, and not in the legislature. Except if it means keeping ex-lobbyists out of the Obama government. We think it is ok for him to grant hundreds of 'waivers' to his 'no lobbyists' rule. After all, you can't dick over all those guys who did fund-raising for the Messiah, right?.

(10) We believe that the health of our planet is not a zero-sum game, not a game of "you go first," and not a game.That is why we choose to ignore Climategate that has exposed blatant FRAUD in the so-called science of 'climate change'. You won't see us upset about thousands of e-mails showing the hiding or destruction of data, the manipulation of results, the conspiring to avoid public release of our data, or the conspiracy to silence the critics of Man Made global warming. Maintaining the HOAX is too important for things like honesty and transparency to stand in the way.

Folks - these are the people we are dealing with. They speak in platitudes (and in Obama's case, soaring rhetoric), but they are intellectually bankrupt. When reality collides with their well tailored theories, it is reality that must bend or break.

Continue vigilance, and don't let em fool you.
