In
the wake of the polarization of the country, here is
a little something to help you decide who you are and
whom you are with.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE LIBERAL:

1. If you like Al Franken, Michael Moore, Eric Alterman
and, of course, Paul Krugman.
2. If you care about things like people's health care
and whether they have insurance to cover it.
3. If it does not bother you if people of the same sex
choose to get married or have a civil union — hey,
it's none of our business.
4. If you are bothered by the fact that we have uncovered
no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
5. If you hate the Patriot Act because it violates the
Constitution of the United States of America.
6. If you like it when Americans have jobs.
7. If you are bothered by Bush’s tax cut for the
wealthy.
8. If you are troubled by the war in Iraq because more
than 500 troops have died and huge contributors to the
Bush-Cheney campaign have gotten huge contracts in Iraq
(Halliburton, for example).
9. If you believe a woman's body is hers and she should
be able to decide what happens to it.
10. If you don't always agree with the other side, but
you hear the argument and then decide what's right and
what's wrong.
11. If you care about other people in the country even
if they can't help you.
12. If you're wrong and you can correct yourself.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE CONSERVATIVE:
1. If you worship Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Joseph
McCarthy and, of course, Sean Hannity.
2. If you watch Fox News — "We Report, We
Decide."
3. If you think the United States went to war because
there was a link between al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein.
4. If you think the government should be able to define
what marriage is. Why should gays and lesbians have
that right? They only live here.
5. If you support the Medicare bill that gave big pharmaceutical
companies no-bid contracts (again, most were Bush-Cheney
contributors).
6. If you hate Howard Dean because he knows when you
are wrong and actually says something about it.
7. If someone messes with us — "Nuke'em."
8. If things like health care and the welfare of others
are not high on your agenda.
9. If you think Canada is weird because they have universal
healthcare.
10. If you think liberals are communists.
11. If you think it is OK during the "liberation
of the Iraqi people" if a few thousand innocent
Iraqis die.
12. If you have tunnel vision.
