How to be a Liberal...

54warrior · 11-14-2007, 11:00 AM

This is sure to rile up some people:

How to be a Liberal:
1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.
3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. Nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists.
4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.
6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.
7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.
10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only.
12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, and A.G. Bell.
15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.
16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.
17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.
18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House.
19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.
20. You have to believe that illegal Democrat Party funding by the Chinese Government is somehow in the best interest to the United States.
21. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.
22. You have to believe that it's okay to give Federal workers the day off on Christmas Day ..........but it's not okay to say "Merry Christmas."

Wow... How true it is... you just have to add, that you want to vote for hilliary because she is a woman.

Amen... wait, can I say that in public or was that just a prayer/my religion I forced others to read? Sorry to anyone I just offended... let me write a check to you for your anguish, we can settle out of court, right?

BB, what are those buildings in your avatar?

**Blackbeauty** · 11-15-2007, 06:37 AM

They are the Saylor Kilns. They were the first vertical cement kilns in America. A lot of the cement that went into the Empire State Building and MANY other widely known structures of the time came from these kilns. I live a few miles from them and actually rented an apartment in a building right behind them. Nice park there and an IRT walking trail. That's one of the Rails-to-Trails projects where they convert old railroad lines to running/biking/walking trails.

Here's the website:

How far is this from Lancaster, might make for a good roadtrip in the sprigtime.

**Blackbeauty** · 11-15-2007, 06:58 AM

It's just north of Allentown. I'd say it's about 70-75 miles from Lancaster. Sadly, what you see in the pics is about it. It may be good for a 30-45 minute stop to check it out, but there really isn't much there. They are fenced off so you can't go in them. You'll spend most of your time reading the half dozen placards and looking at the girls going by on their bikes.

It's not a bad stopover if you're in the area for something else, but to come here for just that, you may be a bit disappointed...

Sure can't say I disagree with any. I'm also going too copy and send it on. I have a few friend I like too screw with whenever I get the chance.
