21 Steps to  Becoming a Good Democrat

Virtually anyone can be a Democrat. Just simply quit thinking and vote that way. If you  want to be a GOOD Democrat, however, the following are prerequisites are a must:

1 You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of Federal funding.

2. You have to believe that the same school system that can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow the best qualified to teach those same kids all about sex.

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 North Korea or Iran.

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 yuppies driving SUVs'!

6. You have to believe that  gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.

8. You  have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create  prosperity.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do.

10 You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.

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, General Robert E. Lee or Thomas  Edison.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.

16. You have to believe Hillary Clinton is all about "progress" and not power. But just wants to help us out of the archaic system of governing we've been subject to.

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 Republicans telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belongs in the White House and you would vote him back in there in a New York minute (if you could).

19. You have to believe that  homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be constitutionally protected but manger scenes at Christmas should be  illegal.

20. You have to believe that  illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.

21. You have to believe that the vociferous minorities who protest against prayer and saluting the flag in school have far more rights than the majority who believe in God and country and want these values to be instilled in our young  children.

If you are locked in solidly to most of these beliefs -- you're gonna be a big asset to John  Kerry
