32. You recall that they put the words “Don’t Tread on Me” on the flag, not in a constitutional amendment. You believe that Freedom of Speech means freedom for others to speak things you do not like.

33. You don’t understand why resources would be diverted from the hunt for Osama into conquering Iraq without finding Osama first.

34. You don’t understand why if it was necessary to invade Axis of Evil countries that the ones which admitted having nuclear weapons weren’t invaded first.

35. You are embarrassed that a secular country like Iraq is being converted into a fundamentalist Shitte country which will almost certainly tilt toward Iran.

36. You don’t understand why the ports and cargo containers are still not protected and inspected against terrorist tactics this long after 9/11.

37. You have to buy prescription medicine or cannot get health insurance.


38. You pay utility bills and still drive a gas powered engine. You wouldn’t mind paying $3.00 a gallon for gas if the increase in price was going to develop alternative sources of energy rather than being diverted to oil producing countries that hate us.

39. You think it borders on foolhardiness to insist we continue burning petroleum when it is obviously a finite resources leaving us at the mercy of those with oil.

40. You want accredited scientists making determinations on scientific merit rather than letting political appointees make determinations on whim or ideology. The attack on science and refusal to use science data unless it conforms ideological assumptions strikes you as stupid.

41. The refusal to even allow condoms or other forms of birth control for those who want to prevent unwanted pregnancies strikes you as a good argument for abortion of politicians after they get into office.

42. You honor your written word and believe others should too, including treaties we have signed. You don’t understand how we can expect others to honor commitments if we don’t show a good example.
43. You don't like bullies and hate torturers. You believe they belong in jail cells instead running the jails.

44. You would like to be able to trust the food you eat, the liquids you drink and the air you breathe. The idea of having inspectors and regulations to protect them was and is comforting.

45. You believe that the passenger rail system deserved to be saved particularly in a time of skyrocketing gas prices.

46. You believe laws should be obeyed and the regulators entrusted to enforce such laws should be well staffed, well financed, well trained and politically neutral.

47. You do not believe the words consensus, cooperation, compromise, conciliation and common sense should be curse words.

48. You believe that the impeachment standards applied to Clinton ought to apply to all Presidents, not just those of the other party.

It's probably obvious I'm a CYNICAL PESSIMIST. Why a cynical pessimist? Possibly it's the result of expending a full lifetime defending, first with rifle in hand and then with a legal pad, "truth, justice and the American Way." Observing the less (more...)
