You May Be A Democrat If.............

[TruthSeeker56]

You may be a LEFT WINGNUT DEMOCRAT if..............

1. You believe that HYPOCRISY is a virtue.

2. You believe that "freedom of speech" applies ONLY to people that agree with your opinions and agendas.

3. Your sources of "objective" political commentary are Chris Mathews, Rachel Maddow, Jon Stewart, NPR, the alphabet TV networks, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and left wing internet sites like the Huffington Post.

4. You are in favor of feeding, clothing, sheltering, providing health care, and educating people from other countries who have violated federal law by entering the United States illegally, while denying these same services to U.S. citizens who are in need.

5. When you are backed into a corner, you respond by playing the "race card", the "gay rights card", the "reproductive rights card", the "economic equality card", the "equality of results" card, the "big business card", the "guns kill people card", and all of the other cards in your deck.

6. You believe that the federal government magically creates private sector jobs.

7. You are convinced that "Cash For Clunkers", HARP, Obamacare, and loaning billions of taxpayer dollars to startup "green energy companies" who proceeded to go bankrupt, were all great ideas.

8. Issues that were "battle cries" for you when Bush was President (Gitmo, middle east conflicts, gas prices, government debt, budget deficits, etc.) are not longer on your radar, even though these issues are still there after 5+ years of Obama.

9. You are OK with Obama and his family spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on extravagant "vacations" and overseas "trips", but you lost your mind whenever President Bush went HOME to his Texas ranch for a break.

10. You don't have a problem with Democrat scandals, such as Gary Condit, Eliot Spitzer, Jim Mc Greevey, Barney Frank, Alcee Hastings, Marion Barry, Gerry Studds, Jack Murtha, Gary Hart, William Jefferson, Sandy Berger, etc., but you blow a gasket when a rancher in Texas allows his cattle to graze on "federal" land, and then makes what you consider to be "racist" statements.

11. You categorize the "termination" of an unborn baby as "reproductive rights".

12. You categorize gay marriage, gay couple adoption, and other special provisions relating to your sexual lifestyle, as "gay rights".

13. You believe that the events of September 11th were an "inside job", created by President Bush, to avenge the attempted assassination of his father during his father's Presidency.

14. You in no way consider yourself to be a "racist", but you voted for Barack Obama because he is black (well, HALF-black).

15. You believe that people who have personal financial success should be PUNISHED, and people who are unmotivated, lazy, and have no incentive to be successful should be REWARDED.

16. You believe that inanimate objects are capable of killing people.

17. You are convinced that if anti-gun laws are passed, violent criminals will line up to surrender their firearms to the proper authorities.

18. You believe that a family can defend themselves from criminals brandishing firearms by simply TALKING to the criminals, or by calling 9-1-1, or by brandishing steak knives.

19. You believe that the U.S. Constitution and the Bill Of Rights are subject to change and broad interpretations, because the founding fathers really didn't "get it".

20. You are able to draw a parallel between terminating the life of an unborn baby, and terminating the life of a murderer, and use this parallel as an argument against capital punishment.

Sounds just like the GOP, but they like to twist and hide from their voting base with lies and misconceptions..


There are gays in the GOP,

they are called the Log Cabiners,

There are atheist in the GOP,

There are pro-choice PACs with GOP members as the head..

For every constituency in the democratic party, there is the same in the GOP..

Only a fool would refuse to notice it.

So many fallacies and half truths I don't know where to begin...

9. You are OK with Obama and his family spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on extravagant "vacations" and overseas "trips", but you lost your mind whenever President Bush went HOME to his Texas ranch for a break.

The Obama's have to pay for their own expenses when on vacation, as per Treasury regs.. I didn't give a damn about what Bush did on his own time, and he gave me the same consideration..

I can always tell when I have hit several HOME RUNS to deep centerfield, off of the leftist pitchers.

Their only response is to make excuses, do some tap-dancing, and revert to their "plausible deniability" protocol.

I've got Moonglow tripping all over himself. Be careful now. Don't hurt yourself!

Just the facts, Maam, none of your trolling will be accepted...

. Often, a trip involves both official and political, or unofficial, activities. When
a trip is for an official function, the government pays all costs, including per diem (food and
lodging), car rentals, and other incidental expenses. When a trip is for political or unofficial
purposes, those involved must pay for their own food and lodging and other related expenses, and
they must also reimburse the government with the equivalent of the airfare that they would have
paid had they used a commercial airline.

You wouldn't know a FACT if it were sitting on your shoulder, eating a ham sandwich.

With approximately one-third of congressional committees preoccupied with investigating Obama corruption – from Benghazi-gate, to the IRS scandal, to Obamacare propaganda – the First Family might be tempted to escape to some far away location for vacation.

As Judicial Watch knows all too well, this is something the Obamas have done with some frequency since taking office in 2009, and largely on the taxpayers’ dime. JW has been the leading investigative force on the Obama’s taxpayer-funded luxury trips, using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to get ahold of records about the costs of this abuse of the perks of the presidency.

Our feeling is that, especially considering the massive budget crisis in Washington, the president must be completely transparent to the American people regarding the cost of these vacations. Instead, however, all we’ve received is more stonewalling. The pattern, by now, should be familiar to you. We file a FOIA. The Obama administration ignores it. We sue to get the records. And often we are successful.

JW was back at it again on May 6, when we were forced to file a FOIA lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the U.S. Secret Service in order to obtain records concerning use of U.S. government funds to provide “security and/or any other services to President Obama and any companions on their January 1 and 2, 2013, trip to Honolulu, Hawaii.”

On January 2, 2013, Judicial Watch filed its original FOIA request about taxpayer funds used to pay for President Obama and his entourage to travel to Hawaii, seeking access to: All records concerning use of U.S. Government funds to provide security and/or other services to President Obama and any companions on their January 1 and 2, 2013 trip to Honolulu, Hawaii.

Per usual, we are getting the runaround. By a letter dated January 31, 2013, the Secret Service acknowledged that they received the request. By law the agency was required to determine whether to comply with the FOIA request within 20 days and provide Judicial Watch with the requisite notifications by February 11, 2013 at the latest. But as of May 6, the Secret Service had yet to produce a single record.

Veteran White House reporter Keith Koffler provided the public with important information about these Hawaiian trips when he wrote on January 4, 2013, that the “total cost to taxpayers of Obama’s vacations to Hawaii since becoming president is likely in excess of $20 million, and possibly much, much more.” Evidently, this is based on estimates for the trips taken by the Obama family during the Christmas holiday season in four consecutive years.

“According to a detailed breakdown by the Hawaii Reporter, the annual excursions in 2009, 2010, and 2011 cost about $4 million, much of it attributable to the expense of taking Air Force One, at an hourly rate of about $180,000, on an eighteen-hour roundtrip journey to Honolulu and back,” Koffler writes.

These trips to Hawaii are just one example of the Obamas jet-setting lifestyle. According to records obtained by Judicial Watch, First Family vacations since Obama took office have come at great costs to taxpayers. Those costs have included:


•In August 2010, when Michelle Obama traveled to Spain with multiple friends and one of her daughters, the total cost to taxpayers was at least $467,555.


•From June 21 – 27, 2011, when Michelle Obama along with her daughters and staff traveled to South Africa and Botswana, charges to the taxpayers for the aircraft and crew alone were $424,142.


•During President’s Day weekend of February 2012, when Michelle Obama and her two daughters vacationed in Aspen, Colorado, charges to the taxpayers were $83,182.99.

What is funny is you think it's a Democracy thing and have no clue what Democracy actually is.

But I'm fully aware that you want to point a finger. Welcome to America today. For future reference, the people are the Democracy. Not Obama lol.
