You have to believe that:

1. Capital punishment is bad, abortion on demand is good.

2. Businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

3. Guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists.

4. There was no art before federal funding.

5. Global temperatures are less affected by cyclical changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUVs.

6. Gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.

7. The AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

8. The same teacher who can't teach 4th-graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

9. Hunters don't care about nature, but PETA activists do.

10. Self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion Of The Christ for financial gain only.

12. 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. Taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.

15. Standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16. The only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

17. Homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

18. This message is a part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy.
