Top 10 Reasons You Might Be A Liberal ... (Early Fall 2005 Edition)

Yes, folks, we're long overdue for an updated Fascifist Gramscian neo-Syndicalist dupe liberal spotting tutorial.

You might be a liberal if:

10) You can't remember that there was a war in Kosovo but if reminded you're sure it was sanctioned by the U.N...

9) You believe that we are still in the "quagmire" that you shouted gleefully about in Oct 2001 regarding Afghanistan and you still shout down anyone who dares suggest we have actually captured Kabul.

8) You believe that we should have stopped the Coast Guard and "military occupation" of NOLA and just sent Sean Penn and his red bailing cup in instead since he had ever so much better intentions.

7) You believe that the NOLA Superdome and Convention Center were filled with raped and dead blacks because "those people" just can't control themselves and need your help.

6) You believe everything you see on 60 Minutes.

5) You can't remember anything from ABC news in the late 90's.

4) You're surprised to learn that the Iraqi left is fighting against your "insurgent" heroes.

3) You've never actually read the text of Earle's indictment of Delay. And if you did you wouldn't notice anything at all surprising about it... (UPDATE: Watch for the movie!)

2) You believe that Planned Parenthood's (via ABCL) Margaret Sanger was a great woman that had the best of intentions.

1) You believe a global war with a U.S. military death rate approximately twice that of normal peacetime operations is indisputable proof of unsustainability and impending defeat.

And your rationales for the Schadenfreude that sustains your self esteem are -- as those with pulses may have noticed by oh, say, #6 at the latest -- just a tad short of being "reality based"...
