MDT TechÆ *** What it takes to be a modern day liberal democrat! *** You believe that the AIDS virus is spread by lack of funding; the school teacher who cant teach fourth graders how to read is qualified to teach your kids about sex; trial lawyers are selfless heroes and doctors are overpaid; you believe guns in the hands of law abiding Americans are more of a threat than nuclear weapons in the hands of the Red Chinese; global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the sun and more affected by SUV's; you believe business creates oppression and governments create prosperity; the military, not corrupt politicians start wars; there was no art before federal funding; the NRA is bad because it stands up for certain parts of the constitution, while the ACLU is good because it stands up for certain parts of the constitution; you believe Tubman, Chavez and Steinem are more important to American history than Jefferson, Washington and Edison; you believe conservatives are racist, yet think minorities couldn't make it without your help; you believe socialism hasn't worked yet because the right people haven't been in charge yet; self esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it; and finally, you are against capital punishment, but for abortion on demand, in short, you support protecting the guilty, while killing the innocent!
