You Know You're A Moonbat If...

Personally, I dislike the "moonbat" moniker, but it's out there and in use. In any case, I know there have been other lists like this from time to time in the blogosphere, but here's my own contribution to the cause. You know you're a moonbat if...

1. 1. Your main debating points with the opposing side include the claim that your First Amendment rights are being violated; you call the other person's intellectual faculties into question and you constantly cry that your patriotism is being questioned.
2. When it comes to drug use or alcoholism it's a personal matter that deserves sensitivity during the struggle and praise in the case of recovery--except when conservatives like Rush Limbaugh or George W. Bush are being discussed.
3. You think corporations are bad (except the one you work for).
4. Wealthy conservatives are to be despised for gaining their riches by grinding the faces of the poor, but wealthy liberals are to be commended for rising above the difficult circumstances of their youth. In the case of inherited wealth, conservatives who inherit are again to be despised for having been born with the proverbial silver spoon, while liberals who inherit are simply regular people who happen to have trust funds.
5. You think the rights of the criminal are more important than those of the victim.
6. Our soldiers should be used exclusively for humanitarian aid missions, not to defend the country.
7. You think military funding is a no-no unless it's funding for veterans' programs due to their high PR value.
8. You think religion has no place in modern public life unless it's a trendy or PC-approved one such as Scientology, Kabbalah, Buddhism and Islam.
9. You think government programs automatically trump hard work and self-reliance.
10. You wish the U.N. was in charge of the U.S.
11. You believe the courts make law, rather than uphold the laws that Congress makes.
12. You never met a tax you didn't like.
13. You care more about the opinion of Europe than the opinion of your neighbor down the street.
14. Calling those who don't agree with your world view "brainwashed" is a common occurrence.
15. You think "celebrating our differences" is more important than "celebrating our similarities." Strength through diversity, not strength through common interest, is your mantra.
