Top 22 ways to tell if you are a regressive.

Are you really a conservative?  Not likely.  A regressive…well, here is how to tell:

Regressive:

  1. Tending to return or revert.
  2. Characterized by regression or a tendency to regress.

Or in other words, moving this country, and humanity, backwards instead of forward - and wanting to take the rest of us down with them!

So, how do you tell if you are a Regressive?  Here are 22 good ways:
1.  If it is 2008, and you are still proud to call yourself a conservative, you are a Regressive.

2.  If you think Ann Coulter is hot, you are a Regressive.

3.  If you pee your pants, or if your face turns red every time you hear someone whisper, “Muhammad” you are a Regressive.

4.  If you would gladly turn over your freedoms guaranteed by our constitution for a little “safety,” not only would you be a coward, you would be a Regressive.

5.  If you think it is manly to keep a gun on your hip like you’re Wyatt Earp or something, you would be a Regressive.

6.  If you think Jesus Christ would agree with your hatred of black people and gays, you would be a Regressive.

7.  If capital gains tax cuts are more important to you than education, health care, justice, falsifying CIA intelligence on White House letterhead about uranium in Niger, you are a Regressive.

8.  If you mispronounce the name of the country Niger, you are a Regressive.

9.  If you still believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim, not only would you be in fairyland, you would be a Regressive.

10.  If you believe that Jesus Christ gives a crap about whether or not December 21st through January 3rd is called Christmas Break or Winter Break, you would be a Regressive.

11.  If you believe that the government should be able to tell people who they can or can not love, you would be a Regressive.

12.  If you believe that the government should regulate whether or not a woman has to give birth when a sperm cell penetrates a vaginal egg, you would be a Regressive.

13.  If you believe that God has broken heaven in to different levels, one for Mexicans, one for Blacks, One for Chinese people, a really high level where you and 15 billion other white Americans who have lived from Adam and Eve until judgment day (2012) will be sitting at the right hand of the Lord himself, you would be a Regressive.

14.  If you still think Rush Limbaugh has any credibility left, you would be a Regressive.

15.  If you still believe that Fox News is fair and balanced, you would be a Regressive.

16.  If you believe that there are people out there actually breaking the law so that they can vacation at some imaginary Cook County Jail in Illinois, you would be a Regressive.

17.  If you still think that Extremist Wahhabi Muslim Osama Bin Laden was partnering with Sunni Iraqi Saddam Hussein, you would be a clueless dunce…and a Regressive.

18.  If you think building a fence to keep Mexicans from taking our “jobs” makes us any different that than third century B.C. Chinese people, you would be a Regressive.

19.  If you think that the Earth is only six thousand years old and that Jesus rode bareback on Tyrannosaurus Rex, you would be a Regressive.

20.  If you believe that progressive liberals somehow have no respect for tradition, you would be a Regressive.

21.  If you believe that fire is just a fad, you are a Regressive.

22.  If you have read this list and still plan to vote for John McCain in November, you would be a Regressive.

Stay tuned for more ways to tell if you are a Regressive.

The Christian Mother

I was raised a Christian.  Kind of.  My parents did not go to church very often, if at all.  My mother’s side of the family has roots in the Southern Baptist tradition, while my father’s side of the family attended a United Church of Christ for some time.  My only exposure to church before my pre-teen years was a few weddings and a couple of trips to sing Amazing Grace for my grandmother’s Baptist Church of Arnold.

If you have not tried to sing Amazing Grace to the Coca-Cola theme song of the 70s, you really ought to try it.  It’s special.

Since then, I have been inundated, as we all are with religion.  My favorite, if I had to chose, would still be Christianity.  Part of the draw for me is how different Jesus Christ appears to me when I read about the things he says and does compared to the Jesus Christ that the various dogmas of Christianity force feed their congregations.

For example, is this what Jesus Christ would do? (Warning!: Very Foul Language)  — If you ask me, it’s complete Hogwash!
