• You might be a Liberal or Conservative Fanatic If...

  In the tradition of Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a redneck if ..."

  (all commentary belongs the original author ... but you can bet I smiled at a lot of it!)

   

  YOU KNOW YOU’RE A LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE FANATIC IF …

  … You actually think people who mindlessly agree with your political views are “the good guys” and all the people who don’t are “the bad guys.”
  

  … You’ve deluded yourself into thinking that any facts that don’t fit your political prejudices are  propoganda spread by Fox News Channel and talk radio (Liberal fanatics) or spread by the Liberal media (Conservative fanatics) .

  … You avoid any and all exposure to news outlets that challenge your preconceived notions. Sorry, fanatics, but the rest of us are fully aware that both Liberal outlets and Conservative outlets slant their coverage so you need to weigh both sides.

  … You think the hopelessly corrupt, divisive and inept Barack Obama is a wonderful president (Liberal fanatics) or a Muslim sleeper agent (Conservative fanatics) .

  … Your first response to all dissenting views is to label them either (yawn) racist or unpatriotic.

  … You lie and claim you speak on behalf of all African Americans and all women (Liberal fanatics) or that you speak on behalf of all “decent Americans” (Conservative fanatics) .

  … You froth at the mouth with hatred whenever you hear the name of either Sarah Palin or Hillary Clinton.
  

  … You only ever vote for candidates from one political party.
  

  … You’re simple-minded enough to believe that everybody must be EITHER a Liberal OR a Conservative instead of being fully- rounded human beings.

  … Just because you hold one or two opinions that are generally considered liberal/ conservative you FORCE yourself to unquestioningly embrace all the other views that are generally considered liberal/ conservative. (I call these fanatics the “My side of the political spectrum right or wrong!” fanatics.)
