Step up and take the GOP-Reagan Purity Test!

[Clio the Leo]

First, read the resolution....
http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/NEWS/A_Politics/Reagan_First_Read.pdf

Then, match your political views against Michael Steele's handy dandy "am I white conservative enough to be in the GOP?" purity test.

(1) Smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill
(2) Market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run healthcare;
(3) Market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;
(4) Workers’ right to secret ballot by opposing card check
(5) Legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;
(6) Victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;
(7) Containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat
(8) Retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;
(9) Protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and
(10) The right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership

1. ...

(1) Smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill

TRANSLATION: Fuck the poor and those who don't have jobs. Social programs are for COMMIES. Herbert Hoover had the right idea! BOOTSTRAPS, MOTHERFUCKERS!

(2) Market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run healthcare;

TRANSLATION: Keep letting insurance companies fuck poor people in the corn chute.

(3) Market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;

TRANSLATION: Screw the environment, we're all getting raptured anyway

(4) Workers’ right to secret ballot by opposing card check

TRANSLATION: What the fuck does this even mean

(5) Legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;

TRANSLATION: No minorities should ever vote for us ever ever ever again

(6) Victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;

TRANSLATION: Let's keep bashing our head against this brick wall--surely that will make this pounding headache go away!

(7) Containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat

TRANSLATION: Let's coopt something them Demmycrats are already doing with diplomacy, but further stretch the military by using guns and bombs--that way we can blame them Demmycrats when it goes badly

(8) Retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;

TRANSLATION: Fuck all gay people and their "marriage", people like Mark Sanford and John Ensign and Larry Craig and David Vitter and Mark Foley and Ted Haggard and thrice-divorced Rushie the Fat and Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin's unwed, pregnant teenage daughter are what make marriage sacred

(9) Protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and

TRANSLATION: Fuck women's rights, they should all be barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. God, I wish it was 1950.

(10) The right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership

TRANSLATION: YER GUNNA TAKE MAH GUNZ (EVEN THOUGH NO DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT HAS EVER SERIOUSLY EVEN TRIED TO DO ANYTHING RESEMBLING THIS EVER AND IT'S A FAVORITE BOOGEYMAN THE RIGHT KEEPS USING TO WHIP THE RETARDS INTO LINE)?????!??!!?!?!

2. Isn't that something?

The ONLY thing they have to say about health care is "EEEEK! No rationing!!!! EEEEEK!"

and then they close it all off with a remark about guns ..... like it's a threat or something.

3. This Zombie Reagan agrees with you

[LeftishBrit]

4. Aren't (2) and (9) in contradiction?

Market-based health care reform and opposing Obama-style government-run healthcare

vs.

Protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care?

No one rations and denies health care so much as a market system if you happen to be poor and/or unprofitable to treat!

6. Their whole premise if flawed......

.... the second "whereas" in the resolution stated that Ronald Reagan welcomed diverse opinions and then they proceed to hold opinions contrary from their list, they're gonna cut you off.

Sometimes I think Steele may actually be MORE Bat-poop crazy than that Palin woman.

5. Noticably absent: "Supporting the troops with a draft"...

Nothing about imprisoning war profiteers and negligent contractors, either.

Color me surprised... :eyes:




I'm kinda surprised they haven't tossed the anti-ballistist-missile shield in there.
