I know it's hard to believe but...

By Edward Daley

There are some people in the United States of America who think that George W. Bush orchestrated the atrocities of 09/11/01...

and that Democrats are more responsible with our tax dollars than Republicans...

and that Rosie O'Donnell is a patriot...

and that suspected terrorists captured during armed conflict in a foreign country deserve the same habeas corpus rights as domestic criminal suspects...

and that tax increases actually promote economic growth...

and that spanking a child equates to abuse, but having sex with one doesn't...

and that the "mainstream" media is politically unbiased...

and that our country is an imperialist nation...

and that public education is generally superior to private education...

and that Israel is an aggressor nation, but Saddam Hussein's regime was completely innocent...

and that Islamic terrorists are really freedom fighters...

and that the United Nations is genuinely concerned with world peace...

and that racial intolerance is more common in this country today than it has ever been before...

and that Al Gore's movie 'An Inconvenient Truth' is an accurate, scientific depiction of global climatological trends...

and that worshiping God is a more objectionable practice than sodomy...

and that Marxism is a viable socio-political — and even economic — ideology...

and that Bill Clinton was impeached for having an affair...

and that the federal government is the benefactor of our individual rights...

and that calling a wealthy, left-wing, Hollywood actor a 'Limousine Liberal' is hateful, but calling a conservative black person an 'Uncle Tom' isn't...

and that cutting down trees is more egregious than piercing the heart or brain of an unborn baby with a sharp metal object.

Considering the wholly preposterous nature of these opinions, one has to wonder how many of the folks who've adopted them watch ABC's 'The View' on a regular basis.
