  Jonah Goldberg couldn't possibly be a fascist and a supporter of fascism. Therefore, everybody else must be. And he's got an elaborate tissue of deceptions, misrepresentations, and outright lies to prove it.

  It's like the crook who claims that he didn't knock over that liquor store. It was actually the jury that convicted him that did it.

  Similarly, all of Bush's deficiencies are really Clinton's fault. And Bush didn't weasel his way into the conquest of Iraq - those libruls forced him to do it. All those victims at Abu Ghraib tortured themselves just to make their captors look bad. Blackwater didn't commit all those atrocities in Iraq - it was those war protesters back home who murdered and maimed all those Iraqis.

  Black is white. Night is day. Everything you know is wrong. Jesus meant the exact opposite of everything he said. War is peace. Slavery is freedom. Ignorance is strength.

  Yes, we see how this works:

  "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State."
  
  - Josef Goebbels

  Things you have to believe to be a good Republican.

  1. You have to believe that the AIDS virus will just go away if you ignore it.

  2. You have to believe that it's better for children to learn sexual education from their 4th grade peers than from an adult.

  3. You have to believe that the weapons actually killing Americans are less dangerous than the ones we simply make up.

  4. You have to believe that art is anti-social and immoral.

  5. You have to believe that putting billions of tons of Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year for decades on end won't have any adverse effect on the environment and that anybody who thinks otherwise is a traitor.

  6. You have to believe that, even though homosexuality and marijuana exist in nature they are somehow unnatural.

  7. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

  8. You have to believe that corporations always have the public's best interest in mind.

  9. You have to believe that environmental activists are loony.

  10. You have to believe that starting wars all over the globe is good for self-esteem.

  11. You have to believe that corrupt politicians aren't really corrupt at all, just the "few bad apples" who carry out their sick agenda.

  12. You have to believe that the NRA is good because it supports one part of the Constitution, while the ACLU is bad because it supports all of the rest.

  13. You have to believe that taxes are too high, but spending should be higher.

  14. You have to believe that American history did not exist before George Bush in 2000.

  15. You have to believe that racial quotas are keeping the poor white man out of power.

  16. You have to believe that the hate seething out of Ann Coulter is really because she cares about the country.

  17. You have to believe that might makes right. No matter what.

  18. You have to believe that liberals who tell the truth belong in jail, but a liar and treasonous wretch belongs in the Whitehouse.

  19. You have to believe that homosexual parades would make a good shooting range, happiness and choice should be banned by the Constitution and that Religion is so weak on it's own that it needs to be sanctioned by the Government.

  20. You have to believe that someone who believes that torture is legal would make a good lawyer for the Nation.

  21. You can say "God" often, but never truly seek or follow him.

  21. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

  22. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him, and a bad guy when Bush needed a "I can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

  23. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to the spirit of international harmony.

  24. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing UN resolutions against Iraq.

  25. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

  26. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches, while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

  27. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money

  28. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy, but providing health care to all Americans is socialism. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.

  29. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.

  30. A president lying about an extramarital affair is a impeachable offense, but a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.

  31. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages, censoring the Internet, and utilizing illegal wiretaps on its citizenry.

  32. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business.

  33. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

  34. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

  35. Bush is never, ever wrong about anything. Or else
