You might be a conservative if…

1: You’re irate over the president taking so many vacation days on the taxpayer’s dime (61 thus far), but you thought George W. Bush earned every minute of his leisure time (196 days at the same point in his presidency).

2: You’re happy with your 40 hour work week, paid vacations and company-provided healthcare, but you’re strongly anti-union, because those commies haven’t done anything for you lately.

3: You strongly support the First Amendment and it’s guarantee of religious freedom to all, but you don’t think Muslims have a right to build an Islamic Community Center in Manhattan.

4: You believe Ronald Reagan was a devout Christian, even though he hated going to church, but any president who spends twenty years going to the same Trinity United Church in Chicago must be a Muslim.

5: You believe when a Republican governor creates a healthcare package with an individual mandate for everyone in his state, that’s a good idea. But when a Democratic president does it, suddenly it’s unconstitutional.

6: You’re so enthused about demonstrating your Second Amendment rights, you can think of no finer place to brandish your pistol in public than at a presidential rally.

7: You believe Bill Clinton was responsible for Osama bin Laden’s escape ten years ago, but thankfully George W. Bush caught up with him and killed him in Pakistan.

8: You believe in putting American jobs first, except when president Obama rescued 1.5 million GM and Chrysler autoworkers, because that was socialism.

9: It angers you that you can’t communicate with the Mexican busboy at your local Olive Garden, but when you took a vacation to San Francisco’s Chinatown, you thought it’s quaint that so many Chinese-Americans are holding fast to their traditional language. Because that’s America!

10: You deny that the lunatic who tried to murder Gaby Giffords was a conservative, even though he targeted a Jewish, pro-choice, pro gay rights, Democratic Congresswoman.

11: You thought it was perfectly normal that every president in history had an untethered right to raise the debt ceiling when warranted, but when Obama asked the GOP held congress to do it, you thought it only natural that it be tied to cutting Social Security and Medicare.

Oh my god, ALL OF THIS

yeah, look, I can see where people would have legit issues with the president. But when he’s done more in four years than the last guy you elected did in 8, kindly fuck off.

I know why I voted for him. I am glad that I did. I feel he was the best choice and still do. There are things that I wish he’d already attended to, but those are small compared to the monstrously HUGE changes he’s been able to make for the better.

I reference wtfhasobamadonesofar.com as multiple examples

Though I’m still irritated when people go MORE JOBS MORE JOBS but don’t want to invest the money, but are okay with still sending soldiers off to war. We need transparency in our government and he is giving us this.

do you not realize how absolutely huge that is?

he is standing up for human rights everywhere, putting into effect legislation that gives same-sex partners of federal employees benefits, and so forth.

He’s actually a pretty decent human being. I’m sorry that he doesn’t want to destroy the environment just to protect industry interests. I’m sorry that he came from a pretty humble background and wants to make his country a better place.

Do you not understand how huge it is that he, a person of color and not only that but being multiracial, what that means to young folks? How much of an inspiration that is? That politics may not be a game just for the rich white male?
