1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are
more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands
of Iran or Chinese and North Korean communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by
cyclical changes in the earth's climate and more affected by
soccer moms driving SUV's.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-graders
how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

9. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually
doing something to earn it.

10. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money
to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only.

11. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of
the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports
certain parts of the Constitution.

12. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

13. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more
important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.

14. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

15. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked
anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

16. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag queens and
transvestites should be constitutionally protected, and manger
scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

Two of your three historical figures were slaveholders. One of the three waged war against his own country.
 
Bob,

I stand by my list. Who's more important to learn about?
My father's father and wife are buried on the Lee/Custis land in Arlington National. My family is from Northern Virginia. My wife's family is from northeastern Tennessee, which was divided by The War Between The States. Standing on his property, looking down the mall past the Potomac, I cannot understand Lee not seeing the big picture. There is no honor in a bad cause. Jefferson acknowledged the use of slaves to be wrong. I'm saying don't put these folks on too high a pedestal. I believe Jefferson, Lee, and Edison have all gotten their due in history class. I believe Sanger and Steinhem have "left" their mark too.
