Chinese and North Korean communists.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by
cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by

20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the

21. You have to refuse to discuss the issues in a rational manner and
whenever someone attempts to do so, outshout them (preferably with
profanity and name-calling) and stick to personal slurs, smear tactics,
slander and building strawmen so you can knock down the strawpersons and
hopefully sidetrack the conversation.

22. You have to always ignore the message and attack the messenger. When
stuck, change a couple of your adversaries words' and repeat their
comments back to them verbatim and by all means always be sure to accuse

about WMD before the Iraqi invasion: William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary
Clinton, Sandy Berger, Madeline Albright, Senators Carl Levin, Tom
Daschle, Robert Byrd, Jay Rockefeller, John Kerry, Bob Graham, Ted
Kennedy, Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Henry Waxman andvice-president
Al Gore to name only the most vociferous.

29. You have to be a purveyor of perennial pessimism and a dispatcher of
doomsday gloom and hyperbolic hysteria whenever you can work some scare
tactics into the foreboding warnings of eventual catastrophe at the hands
of your adversaries, i.e. people who disagree with you.

30. Whenever possible, if you hear or read something that seems quite
logical and might influence someone against the Liberal viewpoint, be sure
to find some tiny, inconsequential irrelevancy, such as the misspelling or
mispronunciation of a word, unusual facial expression, article of clothing
or some morsel of arcane trivia to attempt to derail the conversation into
petty bickering replete with name-calling and personal slurs. [Use of the
"F" word is particularly effective, especially when combined with
prepubescent profanity and puerile posturing.]

31. Always have unkind and accusatory slurs cocked and ready to use
regarding any armed forces personnel other than your own candidates,
sell-outs, turncoats, traitors and those who are guilty of or advocate
treason.

32. When your adversary presents a particularly damning discovery, pervert
it, twist it around, accuse him of something he didn't say, falsely
attribute your invention to him and then proceed to argue against your own
creation with the hope nobody will notice.

33. You have to remember that nobody but your adversaries, real or
imagined are ever to blame for anything and no one should ever be
accountable or held responsible for their words or actions - they're just
misunderstood.

34. You have to be a victim of as many things as possible and be ever
vigilant to promote victimization of almost anything and anyone although
that's very difficult to reconcile with the assertion that nobody's to
blame for anything, except the people who don't agree with you.

35. You must always have double standards, a higher standard that you
demand of people you don't like and people who don't agree with you and
another for yourself and your confederates which is preferably no
standards at all.

36. You must with all your heart and soul hate America and Americans and
bash them at every opportunity, while claiming you love freedom and
America contending that patriots are really traitors.

37. You must always remember that you are a member of the grown up 4-H and
always display their watchwords: hyperbole, hysteria, hallucinations and
hate.

38. You have to believe that just because your candidate lost an election
or an unacceptable law was passed there's always the possibility of going
to court to get your way.

39. You are always to belittle and deride concepts such as patriotism,
honor, honesty, faithfulness, fidelity, loyalty, courage, bravery,
