100 Things You Can Say To Irritate A Republican (HUMOR)Author: Stephen D. Foster Jr. January 14, 2013 12:03 am

1. A Socialist wrote the Pledge of Allegiance.
2. Jesus healed the sick and helped the poor, for free.
3. Joseph McCarthy was an un-American, witch hunting sissy.
4. Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee were traitors.
5. The South lost the Civil War, get over it.

(27,787 posts)I was in a store last year and the woman behind the counter was saying "Merry Christmas" to each person as they checked out, but the way she said it was over the top.
And then at one point she said to one customer (who I think she knew), "No one is going to stop ME from saying merry Christmas!"
So I checked out, and she said "Merry Christmas" ... and I said "and Happy Holidays to you."
Her stunned expression was priceless.

(5,364 posts)They seem to have a lot of veteran chickenhawks.
Really though, I've never yet met a veteran who is nearly as hawkish as the chickenhawk neocons that I've run into.

(23,097 posts)"The military is a government-run institution, so why do Republicans approve the defense budget?"
I can't wait to use this next time I get into a political conversation with my mother. This to me totally captures the hypocrisy and brainlessness of most of today's Repugs.

(16,926 posts)They've grown fond lately of defining "Nazi" (and hence fascism) as a socialist ideology since, well, it contains the word "socialist". Neverminding the actual history.
