re: #763 SanFranciscoZionist

BTW, the Tampa 9/12 Project asks people if they believe in at least seven of these nine principles:

Do you believe in at least 7 of The Nine Principles below?

1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

I think I get six, with partial agreement to some of the others. And yet: a liberal!!

1, 5, 7 and 9 are hilariously dissonant, the same government that “works for me” should blindly force my ass in jail for breaking the law except when it comes to evading taxes that go towards charitable causes … but America is good.
