Inspired by “To be a liberal you have to believe” jokes that I’ve seen floating around in various forms over the years, I have decided to make a list of things you have to believe to be a Democrat or Republican. The first Democrat item on the list is knowingly plagiarized from a liberal beliefs list – I just had to include it because I think it sums up the left leaning statist outlook so well. The rest I am pretty sure I thought up on my own but someone else has probably said something at least similar to most of them. Anyway, enjoy!
