The first step to a cure is recognizing that you have a disease. You’ll need a diagnosis before you can get a prescription.
If you’re a liberal who is out of touch with reality, we really can’t do much to help you until you are at least willing to admit it. If you’re exhibiting any one of these 6 symptoms, then you can safely diagnose yourself as an out-of-touch liberal and seek treatment immediately.
1. You think that George W. Bush caused the recent recession
You’ve probably heard the narrative promoted by the wigglejaws on MSNBC: George W. Bush caused that terrible recession that we just experienced!
Really?
What, pray tell, did George W. Bush do to cause that recession? His signature economic legislation, including the Bush tax cuts, was passed in 2001. More tax cuts were passed in 2003. How did either of these laws cause a recession which began in 2007?
The fact is this: a bunch of banks made stupid real estate loans. The real estate market crashed, and everything went sour. George W. Bush had nothing to do with it.
2. You get your news from Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart is a funny guy. That’s the problem if you get your news from him. He’s a funny guy. He’s not a news anchor. He pretends to be one, of course, but that’s part of the act.
Maybe you should consider getting your news from a news source instead of a comedian.
3. You watch MSNBC
Maybe we should clarify the point that we just made above. If you give up watching Jon Stewart and switch to MSNBC, you’re basically just watching a 24-hour version of Jon Stewart without the comedy.
Watch a legitimate news source.
4. You’re still concerned about institutional racism
A black man is in the White House and Oprah Winfrey is a billionaire. Really, what are you worried about?
5. You think that raising taxes improves the economy
Some liberals sputter the following nonsense: “Bill Clinton raised taxes back in the 1990′s and look how good the economy was back then!”
It is true that Bill Clinton raised marginal tax rates, he was also a tax cutter. In fact, Bill Clinton cut taxes on the rich by eliminating the Luxury Tax. Bill Clinton cut the capital gains tax. Bill Clinton implemented welfare reform.
There are several reasons that the economy was great back in the 1990′s. Raising taxes wasn’t one of them.
6. You’re surprised that regulations on insurance companies are causing them to raise their premiums
If you’re an out-of-touch liberal, you probably think it’s pretty cool that ObamaCare mandates that insurance companies are required to cover “children” up to 26 years old.
It may surprise you to learn, however, that the additional coverage is actually going to cost insurance companies money. And how will they raise that money? They’ll raise premiums, of course.
Really. You didn’t see this coming?
This bothers me...”Bill Clinton cut taxes on the rich by eliminating the Luxury Tax. Bill Clinton cut the capital gains tax. Bill Clinton implemented welfare reform.”
...let’s not give credit to someone that had pressur from a Republican congress.
Yep, GWB had nothing to do with those bad loans, NOTHING
>Bush pushes minority homeownership (FR post | June 15, 2002 | By KATHY A. GAMBRELL)
Bush seeks to increase minority homeownership (FR post USA Today ^ | 1-20-04 | Thomas Fogarty )
President Bush Mortgage Speech 2002(Helping those w bad credit buy houses)
Compassional conservative was proved to be a huge failure under Bush as all those minorities voted Democrat by 2008 after they lost all those homes promoted above.

6 Signs That You’re A Liberal Who Is Out Of Touch With Reality............
7. You’re a twenty-something college brat who uses “Really?” in every sentence.
Dragged kicking and screaming to the signing table is more like it...
I'm not disagreeing. ..however, in fairness to Bush, he was also pushing hard for greater control of Fannie and Freddy. The Bush Admin was predicting the coming train wreck. . .Dems said, "Racism!!" see link here
People stupid enough to be liberals are also too stupid to be able to read and understand this. Who will read it to them....The Alphabet News readers? Fuggedaboutit!
The fact is this: a bunch of banks made stupid real estate loans because they were coerced to do so by DemocRAT policy: the so-called 'Community Reinvestment Act', signed by Jimmy Carter and put on steroids by Bill Clinton. The real estate market crashed, and everything went sour. George W. Bush had nothing to do with it.
“Bill Clinton implemented welfare reform.”
Only if you define ‘welfare reform’ as:
- Dividing up welfare spending over 80 Federal agencies so that it is almost impossible to figure out the total cost.
- Liberalizing the rules regarding Social Security Disability so that the cost of disability is now the fastest growing component of social security expenses (yea, even faster than baby boomer retirement).
- Putting in place the lies to allow the TOTAL spending on welfare today to be greater than Social Security and Military COMBINED.
He reformed welfare only if you have less brains than a box of rocks.
That looks like a 2008 FNC segment created to try to save Bush.
The problem with it is when they say Fwank was demanding that Bush give more loans to the poor Bush and his people were all over bragging that they were doing that, as I showed.
The end of the down payment requirement was done under Bush.
Fwank was in the GOP House so he couldnt stop anything there.
And as I pointed out early 2007 the eve of the biggest disaster since the 1929 crash Bush is telling us in his SOTU how strong the economy is. (too late to fix it by then)
I always believed that giving Bush a free pass for his eight years some with a GOP congress helped people believe Obama's lame excuses.
SMILE, YOU'RE ON CANDID CAMERA.
Actually the Cigar boy took over an economy that was growing at a 5+% rate and that was due all to Reagans policies of the 80’s, don’t ever let any liberals not forget that. Also with out Newt and the 104th Congress Bill Clinton would be just like Obama a failure. And remember the bent one also caused the Housing Crisis. Nuff said.
