I've decided to become a right-winger, a neo-con, a slab-sided upright proponent of straight thinking and family values. I already know that I must love George W. Bush with the unquestioned dedication of a canine, but what other beliefs should be part of my heart and soul now that I have seen the light?
Thank you for your help.
Joe (tax cuts solve everything) Nation
Be a Christian- but don't mind executing people
Espouse divine teaching, eg to turn the other cheek- but be ready to bomb innocent people
Have good friends like "Kenny Boy"- then forsake them, just like in the Bible (see under Judas)
State your willingness to be inclusive- then insult and ignore the United Nations
Be socially conscious and promise help to the poorest- then cut education, health and welfare funding
Be entrusted with security of the nation- then pursue policies which endanger national security
Swear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States- then shred it
Excellent start, McTag!! I am taking notes.
And your new nickname is MickeyTag, my best friend.
Yup, "Mickey" has it right. I, however, voted for the "We're right, they're traitors." That's the way I see the current administration's attitude and it makes me grit my teeth. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Why, Joe, why are you turning to the dark side?
You may send someone overseas to get their dick blown off, but you must lock them up if they get it blown period.
You have to surround yourself with chickenhawks, only find a kinder name for them.
I had a friend back in the late 70's, early 80's . . . we all called him Winger . . . his baptismal name, however, i believe, was The Wingnut. He an' i borrowed his roommate's grandma's car (well, we left a note, anyways), which we eventually drove all over the campus of a major university never to be named, now or later--on the sidewalks (they made all of their sidewalks wide enough for a patrol car, so, we thought--what a setup !)
We eventually almost made it home, when we were suddenly distracted by the baseball team's main practice field. Winger drove through the gate in right field, and we drove down to home, and had us a ball game.
Next morning, Mike asks me: "You guys borrow Grandma's car last night?" . . .
"Uh, yeah . . . you got written evidence, right?"
"Com'ere . . . "
"What's that clump of grass jammed into the front bumper?"
"Uh . . . "
"Kinda scratched up, here on the grill, huh?"
"Uh . . . "
You know, though, i don't think even Winger was this crazy . . .
Hey, Joe, let's start a liars club . . .
-Guns, guns, guns, guns, guns - yep ya got own one, actually the more the better.........
-Faggots, homosexuals, lesbos are everywhere and you must protect the children.
-Believe in abstinence, teach creationism and disallow sex education in schools, vote against abortion, euthanasia and soft drugs.
-Have at least one cardboard sign, tucked away in the closet or garage, that reads, "fry the bastard" and so on....
-Bibles, lots and lots of bibles with all the passages of contention highlighted, just so you can prove your right about all them sinners.
-Single mothers must be the bane of your existence.
-All foreigners are evil unless they invest money, but you still don't want 'em in the country.
Anyone who disagrees with you is a dirty liberal, commie, pinko and/or socialist. This includes countries who don't agree with you personal philosophy.
Money is everything.... and it's here for you, and you only!
Kneel before the Almighty Dollar.
Kill for more.
Sip your expresso and chuckle at the thought of little Chinese children slaving away in sweatshops. Ha! They bought this coffee.
Throw away your conscience.... you won't be needing that anymore.
Edgar, In another world, my nickname is chicken hawk. May I ask why this is a bad thing to be called?
Be anti abortion, but pro death penalty. Rely on the "but the other guys are worse" escuse for any and all atrocities your side commits.
american politics has in essence two postures;
the knee-jerk liberal and the new knee-pad conservative, always groveling before the rich and the powerful.
Chickenhawk's a name the left has given to the hawks of war in the administration, because so many of them avoided military service when they were young, even though Vietnam was going on.
dyslexia
Just some minutes on the computer/day the blonde nice nurse said!
Gosh, I think it's too late to change my moniker, but believe me I didn't get the name for being a coward or a turncoat.

edgar has detailed the more current description, but 'chickenhawk' also refers to a middle-aged homosexual male who prefers the company of young men.

You know, like Bill Clinton...
Uh, I feel as if I have been punched in the gut.
I got my name because of my last name and the warner bro. cartoon. And I'm a chick...I'm not deviant I swear,.........well, maybe just a little.
Time to dump the nickname, I guess.
Bill Clinton was outspoken about it. He spoke out against an unjust war, while Bush and his neocon friends seemingly supported the war effort, so long as they did not have to work or die for it.
