The ten commandments (or more maybe?) of liberalism.
Something everyone who calls themselves a Democrat should at least think about.
Thou shall not tamper with Social Security and Medicare except to improve it.
Thou shall extend health care to everyone
Thou shall educate all children through high school. Free university education should be available to the brightest and most qualified,not the richest.
Thou shall make safe and comfortable shelter available to all who need it.
Thou shall provide food for the hungry.
Thou shall provide free transportation to those who need it to commute to work and to shop.
Thou shall provide a job to everyone who wants one even if it is the state that provides it.
Thou shall make minimum wage a living wage, indexed to productivity to set the rate.
Thou shall make women's and men's reproductive health between them and their doctor and no one else.
Thou shall not discriminate against anyone for their ethnicity, gender, sexual identity or religion.
Okay what did I miss?
Oh, how will this be paid for? Taxes of course but taxes that are targeted. For instance, large corporations should be taxed for education because it is them that will benefit from an educated work force. Stores and business districts should pay for public transportation because it brings the workers and customers and clients to them. Anyway, this is a start.
Didn't you con another DUmmy out of a bicycle?

There are no such restrictions.

What about able-bodied people of sound mind who don't want a job?
Do we still support them?

6. "Free transportation to those who need it?"

I have never heard this particular tenet before.

10. They did a version of it in Portland. But the Bureaucrats ended it

because of a dispute with the transportation worker's union.

Gotta love the irony.

"Thou shall take care of us from cradle to grave like the mindless, helpless children we are."
That covers it. Everything else is just details.

That sounds about right. Didn't FDR propose a second Bill of Rights?

I think I like God's commandments better, especially the "thou shalt not steal" one.

A brain.

Yeah. Not all that different from the crap posted.

"thou shalt not steal" one? Never heard of it.

True DUmmie thinking: We need to enforce the part of the Constitution that's not actually in the Constitution and ignore the parts that are actually in it.

5. No we don't because they obviously don't need jobs. n/t
And DUmmies everywhere say, "Wait just a minute now..."

I got a commandment for the DUmmies, regressives, dimrats, et al.
I only need one.
Thou shall go straight to Hell, and take your DUmbass, moronic, tried and FAILED ideas with you!
Do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

In its basic form...
Thou shalt gimme.

Considering how DU fails the real 10 Commandments I can see them wanting a different set.
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Dummies fail as they have BamBam, Pelosi, and tons of others.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
On this one I think their laziness kind of helps them as to 'make' something could be considered work.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Dummies fail as they take His name in vain and much worse.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Dummies fail as their holy days only include the day their government check comes in, the day Roe v Wade ruling was announced, etc.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother.
Dummies fail this one big time. Just check DU on any family holiday.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
Dummies also fail this one big time as millions of unborn babies will attest.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Considering that they are essentially like rutting animals that will hump any thing of any gender I would say the DUmmie fail this one.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
Dummies both fail and despise this one.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Dummies again fail because as a wise man once said, "Dummies lie all the time. All the time Dummies lie."
10. Thou shalt not covet.
Massive DUmmie failure once again on this one. One of the reasons the Dummies are such large supporters of violating the 8th commandment is because of all of their coveting.
DUmmies aren't really good at very many things, but it looks like they are absolutely excellent at demonstrating world class "fail" when it comes to the 10 Commandments.

5. Honour thy father and thy mother.
Honor thy father and thy father. It's gotta be in there somewhere.

Don't be sexist.
Honor thy mother and thy mother as well.

Lets play DUmbass Utopia for a minute.
We will start with the free transportation that it says will be paid for by taxing merchants.
As expected Cleita stupidly forgets that this requires,even in a super efficient system many parasitic losses of that tax money to pay not just for the physical means but also the bureaucratic supply chain.
People to collect,people to enforce,people to distribute and so on those funds.
What happens is that the amount of tax needed from a few to fund for the masses exceeds quickly what they can generate in revenue and since 3 squares and a bed are already a guarantee the merchant simply gives up short of the government forcing him to stay in "business" via subsidies.
As far as food for everyone I am not sure how the farmer manages since it sounds like most of his crop has to be simply given away.
I understand that in the urban DUmbass mind farming is much like Jack and his magic beans...throw them on the ground and soon a bountiful harvest awaits.
Truth is that it takes fertilizer and herbicides to efficiently produce the volume of food our population needs so one wonders how the farmer pays for that now that his production is confiscated.
At that point since he is also guaranteed food and shelter I guess he simply parks the tractor.
Faced with this dilemma the government will have no alternative then to grow the food itself but how can that be,it takes bodies to make the fertilizer,till the ground harvest the crops?
Wait,I think I see the answer...
Thou shall provide a job to everyone who wants one even if it is the state that provides it.
So there you have your world Cleita,one where all economic activity is in the hands of the central government and you are assigned a job to meet the functions of it in return for a basic existence of a commode,sink,simple food,a bed and four walls with a roof.
Mmm,sounds familiar for some reason,help me out folks has the world seen this before anywhere?

..It doesn't take brain science or rocket surgery to know the primitives would selectively enforce that list of commandments, with unions receiving the first of a long line of exemptions, the second being government employees. -- So - why don't we throw out any pretense now, and rewrite these commands the way the author actually intends.
Thou shall not tamper with Social Security and Medicare except to improve it by soaking 'the 1%'.
Thou shall extend health care to everyone at the expense of the wealthy
Thou shall educate all children through high school. Free university education should be available to the brightest and most qualified,not the richest, nor political enemies.
The wealthy shall make safe and comfortable shelter available to all who need it.
The wealthy shall provide food for the hungry.
The wealthy shall provide free transportation to those who need it to commute to work and to shop.
The wealthy shall provide a job to everyone who wants one even if it is the state that provides it, using tax revenue garnished from the wealthy.
Thou shall make minimum wage a living wage, indexed to productivity to set the rate- to be paid for by the wealthy.
Thou shall make women's and men's reproductive health between them and their doctor and no one else, unless those details would benefit Democrats and Democratic causes.
Thou shall not discriminate against anyone for their ethnicity, gender, sexual identity or religion, unless the person to be discriminated against is considered a part of our 'enemies list'.

Good list miskie, but I do think you need to add ",whom we choose," after "the wealthy" because a bleeding-heart liberal with money is always to be treated differently than a wealthy conservative.

That is an excellent point.
There is no way a conservative Warnen Buffett would be allowed to remain free, he would be sharing a cell with Bernie Madoff.

"Free university education should be available to the brightest and most qualified."
What a coincidence, that's similar to what conservatives believe. We believe that college scholarships should be awarded to those who are most qualified. Liberals believe in "Affirmative Action," in which the only criteria is whether or not the recipient will help them fill their racial quotas.

"I look unto the democrats from whince cometh my everything".....from the DUmmie bible.
I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence commeth my help? My help commeth from Obama's Stash. ( Genesis, Carpet Crawlers ?)
Actually rather than a retelling of Roosevelt's Second Bill of Rights (also known as his Communist Coming out Manifesto) they should retell the story of creation in their own image. "In the beginning Adam and Steve...". :rotf:

Vague and tenuous at best, see, what I was thinking was the DUmp's best and brightest could create their own "Rock Opera History of the World" . Instead of the apple, Eve eats the snake ... well maybe I better not give them ideas here. Genesis, "in the beginning" of course, makes me think of Carpet Crawlers. What about Exodus?
