Things you have to believe to be a Republican today. That is pure flamebait, except it's basically true. The only flaw is that it applies all of those statements to all Republicans (I hear they have a big tent these days), when obviously all Republicans are not the same. However, it is generally close to the current overall Republican platform. I found a companion "Things you have to believe to be a Democrat today," but it was rather limp; it seemed composed more to appear to balance the first list than to actually point out any of the deficiencies in the Democratic platform. I'm sure there's a better effort out there waiting to be discovered.
