With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy:

If you believe in angels but not global warming, you might listen to too much Fox News, Rush or Beck.

If you acknowledge global warming but deny human involvement, you might listen to too much Fox News, Rush or Beck.

If you think Barack Obama was born in Kenya; that Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum or Ted Cruz are presidential material; that Michelle Obama is a witch because she suggests kids should eat healthy foods and exercise; that the reason for poverty is laziness; that another word for immigrant is “criminal”; that a conspiracy explains Benghazi; that the IRS is wrong to assume an organization with the label “tea party” is involved in politics; that Muslim means “terrorist”; that the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare are two different things; that Obamacare will “literally” kill woman and children and take away our “freedom” – you might listen to too much Fox News, Rush or Beck.

If you think it’s a good thing to shut down the government or risk default over a constitutional law designed to help people acquire health insurance, you definitely listen to too much Fox News, Rush or Beck.

If you think it’s discriminatory to enforce the individual mandate in the ACA but think it’s OK to deny gays the right to get married, or that the U.S. needs to spend more on its military, or more guns will solve the gun violence epidemic … I can’t stop!

If you believe in “clean coal” or that the Keystone pipeline is in any way related to American energy independence, you listen to too much entertainment disguised as news.
