ARE YOU A PATRIOT?
Homeland Security Self-Examination
by Ray Lesser in The Funny Times
Homeland Security is the job of all patriotic Americans. Although the FBI, CIA and hundreds of other government agencies are spending millions of man-hours and billions of tax dollars trying their best to root out terrorism, Americans are still in danger. It is impossible for the Homeland Security Department to interrogate every single person in this country (and torture an occasional squealer) to sort out the good citizens from the evildoers.
That's why we've created the following Homeland Security Self-Examination. There's no longer any need for invasive and expensive government agency procedures to determine whether or not you're a terrorist. Now, you can do it yourself (as required by sec. 2476, sub-paragraph B, of the USA Patriot Act).
You may have thought all people who get infected by terrorism eventually die, either by blowing themselves up or rotting in a concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay. But early detection can help prevent terrorism. By taking this simple Homeland Security Self-Exam, you can find out if you are in danger of becoming a danger to yourself and others around you.
The Homeland Security Department recommends that all Americans over the age of 12 examine their patriotism once a month. If a change should occur in your patriotism level let your local FBI agent know, so that you can receive free government monitoring.
Homeland Security Self-Exam:
Every American should own, and know how to use a gun because:
a. We may be called upon at any moment to fend off a jihad of foreign invaders.
b. We may need to protect our valuables from millions of newly unemployed slum-dwellers.
c. It's fun to shoot things.
d. We may be called upon to overthrow a tyrannical leadership that has stolen an election and usurped our freedoms.
Every American should be fingerprinted because:
a. After all good Americans are fingerprinted, only the evil ones will be left to round up and lock away.
b. It will prevent thieves from stealing my identity, and using it to rack up my Victoria's Secret credit card.
c. If you're ever kidnapped by terrorists, it'll help the authorities find and identify your body.
d. No American should ever be fingerprinted, unless they have been convicted of a felony.

b. In front of company headquarters.
c. On three-day weekends.

When I shop I look to see:

a. Pray for forgiveness for their sins.
b. Inherit all their family's wealth, free of taxes.
c. Work hard, and party hearty.
d. Employment, regardless of race, color, weight, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin.
Have you ever been convicted of a crime?:

b. Yes, but I paid a substantial penalty to the SEC, so it's all been cleared up.
c. Yes, but I didn't do it.
d. Yes, for protesting in a "non-free-speech" zone.
I would be proud to serve my President:
a. As a missionary to the heathen hordes.
b. By accepting multi-billion dollar contracts to rebuild any country he wants to bomb.
c. By enlisting in the Marines, if it wasn't for my anal cysts.
d. A subpoena to appear in court.
Now total your points: Each a. = 1 point, b. = 2 points, c. = 3 points, d. = 1000 points.
Your Patriotism Level:
Less than 15: A Loyal American! (Report any suspicious activity in your neighborhood.)
15-30: A Friend of The President (Get out your checkbook).
30-39: Born in the USA (Watch more Fox News).
Over 39: Terrorist or Terrorist sympathizer (You're either with us, or you're against us. Consider this your final warning.)
Snave's note: My score on this quiz was 11,006. This places me squarely in the company of bad people. Sorry to have disappointed you!

This is absolutely hysterical!!!! I'm going to have to forward this to friends. Thanks for sharing this, Snave!!! :-)))))
Right on, OKD!! Sheryl, forward on!!
That is great. My total was 12, 003.
Looks like I am a bigger terrorist than you Snave. I should watch what I should say huh?
My friend in Houston wrote back that he answered D for all of the questions. He added, "I better hide my Korans...."
I knew he was terrorist though.
I bet he was bureaucrat lover and a pink commi before that as well.
Sheesh, I answered D on all of those questions. Guess I had better get my rifle ready for a US government jihad against those who disagree with the party line.
cool, i got a 12003. now i guess i'll be shipped off to gitmo for the duration. that's ok, probably better living conditions than most average americans have working two jobs while wrapping themselves in the flag and yellow ribbons.
Hey Snaveroo,
I came out as a terror suspect, I guess I'll be stopped the next time I fly into the states, damn it. Ahh well theres always Mexico.
Some of the questions didn't have a correct answer for me, and others had answers that were close to being correct but were flawed. For example, no Americans should be fingerprinted unless convicted of a felony? That would severely limit the ability of law enforcement to exculpate suspects in crimes. The correct phrasing would have been "unless charged with a crime."
As for me, I don't even own an American flag, find it tacky for homeowners to fly them. And my greatest fear? I live in a coastal county in the Southeast, and it's the summer. What do you think I'm afraid of? But I scored a few thousand.
