I just got a funny email about the difference between Republicans and Democrats, purportedly by Jeff Foxworthy. It's been around for a while and isn't likely Foxworthy's doing, but it's really quite cute, as it captures the essence that distinguishes the two.
Here's a sample:
- If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
- If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
- If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
- If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
- If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
- If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
We are currently bombarded with claims of rights to
- admission to the country,
- health care,
- free abortions,
- not be offended,
- a secondary education,
- a job paying $17 an hour...
As the list demonstrates, nearly every "right" the left imposes actually requires that someone else do something or give up something, foisting a form of servitude on someone else. To a leftist, a right is an entitlement an obligation on someone else to give him something, or not exercise his own right.
