*yawn*
This is a modification of an editorial some liberal ass-wipe wrote in a newspaper wrote several months ago. Upon reseaching all of his topics, the majority of good things mentioned were Republican inspired. Google it, you'll see.
This is re-cycled from 2000.....Trash it......
I am done talking to these useful idiots so I respond with the above and am sure I have them scratching their whatever....
Helplessly liberal, huh?? Well, he sounds very gullable...tell him you will drive him to the polls to vote on Election Day........Wednesday, November 3rd.
Each and every argument a straw man, resting on the assumption that without a liberal such a thing would not have happened.And it blithely overlooks the dark side of each liberal 'success.'
Liberals: Without trial lawyers, environmentalists, and unions, life would not be worth living. Says it all, doesn't it?
So, in other words, in Lib'ral Land, the ends justify the means.
Its easy to see how they could justify socialism, communism, naziism, and fascism with the same rationale.
Actually, to be fair to the Left, their real mantra is:
"The intent of the ends justifies the means. The reality of the ends is irrelevant"
"The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards."
Actually, two Republican Presidents (Nixon and Reagan) signed the major legislation involved in this (Clean Water Act). Look it up for the dates...
"some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too."
Thanks to union wage demands, the manufacturing sector took most of its labor to Mexico and China.
"The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air."
George H. W. Bush signed the Clean Air Act in 1990 (I think, maybe 1989?).
"government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime."
True. This is so that the Dems can have some high wage earners to steal taxes from.
" who is now retired and lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself"
Ummm...if he's living off Socialism Security and union pensions (pensions being funded by other people working), he's NOT taking care of himself but letting the gov't do so.
Daniel Boob is right. This is a yawningly easy email to refute. Why, just typing this response has made me fall asleeZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........
Is the historically inaccurate point that it was liberal initiatives that gave "Conservative Joe" his standard of living? If so, ask your Viet Vet friend who gave us class warfare, educational failure, and Vietnam...among other things
Joe goes to work and sits down at his desk. Suddenly, an airplane guided by a radical Muslim slams into his building. Joe, along with all of his co-workers, blow up or burn to death instantly.
Joe is dead because some liberal wants to apply a "global test" in the war on terror.
Joe's wife is a widow because some liberal thinks terrorism should be fought soley by law enforcement.
Joe's children have no father because some liberal is too great a coward and too politically correct to stand up to Muslim terrorists around the world.
Why is Joe's dad taking my money via his social security check when he lives in an already-paid-for house with his son who has a well-paying union job?
With each item, like clean water, clean air, safe drugs, tell your friend, "I'm a conservative, are you saying I want you to drink dirty water? breathe dirty air? die from unsafe drugs? When did you start believing these things about me?"
Any idea why Joe's gas costs $2.50 a gallon?
Fed taxes (supposedly to pay for road improvements - hah!) and anti-drilling liberals.
Any idea how many life saving drugs are hung up awaiting FDA approval?
Any idea how much the FDA approval process adds to the costs of R&D for these drugs?
Any idea how long the approval process delays the availability of those life saving drugs, on average?
I'm glad to hear Joe gets to ride to work on my dime. I don't recall having a choice on "being a contributor".
Fannie Mae is a non governmental lender. They get tax payer subsidies (federal guarantees) which enable them to undercut traditional lenders who don't have such guarantees, again on my dime. And their books are a shambles. We may see them crumble in our lifetime. I suppose Joe and I will get to bail them out, too.
I'm gald I was able to pay for Joe's Dad's lights, but again I wasn't asked. What's wrong with a generator until demand is sufficient to entice someone willing to risk their own capital, not mine?
I'm glad to hear Joe doesn't have to take care of his Dad. That's really touching. He must be relieved. Remember the old days when children took care of their parents? Joe sounds like a selfish asshole.
Joe's safest in the world car is his only because he has an excellent paying job. The safety modifications have added thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars to the price of the vehicle. I'm surprised the liberals don't consider these safety features to be racist, since the average minority cannot afford to ride in such safe and pampered style.
Does Joe realize the FICA tax rate will have to be increased to over 20% to support the SS Ponzi scheme? He better have an excellent paying job and a strong union. And when he dies, there's nothing left. Some "Investment".
Hey, I'm bald as a cue ball, I don't give a sh_t what the f__k I put on my dome.
Anyway, you get my jist. There is a price to all these freebees.
Joe remembers a time when unions actually represented the interests of the rank and file workers.
Joe wonders why the unions have sold out the workers and instead funnel their hard earned pay to the DNC for use in their own pet projects.
Joe is late for work as he has sat around musing about the DNC's talking points.
If your friend believes half of that, he is beyond liberal and into full Socialist mode.
Jose gets up at 6 a.m. and fills tries to fill his coffeepot with water, but once again, no water because the socialist controlled water system is functioning. He goes to the cupboard to get some coffee, but again there is no coffee due to the coffee shortage.
The water is always a murky brown and has been for as long as he can remember because the government owned water treatment has not been updated in years.
With his first swallow of the water from the village well, he takes his daily medication, which he waited in line for six hours to get; it is too bad he could only get enough for a week and not a month as he had hoped. His medications are always short because of the government run system never seems to have enough of anything.
Jose's medications are paid for by the government, because his employer's company was taken over years ago. The medical plan is good, he only had to wait two days for the doctor set his son’s broken arm because of the shortage of doctors in his town.
He prepares his morning breakfast, no bacon, no eggs, only oatmeal with water and a banana picked from his own tree. The market has been out of eggs for six weeks now. But maybe next week the government official says. He hopes he is right. Jose's bacon is not missed, he has forgotten what bacon even tastes like.
In the morning shower, Jose reaches for his shampoo, but then he wakes up and is realizing how much he misses a hot shower. Maybe he can take one at work tomorrow, if the line is not too long.
Jose dresses, in the same old jeans he wears each day and walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean, free and one thing that he can still enjoy without government approvals.
He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work, but again it is not working today, so he will walk the three miles to his work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees to walk and it is good exercise.
As he walks he sees the old newspaper office where he worked as a young boy. It is sad that it has been shut down. Mr. Avila was a nice man, Jose wonders if the stories he heard about him are true – taken in the middle of the night, forced to watch his daughter raped by the soldiers, she was only twelve.
Jose walks past the picture of the Presidente and stops. He looks at it and thinks what life was like back then. He pauses and then spits on the picture.
“HEY! YOU STOP” a soldier is running towards him.
He starts to run, but is grabbed by another soldier; the club aimed for his head. Jose feels the sudden thump to his head and collapses to the ground. The warm blood starts to get in his eyes, but he hardly notices that as suddenly the soldiers are on him and continue to pummel him without mercy. Jose's, family are grateful, as they carry his casket to the cemetery. Funerals are now covered as part of the government health system that the Presidente implemented years ago.
The devil took Him to a very high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;
and he said to Him, "All these things will I give You, if You fall down and worship me."
