If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.

If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.

If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.

A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.

If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a black man or Hispanic are conservative, they see themselves as independently

successful.

Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.

A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.

Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.

A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a

foreign religion, of course!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may

choose a job that provides it.

A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed.

If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.

If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.

A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

Republicans should start supporting gay marriage. They wouldn't have any natural children, so their estate would go to the State. The bailout would be paid for in 50 years and there won't be a Democrat left.

The Runt

I recently asked my friends' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She
said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were
standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you
would do? '

She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.' Her parents beamed.

'Wow...what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'But you don't have to wait until you're
President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and
sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50.

Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you
can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house '

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and
asked, ' Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him
the $50?

I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'

Her parents still aren't speaking to me.
The Ant and the Grasshopper

  OLD VERSION:

  The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
  house and laying up supplies for the winter.

  The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the
  summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

  The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

  MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!



  MODERN VERSION:

  The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long,building his
  house and laying up supplies for the winter.

  The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the
  summer away.

  Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and
  demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed

  while others are cold and starving.



  CBS, NBC, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering
  grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a
  table filled with food.



  America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a
  country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

  Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody
  cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."



  Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where
  the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome."Jesse
  then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's
  sake.



  Tom Daschle &John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Peter Jennings
  that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both
  call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair
  share."



  Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper
  Act," retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for
  failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having
  nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by

  the government.



  Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a
  defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel
of federal judges that Bill appointed from a list of single-parent

  welfare recipients.



  The ant loses the case.



  The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of
  the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens
  to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't
  maintain it.



  The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a
  drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a
  gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.


  MORAL OF THE STORY: Vote Republican
