"A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN”
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor. Joe begins his workday. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. The FSLIC federally insures Joe’s deposit because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university. Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the taxpayer funded roads. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

basically that's what we've, with the blue states and the pink states, what human beings are forgetting is we are united states. what's necessary is compromise, no area is nice on ever element of each issue in spite of the undeniable fact that the divide that we've is conserving this united states back. Compromised legislations to take the corners off may earnings all. no longer basically some. I also imagine that maximum of your stereo varieties at the prompt are not real. basically look on the upward thrust of authorities in the finest 6 years, the spending spree that congress and the president has been on to dispel that, and that i as a liberal democrat own guns and intend to save them. U.H.C is a few thing that could nicely be embraced by ability of both activities. Social welfare courses were overhauled in the course of the Clinton presidency. Ever listen of welfare to artwork. that's operating and as a count number of actuality there are various less human beings on welfare then ever earlier considering that its inception. 2 years and also you're off of it. 4 years lifetime. so that you may't pin any issue on basically one get at the same time. Many Repuglicans are professional decision and many democrats are anti-abortion.

The Founding Fathers were the product of the liberal enlightenment. They brought in a weird pinko radical constitution that guaranteed freedom of expression, near universal suffrage and the right to worship the God of your choice (amongst other ideas). Hell, they took a load of their inspiration from Thomas Paine and you didn't get much more pinko radical than that guy back then.
You think we should have taken all these guys out the back an' strung 'em up?

they should make them live life the way they want everyone else to. They should make them live like a poor person in a studio or one bedroom apartment, live on a budget everyday and go into debt, get sick and have to use medicare for health care and see how they like it. And best of all, they should make all of the environmentalists live the way they tell us to do. Take away their big cars, planes, big houses, and all the rest of the stuff they use and then tell the rest of us we are the ones responisible for global warming.. I swear, if they made liberals live life the way they say everyone lives in this country, there would be no liberals left...

Maybe we should put you in Prison for what you think.
It takes all kinds of people to make our country what it is today, even those you do not agree with.
When you do not agree you should work hard at trying to convince them to think different, or raise more people to back your your ideas.
Our constitution guarantees the rights of Liberals and you, in your voice.

Give us affordable health care, no Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, or unemployment insurance deductions, a good retirement plan, you know, those things that the last majority in congress gave themselves.

How about LISTENING to them?
Look at the mess Conservatives have made of things.
How about some prisons or camps for them?

Take all the right wingers, load em' up and ship them to a new Jonestown in South America.
Take all the left wingers, load em' up and boat them to Cuba, North Korea, or Iran...their favorite nations.
At that time, the USA can finally be great again.
