Everyone should read this [02 Sep 2004|11:46pm] [ mood | horny ] A Day in the Life of an Anti-Government Conservative Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety, and that they work as advertised. All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers' medical plan because some liberal union workers fought the employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat-packing industry. Joe takes his morning shower, reaching for his shampoo. His bottle is properly ! labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his right to know just what he was putting on his body. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree- hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting it. Joe walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor. Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays, a 40-hour week with overtime and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because he doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job! or becomes unemployed he'll get a worker's compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of some temporary misfortune that was no fault of Joe's. Its noon. Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below- market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. 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 to Dad's. Joe's car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for automobile safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He 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 big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republicans would still be sitting in the dark) Joe is happy to see his dad, who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad, Joe gets back in his car for the ride home. Joe turns on a radio talk show. The host keeps saying that liberals are evil, and conservatives are divine and persecuted. (He doesn't mention that Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe has enjoyed throughout this day.) Joe gets mad, and agrees with the talkshow host: "We don't ne! ed those big-government liberals ruining our lives. We need to get government off our backs, and let free enterprise take care of everything. After all, I'm a self-made man who believes that everyone should take care of themselves, without any help from the government. Just like I have." 1 comment|post comment
