You Have To Laugh!

I got a humorous e-mail the other day that sparked my thought. I'll include it at the end of this piece for all of you to get a chuckle. It draws a parallel between liberal and conservatives, it's funny when the comparisons are made, but sadly true...

We have a childhood obesity problem in this country, let's face it our kids eat too much and don't get enough exercise. The liberal cure; regulate Trans fats, and take soda out of school vending machines. Apparently putting those things out of reach will solve the weight issue, now what do they do about Oreo's? Wouldn't a better plan to be to educate the offenders rather than punish everyone for irresponsible behavior?

America's salt intake is too high. Liberal cure....regulate the amount of salt in food. That kind of puts a dent in the pretzel industry, so again rather than educate and confront the problem at the root of the problem, everyone suffers.

Marijuana abuse is a problem, liberal cure....regulate and tax it. After all the government can never have enough revenue!

Yesterday in protest to the new immigration law in Arizona, someone drew swastika's out of bean dip on the windows of the Capital building. Liberal cure...regulate and tax the sale of bean dip. You know without these tools of destruction available, this vandalism cannot take place. If you register all sales of bean dip, this sort of tomfoolery cannot happen, and to pay for people to oversee these regulations we need to tax the dip.

I only wish I could express the absurdity of this thinking as well as the following piece.....

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 is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

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.

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.

I hope you got a chuckle!

God Bless!
