Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican

by [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link.
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 work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers 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 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 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 tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He 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, medicals 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.
Its noon time, 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 life-time.
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 dads; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car 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 electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republican’s would still be sitting in the dark)
He 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 he gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show, the host’s keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn’t tell Joe 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”.

Great post, Thanks...it's too easy for Repugs to forget! Just like those that don't "believe" in science are all to grateful for the Doctors knowledge when they have a need.

A Day In The Life Of A Liberal

Early in the AM:

The alarm goes off, waking our libby up. The libby rubs his/her eyes with the last dream they had fresh in their mind. It was a dream where America is completely Atheist, nobody judges anyone for anything, counseling is always the punishment, wealth is distributed evenly, and the kids have more rights than the parents. The libby smiles to his/her self and gets ready for the day.

During the Libby's breakfast, they hear a news report of a man being beaten nearly to death because he was, not only a gay, but a minority as well. The Libby goes into a rage and thinks the ##### that committed this terrible act should be punished. The news switches to another story. The story is about a rich white man who was beaten nearly to death, by a black person, for his money. The Libby sheds a tear for the offender and starts muttering to his/her self about the poor disadvantaged person who is forced to commit such acts to survive.

Before the Libby is off to work, he/she catches a glimps of the latest cartoon in the New York Times. It's a cartoon that creatively makes fun of Christianity. The Libby laughs, thinking about the wonderful greatness of free speech in America; but thinks the cartoon B.C. should be banned.

Late in the AM:

On the way to work, the Libby passes a group of Islamics protesting about how evil America is. The Libby gets a satisfied smile on his/her face and keeps on driving. A little further down the road, the Libby sees a Christian cross out in a field overlooking the ocean. The Libby suddenly has their day ruined as they go into a rage over how offensive that darned Christian cross is to people; especially Islam. The Libby makes a mental note to demand that thing gets torn down.

The Libby arrives at work, but before entering passes by someone who it is obvious has just arrived from their private life onto the work area. The person smells like smoke. The Libby shakes his/her fist to the Heavens and announces loudly that the person smells like smoke, and be darned if the offender smoked offsite in their own home! The Libby shakes his/her fist to the sky as they race into the office building. It's a good thing this particular Libby is the own here, because he/she has just got an idea. This Libby is now going to have people randomly tested at work. If they show they have smoked, regardless of it being in their private life, they will be fired. This Libby has decided to also fire people if they are over a certain weight. You see, the Libby doesn't feel this is an intrusion into private life. However, a mother listening in on her daughter's phone conversation with a robbery suspect boyofriend is a violation of personal rights.

Lunch Time:

It took the rest of the morning, but the Libby got his/her new ideas down for controlling their worker's private lives. It's time to kick back a moment, have a bite to eat and go over the stats for the day. You see, this particular Libby controls a business that watches over the natural environment and agonizes over threats like acid rain, toxic waste, deforestation, etc. But the Libby is totally oblivious to threats to the social environment (pornography, promiscuity, and family dissolution).

While looking outside, the Libby sees the Islamic protesters have made it to his/her street. One of them pulls out an American flag and burns it. The Libby witnesses this and thinks, go free speech! A second later, someone shouts "stop disgracing America sand dweller". The Libby immediately goes into rage, thinking that person needs sensitivity training and should pay the Islamic restitution. In the next second, someone comes up to the flag burner and shoots them dead. Now our Libby is outraged; thinking that the NRA helps criminals, but the ACLU protects the innocent.

Afternoon:

An Islamic riot has started over the shooting, temporarily stalling our Libby from getting back home. But our Libby is not upset, because he/she feels a race riot is a justifiable expression of rage. While waiting for the chance to get home, the Libby catches word of a protest. It is a protest of whites protesting a protest of illegal mexicans wanting to have our freedoms. This just adds on to the anger the Libby has already built up today; he/she can't believe how racist those white people are acting.

The Libby is finally able to go home. While going home, the Libby passes a school and smiles. He/she knows that no prayer was in that school today, because that would be an invasion of rights. But he/she is also smiling knowing that, without parental consent, the kids are being taught how to use condoms and reading "Heather has two mommies". This, of course, is not invasion of rights in our Libby's mind.

Before reaching home, the Libby stops off at a bar and goes inside. The Libby is happy, because the person that owns this bar has had his/her right taken away to let customers smoke in the bar; never mind that a bar is not like a family establishment.

Evening:

The Libby gets home, cooks a meal, and sits down to watch the evening news. On the news they show that there are Muslims, who work in at Target, who refuse to checkout anyone who is buying pork products, this is because of religious beliefs. The Muslims are catered to and given different jobs. The Libby thinks this is great to accomodate them. The next news program shows a protest of people who want Creationism taught in schools. The Libby smiles to his/her self, thinking "sorry, your kids have no choice but to learn evolution and we will not accomodate them because of their religious beliefs".

Before switching off the news and getting ready for bed, up pops some breaking news about a murderer who will be put to death. The Libby shakes their fist at the screen, calling the death penalty murder. He/she then goes up stairs smiling about the upcoming trip he/she will be taking with their best friend who just had an abortion.

The Libby prepares for bed and tucks themselves in for the night. Just before falling asleep, the Libby's last thought is those child-abusing, religious fanatics at Waco had it coming but the illegal immigrants roughed up by California deputies (after leading them on a highspeed chase) are the victims of the decade. While asleep, the Libby dreams of an America where the only acceptable hate crime, is Christian bashing.

Everyone always thinks their "side" is keeping the world from being knocked of its axis and sent spinning into the center of the Milky Way. And the accusations get thicker and more vile the closer you come to a major political election.

Affiliation to a certain party only means you share some of their ideals, and that parrty fits your world view most closely.

I would think we were all aware enough of the precarious position we are in globally to be mature enough to say "Firstly, I am an American. And I will protect my home from ALL sources who are trying to annilate the way of life the Constitution set before our ancestors."

ALL SOURCES: both homegrown and foreign.

Do you all really believe any poll-a-tician? Can you believe one who uses the mantra of "Divide and Conquer?"

Most of them do. Take a look at the book "A People's History of the United States of America." All the facts therein can be independantly confirmed so don't think I am pulling this out of my you know what. Turning the citizenry into sheeple and dividing us into groups diametrically opposed, along class lines, race lines, and religious lines, has long been the practice of those who rule our nation.

Just keep on feeding the lies and keep on poking the hornets nest with a big stick. It's what the nebulous "they" want.

Republicans and democrats-please spare me the not so clever sarcasm and innuendo.

And please vote for who will do this country the least harm, and vote for the one whose puppetmaster has the kindest view of Americans.

And that my friends was spoken by a real citizen of the Constitution.

A Day In The Life Of A Liberal

Early in the AM:

The alarm goes off, waking our libby up. The libby rubs his/her eyes with the last dream they had fresh in their mind. It was a dream where America is completely Atheist,most Libs I know are Christian. nobody judges anyone for anything, counseling is always the punishment, wealth is distributed evenly, and the kids have more rights than the parents. The libby smiles to his/her self and gets ready for the day.As opposed to a Con who is always angry??

During the Libby's breakfast, they hear a news report of a man being beaten nearly to death because he was, not only a gay, but a minority as well. The Libby goes into a rage and thinks the ##### that committed this terrible act should be punished. They should be punished, no doubt.The news switches to another story. The story is about a rich white man who was beaten nearly to death, by a black person, for his money. The Libby sheds a tear for the offender and starts muttering to his/her self about the poor disadvantaged person who is forced to commit such acts to survive.Very true in many cases people do acts in desperation they normally wouldn't.

Before the Libby is off to work, he/she catches a glimps of the latest cartoon in the New York Times. It's a cartoon that creatively makes fun of Christianity. The Libby laughs, thinking about the wonderful greatness of free speech in America; but thinks the cartoon B.C. should be banned.

Late in the AM:

On the way to work, the Libby passes a group of Islamics protesting about how evil America is. The Libby gets a satisfied smile on his/her face and keeps on driving.Notice no mention of them forcing their religion on others. A little further down the road, the Libby sees a Christian cross out in a field overlooking the ocean. The Libby suddenly has their day ruined as they go into a rage over how offensive that darned Christian cross is to people; especially Islam.Depends on the community, maybe many would find it offensive. The Libby makes a mental note to demand that thing gets torn down.

The Libby arrives at work, but before entering passes by someone who it is obvious has just arrived from their private life onto the work area. The person smells like smoke. The Libby shakes his/her fist to the Heavens and announces loudly that the person smells like smoke,smoke is a killer. secondhand smoke kills innocents, it also effects people with asthma and be darned if the offender smoked offsite in their own home! The Libby shakes his/her fist to the sky as they race into the office building. It's a good thing this particular Libby is the own here, because he/she has just got an idea. This Libby is now going to have people randomly tested at work. If they show they have smoked, regardless of it being in their private life, they will be fired. Never happen, even in a false story like this its impossible.This Libby has decided to also fire people if they are over a certain weight.Actually the cost of insurance for people out of shape is passed on to those of us in shape, resulting in higher costs. You see, the Libby doesn't feel this is an intrusion into private life. However, a mother listening in on her daughter's phone conversation with a robbery suspect boyofriend is a violation of personal rights.Notice the keyword? suspect....he might be innocent. funny how he's guilty till proven innocent to you..

Lunch Time:

It took the rest of the morning, but the Libby got his/her new ideas down for controlling their worker's private lives. It's time to kick back a moment, have a bite to eat and go over the stats for the day. You see, this particular Libby controls a business that watches over the natural environment and agonizes over threats like acid rain, toxic waste, deforestation, etc.these do effect everyone, and future generations as well. so short sided of you to think we have the right to do what we want with the world. But the Libby is totally oblivious to threats to the social environment (pornography, promiscuity, and family dissolution).

While looking outside, the Libby sees the Islamic protesters have made it to his/her street. One of them pulls out an American flag and burns it. The Libby witnesses this and thinks, go free speech! A second later, someone shouts "stop disgracing America sand dweller".How do we know he wasn't born in America?? The Libby immediately goes into rage, thinking that person needs sensitivity training and should pay the Islamic restitution. In the next second, someone comes up to the flag burner and shoots them dead. Now our Libby is outraged; As we all should be, murder over a flag???come on fool.thinking that the NRA helps criminals, but the ACLU protects the innocent.

Afternoon:

An Islamic riot has started over the shooting, temporarily stalling our Libby from getting back home. But our Libby is not upset, because he/she feels a race riot is a justifiable expression of rage.a life was taken needlessly. While waiting for the chance to get home, the Libby catches word of a protest. It is a protest of whites protesting a protest of illegal mexicans wanting to have our freedoms. This just adds on to the anger the Libby has already built up today; he/she can't believe how racist those white people are acting.

The Libby is finally able to go home. While going home, the Libby passes a school and smiles. He/she knows that no prayer was in that school today, because that would be an invasion of rights. But he/she is also smiling knowing that, without parental consent, the kids are being taught how to use condoms and reading "Heather has two mommies". This, of course, is not invasion of rights in our Libby's mind.you would rather have unplanned pregnancies???condoms doesn't increase sex in the young.

Before reaching home, the Libby stops off at a bar and goes inside. The Libby is happy, because the person that owns this bar has had his/her right taken away to let customers smoke in the bar;see prior never mind that a bar is not like a family establishment.

Evening:

The Libby gets home, cooks a meal, and sits down to watch the evening news. On the news they show that there are Muslims, who work in at Target, who refuse to checkout anyone who is buying pork products, this is because of religious beliefs. The Muslims are catered to and given different jobs. I know a Christian who worked at a grocery store, he refused to touch the beer or their display. they found other work for him.The Libby thinks this is great to accomodate them. The next news program shows a protest of people who want Creationism taught in schools. The Libby smiles to his/her self, thinking "sorry, your kids have no choice but to learn evolution and we will not accomodate them because of their religious beliefs".Evolution is a fact. Darwinism isn't but evolution is. Science belongs in school...religon in church or at home not school.

Before switching off the news and getting ready for bed, up pops some breaking news about a murderer who will be put to death. The Libby shakes their fist at the screen, calling the death penalty murder. It is, rather your in favor or not . the process is premeditated killing.He/she then goes up stairs smiling about the upcoming trip he/she will be taking with their best friend who just had an abortion.

The Libby prepares for bed and tucks themselves in for the night. Just before falling asleep, the Libby's last thought is those child-abusing, religious fanatics at Waco had it comingthey did but the illegal immigrants roughed up by California deputies (after leading them on a highspeed chase) are the victims of the decade.of the decade??no, but I do expect the law to be professional and show restraint. While asleep, the Libby dreams of an America where the only acceptable hate crime, is Christian bashing.

I'm sorry. But you aren't allowed to spew your one sided liberal views here.

At least without being called the misdirecting and misguided person you are.

JOINT bill introduction such as the ones you pointed out, have been around for years.

Bills such as THIS safe water act...currently being introduced.

The FDA (earliest version) was set up by none other than Lincoln...who was not a Liberal.

FDIC was created in the shadow of the stock market crash of 1929, it took almost 30 years for the market to recover. Democrats leading us into the crash, and trying feeble attempts of recovery afterwards forever called the "Great Depression".

Fannie Mae... also set up in the shadow of the great depression, by the very people who were in power during that period, as a means to spur economics and job growth.... Outdated at the very least.

I could tear your one sided opinion from Mr Grey completely apart.... But "House" is on. And I've wasted enough of my time pointing out one sided politics for the night.
