http://confessionsofalibertine.blog-city.com/joe_republican_should_thank_a_liberal.htmJoe Republican 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
tree-hugging 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 stupid commie 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 girly-man 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 crybaby 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 environmentalist wacko liberal fought
for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks on
the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-
subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking
and transportation fees because some fancy-pants 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 and vacation because some lazy
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 stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home
because of his temporary misfortune.
Joe likes to email his friends. He likes to talk on the phone. He is
secure in his knowledge that everything he says in the email and on
the phone is secure and that no one is listening in or reading his
mail because those commie liberal constitution framers believed that
Joe had the right to privacy. It is noontime and Joe needs to make a
bank deposit so he can pay some bills.
Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless
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 elitist 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 secure in his walk to the bank with the knowledge that no
police agency has the right to arrest and jail him without due process
and probable cause. He has the right to an attorney, a jury of his
peers and to be brought before a magistrate in a timely fashion. His
family has the right to know he has been arrested. Again Joe can thank
those commie constitution framers.
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 America-hating
liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer
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 big-government 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 wine-drinking, cheese-
eating 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 the 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."
