LIBERAL VS. CONSERVATIVE

HOW CAN YOU TELL A LIBERAL (DEMOCRAT) FROM A CONSERVATIVE? CAMERAS AT INTERSECTIONS TO PULL IN MONEY ARE JUSTIFIED BY A MAYOR BECAUSE THEY WILL SAVE LIVES. HIS EXAMPLE IS A SEMI-TRACTOR TRAILER THAT SLIDES THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. HE "RAN THE RED LIGHT." THE RESULT? REVENUE FOR THE CITY AND ACCIDENTS PREVENTED. A REALITY CHECK REALIZES THAT A 16- WHEELER'S AIR BRAKES CAN'T FUNCTION AS QUICKLY AS A CAR'S; HE CAN'T STOP "ON A DIME." FURTHERMORE, SEMI TRAFFIC MEANS MONEY TO THE CITY. WHOEVER CAN'T SPY A SEMI THROUGH A CAR WINDOW SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

LIBERALS COMPLAIN THAT HOME BUYERS WITH POOR CREDIT ARE HAVING TROUBLE MAKING PAYMENTS, BUT IT WAS THE LIBERALS WHO DEMANDED THAT "EVERYONE SHOULD BE A HOMEOWNER" AND FACILITATED BORROWING BY FORCING MORTGAGE COMPANIES TO MAKE THE RISKY LOANS. LIBERALS CAUSED THE PROBLEM, BUT NOW THEY WHAT "TOUGHER RULES."

IF A RICH, FAMOUS AND SUCCESSFUL BLACK ATHLETE IS ACCUSED OF PARTICIPATING IN DOG FIGHTING, HE HAS OBVIOUSLY BECOME A TARGET OF RACISM, WHICH DISSES AFRICAN-AMERICANS FOR GETTING AHEAD.

A WORKER LAID OFF FROM A CUSHY "COUNSELING" JOB REFERS TO HIS UNEMPLOYMENT TIME AS AN "ORDEAL", NOT AN INCENTIVE TO BECOME A MORE PRODUCTIVE AND NECESSARY WORKER IN SOCIETY.

PSYCHOBABBLE BY LIBERALS ABOUT WORKERS FINDING SELF-REALIZATION ON A JOB CONTRADICTS THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT THE PAYCHECK AND DON'T CARE TO FURTHER QUESTION THE MEANING OF LIFE.

JOHN RAWLS, THE PHILOSOPHER, IS DESCRIBED AS A "HERO" FOR HIS BELIEF IN SUBSIDIES TO EMPLOYMENT. THIS IS LIBERAL MISUSE OF THE PROPER MEANING OF THE WORD, HERO, AND OF THE TERMS, PAID LABOR AND DIGNIFIED WORK.

A LIBERAL WOULD EMPLOY A NURSE TO EASE THE BURDEN OF A VACATION; A CONSERVATIVE WOULD QUESTION AN ADDITIONAL $1,000 A DAY EXPENSE ON AN OPTIONAL, UNNECESSARY ACTIVITY.

"THE ESSENCE OF GENUINE LEADERSHIP IS TO SHARE POWER WITH THE PEOPLE RATHER THAN DISPLAY POWER OVER PEOPLE." SAID PAUL HOFFMAN, ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS OF THE MARSHALL PLAN AFTER WORLD WAR II IN 1945. HE SUMS UP THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES.

TODAY'S MEDIA AND LIBERAL, DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO MAKE THE PUBLIC FORGET THIS. IT'S SUCCEEDING. AMERICANS BUY INTO RANTS ABOUT CORPORATE GREED (THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ECONOMIC OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND), CONSPIRACY (GOVERNMENT IS "IN BED WITH THE DEVIL" IN CHINA), OF HATE-MONGERING (CURRENT BOOGEYMAN IS THE MEXICAN ILLEGAL), GLOBAL-WARNING, SCHOOL VOUCHERS, PANDEMICS, JOBS LOST OVERSEAS (MORE ARE PRODUCED AT HOME), LACK OF HEALTH CARE ( THOSE WHO WANT IT HAVE IT), THE FILTHY RICH (WHO ACTUALLY PAY MOST OF THE TAXES ), AND FREEDOM (WHICH THEY CONTINUALLY RESTRICT).

THERE IS ONLY "ONE SIDE TO AN ISSUE," SAYS RUSH LIMBAUGH, A CONSERVATIVE RADIO TALK SHOW HOST, "THE RIGHT SIDE." AMERICANS DO NOT CARE ENOUGH TO MAKE THE DECISION WHETHER, LIKE RED ROVER, RED ROVER, THEY CARE TO COME OVER TO THE SIDE OF COMMON SENSE AND REALITY.

WHAT'S SCARY IS NOT THAT JANE FONDA SAYS THAT RUSH LIMBAUGH LIES AND IS NOT LIGHT-HEARTED AND OPTIMISTIC, BUT THAT SHE BELIEVES THIS CONTRADICTION OF REALITY. LIBERAL VS. CONSERVATIVE.
