Got this in an email today - pretty gutsy. Some things I think are a funny play on stereotypes, some seem eerily true, and some are ridiculously false. What's your take?
Read on....
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 sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy. If a liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.
If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a person of color is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.
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. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)
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.
If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed. If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.
If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended".

environmental policies regarding fuel economy and alternative energy but only as independence from oil will make us less subservient to the Arabs who use our money to fund our enemies. I still don't see how unrestricted free trade with communist countries helps us and think the WTC and free trade are harmful. Also, that if banks get special treatment-like borrowing from the fed at .15% and then buying t-bonds at 2 1/2% then yeah, the same government has the right to rein in their abusive practices-including rapacious pay. So, I guess I have no party or affiliation. Am I conservative or liberal?
