    Should be posted in every college

    Father and daughter

    A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so
    many others her age, she considered herself to be a very Liberal
    Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in Favor of
    higher taxes to support more government programs, in other Words
    redistribution of wealth.

    She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch
    Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the Lectures that
    she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she
    felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to
    keep what he thought should be his.

    One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to Higher
    taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The
    self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to Be the
    truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by Asking how
    she was doing in school.

    Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and
    let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that She was
    taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which
    left her no time to go out and party like other people She knew. She
    didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many
    college friends, because she spent all her time studying.

    Her father listened and then asked , 'How is your friend Audrey
    doing?' She replied, ' Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are
    Easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She Is
    so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited
    to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for
    classes because she's too hung over.'

    Her wise father asked his daughter, 'Why don't you go to the Dean's
    office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your
    friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA, and
    certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.' The
    daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired
    back, 'That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really
    hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard
    work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played
    while I worked my tail off!'

    The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, 'Welcome to The
    Republican party.'

    If anyone has a better explanation of the difference between
    Republican and Democrat I'm all ears.

    If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

    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.
    (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)
