Conservative vs Liberal

[Grumpy]

If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this should help you decided.

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.
lf a liberal doesn't like meat, he wants all meat products banned.

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 tries to better his situation.
A liberal wants to know who is going to fix it for him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals want to silence those they don't like, or with whom they disagree.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
If a liberal is a non-believer he wants any mention of religion silenced.

If a conservative needs health insurance he shops for it, or looks for a job
that will provide it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us provide for it.

A conservative will read this and have a good laugh.
A liberal will read this and be offended.

Really???? You get your political information from 5 second clips from you tube. And here all of you all thought I was the most politcally uninformed member of this board. Not even Geo would sink low enough to post this with a straight face (just kidding George).

I like the original post thought, grumpy. Dang according to it, I must be a die-hard conservative. LOL!

[DJD]

I can't watch these long youtube vids but I wish he would go away or the GOP gets controll of Congress to challenge his Liberal ways. We should never have one party controlling Legislative and Executive branches of gubment. The people don't get a fair shot when that happens. Whats even worse is if the Judicial becomes aligned with a party (Liberal would be the worst!)....

Vote them all out!! Start over...

Part of that last one needs some fixing.

Should read:

A conservative after getting his liberal friend to read and explain to him what the post means will have a good laugh.

I'm not a conservative, I believe thetre are two sides to most problems. I dont care for hand guns, own two of them,got a rifle also, and dont hunt anymore, but I'm not against it. If all you guys think these old men have all the right answers, how come were in this mess were in?Just saying no to everything is not a solution to a problem.Sure there are a lot of lunatic liberals out there, but some of these conservative ideas are also wacko.A closed mindis just as dangerous as no mind at all. The good old days are gone, we had our time in the sun. I like to think for myself, its served me for 73 yrs, I've heard all the bullspit from both sides, a kook is a kook, no matter what his party is.

"If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn`t buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed."
-Can't argue too much with this one. It's true that most if not all people that want all guns banned are on the left. But I would submit that most liberals don't really want "all guns outlawed."

"If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
lf a liberal doesn't like meat, he wants all meat products banned."
-This one has me scratching my head. Surely you're not saying all liberals are PETA members? I don't know who else "wants all meat products banned."

"If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect."
-Because what you call "legislated respect" is the only way for them to gain the same civil rights the rest of us Americans enjoy! They're not asking for "special rights," just to be treated like the rest of us.

"If a conservative is down-and-out, he tries to better his situation.
A liberal wants to know who is going to fix it for him."
-I would rephrase this to "Conservative politicians want down-and-out people to fend for themselves or starve, whereas liberals are willing to offer them some help."

"If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals want to silence those they don't like, or with whom they disagree."
-I don't know how you can post this with a straight face, especially when you're talking about "talk show hosts" in particular. The only talk about "silencing" talk show hosts that I recall was about Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell, because of them being lesbian, and it sure as hell wasn't coming from the left!

"If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
If a liberal is a non-believer he wants any mention of religion silenced."
-Not too far off the mark. I do wish more people would realize that we can keep church and state separate without removing every reference to religion.

"If a conservative needs health insurance he shops for it, or looks for a job that will provide it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us provide for it."
-Now THIS lie I do find just a little offensive. When I didn't have health insurance, I paid for what little medical care I received out of my own pocket. Mostly, I just did without. Then I went and did what you say only conservatives do; I went and got a job that provided it.

"A conservative will read this and have a good laugh.
A liberal will read this and be offended."

I guess the point of the post was to be entertaining, not to be truthful. ROFLMAO! THERE! I'm a conservative!

-- Hard to argue with the truth. but nice try.

-Because what you call "legislated respect" is the only way for them to gain the same civil rights the rest of us Americans enjoy! They're not asking for "special rights," just to be treated like the rest of us.

--Exactly which civil rights are homosexuals deprived of? How are they treated differently than the rest of us?

"If a conservative is down-and-out, he tries to better his situation.
A liberal wants to know who is going to fix it for him."
-I would rephrase this to "Conservative politicians want down-and-out people to fend for themselves or starve, whereas liberals are willing to offer them some help."

--Liberal talking points are just plain wrong here. Conservatives are far more generous than liberals. Next time you're down and out, instead of approaching a Christian church which is no doubt infested with hard hearted conservatives, give one of the liberal satanist outfits a buzz. Let me know how that works out for you.

-- As evidenced by the rest of your replies to this thread, your recall is poor. The reason Rosie and Ellen aren't on the air is bad ratings...nobody watched. Rosie's mean spirited big mouth got her canned not her sexual orientation. That and the fact that she'd make you throw up quicker than sticking a finger down your throat.

--Okay, so you're an exceptional liberal. If this is a lie, please explain the actions of the current presidential administration.

--Missed again. The original post is truthful and entertaining.

--Exactly which civil rights are homosexuals deprived of? How are they treated differently than the rest of us?

I would call the right to marry a civil right. In most states they still can't do that, and in those where they can, it's only because of "legislated respect."

"Liberal satanists???" Where did THAT come from? There's a lunatic fringe on both sides.

Ellen IS still on the air, and still getting great ratings. I agree about Rosie making y9u want to puke, but your response misses the point. I still maintain that the desire to silence those with whom they disagree is a characteristic more of conservatives than liberals.

I wasn't talking about the actions of this or any other presidential administration, or about politicians at all, but about the actions of conservatives and liberals in the general populace. Isn't that the subject of this thread? And I really don't think my actions are all that exceptional.

I would call the right to marry a civil right. In most states they still can't do that, and in those where they can, it's only because of "legislated respect."

You of course give it the typical liberal twist that people are being deprived of their civil rights, when in fact everyone has the right to marry.

You could 'marry' another guy if you want, and nobody will try to stop you. Hold it dear, treasure it, heck frame a certificate and put it in your front yard. Just don't expect the rest of us to accept it as a legal marriage.

It is not anyone's civil right to redefine a legal marriage for the majority of us in this country. The overwhelming majority, common sense, and nature itself has defined a marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Even our most liberal state, Californication recently voted down "legislated respect".

This thread is a joke in itself! Bush piled up Billions in debt and kept taxes low according to consertatives. Obama is piling up Billions more in debt while keeping taxes low according to liberals.12 Trillion dollars later, All I have to say is we need to change a law and allow Clinton to run again so we can have a surplus like he left Bush! Was Clinton a liberal? If so thats what I am, a Clinton liberal who made more money while he was in office than at any other time in my life as did most consertatives.
