THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MAN

Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers.
They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer & would go to the coast
and live on fish and lobster in winter.

The 2 most important events in all of history were the invention of beer
and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer.
These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the
catalyst for the splitting of humanity into 2 distinct subgroups:
Liberals and Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered it required grain and that was the beginning of
agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet,
so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for them to be
invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were
formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night
while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as
"the Conservative movement."

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off
the Conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the
sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal
movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The
rest became known as 'girliemen.'

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats,
the invention of group therapy and group hugs and the concept of Democratic
voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that Conservatives
provided.

Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most
powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by
the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer
white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well
done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.

Another interesting revolutionary side note: most of their women have
higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury
attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are
liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't
"fair" to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for
their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys,
lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate
executives, Marines, athletes and generally anyone who works productively.
Conservatives who own companies hire other Conservatives who want to work
for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the producers
and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are
more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in
Europe when Conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the
Wild West was tame and created a business of trying to get MORE for
nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history:
It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to respond to
the above before simply laughing and forwarding it. A Conservative will be
so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be
forwarded immediately to other "true believers."

Another round of brew bartender!

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.

One more, and I'm done

The only truly new ideas conservatives have come up with in the last twenty years are (1) supply side economics, which is a way of redistributing the wealth upward toward those who already have more than they know what to do with, and (2) creationism, which is a parallel idea for redistributing ignorance out from its fundamentalist strongholds to those who know more than they need to.

That's it, enough politics for me.
Now let's have a drink

Yeah, and the last evolution in mankind were the musicians who are neither producers nor governors...they are only humans with empty pockets trying to shake things a little bit up...

I'm sorry Larry but you are very confused. Supply side economics is a very old idea. It means that the people that actually work and earn money get to keep it.

The "new" idea is to take money away from people who work and give it to those who don't.

I hope this clears up your confusion.

Tom

Bush's idea of "supply side" economics is to give tax cuts to the very wealthy. That old saying that "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" is so true today. Later, Ray

I'm gettin' richer, and I was poor as hell most of my life. And, when the kids read the will they'll really be dissapointed--I'm gonna' spend every damned cent on my wife and I. The last part of my life, which is probably not very long, is going to be a whole lot of fun!

Cheers,

Gary

I said I was done, but .....

Tom, I'm not confused . You may disagree with my opinion, but that does not make me confused.

I don't mind the government taking less then 1/2 of 1% of the budget, to provide for those that are unable to work. Is it your view that the Governement should not promote the general welfare of it's citizens, including the unemployed?

Do a little research, and check out the disribution of wealth for the average working American vs. CEO'S. The percentage in increased earnings is staggering.

Again, this is what I believe. It does not make me wrong,(or confused) because you disagree with my opinion.

Larry

Larry,

I totally agree that society needs to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. I don't agree that society ie: government, needs to take care of those that CAN take care of themselves.

The confusion comes in as to what is old and what is new. In the 230 years of this countries existence the redistribution of wealth got its start around 1932 during the Great Depression. I was really kicked into high gear during the 60s and LBJ's "Great Society." That makes it (the redistribution of wealth) a fairly new idea.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. Just because we are both entitled to our opinions doesn't logically make them both correct.

Many of the things that Governement does to promote the general welfare are nothing more than pork and a pathetic method to buy votes. I have lived since the inception of the "Great Society" and the results are far from great.

Tom

Fair enough...but

The Great Society, while not perfect, has certainly helped those that it was intended for, and unfortunatly, like many Government Programs, there are those who are quick to take advantage, and even abuse any program.
This applies to both lower and upper class "benefits"

You may not believe Social Security, The GI Bill, Welfare, etc. has helped those in need, but I do.

There is no easy way to control abuse in Government benefits, and quite frankly, there are much bigger issues to worry about then if Ms. Doe does indeed deserve welfare.

I worry more about all the loopholes that big corporations are able to exploit, and avoid paying there fair share of taxes.

I believe it is more wrong for big corporations to "move offshore" in order to avoid taxes.

I believe that giving tax cuts to the super rich in a time of war is a much worse abuse to the general population, than any Great Society act.

Then there is this little war thing.....

Anyway, we have different Political Views, and that's a good thing. Nothing wrong with a little "check and balance" to keep us all on an even keel. You know the old saying " You never win in politics or religion" I think we can both agree on that.

Thanks for a fair exchange. Now I am indeed done..for sure...and I mean it.

Want one for the road?

Larry
