A Day in the Life of Joe Republican
(written by John Gray)

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his
morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging
liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow
of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take
because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that
they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by
his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought
their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He
prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat
because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat
packing industry. In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His
bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the
total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know
what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is
clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to
stop industries from polluting our air. He walks on the
government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his
government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in
parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought
for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity
to be a contributor. Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with
excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation
because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working
standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer
doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or
becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check
because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because
of his temporary misfortune.

It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some
bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some
godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers
who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Joe has to pay
his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student
loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government
would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his
lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally
subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his
farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is
among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought
for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. He
arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the
house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want
to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some
big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded
rural electrification. He is happy to see his father, who is now retired.
His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some
wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of
himself so Joe wouldn't have to.

Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk
show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives
are good.

In the UK, Conservatives are AKA Tories - the word Tory comes from the
Gallic word Toraidhe (pronounced Toorayhe) which means bandit or robber.

I heard yours are going to ban bicycles to stop poor people getting to the
voting booths!
