Human History Lesson:

Division of the human family into two distinct political groups began some 12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains in the summer and would go to the beach and live on fish and lobster in winter.

The two 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 two 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 cans were invented yet, so our early human ancestors just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ 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 BBQ's and doing the sewing, weaving 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 'girleymen'.

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the trade union, class action lawsuits, the invention of group therapy & 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, hair dressers, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented baseball's designated hitter rule because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer and eat red meat & potatoes. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, soldiers, athletes & generally anyone who works productively outside government. 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. They also like to take money away from successful people and give it to the failures. 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 & created a business of trying to get MORE for nothing.



Here ends today's lesson in human history.

So where does sitting on the couch with a six pack and vegging out to NASCAR fit into all of that?

Well thats a lot of crap, although I get where you are going with that it is quite silly (I know it was intended to be) but talk about an over simplification. I know a few conservatives in my own family who are lazy, ignorant, gun grabbers. And I know a few Democrats who only drink Guinness and whiskey and love the evil rifles, a couple of construction guys, a black belt badass and a whole lot more people who you would not really want to call an unproductive girlie man liberal to their faces. the "problem" with this society is not liberal thinking any more than it is conservative thinking, it is the division and polarization of differing opinions. I am in a situation to be around a lot of Democrats in my life and for the most part very few if any that I know are the bongo bangin, pot smoking, peace carnival types. Just the same, none of the Republicans that I know are hiding out in the mountains with a bible and a shotgun, living off the land and planning to overthrow the government to take us all back to the "good ol' days" In other words these are all ridiculous stereotypes that the sooner we can rid ourselves of them the sooner we will realize that MOST Americans are not as different from one another as is currently assumed.

Sorry, but here's another non stereotype example: My Brother in law (married to my sister) is a Democrat, he is from Compton in south central LA, his brother was shot and killed in a drive by several years ago, he is 6' 7" 300lbs and wanted to buy a Desert Eagle .44 from me (the thing actually fit his hand well) My sister the Republican said no F@#$N way am I letting you bring a gun into my house. I doubt anyone has ever called him a weak girlie man "liberal" and survived to tell the story.

I think he was making a general observation about 'liberal v. consevative', not 'republican' & 'democrat', though the elephant & jackass symbol distinction does draw that line. The problem w/ the contemporary democratic party is that it embraces & is increasingly dominated by radicalism. It's dominated by radical ideology, but this is 'progressive' is the term of choice, as the former would be too direct an admission of the bitter truth.

RD6 - you left out the part about the sushi/raw fish that liberals eat being provided by conservatives.
