A Day In The Life of A Middle Class Republican Conservative

[mikewrona]

"Joe gets up at 6:00 am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure they are safe and work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers 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 this day. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some 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 tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
Joe walks to the subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some 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 days because some 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 liberal didn't think he should loose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It's noon time, Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposits are federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.
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 to dads; his car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards.
Joe arrives at his boyhood home. He 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 electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republican's would still be sitting in the dark).
Joe is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.
Joe turns on a radio talk show, the host's keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn't tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day) Joe agrees, "We don't need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I'm a self made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have".

[yokes]

or me

ah hell just click here

clickmeclickme

But hey Mike at least you can say you had an original thought right? Because you made this up originally right?

[therising]

Lots of people here do the copy and paste schtick.

While I'm not particulary fond of it, I do like this one.

And I look forward to the likes of LHardy/Biker et al with their responses.

I'm sure they'll have Joe going to bed at night safely because Conservatives have kept us free of terrorists.

Or, some crap like that.

See y'all at the party! (which we're able to attend due to the fact that we have not yet been murdered because conservatives have enacted the death penalty)

No spam or a chain letter. It's from a Cincinnati website on Republican Christian politics.

The author's point is valid. Conservative Republicans think they owe nothing to nobody.

I like this one too.... Do you think its the "Liberal Media" spreading these lies?

[tronix75]

So this is some kind of Liberal propaganda trying to be funny?

mikewrona, this piece is just as stupid as the Libertarian vs. Anarchist post you pasted. Maybe it was written by the same moron.

This isn't propaganda. This is the way you guys are. I agree with the gentleman from Cincinnati. You use of the word moron rather than agrue the point is typical of conservative intelligence in dealing with pepole who don't agree with you.

Oh I see, so you interpret this essay as be being completely factual and not propaganda.
OK…you want to argue a point? I let you pick a paragraph from the essay and explain to me why it is not baloney.
And then we’ll see if my lower conservative intelligence can debunk it.

Of course it's propaganda--very good propaganda.

Here's where it begins to break down.

We're too stupid to buy shampoo without help from the government. The people in the government are really smart.

Who elects them?

The stupid public which can't even manage to buy shampoo that won't killed them--the pathetic morons.

How can those same pathetic morons select really smart people who can tell them which pant leg to stick their leg into first thing in the morning.

Surely, running the federal government is more complicated than buying shampoo and picking the man who runs it is also quite complicated. How does someone who can't buy shampoo pick someone to run the federal government?

The opposite is the case. People are generally capable of making the decisions they need to make in their own personal, lives, but they are not capable of running other people’s lives, or running the economy, or running the world, or even picking others who will do those things.

Which is why I say, Free Buffalo!

Wow, you are probably the only person to have read this that has gone off the deep end in their interpretation of what the man wrote.

He's talking about safety labels, standards, and pay levels. And you come up with being told how to do things by the government.

I suppose you want the coke put back in the Coca-Cola.

P.S. And as far as propaganda goes everything you write is propoganda but you don't want your followers to believe it. So here's the definition from Dictionary.com:

"The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause."

You very definitely advocate a cause as does everyone else, including me. So please be honest and admit you are a propagandist for the views you present. You will present only the good things you have to offer and none of the negative. Correct?
