I don’t forward many political emails. Most are simplistic and extremely partisan. I received one yesterday that I believe comes close to the truth, although there is always a danger in labeling and pigeon-holing an entire bloc. These thoughts definitely describe almost all Republicans but describe only those Democrats far left, particularly much of the political class. They come from Jeff Foxworthy, famed for his “You may be a redneck…” stand up comedy routine. This is better than that.
“If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's offended.”
Well done, sir. Thank you.
Here’s another reason politicians are maddening, something that sounds like it was taken from a satire on a communist country. It was in the Weird But True column of today’s NY Post: “No good deed goes unpunished. A Philadelphia city agency is threatening to sue a man if he doesn’t return 40 tons of garbage to a weed-choked, government-owned lot he dared clean up without permission. Ori Felbush spruced up the eyesore near his coffee shop, and the city is demanding he restore it to the condition in which he found it.”
I sold a wide variety of books today, almost all non-fiction or Russian, until a woman bought Sidney Sheldon's Windmills of the Gods late in the session. Thanks, folks.
