A Day in the Life of Joe Republican

I received this little gem in an email from a police officer friend of mine. This explains it all so well that, I am sure there will be the typical denial by the pond-scum on the right.


A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN


Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water for his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging commie liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards.

With his first swallow of coffee, Joe takes his daily medications His medications are safe to take because some evil lefty bomb-throwers fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of Joe's medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some fire-breathing lazy ass union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. Never would he turn it
down.

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 his 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 healthy because some environmentalist wacko troublemaking militant fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

Then Joe walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants limp-wristed freethinkng asshole 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 fire-breathing Viet Cong-loving union members fought and died for these working
standards.

Joe's employer pays these high standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union in. So Joe benefits from what others have gained.

If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a workers compensation or unemployment check because some stupid pinko troublemakers didn't think Joe should lose his home because of a temporary misfortune.

At noontime 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 red wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the
banking system before the Great Depression. He can thank that Stalinist Franklin D. Roosevelt for that.

Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist pointy-headed liberal decided that Joe and the whole society would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. That's okay, but the bastards tricked him because he has to pay taxes. Bush will fix that, he tells himself.

Joe gets 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.

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 New Deal Stalinist liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

Joe 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 Marxist 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. He doesn't mention that over the decades the beloved Republicans have fought to defeat every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.

Joe agrees with the talk-radio loudmouth: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man and a good Republican and I believe all Americans should take care of themselves, just like I
have!"

Can I finish the story? Huh? Can I? Feel free to douche this one too…

Joe picks his paycheck up on Friday and frowns, you see after he reaped the “benefits” imposed upon him of paid medical insurance, his government-subsidized ride to work, his workers compensation and unemployment costs, the Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federaly subsidized student loan, not to mention his father’s house financed by Farmers' Home Administration and Social Security, he has $107 left over. Then Joe finds out his job is in jeopardy due to unrealistic union rules that result in wasted time and too much manpower, making it too difficult for his company to compete overseas. So he sends his wife to work, he too gets another job to make ends meet and pay the bills. His children are raised by a subsidized Daycare workers who could give a crap about his children’s family values and emotional well being. Joe realizes that all the government subsidized “programs” and union foolishness actually cost a lot of money, and that money has to come from somewhere; his paycheck and the price of goods and services. He understands that one program usually leads to two more and that once one is created, it never ever goes away. He sees the democrat plan to create a nation of people dependant upon the government is wrong, and asks himself the same question a famous democrat once asked of his countrymen, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.”

Your response is a typical rant by a misinformed right-wingnut. Everything you get on your job today was brought about by unions....deal with it.
Have you noticed your so-called tax cut that, the village idiot 'gave' you, is costing middle class workers about $50 per week??
Pull your head out of your ass, moron....you don't have to be stupid all your life!!

Too bad moron,
That feller is from your court...hint: he is conservative and a republican bottom feeder.

Are you hinting that you are ready to come out of the closet?? This would be the place to do it....you have the right to be gay....and I'll defend that right. I believe people have the right to be whatever they want without government interference.
Too bad you right-wingnuts are so un-American.

No Justin,
I don't know him personally but, I know his kind.
The kind that is so blatantly brainwashed, has no energy or intellect to research the facts himself and only finds enough time to chide people who present the facts, facts I might add, that have been researched for hours or days.
It is the right-wing attitude...the sheeple of our society...the people who want to destroy our country. The ultra right-wingers who border on communist ideals without knowing how the political cycle works.
Remember Justin, anyone who refers to liberals as communists are ignorant of the political cycle, a cycle that has become the basis in political science.
We are left to deal with them....deal with them like you would a boil....they are a boil on the ass of humanity.
