What’s the Difference Between a Conservative and a Liberal?

People often wonder what is the difference between a conservative and a liberal. The simple fact of the matter is that the major difference is that conservatives wonder first what it is they are responsible for while liberals wonder first what everyone else should be doing for them.

Here are some brief rules of thumb:

If a conservative sees a U.S.flag, his heart swells with pride.

If a liberal sees a U.S. flag, he feels shame.

If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy them.

If a liberal doesn’t like guns, then no one else should have one either.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he won’t eat meat.

If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat it.

If a liberal see an enemy he wonders what he can do to appease him.

If a conservative is homosexual, he’ll quietly enjoy his life.

If a liberal is homosexual, he’ll demand everyone get involved in his bedroom activities.

If a successful conservative is black or Hispanic, he’ll see himself as having succeeded on his own merits.

Successful liberal minorities still claim “racismâ€

Actually, looking at our Congress folks these days, the lines have become so blurry, it is hard to tell them apart. You do rousing stump speeches during the campaign, get voted in an sent to DC, and it seems any newbie that drinks out of the fountain or breathes the air will soon become as maleable as a Stepford wife.
First run an environmental check in DC and second, lets try some term limits.
