|  Party Philosophy
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, which she expressed openly. One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. Based on the lectures that she had participated in and the occasional chat with a professor she felt that for years her father had obviously harbored an evil, even selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He stopped her and asked her point blank, how she was doing in school. She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain. That she studied all the time and never had time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, "How is your good friend Mary doing?" She replied, "Mary is barely getting by." She continued, "She barely has a 2.0 GPA," adding, "and all she takes are easy classes and she never studies." "But Mary is so very popular on campus, college for her is a blast, she goes to all the parties all the time and very often doesn't even show up for classes because she is too hung over." Her father then asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's Office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0." He continued, "That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA." The daughter visibly shocked by her father's suggestion angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for mine, I did without And Mary has done little or nothing, she played while I worked real hard!" The father slowly smiled, winked and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Amen brother, I get sick to my stomach every pay day when I see all the money I spend every week on people who don't work. I think anyone can make something of themselves if the actualy care and put forth some effort, but our country has started to cater to minoritys and "fairness", its starting to sound like comunism. Just spread the wealth evenly no matter who does what.

That reminds me of going to the store and seeing the "welfare recipiants" buying steak, Captain Crunch, frozen crab legs, etc, dressed in thier $150.00 Nikes, head to toe in new FUBU gear, with more gold on than my wife owns, talking on their cell phone, and the kicker of this run on story is.... Wait for it... Here it comes... Remind you, this is a true story... These SOB's were paying with FOOD STAMPS  . Yup, thats right. Eating better than me, with more expencive close on, talking on a better cell phone than I have, paying for that food with MY MONEY.Fair and equal distribution, my *ss. |

Amen But, you don't want to get me started on this thread  Reminds me about the Republican and Democrat walking down the street together. They come across a homeless person with his "will work for food" sign. The Republican takes a $20.00 and a Business card out of his pocket, hands the homeless person the $20.00 and his business card telling him to come see him about a job. The Democrat was so impressed, that the next homeless person they came across, the Democrat took a $20.00 out of his Republican friends pocket, made change for it, gave the homeless person $5.00, kept the $15.00 for administrative fees, and gave the homeless person directions to the local welfare office. Merry Christmas Crawlers  |
