Found this on someone else's page. Pretty accurate. Damn liberals. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his
morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging
liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first
swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are
safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their
safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his
medications are paid for by his employer's 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. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought
for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. In the 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 clean because some
environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries
from polluting our air. He walks on the government-provided sidewalk
to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves
him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some
fancy-pants 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 because some lazy 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
stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his
temporary misfortune. It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank
deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by
the FDIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from
unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great
Depression. Joe has to pay his underwritten mortgage and his
below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided
that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and
earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.
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. His car is
among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought
for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads.
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 liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong
and demanded rural electrification. He 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 liberal 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 the 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." Poor old Joe. Looks like he's about to get his wish. 4951

In the next life who knows I may be one. Right now though no. Dying is not that big of a deal. My father has chained smoked since he was 15. He is now 80. Still cuts his own yard and sprays weeds with diesel.  4951

Oh no, we tried to get him to quit smoking like 40 years ago. Futile. My Mom has been saying the smoking is killing him for 30 years. He's in better shape than her. 4951

@deltadawn:Crediting "Liberals" only with all the social changes and improvements made over the last 100 years is completely silly.  Both sides (and keep in mind, today's "liberal" did not really even exist when many of these policies were put in place) of the fence contributed to the improvement in the majority of Americans' way of life.  Fiscally and politically conservative presidents and legislators contributed just as much as did FDR, Kennedy and LBJ.  And you think Houston's air is clean?  EmoticonYou think any person wants to drink or any municipality wants to provide dirty water?  Emoticon 4951

@buffaloglenn: Agreed that some of it is certainly ridiculous, but I think it is meant to be, I don't think the story is supposed to be taken literally, but is probably more meant to illustrate that conservatives use a lot of the services they say that they are against and don't even realize it.

I don't think conservatives are against any of these services. They might be against taking them to the extreme, though. Just like liberals are against conservatives taking some of their ideas to the extreme. Isn't that why we have this 2 party system - to keep each side in balance?  4951
