I'm stealing this from another board. Thought it was funny and true as Hell.
A Day in the Life of Joe Republican
Joe gets up at 6:00 am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of clean, fluoridated drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards.
After his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought for the FDA to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $20.00 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers negotiated with their employers for paid medical insurance. Now Joe gets it, too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some 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 cleaner because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to reduce pollution.
He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees. Again, it was some liberal who fought for public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to travel around his city (and relieves traffic congestion and air pollution).
Joe begins his work day: He has a good job with decent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer meets 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 worker's compensation or an unemployment check because some Liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune at work.
It's noon; Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers such as those who ruined the banking system before the depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
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 to Dad's; his car is among the safest ever made because some liberal fought for car safety standards.
He arrives at his boyhood home. He 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 dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself after decades of work so that Joe wouldn't have to. After his visit with his dad, Joe gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show, the host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that his 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 and I believe everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have
