Humor (and Truth): HISTORY LESSON FOR TRUE BELIEVERS

HISTORY LESSON FOR TRUE BELIEVERS…..

For those who don’t know much about history…… here is a condensed version:

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were:
1. The invention of beer, and
2. The invention of the wheel.

The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundations of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Liberals 2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q’s and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men.

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided

Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish, but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.

Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn’t fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical workers, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . The liberals crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today’s lesson in world history……. It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above.

A Conservative will simply laugh and knowing the absolute truth of this history, he will be forwarding it immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off….

Loboyazoo again! Thanks.

    Actually, the sharp division and animosity between liberals and conservatives was virtually nonexistent before the advent of conservative talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others of their ilk, whose audience consists of people who rely on them for their opinions.

    None of these talk show hosts has any special knowledge, experience or education to back up their views. Sean Hannity was formerly a bartender and a construction worker, while Rush Limbaugh was a radio disc jockey.

    What they do have is the ability to ingratiate themselves with their lowbrow audience, and to verbally attack anyone who disagrees with them. They have achieved wealth and fame by polarizing the population of our country.

    Their followers consist of people who seemingly have never read a newspaper more challenging than The National Enquirer, and who lack the mental wherewithal to understand issues or form opinions of their own.

    They have been told by the “talking heads” that all Americans are either conservatives (good) or liberals (bad). Simple ideas for simple people!

    In reality, many of us muddle along, gathering information from various sources and arriving at our own conclusions. Sometimes we even change our minds, based on new information!

    Hence, although our views might “tilt” to one side or the other, we don’t fall in either camp. We may be liberal on social issues (since we tend to mind our own business), while favoring border control and curtailed government spending, which are conservative points of view.

    We also tend to vote for the best-qualified candidate for an office, rather than the one who was chosen by either party. What a concept! For example, I voted for John F. Kennedy and William J. Clinton, as well as for Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush (but not for his son, about whom the less said the better.)

    This is one of my all-time favorite quotations, which seems appropriate here:

    The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Crack-Up" (1936)
