[Lerkfish]

Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards.

He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.

All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe gets it too because his employer needs to offer competitive benefits to hire the best people.

Joe 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 clean because some tree hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.

Joe drives to work in one of the safest cars in the world because some liberal fought to raise safety standards and emission controls.

Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with good pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some 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 Liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

Its noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC up to $100,000 because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from greedy, unscrupulous bankers like the ones who ruined the banking system before the depression.

Joe needs to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. 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 electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republican's might still be sitting in the dark!)

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 so Joe wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad he 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 tell Joe 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 who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have".

A day in the life of Joe Liberal

Joe liberal gets up at 6am and bitched about Republicans all day long, and ads deluded conspiracy theories to everything they do. Making most of the interweb laugh and point at him.

[CreepingDeth]

Day in the life of an anarchist:
Gets up.
Looks at Che Guavara poster. Made in big factory with lots of chemicals, and paper.
Eats Commie O's, made it a factory by a bunch of ladies in hair nets.
Goes to school with his Anti-Flag t-shirt on.
[t-shirt uses very environmentally unfriendly chemicals, much energy consumption, pollution from shipping, etc.)
Makes smartass comment in history about America being a dictatorship.
Complains during lunch how no one like Nirvana or DK. OR Dropkick Murpheys.
Also complains about pollution in an energy consuming cafeteria with a/c.
Insults a Christian.
Goes home on a bus, lots of gas used there.
Goes online, uses many services, and many products of capitalism.
Bitches on boards about the bourgeoisie.
Goes to sleep in his factory made matress, complete with Lenin and Stalin Sheets.
Rinse, repeat.

[LoganCharles]

So who started this one? If it was you Lerk, then shame on you. There's going to be some smackdowns coming soon...

[Luca Rescigno]

CreepingDeath, what's with this obsession with "commies," "anarchists," and "socialists?" You consider Bush, one of the most conservative presidents in a long time, to be moderate. Mainstream Democrats are "communists" according to you. Could you stop mislabeling people? I'm a liberal or a Democrat, not a Communist or Socialist.

There was someone at a different forum who bashed all non-fundamentalist Christians as being "Pagans." He said it was a "loose catch-all" term which, of course, it isn't. You're doing the same thing, calling anyone who is more politically left than, say, John McKain, a communist. McCarthyism was over decades ago, settle down.

I like how not one of you actually responded to a single thing Lerk said. Instead, it was ad hominem attacks and baseless accusations having nothing to do with the topic. Yay for intelligent debate.

Very interesting post: personally, I think it's rather accurate.

BTW, as for water, there's a very interesting book by Colin Ward on the tragical trend towards privatisation of our most important common good: Reflected in Water. A Crisis of Social Responsibility - a good read, proably, also for some of the "conservatives" here...

Luckily, that one (above) is not an anarchist...

[ebuddy]

Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards.

Which is unfortunate compared to his Democrat neighbor who gets served coffee each morning by his illegal latino maidservant. We'll call this neighbor Lester Liberal. Lester generally doesn't have to get up 'til 10am because he's not employed. He's userping the liberal unemployment benefits in his State for a time while he's involved in saving the rights of the Blue-footed Boobie. He is now thinking of ways to claim disability. His children are playing outside unattended as usual.

All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because...

He soon realized the laundromat job wasn't providing enough health coverage and income. He changed employers and through hard work and perseverence, attained promotions and income that afforded him the best health care on earth. The laundromat has a difficult time holding on to employees and they are now considering offering a more comprehensive health plan. Too late for Joe, but maybe just in time for Lester.

Joe 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.

As the glorious smell of cooking meat wafted throughout his dining room ,he was immediately thankful for the Meat Kings of Chicago, Philip Armour and Gustavus Swift who initiated the wondrous market of meat and the mass production of it. For it was on this capitalist shoulder the industry was built. Like Armour who had previously been a ditch-digger, Joe Republican was going to make his way in life without the help of governmental programs designed to keep the poor, poor.

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 had been safely using shampoo all his life and yet knew nothing about the slimey consistency. He read the label only while completely bored on the crapper and found out there was actually human PLACENTA in it! Yuck! He thought. Then he read on and found that ingesting the substance was dangerous. He thought; "now who in the heck would even think of...Oh Lester." Oh well, he said as he reached for the toilet paper made from the trees Lester was fighting to protect last year. The label printed on these things are important to someone, but Joe couldn't for the life of him figure who it would be. He immediately began to wonder if his shampoo was more expensive because they have to pay printers and paper distributors for that nonsense.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because...

He moved out of liberal LA to a smaller town in Wyoming. Ahh, the air is much cleaner in Wyoming because they have a lot less traffic and industry. Traffic and industry while productive and necessary-pollute the air. He wishes the smell of dog crap and meth from next door would subside, but he tries to maintain a thankful heart. Afterall, it's Sunday morning.

Joe drives to work in one of the safest cars in the world because some liberal fought to raise safety standards and emission controls.

He always buys German vehicles because they set the standard for safety. Americans will want to compete some day he remembered thinking. He finds they are competing quite nicely now-a-days because more people were buying foreign vehicles and the American competitive spirit finally kicked in. He is thankful for a competitive market. He's always wondered why is environmentalist whacko neighbor won't give up that 1968 micro-bus. The blue plumes of smoke are almost unbearable at times, but where else would Lester keep his dancing bears window decal and "goddess bless" bumper sticker.

[Luca Rescigno]

I like how Lerkfish at least cited examples of various things that liberals in the government have done to help him out. ebuddy, on the other hand, makes up some stereotypical "Lester Liberal" character who is apparently a hippie and a junkie. Yeah, I'm sure if liberals were in power now we'd all be meth addicts living on the dole while driving our VW buses.

Yeah, a Democrat WAS in power. They aren't anymore. But it doesn't matter either way - ebuddy's little "rebuttal" makes no sense at all, and simply plays off of the stereotype that all liberals are hippies. I guess it was intended to be funny but it has no basis in reality.

Before continuing on with our fun story of Lester and Joe, it should be noted that in 1906, after reading Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, Roosevelt instructed Congress to pass laws concerning meat inspection and pure food and drug legislation. Exposing liberal lies that would lead you from the truth behind legislation are what the conservative media is all about.

Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with good pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some 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 Liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

Lerk, I don't think you know Joe very well. Joe would never work for a union and generally votes against them. Joe saw his friend (Lester's brother) who worked for UPS and was not able to work through Christmas last year while they picketed. The Union thought this would be the opportune time to make a statement. Lester's brother is still reeling from the debt he accrued during this time. Joe often wonders why we'd pay a group of people money for fair treatment. Lester's brother was frustrated because he used to talk to his boss directly, now he has to go through a Union liason and the results are much more bureaucratic and sluggish. Joe left the laundromat because he wanted higher pay and more benefits. He doesn't need to pay for these career enhancements, he has to earn them. He really attributes Lester's lack of success to his waiting on hand-outs. Lester doesn't really seem to appreciate what he has, but wonders how he can get more for nothing. Lester's brother likes to hang out with Joe because Joe is not bitter and complaining all the time.

Its noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC up to $100,000 because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from greedy, unscrupulous bankers like the ones who ruined the banking system before the depression.

Funny how Joe doesn't think about the bank too much. Joe is more concerned with increasing taxes to pay for Lester's lifestyle. Afterall, Joe could keep his money under a floorboard in the closet, but prefers the convenience of banking, he appreciates the interest accrued, and having a card he can use for debit. Joe knows if there is something he does not like about his bank, he'll go elsewhere. Most Banks realize this too. That's free enterprise and has nothing to do with liberals. He believes only those willing victims could be victimized.

Joe needs to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal student loan because some liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.

Unfortunately, now that Joe has a good job from his education-he finds that the 40% taxation is a little cruel. He believes if the government held on to less, he could've done this on his own more efficiently and could probably afford to put his kids through college himself. Instead, his children will also likely need Fannie May and a below market level student loan.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. 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.

He often thinks to himself; "gosh, with the government paying my Dad not to grow crops, we'll never feed the world's hungry." He is thankful none-the-less for the Free Soil Party that ushered in the Republican Party. You see, Joe is an African-American and his father would not have had the right to own the land they've come to love had it not been for these "conservatives."

The house didn't have electric until some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. (Those rural Republican's might still be sitting in the dark!)

Joe's Dad was reading this to his son from the morning liberal paper. He stated how disgusting it was that liberals claim this as an accomplishment. He remembers his great grandfather rounding up fellow farmers in the region and holding their surplus hostage until the State finally gave in. Waiting on Federal mandates would've cost them the family farm. Instead, the State did what was best for the State. Too many liberals maintained positions in their gated communities without truly understanding what it is like to be a farmer and their bills were oppressive.

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 so Joe wouldn't have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.

His dad was a farmer. He enjoyed no Union bennies or pension programs. Nor would he have. This is why he is self-employed. He feels empathy for anyone trying to start their own business today because the restrictions and tax penalties are such that one would take at least 5 years of suffering before the business could show profit. He was disgusted by what the Unions did to his relatives working in the City. He was barely making a living from Social Security and warned his son against counting on it because it has become an open box for the liberal government to draw from whenever they needed petty-cash. Joe's dad will likely never retire because rugged individualists just don't do that. Joe is proud of his father.

He turns on a radio talk show, the host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. (He doesn't tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day)

He reads about those allegations in his morning liberal paper and is thankful that someone exposes the lie for what it is. A lie. We have a government of checks and balances. One would have you believe that All Republicans are one way, and all liberals are another. It took those from all walks of life to arrive where we are today. This post would suggest that if it weren't for Democrats-you would not enjoy those things you do today. Of course this is absurd. For the sake of argument though. Joe wishes his African-American friend would not have to report to a plantation each morning. (14th Amendment for those of you who did not attend a liberal public school system. It may surprise you to know that blacks voted primarily republican until 1935.) Joe's Mom feels the same way, but can't vote on it. Joe would like to take his message to the streets, but can't because he does not have freedom of speech and assembly. I wonder where we'd be without the Department of Justice.

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".

Now you're starting to understand why Joe goes to the polling place each year.

my apologies...I didn't write that, I saw it on another message board, unattributed, so I don't know the original source. I just thought it contained some element of truth, as well as being an interesting format.

I don't object to the post with "lester liberal", I think it took some time to formulate. It does contain republican stereotypes of liberals that are laughably wrong, but in that its consistent and reveals much of conservative thinking, cultural stereotyping and modus operandi. I found it as interesting in its own way as the originating post.

to analyze what is interesting about both: the first is interesting in that it points out how much of what we take for granted was hard fought by liberals. I assume there would be a companion list of things hard fought by conservatives that liberals also take for granted, and I assumed some conservative would counter it with their own examples...which "lester liberal" does in places....

I didn't see it as an "entire" slap at "all" conservatives. I saw it as making a point that plenty of conservatives in this country enjoy the benefits of liberal policies, but don't realize it, or think about it in those terms, but rather just denegrate the idea of "liberalism" without giving much thought to what that really is in terms of their own lives.

Yep, Teddy Roosevelt also got the National Parks underway. There's a term they used to describe him when we studied U.S. history. Ah, it was progressive. Politically, it's synonymous with liberal, with some slightly different shades of meaning. Basically, all you've done is noticed that the Republican party wasn't always the party of conservatives, and the Democratic one wasn't always the party of liberals. Take Woodrow Wilson, for instance. In foreign policy, the man was a visionary. Domestically, he was the most racist, conservative jerk you could ever care not to meet.

[chris v]

You guys all seem a little high-strung today. I'm piqued that you can take a discussion on liberal policies and the right's failure to see the benefits that they themselves reap and turn it into a blanket bashing of anyone with an opinion different than yours, even if it is all in humor. Your humor reeks of prejudice, intolerance and an unwillingness to understand your fellow citizens (or even your enemy). I find this intensely interesting, though I don't intend to take it too seriously, since it is just the good ol' pol/war lounge.

Don't mis-underestimate us, though, or you might find yourselves on the losing side of an election.

I'm 41, married, a small business owner (I employ 10 people, and provide them with paid vacations and health insurance) who has been in business for 12 years, now. The first three years we were in business, I averaged 90-110 hours a week. I've got that down to a pleasant 50 or so these days, and I get to go home and live in my $500,000 house, with my 3.2 children and my 2.3 cars in our lovely old tree-shaded west-university neighborhood. In short, I am your neighbor, and be careful with the hatred-- it could spread.

Anyway, I find my blood pressure rising, so Lerk, I think I'm leaving you to the wolves again, for a while anyway. Toodaloo, y'all, and be good to one another-- you might learn something.

[Luca Rescigno]

I guess since liberals are in favor of things like unemployment benefits, they are all unemployed and leech off the government (even though there's a five year lifetime maximum for welfare payments). Yep, supporting something means you actually do it yourself. Just like how Bush supports the war in Iraq and actually went over there and fought in the war.

Oh wait.

[Dr.HermanG.]

No, liberals just stick it to the conservatives and make them pay for all those "benefits" while the liberals sit around in secluded homes on the California coast.

Tell you what, I'll pay for the wars we have if you stop taxing me for the bullsh1t feel good programs you want to fund. Deal? Because I'll come out way ahead in this bargain.

Yes, because we all know that every president should actively fight in every war. I remember Roosevelt flying over to Germany and kicking nazi butt, while sitting in his armor plated wheelchair.
