> A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN
>
> Joe gets up at 6 AM 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 coffee, he takes his daily medication.  His
> medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to
> insure 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 laws to stop
> industries from polluting our air.  He walks to the 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 the same 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's noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some
bills.
> Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless
liberal
> wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous conservative bankers who
> ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
>
> Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-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 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.  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 himself, just
like
> I have."
