Came across this the other day. This is so true it's scary...




DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't` eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.
If a liberal sees a foreign threat, he wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.
If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a person of color is conservative, they see themselves as independently successful. Their liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed. If a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he's in labor and then sues.
If a conservative reads this, he'll tell his friends so they can have a good laugh.
A liberal will demand it be removed from existence because he's "offended".

Hmm yes, I wonder what political affiliation you are. I never post those things, they're so cheesy.

Hmmm, kinda funny, but it pigeon holes people quiet a bit. I know liberals and conservatives both who don't fit that at all.

Lets put it this way... If I didn't like something, I wouldn't expect it be banished from existence as that might not be what someone else would want !

If a liberal doesn't like someone, they glare and walk away. If a conservative doesn't like someone, they tell them they're going to hell.

If a liberal is asked about sex, drugs, and taboo subjects, he explains the details and maybe even have a few personal example stories to laugh about. If a conservative is asked about taboo subjects, he tells you you're going to hell.

If a liberal doesn't like the content in a book, s/he debates it until they're blue in the face. If a conservative doesn't like the content in a book, s/he tries to ban it, burn it, and then tell the author they're going to hell.

If a liberal sees a homosexual couple, he will give them a thumbs up and keep walking. If a conservative sees a homosexual couple, s/he will be sure to impress upon them that their lifestyle doesn't fit his/her ideals and that they're going to hell.

Two can play this game.

Oh I'm sorry, have the Christians gone to a new level of ridiculousness and now claim heaven and hell as Christian only?

What?!
I think the point was that to be a conservative one needn't be a book banning christian fundementalist.

I know I'm not, but then I'm not a republican either. So there!
