Day in the Life of Joe Republican
- July - 2004
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.
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 clean because some tree hugging 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. You see,
some 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, medicals benefits, retirement, paid
holidays and vacation because some liberal union
members fought and died for these working standards.
Joes 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 will
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 because some liberal wanted to protect
Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers 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 life-time.
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 dads; his car is among the
safest in the world 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. (Those rural
Republicans would 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 hosts 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.
