A Day in the Life of Joe Republican

[Sherman A1]

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. 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 water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure 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.

This has been around more than once in some variation or another, but still is a good read...

2. We do live well.

Our lives have been improving in various ways ever since the New Deal. The problem is, so many people are doing OK, but think they're being cheated. They want gummit to provide for them, but they hate taxes, and they hate the idea of having an obligation to anyone else. And they embrace all this Ayn Rand shit telling them all the good stuff should fall in their laps because they are the Chosen Ones. If you try to remind them of how easy they have it, they counter with some conspiracy theory about Obama selling little girls to be Arab concubines. I blame Reagan, of course, because I think he laid the groundwork for the notion that the truth is whatever makes you feel good.

5. The funny...or horrible thing about Ayn Rand...

She wrote fiction about a fictional world with fictional characters and fictional premises. And yet, people take this as gospel for economic doctrine. But actual economic science of laws, facts, studies, statistics, etc. be damned.


Wondering if I should trademark that comment....

6. I read Atlas Shrugged about half way through.

It was so ridiculous, and so blunt, just hitting me over the head with its simplistic propaganda. I had to quit.

7. Yeah the writing is very atrocious.

I got through War and Peace in a couple of months because I couldn't put it down.

It took me nearly a year to finish the first book of Fifty Shades....had to regulate it to bathroom reading because it was so bad. Her books are on par with that. I got through Wealth of Nations a LOT quicker than Atlas shitted...I mean Shrugged.

3. Excellent analysis. I wish I could post this article every time a DU member claims that Democrats

don't reach out to the working man.

[Sherman A1]

4. I believe that Democrats generally do good things

for society and have the best overall plans, but too often loose the narrative and thus loose elections that need not have been lost.

And of course all day at work he is protected from catastrophic injury from what ever machines he uses because some baby sitting government ruling called OSHA. Oh, and after his snowmobile accident Joe was still able to go back to work -and not be fired- in his wheelchair thanks to a bunch of liberals with disabilities who fought for years to pass the national civil rights bill the ADA.


This is appearing again on Facebook. Rings truer than ever, especially under the Trump cabal.
