Conservatism 101 For Those Not Paying Attention
Written on November 26, 2011 by Lloyd Marcus
You and I are politically well informed. But there are many Americans like my family who do not follow politics as closely as we do. Their political views are shaped by liberal media bias hit pieces, spin and sound bites.
99.9 % of my family are democrats because Marcus family traditional taught us the democrats are "for the little guy". Republicans are "rich white racists". Liberal media and the Democratic Party jointly support and promote this silly simple lie which still wins the democrats 95% of the black vote.
Despite me, the eldest of his five children being a black conservative tea party Republican, my 84 year old dad's negative view of Republicans remains steadfast. Dad tolerates my baffling political views because he loves me.
However, I would not be surprised if my family scheduled an intervention. A black van pulls up, a hood is thrown over my head and I'm carted off to an undisclosed location. I am denied food, water, bathroom privileges and subjected to video of Obama speeches 24/7 until I break.
It occurred to me that my family like many Americans are probably clueless regarding the truth of what it means to be a liberal and a conservative. Ironically, the majority of my family lives extremely responsible "conservative" lives. They go to work every day, serve their communities, attend church and raise their kids. And yet, the liberal media has lead them to believe the term "conservative" equals evil white racist.
So, I would like to offer my family and others a little "Conservatism 101". For fun, let's call it "Conservatism for Dummies".
Let us begin with a parable.
Tale of Two Dads- School is Difficult and Little Johnny Wishes to Stay Home.
Little Johnny says, "Dad I don't want to go to school. The kids are mean and the work is too hard!"
Liberal Dad replies, "I know just how you feel son. School was no picnic for me either. Stay home today".
Conservative Dad replies, "Boy, you had better get your butt out of that bed and get ready for school. I'll talk to the principal and your teachers to work out any problems. An education is vital to your future success and happiness. I'm forcing you to go to school because I love you!"
I am not suggesting Liberal Dad does not love his child. But Liberal Dad's attempt to be his child's friend rather than a responsible parent is a spineless choice all about making himself feel good.
Patently liberal. Most liberal thinking and choices are about making themselves feel good as opposed to truly helping the people they claim to feel great compassion towards.
Conservative Dad's reply was that, not of a friend, but a responsible loving parent.
Liberalism is a religion. Despite failing whenever implemented, disciples of Liberalism faithfully believe if they can spend a little more of "other people's money", they can bring forth their godless utopia where man is the ultimate authority. Atheists tend to embrace Liberalism.
Conservatism equals true/real compassion; rooted in common sense and honoring the human spirit. Conservatism celebrates achievement and a desire to be all one can be.
Liberalism is harmful and idiotic, while shrouded in so-called compassion. For example. Teachers at an LA school wanted Ebonics to be acceptable speech for black students. They argued that speaking Ebonics was cultural and learning English was too difficult. Black kids are not too stupid to learn to speak English correctly. Also, an inability to speak English is economically stifling.
And yet, whenever compassionate conservatives suggest learning English be required, they are branded racist by liberals.
You would think a "Liberal" is someone who is easy going, embracing a live-and-let-live attitude. In reality, liberals tend to be HUGE control freaks; arrogantly thinking themselves compassionately and intellectually superior to us common folks. This makes them best qualified to dictate how we should live our lives. Liberalism birthed Political Correctness which seeks to control what we are permitted to think, say and do.
Unquestionably, America was founded on Godly principles. Liberals want all reference to God banned from government and the public square, while demanding we display great tolerance for every other religion. Am I saying liberals tend to be anti-Christian? Yes!
Liberals are notorious for setting rules for the rest of us while exempting themselves. They want the government to demand we drive little more than lawnmowers covered with an auto body to "save the planet". Meanwhile, they travel in limos and private jets.
In a nutshell, Liberals believe they know best. They use government to constantly invade our lives with new restrictions and controls. Government control hidden in Obamacare is the epitome of Liberalism.
I hope I have educated my family and others a little to the virtues of Conservatism and why it is best for all people.

I am pleading that I do not know a thing about parties, just that it causes us American's a lot of woe and gives us a lot to think about and debate and even go to war for..........but I do know that we all need to get out and vote when the time comes. I do NOT care which party you support........I will support the USA and our right to choose who we want. I don't always pick the right one, but, I do get out and vote, plus it gives me a right to grump and groan when the one we choose does not do right by us. Not picking a fuss, just sharing my e-mails with you all. I understand that each of us has a say............and that is what I love about the USA ................go for it. jh


For those who don't know much about history ...



Here is a condensed version:


Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer.These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1 . Liberals
2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sittingaround waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at nightwhile they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement...

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs,and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men.Most social workers,  personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers inHollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks,construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively.

Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America ... They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history:

It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.

A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off.
 

[Teresa]

An economics professor at a  local college made a statement that he had never  failed a single student before, but had recently  failed an entire class. That class had insisted that  Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor  and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. 

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an  experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades  will be averaged and everyone will receive the same  grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an  A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something  closer to home and more readily understood by  all).

After the first test, the grades were  averaged and everyone got a B. The students who  studied hard were upset and the students who studied  little were happy. As the second test rolled around,  the students who studied little had studied even less  and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a  free ride too so they studied little.

The  second test average was a D! No one was happy. 
When the 3rd test rolled  around, the average was an F.

As the tests  proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering,  blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings  and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. 

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the  professor told them that socialism would also  ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the  effort to succeed is great, but when government takes  all the reward away, no one will try or want to  succeed.
It could not be any simpler  than that. (Please pass this on) 
Remember,  there IS a test coming up. The 2012  elections.
These are possibly  the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all  applicable to this experiment:



1. You cannot  legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the  wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person  receives without working for, another person must work  for without receiving.

3. The government cannot  give to anybody anything that the government does not  first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot  multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of  the people get the idea that they do not have to work  because the other half is going to take care of them,  and when the other half gets the idea that it does no  good to work because somebody else is going to get  what they work for, that is the beginning of the end  of any nation.
