a History lesson

The two most important events in all of history were:

1. The invention of beer, and

2. The invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to
the beer, and the beer to the man.

These facts formed 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 sitting around 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 night
while 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. The rest
became known as girlie-men.

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of
cats, the invention of group therapy and group hugs, the evolution of
the Hollywood actor, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide
how to divide all 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.

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 liberal women
have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers,
personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and
group therapists are liberals.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide
for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys,
firemen, lumberjacks, construction workers, medical doctors, police
officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, 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.

Ah, the elephant - a great fat slow moving creature with huge ears, a
long nose and a smear of dried dung between his legs?

Well done. Just one thing though ... some of us prefer our beef rare,
near bloody to be washed down with a chilled Grolsch if a hearty
cabernet isn't at hand. Other than that only a few minor disparities.
No time now to address them though as I have to get out to the grocery
store for the weekend's comestibles before I sit down to finish my
latest teaching assignment for a new crop of commission salesmen. The
house is quiet as my wife actually still works for a living, even in
her retirement, and I don't begrudge her the fact that it's only part
time. She has a nice little gig with a few multinationals who reward
her handsomely for her organizational skills and leadership. The
liberal lifestyle is good.  8)

Here's how good the liberal life really is - that same wife just poked
her head in my office door to say she's going out to clear the snow
off the driveway. What a catch. No swanning princess type her. She
even eschews the snowblower in favour of a shovel. And now, back to my
grocery list. I hope the corporate hunter gatherers have managed to
provide a nice piece of beef for dinner tomorrow.

Thanks again for the laffs.

You did catch the part about liberal women having higher levels of
testosterone than liberal men, right?

Whatever it takes. Anything that makes my wife happy to shovel snow
works for me. It's not like she's trying to deprive me of my slacks.

Actually this liberal is wondering how many times you're going to spam
the group with this moronic off-topic crap.

According to Google, some guy by the name of Rod (is that even a real
name, like Dick or Harry?) posted the same BS here on 7/13/07.  I
guess that just shows how fresh and funny conservatives are.

I might have, I don't remember. It's not like much on here is worth
remembering. With the mind numbing bullshit that gets posted here its
a wonder I don't repost it monthly. Or I could go daily like the
lawyer or the guy hawking crap from China

Don't worry it's typical problem for the Metoos Club.
BTW your version of "history" is quite interesting. Do you really
believe that conservatives are alcoholics and homosexuals?
