		<description>OMR,

Wot&#039;s the old joke??

How do you turn a liberal into a conservative?

Two ways:

1.  Mug him
2.  Get him a job

As people get older, they generally have more wealth.  Since they have wealth to &quot;protect&quot;, they generally get more conservative.

Also, those with more education tend to vote conservative.  Again, the &quot;educated&quot; (or what passes for it today) tend to get the better jobs and accumulate more wealth.

Those with little or no wealth can &quot;take chances&quot;.  Hence the Democrats pushed to allow 18 year olds to vote--knowing the young tend to be liberal and vote democratic.  They push for higher welfare, courting the &quot;poor&quot; vote.  They push for &quot;more&quot; immigration--same reason.

It&#039;s easy to vote for higher taxes and more government benefits if you&#039;re not paying for them.  Wot&#039;s the old story??

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul will always have the support of Paul.

always,

		<description>LOL resident Liberal LOL, I think most liberals would be horrified to know I was counted in their ranks.  When I was in Jr High school I forged my fathers name on a petition to pardon Lt. Col. Oliver North lol.  Most people get more conservative as they age and I have done the opposite.</description>

		<description>Cherie,

Youse sed:

&quot;One person makes themselves so valuable, their boss pays for their maternity leave. Another PROTESTS their way into a job and maternity leave. That is the type of difference I am talking about.&quot;

If you want to have &quot;some fun&quot; with a &quot;liberal&quot;, try this:

First, ask them if they believe in &quot;equal pay for equal work&quot;.

Invariably, they will say &quot;YES!&quot;, quite decisively.

Then ask, Do you believe in the company providing child care facillities for workers with small children?&quot;

Invariably, they will say &quot;YES!&quot;, quite decisively.

Then say, &quot;Well, if the person with the child is getting their child care paid for, aren&#039;t they making more money than the person without the child?  I mean, if they are doing the same work, should they not be paid the same?&quot;

While they are muttering, you can ask, &quot;Should the company pay the insurance premiums for a worker&#039;s family?&quot;

Again, the answer is invariably, &quot;YES!&quot;

Then ask, &quot;In that case, isn&#039;t the married person with kids being paid more than the married person without kids who is being paid more than the unmarried person?  If they are doing the same work, should they not be paid the same?

I&#039;ve had a lot of fun with those statements.  Unfortunately, they are often wasted on liberals since they have no sense of logic.

It&#039;s like I was discoursing with OMR.  We have a mish mash of laws, rules, and regulations which are often contradictory and mutually antagonistic.  Clearly, if there were some ethical or moral foundation to the situation, it would be obvious that both sets of &quot;opinions&quot; could not be held simultaneously.  Doublethink,anyone?


rebel without a job,

		<description>Linda,

 I do not agree that what I do is any of their business, barring robbery, murder, and treason…in which case Congress should be in a great deal of trouble

That&#039;s why they&#039;re trying to get the ten commandents taken down in the halls of Congress.  The claim is that it makes a hostile work place.  :)

		<description>Cheri, what a lot you have added to a very interesting, passionate discussion I missed, somehow!  OMR, aka Eric, is our resident Liberal, but he is atypical because he can think AND he is willing to discuss issues...and even change his mind when we have better facts and philosophies.  Tony is one of my heroes.  So bright, so articulate, so rational.  A terrible flirt, of course.  My &quot;sin&quot; in modern America is that I want to be responsible for my own decisions, and I&#039;m willing to take the punishment the laws of nature dole out if they are bad ones.  I am NOT willing to agree that the government or other groups should be making my choices, I do not agree that they can do so better than I can, and I do not agree that what I do is any of their business, barring robbery, murder, and treason...in which case Congress should be in a great deal of trouble.  I howl with fury daily over the sacred handicapped parking places.  Yes, decent people are kind to those who are less fortunate, but equal treatment before the law.  Until I have a reserved space in front of every business and building in America, no one else is entitled to one, either.  Great work, all of you, and my apologies for missing all the fun.  LBT</description>
