How It All Started

-
Did you ever wonder how the whole Conservative vs liberal thing started... where we all came from and all that? Well, thanks to SAJ, we now know!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

History began some 12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the winter and would go to the coast to live on fish and lobster in the summer. 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 foundations of modern civilization, and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: Liberals and 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 human ancestors 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 B-B-Q 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 B-B-Q'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 "girly men."

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy and 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.

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.

Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. 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, corporate executives, soldiers, athletes, and generally, anyone who works productively outside government. 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. Now you know everything.

"Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats"

Cats are by far the most intelligent of domesticated animals, and are also the Conservative form of pet. Here's why:

1) Their spirits cannot be broken; they always maintain a haughty contempt for any attempt to dominate them

2) Cats have the ability to understand free market forces; if they are not fed from a can (i.e. welfare) they go out and earn their own (i.e. hunting)

3) Cats are family-oriented, being prodigious breeders and excellent providers of their families once birthed

4) Cats are very independent; you never have to take a cat out to void its bodily waste or bathe them---they take care of their own business instead of relying on outside forces (i.e. government intervention) to take care of them

5) Cats tend to be libertarian, fighting any attempt to abridge their rights

6) Cats are highly intelligent; they will not do things like run themselves to death, or drink too much water for their own good---they show a temperance that more "liberal" animals are incapable of doing

7) Cats have innate dignity and do not feel the need to make obsequious gestures (such as "tricks" and "fetch") to gain favors; they are also immune to lobbying for such demeaning activities; they "bow to no throne"

8) Cats are territorial, and will fight to protect their "nation-state" against all comers. They patrol their territories constantly, keeping secure borders

9) Cats are very sanitary animals, constantly washing themselves and not allowing excessive hair to grow on themselves (they are not hippies, after all...)

10) Cats rarely make vocal protests, but instead prefer to fight a war using guerilla tatctics, such as wetting on furniture, to achieve their ends. They understand the effectiveness of brute force and are not afraid to use it. A cat NEVER runs with his tail between his legs if you yell "Bad cat!"

Contrast all of this with dogs, and you will see why cats are conservatives and dogs are liberals.

And remember: Cat starts with a "C" for Conservative, while Dog starts with a "D" for Democrat.

Thus endeth the sermon.

Some cats may be Conservative... but most dogs are NOT liberals.

Dogs have sincerity and intense loyalty... qualities not evident in the liberal species.

Our menagerie includes S I X cats... one dog (albeit a 120 pounder)... and two birds.

A lifelong disliker of cats, I have been compelled to agree to a truce of sorts... and an uneasy alliance has sprang up- leading to grudging respect on both sides.

My dog is definitely a red stater... good natured, honest, very strong, wears his heart on his sleeve, and cares for nothing but his family!

Sure he's a baby and prone to begging... but he is also always ready to go to battle for what is right!

Dogs are servile, and loyal to a fault; they are incapable of discriminating when their owners are screwing them over. Cats don't tolerate such treatment.

Dogs also take physical abuse from their owners (if the owner is a scumbag) in ways that cats will not. Cats are smart enough to bolt from the scene, whereas a dog will stick around for awhile---a canine version of the Battered Child Syndrome.

I find it interesting to note that whereas there is historical precedence for the eating of dogs (some Oriental cultures, as well as some Native Americans), there are no such precedents for the consumption of cat meat. Perhaps the inherent worth of cats is greater than that of the lowly dog, which is, after all, nothing more than a beat-down wolf...?

And, in the Bible, there are never lines like, "As the cat returns to his vomit," or insults like, "Cat of a Philistine! Why dost thou..." etc. Why? An interesting question, indeed...

Oh, and by the way...

I am a very conservative individual, but I prefer Guiness Stout to a "domestic" (some would say, "domesticated") beer like Budweiser.
Whatever other points the article makes, there is absolutely no denying that our European cousins have us far outclassed when it comes to beer, with only rare exceptions found among the microbreweries.

In fact, I have a bottle of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout chilling in the fridge as we speak, with a suitable pint glass in the freezer beckoning for my attention...
