What Scares Liberals

Just what are liberals scared of? I mean, besides the free market and personal freedom? It didn't take long to come up with this short list. I'm sure there are dozens more, chime in with some of your own. Here we go, in no particular order....

Fox News.... The network that let's, "you decide" terrifies the libs. Liberals believe that only they have the intellect and cerebral makeup to watch news and form their own judgments on what actually happened. The poor, dumb, conservatives just don't have what it takes upstairs to watch Fox and read between the lines. Oh, by the way, that line of thinking is from the same folks who believe every word that Olbermann, Maddow, Maher, and Stewart say.

Sarah Palin....Why do liberals despise her? Why all the vicious personal attacks? It's not like she wants to turn the country upside down with "change". I'll be the first to admit, she's probably never had an original idea in her life, but, then, neither has Obama. So she plays the sincerity angle to the hilt. So what, it's her gimmick. No need for the name calling. Did you ever consider that she actually may be sincere?

Money.... Well, only when someone else earns it. For the most part, liberals have never ran a business, and, no, your one employee, water purifier flop doesn't count. The Kennedys and the Gores got their money the liberal way... they inherited it. So, they have no problem taking (taxing) other hard-working folks' money away from them. The basic ways that liberals survive are inheritance, union jobs, academia, government jobs, and entitlement hand outs. You can see that none of these require any business sense, yet the lib politicians think they know, better than the owners, how to run businesses.

Rush Limbaugh....I'm constantly amazed at how many libs must listen to him everyday. They always seem to know what he said,and what he was wrong about. Or, they just fall back to their standard practice of name calling. Just as with Fox News, liberals feel it is their moral duty as the nation's intellectual superiors to save Limbaugh's 20 million listeners from his daily dose of dogma. I listen to him more than I would like... because no other stations will program anything against him for those three, early afternoon hours! I can easily determine when he is joking, when he is stretching the truth, and when he is outright wrong. Relax, libs, he doesn't have 20 million zombies lock-stepping to the polls. Unlike the libs, most rational thinkers get their information from several different outlets.

Clowns..... Yes, clowns scare liberals. Ronald McDonald in particular. Not only is he scary, but he makes our kids overeat his unhealthy foods! Does anyone with an IQ in triple digits think that killing off ol' Ronald is going to slim these kids down? How about a little personal responsibility from their parents? I kinda doubt that those kids are driving themselves to McDonalds.

10% Tanning Tax

Where's all the white women? Don't worry Sheriff Bart, they'll soon be everywhere. In yet another move to decrease, not create, jobs Obamacare will install a 10% tax on tanning bed time. Twenty thousand tanning salons across the nation will be affected. But, it's okay, their clientèle is mostly younger, white women that don't vote.

The Progressives are sure that these cigarette smoking, booze drinking, gals won't mind one more little sun... er, sin tax. Besides, those UV rays can't be good for you. Once again, liberals step in to save us from ourselves, and if they happen to steal some cash while doing it, even better.

How did they decide to go after white women, the majority demographic in this country? They planned on holding up cosmetic surgeons for 5% of their wet work. A Bo-tax on Botox if you will. One little flaw, those surgeons are rich and powerful. Tanning salon owners, not so much.

The cosmetic surgeons claimed that the Bo-tax was discriminatory towards women, as they get the majority of the nip and tucks. So they bought... er, talked the lib machine into taking 10% from the tanners, instead of 5% from the doctors.

So instead of 5 billion over the next ten years, from the surgeons, the Progressives settled for half that much from the tanning industry. Why? Either one of these holdups unfairly singles out white women for some extra tax milking.

On one hand you have the cosmetic surgery patients. A little older, a little more affluent than the tanning babes. Which group is more liable to vote, or make a political donation? The Progs must have spent two, three minutes deciding which way that wind was blowing.

Shouldn't NOW take up for these women? Nah, no need for NOW to get their panties all in a wad over these party girls. Right? Don't worry, NOW won't talk back to their pimps. They know the Dems ain't much, but they're all they have. Now, NOW get back out there on that track and make big daddy some money.

Just remember, it's all fun and games until it happens to you. And, that crew in D.C. will leave no dime unturned.

I'm From the Government, and I'm Here to Help

Why is Michelle Obama so concerned about childhood obesity? She has vowed to rid the country of this plague. But, why? Does she want to make sure that those young, fat, future Democrats live long lives? Maybe.

In all actuality, it's about the same thing that's behind every liberal cause.... control. They love to tell the great unwashed what they should be doing. After all the libs are smarter than everyone else, so we really should heed their advice. We may be too dense to realize it, but, trust them, they know best.

You might think that the thousands of children in the U.S. that go hungry every day would be more of a pressing issue than the thousands of young tax credits that eat too much. You would be correct of course, but helping feed the poor and homeless kids would require some real work and effort, and, besides, their parents don't vote.

We can't expect the First Lady to mingle with the not-so-great unwashed down at the soup kitchen, can we? No, that's hard, dirty, unglamorous work. It's so much better to appear on Oprah, Ellen, The Today Show, and a few clean schools for the carefully scripted media ops. I'm sure she won't think twice about embarrassing some big boned kids on national TV.

It's going to be all about making her feel (and look) good. Nothing makes a liberal feel as good as having people actually listen to their commands. And, she'll certainly have some well scripted dog and pony shows where they trot out the big kids, tell them what they're doing wrong, hug them, and squirt a few tears.

This is just one more brick in the liberal progressive gulag that they're building, "If you can't take care of your children, we will!" Our public schools are doing all they can to force their socialist propaganda on our kids. Now, the Obamas want to make sure the children know that the government is going to take care of all their needs. From the womb, to the tomb.
