Father & Daughter Talk





A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so

many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and

among

other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support

more

government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.



She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch

conservative,

a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had

participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that

her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what

he

thought should be his.



One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes

on the rich and the need for more government programs.



The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be

the

truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how

she

was doing in school.



Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and

let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was

taking a

very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her

no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even

have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends

because she spent all her time studying.



Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"

She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy

classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so

popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to

all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes

because she's too hung over."



Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's

office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your

friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and

certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."



The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired

back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really

hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard

work!

Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I

worked my tail off!"



The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the

conservative side of the fence."



If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great

test!



If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.

If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.



If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.

If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for

everyone.



If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his

situation.

A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.



If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.

Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.



If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.

A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

(Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)



If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping

for it, or may choose a job that provides it.

A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.



If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a

good laugh.

A liberal will delete it because he's "offended."



*Well, I forwarded it to you.*
