Did anybody get this delightful email?
It seems 8 years of blind stupidity and disaster hasn't quelled the urge to lecture on history by people who can't live in reality. -WB


History 101 (Crash course)





For those that don't know about history . Here is a condensed version:



Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.


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 foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:


1. Liberals, and
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 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 girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, 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 of their 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, mostly Bud. 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, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots 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 tick them off.


And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self.

2. It is pretty bold considering red states live off of blue states too
And red counties live off of blue ones. Or that FDR got us out of the Great Depression and won WW2, or that Harry Truman set up the strategy to win the Cold War that every president followed or that JFK was a war hero and got us through the Cuban missile crisis etc etc etc etc. But you know, Republicans, they kind of don't know much what with all that time spent dodging the draft and ruining our country and all. :)

3. I love it! Great essay on the history of mankind...
Provided you actually care for beer.

Any way, it is a great insight into the mind of a systematically brainwashed type of conservative who'll use any excuse to bash liberals. Even the ones who cure his kids, hand out dole to their parents, protect their kids from child-labour etc etc.
"You can't make me a wussy, I'll vote Republican. Even if that means I'll have to give up my land and my guns for empty promises from corrupt politicians for the sake of money."

Damn, it's great to be a world citizen and have something ancient like the writer of this article live next door. I hope he never shows up in Holland - here we only smoke dope, so that's probably not his cup of tea either.

4. I thought my angry button was exhausted. Now I need another Old Milwaukee Light.
Edited on Thu Feb-19-09 05:23 AM by Dammit Ann
It's 4 bucks cheaper than Bud. Wish I had known the pukes were buying. I might have splurged.
BTW... :banghead: :grr: :beer: :wow: :puke:

9. That wasn't even worth the time it took me to skim it!
I gave it about 7 seconds of my attention, which was 7 seconds too much. It's obviously a piece of smug, self-satisfied drivel of the type that uneducated right-wingers e-mail back and forth to each other, at least the ones who have figured out how to use the computer.

What a waste of time. Just say no and delete it.
