This is a forward I received from a friend in Ark.


>> Subject: History of Liberals and Conservatives
>>
>> 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, Marines, 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 . T hey
>> 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 piss them off.
>>
>> And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self...
>>

Classic Bob.

Mate, here is a contradiction in terms for you to ponder. Australia is just one big contratiction it seems. :lol:

Here, Our conservative Party calls itself the Liberal Party while our hippy, leftista wankers call themselve the Labour Party. - Then we have a party that calls themselves the Democrats and I am not sure exactly what they stand for. :shock:

Personally, I don't like any of them. :D

Mick and Bob,
I have never been to Australia. But in my working life, I ran across a HERD of Ozzies! (At one point, it seemed any rock one kicked over had an Ozzie beneath it.)
One thing I noticed (Other than the pechant for alcohol, and the desire for danger and hard work) they are what we yankees call conservative.
(As a child of the South, you don't know how hard it was to call myself a YANKEE!)
My definition of a Conservitive, is someone who wants everything done right.
Librals, on the other hand...............

Jim,

We Aussies call all Americans Yanks and it is only in recent years that I have learnt that to call some-one from the South that is fighting talk - indeed.

Heck, at one time, I even had the audacity to call a Canadian Sailor a Yank :shock: :lol: He was about 6'4" and 325 pounds with no fat. Did I mention he had legs like fence strainer posts and fists the size of base ball gloves. His arms weren't much smaller than his legs. :shock:

He went to some trouble to point out the error of my ways and it took me about 3 weeks to recover. I wasn't born this ugly ya know. :D

Re Aussies being conservative - Don't be so sure. We got our share of leftistas here. Heck, even our major conservative party - the Liberals are probably more liberal than your democrats.

We had one fledgling true conservative party - Pauline Hanson's One Nation and they had all the other major parties so scaired that they actually combined their forces and worked together to undermine them and eventually defeat all their sitting members. Pauline Hanson has the dubious distinction of being this countries first political prisoner.

This was achieved through some major players from the other parties conspiring together to have her brought before the Court on trumped up charges of, of all things, Electoral Fraud.

Aussies, generally view all politicians with suspicion to outright contempt. They are held in similar esteem to child molestors. Senior government beaurocrats are likewise thought of. As a nation, we have been sold out by both major parties when in government and it is well past time we had our own little tea party.

Did I mention that about the same time, the Australian government took our guns off us. Maybe it was just coincidence.

end of rant, sorry.

Mick, sad to say, America is heading in that direction. If our Liberals were given free reign, we would be in the same predicament in less than 10 years. Our saving grace is our Constitution. The drafters of that fine document experienced FIRST HAND the problems of a too powerful government and wanted to prevent that in the future. At present, we are drifting away from the Constitution, but hopefully it allows for the tools to bring us back to the great country we were in the past.

Mick,
I am don't mind to be called a Yankee, from someone not American. 99% of the time it's used in a friendly manner.
But within the borders of the good old US of A, There is a (Mostly ) friendly rivalry between the North, and the South, that will NEVER die!

Hang on to your Confederate money! Cause the South is gonna rise again!


My (About five greats) grand father served as a scout for the CSA for one year. When he was discharged, he came home to Oklahoma, and was approached by the the Federal Army. He served the remainder of the war as a civilian scout for the Federal Army.

My Mother used to say"He just wanted the opportunity to kill white men."
(Andy Jacksons goons drove him from his farm in the Carolinas to the rocks of east Oklahoma, across the "Trail Of Tears". He never got over it.)

The Yankee Army, even took his name. His birth name was " Ta-ga-nus-ki)". His Army records refer to him as "Elick Hawk".
