A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so
many others her age, she considered herself to be a very Liberal
Democrat, 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
Republican, 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
Republican party.' If anyone has a better explanation of the difference
between Republicans and Democrats I'm all ears.
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 homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
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!)

Depends on how what I'm referencing most times, is gods (non-Christian) in general I use lowercase, if referencing God of the bible then I try to remember to capitalize it.

... Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"
She replied, "Audrey's barely getting by. She has to work three jobs just to afford tuition, so she has no time to study. And even when she does, she has a tough time, what with the brain damage she got as a kid from living over that Superfund site that was supposed to be cleaned up until the Superfund program got defunded. And, of course, she also has those three kids to feed — I only wish she had learned about sensible birth control instead of that abstinence-only stuff. Hell, Dad, she'll probably have to drop out soon."
Her "wise" father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 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 wouldn't be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! However, I do think that, if we just offered better funding for college tuition to people like Audrey, maybe she'd be able to stay in school. It's just a tragedy that, year after year, Pell grants and student loans continue to shrink in our national budget. Poor Audrey ... and by the way, Dad, I see where you're going with this, and it's a god-awful, horrible analogy. Jesus, Dad, I knew you were a greedy swine, but I had no idea that your lack of empathy ran so deep. Are you sure I'm not adopted?
"And besides, comparing my one-on-one grades with poor Audrey isn't the same as looking at the national budget that we all contribute to, and how it's divided. Why would you lie to me by trying to compare the two as if they were the same? Why, Daddy? Why?"
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the Republican party."

Notice in typical liberal fashion the daughter was not willing to give up what she worked hard for, she wanted other people's hard work to help her friend Audrey.

I think probably the most egregious mis-characterization in the chain letter is the claim that all liberal vegetarians want to ban meat. The few that have made those sorts of moves in the past should be looked at as extremists and are definitely not the norm, even in very liberal vegetarian circles.
