A Day in the Life of Joe Republican



Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication.

His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications is paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance-now Joe gets it too.

He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what
he was putting on his body and how much it contained.

Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.


Joe begins his workday. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.

If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check
because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

Its noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. The FSLIC federally insures Joe's deposit because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought
for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal (FDR) stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, quiche-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to do so.

Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show.

The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees:

"We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."

don't forget about all the lawyers that sues everyone and their mother. i'm suprised you left that out. how misguided you liberals are. again, you can't wipe your butt without some federal program telling you how to hold the toilet paper.

Funny how this only addresses the positive outcomes and not the many negatives associated with the very same topics.

Some times the negatives make any good intentioned plan unpalatable.

You forgot to mention that $4 gas Joe paid for, thanks to those tree hugging liberals.

LG, with this busy schedule, when do liberals have time to eat arugula?

Funny, I've had these things at every job I have had and have never been a part of a union or held a position normally held by union members. How does that work LG? A person could rack up 10,000 posts shooting holes in this thread topic.

and don't forget crazy Joe NRA who spends more money on environmental causes than a dreadlocked hippie sitting in a tree ever thought about. But I guess they don't count since they wear camo instead of a Che shirt?

What about the goods these union workers produce. haven't the unions had a negative affect on the prices of the goods which they produce? Have we not been losing jobs overseas because our American goods were over priced?

i would say for every "positive" the government does, there is about 25 negatives. if someone were to write about the negatives, the forum wouldn't have enough memory to hold all the information.

Protesters have definitely been the backbone of America. I'm proud of them and the burden they've carried over the past 250 years.

Wonder why there are no collegiate majors pertaining to protesting?

Thanks unions. You have negatively affected my salary by costing my company more in health benefits, prescription plans and comp time. Thank you for helping me chose were all of my money should go!

....and you have effectively driven up costs of union made materials without quality improvement. As well as driving up the overall costs of health care, airline tickets, and education....without quality improvement in either category.

what worries me the most is that he's probably charged some poor schmuck his hourly service while he was writing this. oh that's something else liberals gave us. lawyers.

liberals don't understand cause and effect. they only see roses and gay pixies and everyone holding hand in fields of clover and wild flower; praying to mother nature.

Just curious.....if not one union existed in the United States what would things be like? Assuming a union employee at Nissan in Smyrna is making $20.00 an hour, what would they make as a non-union employee? I'm not asking in support for union rather looking for thoughts on this issue for further understanding.

Just a hunch: GOPers will say "higher." Dems will say "lower."

Like just about everything in life, there's a good bit of good and bad in unions IMO.

What's wrong with lawyers? You won't feel that way the first time you need one. As far as over charging for an hourly service, call an HVAC tech or plumber.

the idea of unions are good ( as socialism and communism is- i'm not equating the two) but competition drives wages up, competition allows a company to get better benefits for the employee.
