In case you were wondering what Conservative means
This was sent to me by a friend.
One of the very best emails I have received where it
gently explains the difference in thinking between people with opposite
outlooks. 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."

Thank you Zuzana. I believe in good work ethics and jobs lol
I loved that bear.So sad we can't keep them as pets .
Hilary I think liberalism has gone too far without thinking what its doing.It is unjustly destroying the fabric of society. For example they change the Bible without also forcing the same changes to other religions who continue to maintain their status quo.Why only the Bible?
Thanks Butterfly Sorry I can't comment on your blog because of the robot thingy.
