I just recieved this from a friend, it's about all those Joe's

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water for coffee. The
water is clean because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum
water-quality standards. With his first swallow, he takes his daily
pills, which are safe because some stupid commie liberal fought to
ensure that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of his medications are 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, although he is not in the union.

He cooks breakfast- bacon and eggs - safe to eat because some girly-man
liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry and the
Democratic Congress - led by a woman - prevented the FDA from caving in
to the meat industry.

After his shower - with properly labeled soap and shampoo, thanks to the
FDA - Joe walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air is clean
because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop
industries from polluting our air.

He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to a subway station for his
government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in
parking and transportation fees because some Prius-loving liberal fought
for affordable public transportation.

Joe has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement,
paid holidays and vacation because socialist, lazy, liberal union
members fought and died for these working standards and the right to
unionize.

At noon, Joe makes a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's
deposit is federally insured by the FDIC because some godless liberal
wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the
banking system before the Great Depression.

Joe has a below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal
decided that Joe and the nation would be better off if he was educated
and earned more money over his lifetime...helped by his degree at a
state funded university.

Joe visits his dad at his boyhood home - driving there on a state-funded
highway. 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
stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

Joe's father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some
wine-drinking, brie-eating, French-speaking elitist made sure he could
take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.

On his ride home he listens to Rush complaining that liberals are
ruining the country and only conservatives are moral and know what they
are doing. Rush doesn't mention that the Republicans have fought against
every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. And Joe
doesn't think about it - he is too busy being a proud dittohead who
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."


Have a good day Joe
