Once Upon a Time...


...a liberal happened to be driving through a rough part of town.  When he came to a stop light in a deserted area, he was suddenly accosted by hoodlums looking to have a little fun.  The hoods ordered the liberal to get out of his Toyota Prius.  One of them drew a circle in the dirt on the ground some distance from the car and ordered the liberal to stand in the circle.  As he stood there, watching them, the hoods began to trash his car.  Using baseball bats and crow bars they smashed the windows and the headlights.  When they looked over to see the liberal's reaction, they were surprised to find him laughing.  “You think that’s funny?” they said.  “Watch this!”  And with that they proceeded to deflate all the tires and pummel the hood and sides.  Happy with their work they turned to see the effect and were again surprised to find him laughing.  Getting angry, they decided to leave no part of the car unscathed, and they tore into it with a vengeance.  When the car was destroyed they turned again, only to find the man doubled over with laughter.  “Hey man,” one of them yelled.  “We just destroyed your ride.  What the hell you laughing at?” to which the liberal replied, “Well...when you weren’t looking, I stepped out of the circle THREE times!!”


 Yes it’s an old joke and I’ve told it many times before but I’m going to keep telling it because it so perfectly captures the shortsightedness of the average liberal.  They dance and twirl with glee because they “won” on Obamacare, but they are apparently oblivious to the devastating implications to their own liberty.  They would probably bring the wine if they were invited to dinner by cannibals.

  1. Great story, CW. Not sure liberals will ever see devestating implications to their liberties. Their liberties are protected via their power to regulate our lives. As long as things stay the way they are and elected officals don't have the guts and decency to do what is right, the liberals will continue to dance and twirl on our backs. Worse yet, they will be dancing and twirling on the generations behind me.

    1. “Guts and decency...”

      That’s right, Mrs. AL. The other side to this deals with those who aren’t just shortsighted, but who fully understand that Obamacare amounts to theft. They are conscience-challenged, to say the least.

  3. Hey, it's about time you wrote something again. Kudos!

    The thing about the leftists is this: they don't care about liberty. They're adherents to groupthink. They have a herd mentality, and the concept of individual liberty is foreign to them. Think collectivism. That's them.

  4. Thanks for stopping by, Brian. I agree - they're collectivists.

  5. CW,
    Good to see you post again. Brian is correct, it is definitely a herd mentality... akin to lemmings.

    For decades scientists have been trying to figure out why lemmings follow each other by the millions to their deaths. The scientists do not understand why and no plausible explanation exists beyond theory. I suspect that will be our conclusion.

    1. Thank you, Hardnox. Unfortunately we are caught up among the lemmings.

  6. CW, they are also unaware that the ObamaCare decision may have on this election. The Supreme Court may have made this election about ObamaCare because the only way to repeal is to get rid of Dems in Congress and the White House. After reading Scalia's dissent on the Arizona judgment I had a feeling that ObamaCare was going to pass. He seemed very angry and thought he was tipping his hand.

    1. Hi Patrick

      I probably shouldn't have been surprised by the decision but I was.

  7. Thanks, CW, for the fun story. One needs to laugh a little at these people with a mental disorder.
