Thank you for helping me mow the lawn. What kind of chocolate bar do you want? The reason I am buying you a chocolate bar is you assisted me with my tasks. You earned the chocolate bar. The reason I am not buying your brother or your sister a chocolate bar is that they didn’t help. This is an important lesson in life. If you want something, you must earn it.
Here comes mommy. Mommy is a liberal. Mommy wants you to share your chocolate bar equally with your brother and your sister. Now that she is gone, I want to reiterate, it is your chocolate bar and you decide what to do with it. Any decision is fine with me. Let me point out one thing. Your sister has a broken leg and I believe she wanted to help but couldn’t. She hung around the whole time. I agree, I think you should give her a piece. This is an important lesson in life. It is noble to help those who can’t help themselves.
We’ll continue tomorrow.
Right on

You shouldn't teach wrong things to your children.
ReplyDeleteYes. That's why they're being taught NOT to be liberals!
ReplyDeleteAs an aside there is probably little point in teaching your kids to mow the lawms as by the time they grow up lawns will no longer be allowed. And lawn mowers with their emmisions and fuel consumption will be only be seen in museums!
ReplyDeletethe better analogy is the student that comes home from university with straight A's and a head filled with socialist rhetoric.
ReplyDeleteShe berates her family for being capitalists and believes that the fellow on welfare should receive the same money as her dad who works very long hours.
He then inquires about her roomate who has spent her year having fun. Her grades are C's and D's. The father asks how it went when the daughter went to see the registrar.
Puzzled the daughter asked why she would want to see the registrar. The father replied that obviously she would want to share her A's with her roomate. Appalled the daughter said she earned those A's while her friend fooled around and they were hers.
Exactly said the father. Just as that money is mine and why should I share it with someone who isn't making any effort.
The daughter went back to school a conservative. Cheers.
So much hate.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that "liberalism" is equated with full-on communism. If you think liberals believe everything should be shared, you guys are lost in your own rhetoric.
ReplyDeleteA far better lesson would have been about respecting the views of others, that those who seem different from you usually have more in common with you than you'd think, and that the world is not full of black and white but instead shades of gray.
ReplyDeleteWhat hate?
ReplyDelete"A far better lesson would have been about respecting the views of others..."
ReplyDeleteI can respect the views of others, as long as they respect the fact they won't be getting a piece of my chocoloate bar unless they goddamned well earned it.
Here's a good one. Snatched it from a comment made by East of Eden, from the link at the bottom.
ReplyDelete"This little joke says it all:
I was talking to the little girl of one of my friends and she said that she wanted to be Prime Minister one day. Both her parents, NDP supporters, were standing there so I asked her; 'if you were Prime Minister, what is the first thing you would do'?
'I'd give houses to all of the homeless people', she replied.
'A worthy goal, indeed. You don't have to wait until you're Prime Minister to do that. Come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard. I'll give you $50 which you can take to the corner where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to put toward a house'.
She thought about it and then said 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come to your house, do the work, and earn the $50, himself'?
'And I said: Welcome to the Conservative Party'.
Her parents are still not talking to me." ~ East of Eden

C'mon give your non-working children a bailout! It's the conservative way.
