How long would Conservatives last in a world free of those 'pesky' Liberal regulations?

[ck4829]

When a Conservative orders his maid to get some 'prescription' oxycontin after shrieking about those mean old Democrats, how does he know it's really oxycontin?
Liberals.

When a Conservative eats his dinner while yelling out the window to starving people to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, how does he know his meal doesn't contain unwanted vermin grinded up into it?
Liberals.

If a Conservative hurts his back while clearing brush for a photo-op, who made sure he'll have money so he can get back on his feet after he's done recuperating?
Liberals.

When a Conservative is driving around in his gas guzzling hummer, how does he know it just won't explode and how does he know how safe it is?
Liberals.

When a Conservative has to retire from his job, shrieking about Democrats and Liberals, who created the social programs that made it so he can live without his children putting him in a nursing home or going hungry?
Liberals, that's who.

So, let's do what the RW'ers say for right now: "Imagine No Liberals"

How long do you think would they last without the contributions of the Liberals some of these RW'ers despise so much?

1. till we had a good old fassioned French Revolution.. and removed them from the gene pool

it would be a matter of self defence...

2. You can't kill a bad idea, no matter how many of the people who

hold that idea you slaughter. Look at fascism.

By the end of WWII, most of the people who were true believers in corporatocracy were dead. They're back because a bad idea never dies.

Don't forget also that the Terror followed the French Revolution and that it killed off the educated as well as the selfish. France suffered Napoleon and a brief return to monarchy before they started to get it right.

I would greatly prefer taxing the aristocrats out of existence as a class. I would greatly prefer ridicule and the lunatic fringe as ways of disposing of bad ideas. Stupid people will always be attracted to stuff like fascism, eugenics, objectivism, crackpot religious cults, and fads like phrenology. A free society allows it all but restricts its access to power.

6. i was referring to the uprising of starving hopeless desperate people..whose children are starving

last honorable thing to do is stand up to oppression..

Fascism only gets worse, leave them unrestrained and you will get Mad Max and the Thunder Dome world

they dont care how many children starve or die .. they got to have that money, they are obsessive compulsive and they dont care about who they kill to get it. if there is no restriction to their disease, they will bring an end to the world, they are mentally ill. that is why we have a government that is supposed to protect the people from them.. or we will end up like every empire in history..a mob ruled by the insane

"We intercepted a call from some neighbors in Grover Norquist's building that they heard screams and shots," said Mr. Jumpsuit. "Our unit was only three blocks away and I knew that was a top-paying building, so we acted as quickly as we could. Unfortunately for Mr. Norquist, we had to fight our way through the Mass Ave. Mercenaries and the L Street Love Guns to get there, which cost us quite a few casualties. But the surviving members of our team were at Mr. Norquist's apartment within, at most, maybe ninety minutes after receiving the call."

According to Mr. Jumpsuit, the scene that greeted him on pushing his way through Mr. Norquist's faultily-constructed Sleep E-Z security door was "macabre and pretty baffling, at first."

"I couldn't imagine how someone like Grover Norquist could have gotten himself into such a predicament," said Mr. Jumpsuit. "But a couple of our guys are amateur forensics experts. They trained by watching old DVDs of CSI stolen from the derelict municipal archives, and are actually pretty good. Together, they managed to patch together a timeline and the sequence of events that led to Mr. Norquist's unfortunate demise."

7. Hitler's Plan: Imagine No Liberals. He had a Final Solution for it, too.

Do not kid yourself, these poeple are directly in the line of spiritual descdancy from Ol' Adolf, and may God Forbid it, but with a coming depression and a LIHOP/MIHOP nucclear of biological 9/11 very much possible, they won;t have very long before their imaginings become real.

8. Here's A day in the Life of Joe "Middle-Class Republican" for your enjoyment

Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican
By John Gray – Published by TvNewsLies.org – July, 2004

Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good
clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards.
He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe
to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because
some liberal union workers fought the ir employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe
gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe’s bacon is
safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing
industry.
Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is properly labeled
with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some 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 tree
hugging 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. You see, some liberal fought for affordable
public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals benefits,
retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some 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 liberal didn’t think he should lose his home because of his temporary
misfortune.
Its noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit
is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe’s
money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the
depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal
student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government
would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.
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 to dads; his car is among the safest in the world
because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He
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 electric until
some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded
rural electrification. (Those rural Republican’s would still be sitting in the dark)
He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his
union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe
wouldn’t have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show, the host’s keeps saying that liberals are bad and
conservatives are good. (He doesn’t tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have 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”. By John Gray
