A dear friend sent me the following little message. I thought it was just funny at first, but then the more I read it ...it started to ring true. I am sure that many of our far leaning posters will not find it funny and will try to put me in my place for sharing it. But it is just too good to ignore.
Which side of the fence?
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn?t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn?t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he'll share, it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".
Since I'm a Republican I had to share.....😀

totally agree. except I feel these are about American people, our friends and family, our loved ones, ourselves. not presidents.
I say lets take down the fence completely. I am neither Republican or Democrat, I am both at times by certain descriptions, at times neither.
I refuse to be boxed into a description. I vote for the person, and if there is no one running I truly deep down feel I can't support I don't vote.
I am not going to vote along party lines just to put a certain party in office if I don't find the candidate worthy.
Foremost I am an American, I really don't care about the rest.
To me politicial jokes that stereotype are like blonde jokes. They are only funny to those not blonde.
Resist the urge to let it bother you.

Brilliant post, Minnie.

Walk the walk, what are your thoughts about folks who are irked by Christians and who don't want churches built because priests molest boys?
That would be pretty ridiculous, no? Well, it's not the perfect analogy but it's actually not that far off from your beliefs.
