Welcome to the Conservative Party

H/t: Jack's Newswatch

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a good NDP-er, and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father.

He responded by asking her how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?”

She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA . She is so popular on campus, college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.”

Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, “That wouldn’t be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the Conservative Party”.

Conservatives are self serving, greedy hypocrits who care not one wit for their Country or their fellow man. Have you ever met a Conservative who hates medicare - yes of course, they ALL do - it's a "socialist" plot; have you ever met a Conservative who does not use medicare - of course not, they all do because a) it's their "right" and b) they're utter self serving greedy hypocrits! Liberals have made Canada` what it is - Tories have done nothing but attmpt to destroy the Country!

Way to go!
In fact, the earlier we educate our kids about liberals, the safer they'll be.
It is quite ironic that the college professors, who largely live on the state handout and whose well being depends on our taxes and our kids' tuition have a nerve to try to spoil the kids with all this liberal bullshit. Albeit, we can do nothing about it - it is impossible to get a tenure, unless one is liberal.
So, we have to bullet-proof our kids' mind since early childhood. They have to be ready to withstand the 24x7 liberal media propaganda and on-campus direct brainwashing.
