In leu of recent comments... a joke with a true punch line.

Here is a Joke sent to me with a special insight on the type of people certain political parties attract...  
Jesus and a Special Episode in a Restaurant

 

A Republican in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee.  The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?" 

 

The waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.

 

The next patron to come in was a Libertarian with a hunched back.  He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea.  He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus over there?" 

 

The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat."

 

The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches.  He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there, honey!  How's about gettin' me a cold glass of Miller Light?"  He, too, looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that God's boy over there?"  The waitress nodded once more, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold glass of beer.  "On my bill," he said.

 

As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed."  The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up and danced a jig out the door.

 

Jesus then passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed."  The Libertarian felt his back straightening up, so he raised his hands, praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door.

 

Then Jesus walked towards the Democrat.  The Democrat jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me.  I'm collecting disability."

You have to admit though....it does make you laugh.

Good one Richard.

That was funny. I even laughed.

Of course it does Brad...It's kind of like watching football and not soccer. Everyone loves football here in the US, but I love soccer. I don't get down at the fans for cheering for either side of the OSU vs. OU game just because I'd rather watch soccer. I'd rather cheer for one side or another for the fun of it. Don't forget to join for a laugh, even in partisan politics.

Brad Hart said...

Richard, you illustrate my point.

Political parties are treated JUST LIKE sports teams. Society has fed into this ridiculous notion that we must be for one team or the other. I believe this is wrong. Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, etc. all had some VERY INTERESTING things to say about the stupidity of political parties and those who align themselves with a particular political "team."

Jenn said...

Wait Brad, Jefferson was the co-founder of the Democratic-Republican Party and Adams was a member of the Federalist party...

Brad Hart said...

Nope...those are inventions of 19th century historians. Jefferson NEVER EVER considered himself a "member" of the Democratic-republicans, because this was a term used by journalists (yes, even colonial America had bad journalists). As for Adams, Federalism was not a party and he knew it.

BTW, sorry for my neglecting the other political blog that we have (politics fix). I finally made a posting over there as well.
