What is going to happen to liberals when the US has to remain solvent and cut their entitlements?
New York and California are cutting them now.
History for Dummys,
No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power
For those that don't know about history ... Here is a condensed version:
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1 . Liberals
2. Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement...
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history:
It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.
A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off.
And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self.....I'm going to have another beer

Thank you for that humorous look at Liberals and Radical Extreme Leftists.
Life will become very unpleasant for the Liberals and Radical Extreme Leftists because the level of government spending that is required to support them in the style that they expect is not sustainable.
Essentially the handouts to the Liberals and The Radical Extreme Leftists will have to be cut in the near future.

If you mean oil subsidies and tax cuts on the rich and the companies who export the jobs, yes. The entire budget has billions in waste that can be cut, including what connies call "entitlements". Of course anyone interested in cutting spending might start with the 2 wars that are costing us lives and over a trillion dollars a year.

We have to do something...we are not going to make it.
You can't spend 10 percent of your GDP and only bring in 3 percent. It just doesn't add up.
THAT MEANS....we have to cut things....and welfare and unemployment etc are going to have to take a hit too.
I love your history lesson above...hahahaha
Governments do not generate wealth; they can merely distribute it. ANd where do you think that money comes from? THOSE THAT WORK....
According to USA Today, “paychecks from private business shrank to their smallest share of personal income in U.S. history during the first quarter of this year,” while government benefits rose to a record high. In fact, government employment is becoming a method of redistributing wealth. In 2009, the federal payroll grew and the number of federal jobs paying over $100,000 a year doubled. AGAIN....the private job sector PAYS THE GOVERNMENT WORKERS...FROM THEIR PAYCHECKS.
The average federal worker earns over 70 percent more than the average private-sector worker, writes Arthur Brooks in his new book, The Battle: “To find this acceptable, you must agree that the average federal worker is much more productive or deserving than the average person in the private sector.”
Show of hands: Who thinks that’s true?
Yet the Democrats want more. More what? More everything. Even as the economy is starting to grow and many experts think we should trim debt and spending, Democrats want yet another stimulus bill, to extend jobless benefits. (They call them “jobs bills” now.) It turns out that all of that talk of a “temporary” stimulus was just that: temporary talk.
Indeed, the mess we have today is merely the natural result of a century-long battle over the size of government. When it comes to the welfare state, liberals want more, conservatives want less. It seems that nobody ever talks about “enough.”

Reality check for dummies:
The conservative "red" states contribute less to the country, have the lowest level of education and lower average income than the blue states.
Anyone with any intelligence will not bother to put forth the effort to forward your post. It isn't original, clever, funny or true. Just another tired old rant.

Damn, you hate liberals and make quite a few generalizations. Grow up. Bud and Miller are for those who have never actually had good beer. I'm going to have a beer as well. Maybe we could have a beer summit and create some peace. But you probably don't want peace, because it is a liberal idea.

Look at Greece if you want to know how liberals react to cuts in their handouts. Expect it next in either of the two states you mentioned. Not for a while yet but it is coming.
- Paul Grass™Lv 71 decade ago
first they will react like Greece then they will starve or work

They will riot and burn down their own neighborhoods, like they have in the past when they don't get what they think they are entitled to.

More conservatives are on welfare/medicare/social security than liberals, so ask them.

Most liberals are college-educated professionals with succesful careers. Why do you think all the richest states/counties are Democratic strongholds?
Nice try though.
