Conservatives are more traditionally the rugged, independent individuals that our founders aspired all Americans to be. That character trait tends to create ambition and achievement. Folks that work hard and earn their way tend to be more confident, more charitable and happier in general. They have a sense of control in their own destiny. They do not fear the future

True, in contrast to claiming victim status and being owed benefits otherwise eared by merit. But that is not the psychological disposition that liberals would like for people to have, since they inculcate this in order to gain themselves and audience and power, as the devil did with Eve.

Maybe that’s why leftists can’t meme, understand satire, sarcasm, off color jokes. They’re offended by everything.

Today's universities are sadly largely the model for what the future would be under increasing liberal control. I do not approve of off color jokes, but for Christian moral reasons, not political correctness.

The bartender said “We don’t serve assholes”, so they both walked out.

Obama and McCain Walk Into a Bar......

Maybe it just my dry Downeast sense of humor...but I found that quite humorous in and of itself...The possibilities of the punchline is unlimited....especially at the Bars I frequent.....

I sometimes go up to the university just to see what is going on and it's fraught with left wing groups, trans everything multiculturalism, hate of Israel, serious paganism and satanism( including classes), false science( cliate change, evolution etc) , name it it's like the "hedges" in the Bible. Has to be worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. Has to be.

I don't like off color either but like you I an a follower of The Way. Some i deal with but a person can make a clean joke sans the nasty words. Do love the wit, and everything I posted. I just love to laugh. Used to do a humor group in state hospitals, acute and prisons.

Someone once posted here that he was at an Obama fundraiser with an open bar. Obama walked up to the bar and said to the bartender, “Make me a zombie.” The bartender said, “God beat me to it.”

That might have been Mr. Wright, who I thought several times was Steven Wright, but if so he wouldn’t admit it.

I think you are performing too many mental gymnastics over an article that is over 10 years old...........

So what DID happen when McCain and Obama walked into that bar?

Ten year old article but probably even more relevant today.

That's why I don't have liberal friends or even acquaintances anymore. I avoid them like the plague.

Because none of them can take a "f*ckin' joke"!

No sense of humor. No positive, upbeat look at life. No count your blessings. No look on the bright side of things. Nothing positive at all.

They're all offended haters, victims, sour personalities, woe-is-me, doom and gloom people who couldn't have a good time even if they brought the party to them.

Rub elbows with those "type" folks too much and it starts to have a negative effect on your own outlook after a while.

So from long experience trying to deal with liberals, I find it best just to avoid them completely and not have them to deal with in your life.

Problem solved.

A Communist, a homosexual and a Muslim walk into a bar, the bartender says, “Well hello, Barack!”

I had a zombie many years ago. Talk about an appropriately named drink.
