With elections coming up, we should all decide.



How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans and
Southern Republicans?

The answer can be found by posing the following question:



You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small
children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes
around the corner. He locks eyes with you, screams obscenities,
raises the knife and charges. You are carrying a Glock .40, and you
are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and
your family. What do you do?

Democrat's Answer:



Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!

Does the man look poor or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

Could we run away?

What does my wife think?

What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of
his hand?

What does the law say about this situation?

Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway and what kind of message does
this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to
wound me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away
while he was stabbing me?

Should I call 9-1-1?

Why is the street so deserted?

We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a
happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

This is all so confusing!

I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come
to a consensus.

Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy: Were those the Winchester Silver
Tips?"

"No, Sweetie, they were semi-wadcutters. Think I should reload and shoot
him some more just to be sure?"
