A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words 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 need for more government 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 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 father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your 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's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've 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 side of the fence."
TY. You also!
LOL!
Power, greed, control, agenda's, that is just few of the factors that are more important to those treason POS than being free.
Going to be interesting thats for sure.
It amazes me after the videos showing police opening doors, escorting protestors around, how anyone could actually look into the camera or write an article saying it was trumps fault.
God have mercy on the rest of us!
Last night wasn't sleepy Joe it was ..................... Mainline Joe.
No matter how much of a piece of trash he is it's beyond sad his family would allow them to shoot him up so he could talk that long.
His eyeballs wanted to come out of his head it was beyond evident along with speech.
They don't even care anymore who knows.
From the WHITEhouse to the money launder partner.
If you came to the podium laid out a fat line no way could he resist.
Unfortunately no.
LOL!
Dear Snow FLAKES:
While you're screaming: "My body, my choice!"
Go ahead and include: "My Student Loan, my responsibility!"
When your hatred for one man is greater than your love for our country, you might be part of the problem.
Is it not already a crime to live in any state being an illegal?
They need to start deporting them now not make up new laws as they don't need new ones just need to enforce the ones already on the books.
Reality shot ......................
If students think their Senior Year has been ruined, remind them that in 1965-73, many seniors took their Senior Trip to Vietnam.
Thought you might enjoy reading this ......................
Thank you Bob!
Bob do you happen to have that article you sent me over decade ago about the dentist community?
Not sure if that describes it?
Talked about all the reasons it is so messed up the scams they pull.
It had oil pulling in it as an alternative I've been doing that ever since with success.
If you recall it have the link I'd really appreciate it as I lost it long ago and want some people to read it.

Someone ask me how I could watch the Andy Griffith Show over and over and not grow tired of them… Now any true fan will tell you that the black and white seasons with Barney were the best and although it ran for several more seasons… it was just not the same …. In my defense as to why I tune in is really quite simple…. Mayberry is a state of mind!! In those 30 minute episodes I can go back to a simpler time when wholesomeness and morals and values meant something…. When friends were true and strangers were treated with kindness…. When the world was in transition of change the town chose to stay the same and it was a decision that all were rewarded by….. What’s better than being in a place where when adversity arises … you are surrounded by true friends who lift you up…. The South are often labeled as Hillbillies and many jokes about accents and backwoods have been made but in reality they are quite the intelligent for most are blessed with Common sense and wisdom which is not so common in today’s world!! You see if for nothing else I tune in to go back in my mind to when the world made sense… A time where a sense of humor was a way of getting through the tough times and not offensive…. I’ve watched Andy and Opie walk to the fishing hole as the famous whistle plays and settled myself down and took a little time to go back and pretend I’m too a mayberrian… Just as in “The Stranger Comes to Town “ episode, Although I have never lived there or been there before…I know everything and everyone and you can say Mayberry is my Hometown!!!
