Some how this still does not seem appetizing to me!

Nancy; you may be onto something!

I'm tired of fighting it; I want to be a liberal too!

I really hate paying taxes! If I were a liberal, I could enjoy more of my own money as I would only have to pay income tax if I were nominated to a cabinet post. I would also recoup all those charitable donations! Instead of writing checks to the food bank or the homeless shelter, I could just advocate for more government programs in these areas. Why spend my own dollars when I can demand that others direct their dollars to MY favorite causes.

No more getting up early on Sunday to go to Mass. It will be so much better to sleep the day away. I mean really, look at the sky, not a cloud in sight! Better to spend the day lying on my back working on my tan then spending it inside on my knees. Besides, no one can really prove there is any such thing as a soul anyway.

I would be able to say anything about anyone. I really dislike having to hold my tongue. As a liberal I would be free to say anything I please without fear. The only difference would have to be the targets of my scorn. However; it will be doubly satisfying, because when you insult a conservative; he/she actually has the intellect to realize they've been insulted. It's been so difficult, pointing out to someone that they aren't much more than an emotion driven, one issue, party hack; and having them say 'Thank You' in return.

And speaking of Sundays; how about the rest of the week as well. I'm really tired of getting up at 3:45 every weekday morning to go to work. I would much rather lie in bed until noonish and spend a leisurely hour or so watching MSNBC over coffee. Once I give up the job, paying the lights, the cable, and the phone might be a little more difficult, but I'm certain there are federal programs out there that will help. I'll never miss another hour of Oprah, and the only appointment on my calendar will be to check the mailbox for my federal subsidies.

Not working will free up a lot of my time. I could do a lot more volunteer work! Of course, I'd probably have to resign my membership in the Knights of Columbus, as volunteering for pro-life events can no longer be part of my schedule. I could probably still find a way to work with the Special Olympics. Although it would have to be protesting lack of public school funds to send such children to school instead of actually setting up and monitoring the events. After all donated man hours pales in comparison to marching while demanding that 'someone else do something'.

Becoming a liberal would be like stepping back in time! No more responsibility! Not for my bills, my family, my actions, or my thoughts. Sleep late, party later, and blame others for everything that goes wrong. Instead of working to provide, I could just demand I be provided!

Barack Obama says "Sit on your ass and light up a Camel; 'cause this IS the Promised Land."
