The Fence Test
You can't get any more accurate than this!
This is straight forward country thinking..by
Jeff Foxworthy
Which side of the fence?
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
If a Democrat is down-and-out he wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
A Democrat demands that those they don't like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
If a A Democrat decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".

<<You can't get any more accurate >>
Ok, let's see....
<<If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.>>
All guns outlawed? False. I haven't heard that from the other side. BTW, I voted for Mitt Romney and George W. Bush.
<<If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.>>
False, we haven't heard anything like that from the other side of the fence.
<<If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.>>
False, unless one chooses to equate "respect" with "rights," which would be a fallacy.
<<If a Democrat is down-and-out he wonders who is going to take care of him.>>
Many Democrats do vote for those whom they think will benefit them, just like wealthy Republicans often vote for that which benefits their pockets, too.
<<A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.>>
Not true, religion and faith is mentioned in the 2012 Democratic Platform, and in a nice way.
<If a A Democrat decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his.>>
I know a couple almost impoverished Republicans who game the system as much as they can, also.
<<If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.>>
No I won't, but I'm sure it was way funnier the way Jeff Foxworthy would have delivered it, since he's a funny guy.
<<A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended".>>
Delete something off the internet? That requires something more powerful than all the politicians in the world.
<<You can't get any more accurate than this!>>
Really?
<<This is straight forward country thinking.>>
Okay, if you want me to associate ignorant inaccuracy (or hyperbole) with "country thinking," I'll consider it.
