> If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
> If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

> If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
> A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

> If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
> Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

> If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
> A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
