How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans, andSoutherners? Answer: Pose the following question:You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two smallchildren. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comesaround the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises theknife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 40, and you are an expertshot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.What do you do? Democrat Answer:Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the manlook poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that wouldinspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? Whatabout the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club ! and knockthe 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 carryinga loaded gun anyway,and what kind of message does this send to societyand 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 woundme? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get awaywhile he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street sodeserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and makethis a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for afew days and try to come to a consensus. Republican Answer:BANG! Southerner's Answer:BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click...(sounds of reloading)BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click... Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips?"
