Message 22655094 Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southern Republican? Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by posing the following question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife & 2 small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, & charges at you. You are carrying a Glock Cal. 40, & you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you & your family. What do you do? _______________________________________________________________________ Democrat's Answer: Well, that's not enough info to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club & knock the 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 carrying a loaded gun anyway, & what kind of message does this send to society & 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 wound me. If I were to grab his knees & hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have a paint & weed day & make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days & try to come to a consensus. _______________________________________________________________________ Republican's Answer: BANG! _______________________________________________________________________ Southern Republican'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 or Hollow Points? Son: Git-r-Dun Pop! Can I shoot the next one! Wife: You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist!
