A Father-Daughter Talk

[ajwps]

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and had grown to be in strong favor for the distribution of all wealth in America.

She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch
conservative which he expressed openly.

One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his
opposition to higher taxes on the rich and more welfare programs. In the middle of her heart-felt diatribe based upon the lectures she had from her far left professors at her school, he stopped her and asked her point blank how she was doing in school.

She answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain. That she had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying. That she was taking a more difficult curriculum.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Mary doing?"

Shereplied, "Mary is barely getting by", she continued, "all she has is barely a 2.0 GPA" adding, "and all she takes are easy classes and she never studies."

But to explain further she continued emotionally, "But Mary is so very popular on campus, college for her is a blast, she goes to all the parties all the time and very often doesn't even show up for classes because she is too hung over."

Her father then asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your 4.0 GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0." He continued, "That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair equal distribution of GPA."

The daughter visibly shocked by the father's suggestion angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for mine, I did without and Mary has done little or nothing, she played while I worked real hard!"

The father slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

THIS LITTLE STORY SHOWS EXACTLY HOW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WORKS.

Are they still grading in colleges?

 

[ajwps]

I wouldn't know how they are grading in College. I suspect that one's grades are solely based on how well the students can parrot back to the leftist professor's opinions and ideations.

A man’s liberal and conservative phases seem to follow each other in a succession of waves from the time he is born. Children are radicals. Youths are conservatives, with a dash of criminal negligence. Men in their prime are liberals (as long as their digestion keeps pace with their intellect). The middle aged ... run to shelter: they insure their life, draft a will, accumulate mementos and occasional tables, and hope for security. And then comes old age, which repeats childhood—a time full of humors and sadness, but often full of courage and even prophecy.

Now that was just too silly!!!! There are plenty of republicans that had gone to college and are VERY smart intelligent people. They EARNED their way, and in work are still working hard to be what they are today, not to mention the figures on their PAY, 3 digits.

I do believe, Moi, correct me if I am wrong, but your Republican?? and she has EARNED her way, and lives in a beautiful home, a great job, and has the degree's in her success to show it. She didn't just kick back and enjoy, she earned it. And Jim, well, we all know where he stands, and he too has put himself through school and also has the proof, with a high IQ, which I tend to let him know that he is smart, hehe, but he does.

Just 2 examples of people I know for fact have earned their way!

"I do believe, Moi, correct me if I am wrong, but your Republican??

Yep you are not incorrect.

"and she has EARNED her way, and lives in a beautiful home, a great job, and has the degree's in her success to show it."

She EARNED her way? Hillary is smart but really not very honest. She knows how to lie and use deceit. The Clinton's multimillion dollar home in New York was paid for by you and the US taxpayers. Do you think that Hillary Rodham could have accomplished anything but a law practice if it weren't for riding her husband through his now well known murderous and corrupt rise to the most powerful position in the western world? I believe she would have been the same person with a lack of any integrity.

LARRY KING SHOW, APRIL 29, 1997 - CALLER: Are you considering running for office in the future?

H CLINTON: No, no.

KING: At all?

H CLINTON: No.

KING: No circumstance under which you would?

H CLINTON: Not that I can imagine. That is not anything I have ever thought of for myself...

Two years later she was running for Senate.

So much for her pulic pronouncements for not running in '04

"She didn't just kick back and enjoy, she earned it. And Jim, well, we all know where he stands, and he too has put himself through school and also has the proof, with a high IQ, which I tend to let him know that he is smart, hehe, but he does."

No Hillary didn't just kick-back, she earned it the hard way. In the beds of her professors.

A mugwump is a person educated beyond her intellect.

Hillary wrote a term paper postive to the American conservative movement. She dedicated it to her parents, “who have always taught me to be an individual.” She was a Goldwater supporter in 1964 and had “strong anti-Communist views,” she says. She also got deeply involved in the United Methodist Church, which “opened my eyes and heart to the needs of others…” Her conservative views persisted, however, into the time that she entered Wellesley College in 1965, where she served as president of the college’s Young Republicans during her freshman year. However, she says that she began having more doubts about the war against communism in Vietnam-doubts fed by a Methodist magazine she was receiving at college, as well as reports in the New York Times. Later she became the socialist liberal we see today.

This woman uses whatever is necessary to get what and where she wants.

So spot on.
The free shit party will never change

 

[rightwinger]

The Republican Party fights to make sure that only certain students get access to that 4.0 average.
Other students are told they can’t afford that college, that colleges are only for the elite, that those with “connections” get preference

Democrats are about equal opportunity for all

Sadly, you are correct. The GOP has given in to popularism to the point of expanding debt and entitlement spending just like the DEMS. That is why I no longer associate with a party. Fortunately here in Colorado, there is no need to have a party affiliation.

Unaffiliated? You can vote in Colorado’s 2018 party primaries. But should the party you choose be public information?
Next year, unaffiliated voters —the state’s largest voting bloc—for the first time will be able to help choose the Democratic or Republican nominee in a Colorado governor’s race while still remaining unaffiliated.

That’s because voters last year passed a ballot measure allowing those who choose not to join a political party to participate in the party primaries. Unaffiliated voters, however, can only pick one primary to vote in— they can’t vote in both.

Steady there rightwinger. All people having access to higher Ed has created a generation of young Americans with student debt that will keep them from moving into there own house for decades. Loaning money for degrees which don’t create a sufficient income to service the debt is cruel. Like anything in economics, if you increase demand you will consequently increase price.

As far as Republicans are concerned.....only the one percent should have access to that 4.0 average

It was liberals who got her in

The college system today is full of graft. Many of the students they allow to enroll (that aren't college material) are victims and never realize it.

[jasonnfree]

No mention about her father's unrealistic opposition to higher taxes on the rich though. They and the corporations keep getting their taxes knocked down to where they are getting a socialist program from the very politicians they purchase. But yeah, knock and criticize the poor just like Jesus advised. The links below are from before the latest republican socialist tax reducion program for the extremely wealthy and corporations. Why do so many working class republicans on this forum hate the poor? Don't they realize they themselves are only one major illness or bankruptcy from the poor house themselves?
Below are the from before the latest republican tax breaks for the rich giveaway.

Nice one, but billionaires and the poor don’t really compare to A students vs C students. We are talking about a much bigger picture of economics and the health and wellness of our citizens. Nice try though
