A Democrat Fable - Caring More than Republicans
The Barber
One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut. After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week."
The florist is pleased and leaves the shop.
Next morning when the barber goes to open there is a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week."
The cop is happy and leaves the shop.
Next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later a Republican comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week."
The Republican is very happy and leaves the shop.
Next morning when the barber goes to open, there is a thank you card and a dozen different books such as "How to improve your business" and "Becoming more successful".
Then a Democrat comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week."
The Democrat is very happy and leaves the shop.
Next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Democrats lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And then there was the barber's union steward who came in for a haircut, and the next morning there were 12 picketers with signs protesting unfair labor practices!
Also, the barber was lucky the Democrat didn't come in on Monday, otherwise there surely would have been 12 on Tuesday morning, 144 on Wednesday morning, 1,728 on Thursday morning, etc...

delftsman3, you have some pretty funny material, so I'm sure that I'll be over plenty. I also liked the photoshopped pictures by tech guys with too much time on their hands. Everyone else go visit the site referenced at the bottom of the post. You'll enjoy it.
