The Fence Test. Straight Forward Country Thinking at its Best

Tweet

I don't know where this originated, but thank you to the person who composed this clever observation.

My only suggestion, as you read further, would be to substitute the word Conservative in place of Republican, and substitute the word Liberal in place of Democrat. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Republicans out there who are a not conservative.

This speaks more to the mindset than to the political party. Think about this. It is true.

You can't get any more accurate than this. This is straight forward country thinking. If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test.

If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

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

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

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

If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Republican reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he's "offended."

Well, I forwarded it.
