A smart father ,dumb daughter


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
distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father
was a rather staunch Republican, which she expressed openly.
One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his
opposition to higher taxes on the rich &the addition of more
government welfare programs.

Based on the lectures that she had participated in and the occasional
chat with her professors, she felt that for years her father had
obviously harbored an evil, even selfish desire to keep what he
thought should be his. The self professed objectivity proclaimed by
her professors had to be the truth, and she indicated so to her >
father.

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 studied 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 good friend Mary
doing?'' She replied, ''Mary is barely getting by''. She continued, ''She
barely has a 2.0 GPA'', adding, ''and all she takes are easy classes and
she never studies.'' ''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.

Certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.''
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily
fired back, ''That's not 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, winked and said, ''Welcome to the Republican Party.''

Great story!! Unfortunately the message won't sink in.

Granpa lost it

I say that if you only watch the news and read the newspapers you are influenced. Try reading a book or two and do some research on your own. I hate to be callous but the aging process seems to have robbed you of a few grey cells unless of course you are a socialist. Michael Moore has an agenda of hate for the United States of America. Listen to his speeches. It isn't about George Bush. It's about Moore. He takes his $30,000 fee for speaking and pockets it. If he is such a patriot why doesn't he donate it to a worthy cause, like the troops fighting to protect his fat ass.
