Not sure if this is appropriate here, but I thought it was funny.

History began some 12,000 years ago. Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer & would go to the coast & live on fish & lobster in winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can was invented yet, so while our early ancestors were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as "the Conservative movement." Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of "the Liberal movement". Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as 'girleymen.' Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.

Another interesting revolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, Marines, Paper Salesmen, Dupont Reps, athletes and generally anyone who works productively outside government. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get MORE for nothing.

Here ends today's lesson in world history. It should be noted that a Liberal will have an uncontrollable urge to respond to the above instead of laughing and simply deleting or forwarding it.
 
This one looks more like a post for Legal and Political, where I now send it. (And it may then be deemed off topic-- who knows?)

I risk to differ. Cats were domesticated to keep mice and rats out of the grain. Grain is needed to brew beer, hence it was CONVERVATIVES who domesticated cats. Liberals likely just tried to reason with the mice and rats in order to keep them out of the grain. Rats and mice, being vermin, would have been all to happy to agree to stay out of the grain, then gone right back to eating and fouling the grain as soon as the negations were complete.
 
Allow me to share interesting facts about:

Barbeque:
Barbeque was discovered shortly after the discovery of fire. Evidence of fire has been discovered dating back over 1 million years on Africa.

Beer:
Beer arose accidentally after the domestication of grain sometime between 10000 and 5000 BC. The alcohol was discovered to prevent water-borne illnesses and it became wildly popular in the millenia before the invention of industrial chemistry and large scale water treatment. Intentional beer brewing has been recorded as having occurred as early as 6000 years ago in what is today Iraq.

Real men drink homebrew. Domestic swill is for rinsing glasses and feeding your animals.

Liberals:
US style liberalism arose in the Populist movements of the early 1900s in the midwest and later rose to prominence during the 1930s New Deal era. IMO, It was largely a byproduct of a trend towards centralization of authority in the early 20th century. Liberalism is an adaptation to allow authoritarianism to exist in a democratic society.

The failed social programs of the 60s and 70s have provided momentum for a more widespread disbelief in the usefulness of government in the social arena. Liberalism saw much of its power erode due to the rise of talk radio (80s), revitalized gun rights movement (early 90s) and the widespread adoption of the internet (late 90s).
