Question  How do you tell the difference between
Democrats, Republicans and Southern Republicans? 
The answer can be found by posing the following
question   You're walking down a deserted stree
t with your wife and two small children. 
Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge
knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with
you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and
charges.  You are carrying a Glock .40, and you
are an expert shot.  You have mere seconds before
he reaches you and your family.  What do you do?
 
Democrat's answer  
Well, that's not enough information to answer the
question!  Does the man look poor or oppressed? 
Have I ever done anything to him that would
inspire him to attack?  Could we run away?  What
does my wife think?  What about the kids?  Could
I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock
the knife out of his hand?  What does the law say
about this situation?  Does the Glock have
appropriate safety built into it?  Why am I
carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of
message does this send to society and to my
children?  Is it possible he'd be happy with just
killing me?  Does he definitely want to kill me,
or would he be content just to wound me?  If I
were to grab his knees and hold on, could my
family get away while he was stabbing me?  Should
I call 9-1-1?  Why is this street so deserted? 
We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day
and make this a happier, healthier street that
would di scourage such behavior.  This is all so
confusing!  I need to debate this with some
friends for a few days and try to come to a
consensus.  

Republican's Answer   BANG!
