Liberals or Liberators? Are They Confusing the Definitions? Or is it Just Another Way to Say "Libtard"?

Scenario: I buy some candy and my 10-year-old son sees I have some. He says it should be fair, and for the sake of a decent article, I agree.

We split the candy, 50/50. He gobbles up his share. I still have some, several hours later.

Even though he's sleeping and I am up writing this, I can be about 99% sure that he will act as follows when he wakes up and sees I still have some.

"You still have some? That's not fair. Mine is all gone, I didn't know you would still have some. How much more can I have?"

"None, you ate yours last night. Remember?"

"But that's not fair, you're eating it in front of me."

"You ate yours in front of me last night."

"But you had some, you could have eaten it last night."

"But I only ate a little bit, I saved the rest. It's still the same amount."

But Mom, you know that's not fair when I don't have any and you have so much!"

"Uh, it's not like I popped back out to the market and bought more. It's the same amount."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. Back off from my candy. Next time, don't eat it all at one time."

"So how much can I get now?"

"None. You aren't taking my candy away. Crap, I gave you HALF last night. I'm not giving you more again now."

"You're MEAN! You're torturing me! I can't stand it! How can you do this to me?!?!?!"

"Libtard!"

"I don't remember what a libtard is!!!"

So I guess in a way, liberals really are liberators. They want to liberate those who have stuff, who worked and earned it, of their property and give to the lazy ones who can't, for whatever reason, motivate themselves enough to go make the money to buy their own stuff.

The problem with it all is that this creates a form of slavery. I must work to replenish his supply. He doesn't have to do anything but whine.

Then, sometimes, he will bring his friends into it.

"I need more candy than this. This is not going to be enough."

"What? That's half, that's plenty. You don't need any more."

"Yes, I do. I am going to share with Alejandro. His parents are really mean and they never get him any candy. You always tell me I should share."

"That doesn't mean you share my stuff with the neighbor kids. You don't take from one person and give to another person. You share your own. And they do get him stuff."

"They make him work for it, Mom!"

"Yeah, I know, he does chores, he washes the dishes, and the clothes, and babysits his sister while they work. I know. But they also get him things. They work together as a family."

"So give me more, so I can share with him."

"No, you share your part, and leave mine out of it."

"You're so mean!"

"Libtard!"
