A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her

altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.

She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I

would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air

balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above

sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100

degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Conservative."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically

correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm

still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Liberal."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going.

You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made

a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met

but, somehow, now it's my fault."

Here is another way to define a Liberal from a Conservative;

A Liberal will catch a big fish and take it home and clean it and cook it and ask his friends over to help eat it. A Conservative will tkae it to a taxidermist and have it mounted and hang it on his wall and invite his friends over to look at it.
