Liberal: The bloke who buys the beer for his chums Conservative: The bloke who
buys the beer for himself.

Given some of the comments, I thought the beer test was:

Liberal: Beat you comatose if you offer an US beer... Conservative: Drop you
like a bad habit, poison your family, and rape your livestock.

But, I could be confusing OZ with Wyoming. ;->=

" PS Honest, some of my best friends come from WY." That's because it is a
great place to be FROM.

Actually I would have thought: Liberal: Guy who expects somebody else to buy
his beer for him.

It's like this:

Liberal: Guy who buys the beer for his chums using *your* money.

Is there any way to get a government grant to do research into the subculture
of Full Thrust?

The bad news: You have beaten me the the punch line.

The good news: Two great minds have come up with the same line.

The moderate has a sip of everybody's beer. The Radical jumps the bar and
drinks from the tap. The Reactionary demands tries to bring back prohibition.
The silent majority = those already to drunk to care.

Sorry, I'm going to jump into this one too, not intended to offend anyone, for
entertainment purposes only!

Liberal: Guy who buys the beer for his chums using *someone elses* money.

Conservative: Complains about the chums getting free beer that they did not
work for and thus earn (but does not turn down a free pint if you offer it to
him).

This is actually it:

Liberal: Buys a six-pack, shares it with his poor friends. Demands that
his wealthier friends setup a "Beer Relief Fund", eventually funding it with a
Tax on beer, coincidently pricing beer out of the range of the poor anyway.

Conservative: Buys 12 pack, allows friends ONE beer each, then they must pay
for their own. Keeps gun around to ward off beer theives. Sells rest of beer,
making enough money to buy his own brewery.

Stalinist: "Liberates" beer from capitalist pigs, declares it the property of
the people. Begins killing those who make noise about getting some of it.

Communist: Enters into a beer making cooperative, with a five year plan. No
beer is made but the managers seem to be living better than anyone else.

Socialist: Nationalizes brewery, to make sure everyone has enough. Quality and
quantity of beer produced take severe drops, forcing a beer rationing program,
and a thriving black market in foreign beer.

Libertarian: Doesn't drink beer, but will argue over the ownership and
property rights of the beer anyway.
