Einstein once said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats—yet they are still POOR

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
Abraham Lincoln

…and Mr. Obama, you are no Abe Lincoln!!!

Quote of the Year

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

This is sheer genius!

In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) proposed that borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to qualify.

His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) explained, “passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it.”

I can’t add anything to this.

REPUBLICAN WOMEN VS. DEMOCRAT WOMEN

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

REPUBLICAN WOMEN VS. DEMOCRAT WOMEN……….
THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST VIDEOS I’VE SEEN……….
BE SURE TO WATCH IT ALL…….
Make sure you wait until the end!!!!

REPUBLICAN WOMEN VS. DEMOCRAT WOMEN

The first part is the Republican women. As you’re listening to that part be thinking of what song they will play for the Democrats. I laughed out loud when it started.

Editor’s Note: A bit slanted, perhaps, but good email political comedy.

Barry’s Father Was a WW-2 Vet (and Other Fantasies!).

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

President’s Father Served in WW II

Does he even know the difference between truth and fabrication?  Now Barack’s father served in WW ll.  He said so in a speech.  Is he a compulsive liar?  Were there no reporters who double checked these statements and called the party on this?

They did for everyone else.  Why not him?

Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (Obama’s father)
Born 4/4/36
Died 11/24/82 at the age of 46
He was 5 years old when WW 2 started, and less than 9.5 years old when it ended.

Lolo Soetoro (Obama’s step father)
Born 1935
Died 3/2/87 at the age of 52
He was 6 years old when WW 2 started, and 10 years old when it ended.

One of these guys must have been the youngest Veteran in the war.

“Do not move your neighbor’s boundary stone ……… in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess”.  Deut. 19-14….. i.e., Leave those corners alone.

THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Foreword: This post is the contents of an email that is circulating on the Internet. This does represent the view of a segment of the population. I have not checked the context of these quotes. I present them as they are presented in this email.

THIS IS  OUR PRESIDENT

Is anyone out there awake?

Everyone of voting age should read these two books:
Don’t buy them, just get them from the library.

book cover

book cover

From Dreams of My Father:

“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”

From Dreams of My Father :

“I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.”

From Dreams of My Father:

“There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white.”

From Dreams of My Father:

“It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

From Dreams of My Father:

“I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

And FINALLY ………
and most  scary:

From Audacity of Hope:

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to do so.

We CANNOT have someone with this mentality running ~ and ruining our GREAT nation.

I don’t care whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Conservative or a liberal, we CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President.

PLEASE help spread the word.

We have really put ourselves in harm’s way with this monster in disguise.

Logical Response from A Member of Congres…

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION WE HAVE IN CONGRESS:

congress

(You may fill in the blanks with the name of most any member of our current crop.)

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where a congressional leader happened to appear. The Congressional member took the opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was most at ease.

‘Would you mind telling me, Doctor,’ _______ asked, ‘how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?’

psychiatrist cartoon

‘Nothing is easier,’ he replied. ‘You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track.’

‘What sort of question?’ asked _______.

Well, you might ask, ‘Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?”

_______ thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, ‘You wouldn’t happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don’t know much about history.’

A Picture is Worth a Trillion ($) Words……..

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Should we buy them larger screen computers – or – a ticket home, permanently?

This is one of their THREE DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for.  I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms.  No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.

Our Government in Action

House Minority Leader  Lawrence F. Cafero Jr. , R-Norwalk, pictured standing, far  right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert,  D-Milford and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House convened to vote on a  new budget. (AP)

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two….  he’s on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

These are the folks that couldn’t get the budget out by Oct. 1,  and are about to control your health care, cap and trade, and the list goes on….

John, The Chicken Farmer

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

The following is a fable.  It is not intended to reflect badly on any one person, especially not any elected official.

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets,’  and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.

This took a lot of time,  so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

50,000 brand name craft, sewing & scrapbooking supplies (including bells) at 30-50% below retail. www.CreateForLess.com

Each bell had a different tone,  so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.

Now, he could sit on the porch And fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

John’s favorite rooster, old Butch,  was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all!

When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets,   bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover.

To John’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring.

He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch,  he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making.

Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.
