A Little Common Sense Goes a Long Way!

Like most folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem). What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. So here is my question: Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ass- doing drugs, while I work... Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? I guess we could title that program, URINE OR YOU'RE OUT'. Something has to change in this country-- and soon!!!!

Barry the Nobel Prize Winner

Obama is correct in his statement that he does not deserve the award. Few of the recent winners did. He was nominated for the award 12 days into his administration. With him everything is about him. I'm sure his private comments were to the effect, it was inevitable, what the hell took them so long. He is our beloved egomaniacal leader. I believe his head will swell to the point that his ears fit.

Let's look at some winners and losers of the award.

Mahatma Gandhi- four time nominee, four time loser. Master of non-violent resistance. Roll model for Martin Luther King. Loser

Harry Truman- led U.S. to successful conclusion of World War ll. Saved Europe's and most of the rest of the world's ass. Loser

Winston Churchill- lead Great Britain during World War ll. Loser

Ronald Reagan- defeated the communist Soviet Union. Loser

Yasser (yes sir that's my baby) Arafat- P.L.O. terrorist. Winner

Jimmy (the peanut farmer) Carter- Messed up the U.S. economy. Double digit unemployment, double digit inflation, laughing stalk in the world. Caused the creation of the misery index. He is the worst president in modern U.S. history. (soon to be second worst) Winner

Al (Bore) Gore- nut case. Winner

Barrack Obama- (Messiah) leader of the hate America, blame America crowd. Denounces U.S. around the world. Attacks the capitalist economic engine of America, which created the nation with the highest standard of living on earth. Moving toward establishing a socialist utopia where we are all equally poor and miserable. Nearing double digit unemployment, soon to be followed by double digit inflation. Weakened our economy at home and our foreign policy abroad. His only answer so far is it's Bush's fault. Winner

Who will be the future recipients of this award? Perhaps one of the Castro brothers from Cuba. Hugo Chavez from Venezuela or possibly Ahmadinejad (accent on mad) from Iran.

Wealth Redistribution

So many of us Americans become giddy at the prospect of getting something for nothing. This is why con-artist have it so easy these days. Take from the rich and give to the poor. Nothing wrong with that. We need more of it. If a student earns the grade of D and another earns an A is that fair? Hell no. They should be averaged so that both receive equal credit. Both should receive a C plus, ah what the hell a B minus. The person who got the A might have worked harder, or possibility the person with the D is just not as gifted. This is just not fair, but averaging the scores makes it fair.

A person has a neighbor who earns one million dollars a year. This person earns fifty thousand a year. He certainly is entitled to a portion of his neighbors labors, right? I think so. The total earnings should be divided up fifty-fifty. In days past, rich successful people were considered to be hard working, inventive, risk taking pioneers and economic roll models. These people with money were also the employers. This indeed is old fashioned archaic thinking. We know now they are simply winners in life's lotto.

America is no longer the land of opportunity. It has become the land of guaranteed outcomes. Anything short of that is, well it's just not fair. One of GOD's Commandments is " You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife; nor his male servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's." I guess we decided that GOD was wrong.

Today's new standard is " from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." These are the words of Karl Marx the father of modern communism. Unfortunately they also are the words of our current governmental leaders. We've come a long way baby.

A quote and a joke

By the time a man realizes that his father was right, he has a son who thinks he's wrong.

A fellow was walking along a country road when he came upon a farmer working in his field. The man called out to the farmer, "How long will it take me to get to the next town?" The farmer didn't answer. The guy waited a bit and then started walking again. After the man had gone about a hundred yards, the farmer yelled out, "About 20 minutes." "Thanks. But why didn't you tell me that when I asked?" "Didn't know how fast you could walk."

Barry The Magician

The most merciful Barry the Messiah has accomplished a feat beyond belief. In at least half a dozen of his speeches given concerning his health care proposals he has repeatedly said 46 million people are without health insurance coverage. It use to be 47 million. Anyway, he gave speech after speech repeating 46 million, 46 million, 46 million, 46 million. During his speech to the joint session of congress he said over 30 million. It's a miracle! Overnight the number dropped by 16 million. Is he good or what. I have heard some say he subtracted the illegal aliens from the coverage he had previously lied about. I believe that the D.S.P. (Democrat Socialist Party) has lied so much they simply cannot keep track of the lies any longer.

Re-defining of words

The Democrat Socialist Party continues on it's quest to transform our nation into a socialist utopia. They continue re-defining words in order to keep people from focusing on their socialist designs. The D.S.P. intends to remake this nation into one that will ensure D.S.P. future power by making citizens subservient to the government. When the citizen becomes dependent upon the government for their needs the government will have complete control. The nation will not offer our future posterity the opportunity to prosper nor the freedom to enjoy life.

The D.S.P. has redefined racism toward this end. Previously racism meant, a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce and inherent superiority of a particular race. (Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, tenth edition, page 962.) The D.S.P. has redefined it to mean any person who disagrees on any subject with our socialist and chief (The Messiah). Don't for a minute think that the people spreading this lie, like Carter, are acting independently. They are doing it with his most holy blessing. These racist would include a large number of the 40 million white people who mistakenly voted to elect him. It would include the millions of white people who worship the Oprah, and the millions of racist white people who allowed Bill Cosby the opportunity to earn 35 million dollar a year during his career. There is no doubt that racism exist, as it resides in the D.S.P.
