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.

Anon

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.

My Progressive Side

Most people caught up in recycling fail to take note of a couple of significant points. In their self diluted thoughts they actually believe they are saving the world. Point #1 not all things lend themselves to recycling. Only about a half dozen or so items, example; paper, aluminum, copper etc. recycle well. Others cost more in energy and money to recycle than is saved. Point #2 Most of the recyclables collected and faithfully separated end up alongside the other trash in landfills. This according to a study published approximately six months ago. Yes, the governments and private recycling companies dump it. I do not wish to be judged harshly when it comes to doing my part in recycling. From this point on, I want everything recycled whether it means we waste more energy and money or not.

Secondly, I am tired of hearing how we mistreat the animals of this planet. We encroach on their habitat and threaten their existence. I propose the following to insure this doesn't happen again. Ban hunting, no one needs to hunt to eat except maybe for the "one in eight" that the commercial claims is hungry. Some claim that species management is necessary to avoid overpopulation. They claim the species overwhelms their Eco-systems. The food supply and habitat are insufficient to support the increase in numbers. I don't believe this for a minute. In the Midwest (Illinois or Indiana) about four or five years ago a moratorium on hunting lead to starvation and the spread of disease through the states' deer population. The state moved in and euthanized the sick ones. Starvation is not such a bad way to go. I'm sure it was just a coincidence. Ban wind turbines as they kill birds. Ban air travel, as airplanes suck unsuspecting ducks into their jet engines. This can result in the airplane landing in a river threatening the fish. Ban roadways thereby eliminating the words road kill from our vocabulary. Ban solar panel arrays they hog up land (one huge array is close to Las Cruses). Ban buildings over one story tall (threat to birds). Ban all activities in oceans to include fishing, boating, surfing and anything else that can affect the fish. The oceans are just not big enough for all of us. Ban elimination of waste as it pollutes the waterways. Ban breathing as it emits carbon dioxide. Ban all cars, buses and trains. Make all modes of transport except bicycles illegal. Ban generating of electricity as it pollutes the air. Ban all industry so we no longer melt the ice and threaten the polar bears.

That should be enough for now. If these suggestions do not solve the problems we will revisit them later and add some really strict limitations.

Twin Towers Ground Zero

If the twin tower site is an example of how long it takes to get a shovel ready job started there may be a problem. This shovel ready site has been ready and waiting for eight years. Hopefully by the 10Th anniversary they will have a little something to show.

Granting life to the non-living

Slightly more than a decade ago, a group of people who wanted to modify your behavior offered life to the sport utility vehicle. This new life form has since wreaked havoc around the nation. Media reports indicated that S.U.V.s have caused accidents, ran red lights, ran over pedestrians, and on one occasion drove off a fourth floor parking garage injuring three. Example of the coverage would be S.U.V. ran through railroad crossing collides with train, two people injured. Never the mention of a driver. Perhaps there wasn't one. Average citizens learned to mis-trust and rail against the ownership of the S.U.V. by other citizens. They have a mind of their own indiscriminately causing damage and mayhem. Pesky S.U.V.
This morning I heard the report of a high school cheerleader murdered by a gun. Somehow a football player was involved in the incident. Report: Gun crime results in the death of a cheerleader. The football player didn't kill her the gun did. In my life, I have been lucky in that I have never had a criminal gun. I have owned guns for 49 years. Never once has any of them committed a gun crime. Come to think of it my friends and relatives have never owned a criminal gun. Just dumb luck I guess.

Dumbo (Obama's) latest Healthcare speech

It is interesting how society interpreters things nowadays. Dumbo started lying from his opening remarks. Health care reform will not add one cent to the deficit. Lie number one. Then he said that illegal aliens will not access health care. Lied again. Dumbo (the ears) has no plan. The out front plan is the house plan. It has no mechanism for identifying legal status. Amendments put forth requiring legal status and excluding illegal aliens was promptly discarded by the house leadership. He said if you like your current plan and doctor you can keep them. Third lie. There was at least two more lies I can think of off the top of my head, but I don't want to bore you with details. Everyone eventually will be forced to join. It's in the house plan. The person lying is given a pass. The person Joe Wilson, R. South Carolina who told the truth when he yelled out "you lie" is the one that was scrutinized.
