Speak its name

This article speaks volumes.

This says it all

This sums up for me the biggest problem in the United States today - PEOPLE and the GIMME attitude.

In fifty years of being in the workforce, I collected one, count 'em - one - week of unemployment benefits. No medical bennies. No free eyeglasses. No free dental work. No grants. No scholarships. No welfare.

I have a mortgage free house. I have a 100% paid for car in top running condition. I have a retirement fund. I have an investment fund. I pay cash for everything.

How did I manage to accomplish these things?  I WORKED a JOB, and not the system.

Don't pat me on the back. I didn't do one damn thing special. I did what every citizen of the United States should do.

I took care of myself. I didn't expect someone else or the government to do it for me.

And I'm a better person for it.

American obituary?

I've read this before in a publication sent out to ministers, and it contains a scary grain of truth. I see this happening around me, and pray I don't live to experience the end of it. - TW

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.

A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through  the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;

  

From spiritual faith to great courage;

  

From courage to liberty;

From liberty to abundance;

  

From abundance to complacency;

  

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

  

From dependence back into bondage."

Personal choices

Those 'pass it on' emails. They keep you informed on what.... on what? I'm not sure. I got one in my email this morning from a close friend. She's a Democrat, but I try not to hold that against her. We rarely discuss politics because the urge to slap.... um....it's better to stay friends with them than point out how stupid they can be.

There's an old joke that's not very funny when you think about it. I'm using the "he" pronoun for readability. Get over it, girls.

A Democrat sees something on television he doesn't like. He calls on the government to pass a law to ban it because, in his opinion, the American people shouldn't see it, hear it, know it, and it's up to the government to tell the people what's best for them.

A Republican sees something on television he doesn't like. He changes the channel.

The point, in case you didn't get it, is about personal choice. 

Roe vs. Wade turns 39 today.

It doesn't matter what you think is right or wrong in someone else's life, only your own.

Try to use your head and think about that for yourself. Don't base your opinions on religious or political rhetoric. Reach down into your gut and imagine the loss of personal choice in the kind of coffee you drink or the kind of car you drive. Imagine your neighbor having the right to dictate to you the color of the flowers you can plant in your garden.

Think.

A $4.1 million vacation??

This is INSANE.

So, just how much will President Barack Obama’s Hawaiian vacation cost this year? That‘s a question that can’t be definitively answered until the costs are in and the trip has concluded, but an assessment of the numbers shows that it will likely be the 44th president’s most expensive vacation to date.

The Hawaii Reporter has estimated that travel, alone, will cost $3,629,622 — a startlingly large figure considering the length of the trip. And, yes, in case you were wondering: Taxpayers will be footing a chunk of the bill. After all, it‘s not cheap to ensure that the world’s most powerful leader is safe as he travels and enjoys time away from the grind..........

I get more and more disturbed

Sorry to be engaging in Internet piracy, but this disturbs me greatly.
From the Yahoo network. Check out the article at
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-marginalizes-christmas-christians-173600711.html

Here are other instances that underscore Obama's unwillingness to back Christians:

* On the 10^th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, prayer was banned at the official ceremony to honor the rest of America's dead.

* In Egypt, the army opened fire and armored vehicles plowed through crowds of Coptic Christians who filled the streets in protest of recent attacks on their churches. Dozens were killed. Obama said nothing.

* In northern Nigeria, 150 people were killed in a series of gun and bomb attacks on Saturday. The Islamist Boko Haram sect claimed responsibility. Obama said nothing.

* In 2009 and in 2010, Obama celebrated Hanukkah at the White House.

* This past April, Obama didn't even bother to send out the White House Easter proclamation to the nation, the liberal-loathed Fox News reported. But he did release an eight-paragraph statement heralding Earth Day and statements recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.

And from the same article:

Obama hasn't observed the National Day of Prayer once since he became president. But 2012 is an election year, so he will. Bet me.

I'm more and more disturbed.

Steve Bridges as Obama

This is too funny not to share - but there are some very serious undertones, too.
