Isn’t it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years?

They even uncovered photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc.!

Furthermore, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a 9 iron from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade.

Plus each and every day, they were able to continue to provide America with updates on Tiger’s sex rehab stay, his wife’s divorce settlement figures, as well as the dates & tournaments in which he will play.

Now, Barack Hussein Obama has been in office for almost three years, yet this very same press:

• Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors.
• Cannot find any of Obama’s high school or college classmates.
• Cannot locate any of his college papers or grades.
• Cannot determine how he paid for both a Columbia and a Harvard education.
• Cannot discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980′s.
• Cannot even find Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis on racism.

They just can’t seem to uncover any of this. Yet, the public still trusts that same press to give them the whole truth?!

Don’t you find that totally amazing?

Barack Obama during his Cairo speech, of June 4, 2009, said: “I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN’S RESPONSE:

Dear Mr. Obama:

Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.

Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.

Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution? Declaration of Independence? Bill of Rights? Didn’t think so.

Did Muslims fight for this country’s freedom from England? No.

Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as “pug nosed slaves.” Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family’s “rich Islamic heritage,” doesn’t it Mr. Obama?

Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.

There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.

Where were Muslims during this country’s Woman’s Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the ‘hajib’ or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women’s rights, aren’t they?

Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi’s in killing Jews.

Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren’t flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East. No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very “moderate” Muslims who’s asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.

And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the “rich heritage” Muslims have here in America.

Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.

And now we can add November 5, 2009 – the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That, Mr. Obama is the “Muslim heritage” in America.

Muslim Heritage, my ass.

I’m not going to go intd details about SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) or PIPA (Protect IP Act). Let’s just say that the nasty SOPA and it’s evil little sister PIPA are about the two worst things to be proposed for those who use the internet for pretty much anything since…. well since the internet was first built. While the names sound nice enough and maybe something we should all like to see passed, the names are quite deceiving. We all know what happens when politicians get involved in things… they go to SH**. This is another in a long line of bills that Congress has concocted that on the surface look great but dig a bit and, as they say in Britain, it is all fur coat and no knickers.

The one example that I saw on another site that nails it completely is: “The felony streaming provisions of SOPA would, in fact, put Justin Bieber at risk of jail time for uploading videos of himself covering songs without permission of the copyright holder.” Lest we forget, Justin Bieber got his start uploading videos to YouTube of himself singing Usher and Chris Brown tunes.

For those of you who still don’t understand, here’s a better example: I’ve got an extended family member who used to play in a band. This band was fairly popular in southern California and on cruise ships as they played big band tunes. They have uploaded to YouTube videos of them playing these songs. Here’s one such song. (Pretty good, if you ask me!) Under SOPA and/or PIPA, the people in the video would spend 5 years in jail because they did not secure rights to upload the video. And, for the record, that is more jail time than Michael Jackson’s physician got!

Many sites are “going dark” on Wednesday, January 18, 2012. By “going dark” they are shutting down their normal service and displaying a message protesting SOPA and PIPA. Contact your Congressman, your Senator or anyone who can listen and let them know that these two bills MUST go down in flames and NEVER be brought to the light of day again!

Salary of retired US Presidents ………….$450,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate members ………. $174,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of Speaker of the House …………. $223,500 FOR LIFE
Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders ……$193,400 FOR LIFE

Average salary of a soldier deployed in Afghanistan – $38,000

Average income for seniors on Social Security – $12,000

I think we found where some budget cuts should be made!

Ted Nugent, rock star and avid bow hunter from Michigan, was being interviewed by a liberal journalist, an animal rights activist.

The discussion came around to deer hunting. The journalist asked, ‘What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him? Is it, ‘Are you my friend?’ or is it ‘Are you the one who killed my brother?

Nugent replied, ‘Deer aren’t capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, what am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the Democrats in Congress.’

The interview ended.

Oh My God! Are these fools for real? The “Occupy Wall Street” protest group (or should I say loony left gathering?) has published thirteen “demands”. Here’s the list of “demands”. This post is going to be somewhat longer than most of my posts as I’m going to go through and critique each of their “demands”. I know that I can’t persuade any of these goofballs to look at facts, but maybe I can make someone see the lack of reason in their “demands”. Also, I have not edited their list of “demands” for spelling, capitalization or syntax.

Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending “Freetrade” by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.

The minimum wage has NEVER been a living wage. EVER. Of course, we haven’t had a minimum wage here in the US for very long; only since 1938. And many European nations (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy) do not have a minimum wage – they rely on trade groups and management to come to such a figure through collective bargaining. And imposing tariffs as well as raising the minimum wage will raise prices on all goods and services; to which they will again demand a raise in the minimum wage and then goods and services will raise… an endless cycle.

Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

The government does such a great job in its other endeavors that we should allow them to run health care? Really? (It has to be government to run this because we couldn’t have it privately run, could we?) Private insurers banned because they take money from doctors, nurses and hospitals? It’s the government that puts regulations on such things that prevents them from doing their jobs. And the private insurers hand the money they earn to Wall Street investors? Instead of the shareholders? Right….

Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

Ah, so you want a “living wage” (apparently the magical $20 per hour figure from demand one) regardless of the job? So the guy who mows lawns should get the same as the guy who repairs electrical grid systems for municipalities? Or are you saying, with the “regardless of employment” phrase that everyone should be paid a “living wage” even if they are not employed?

Demand four: Free college education.

I imagine that professors and deans and such (as well as the support and infrastructure staff of colleges and universities) really do want to work for free, right? Oh, they will still get paid? How? Raise taxes to pay for it? Well, since everyone will be making a lot more because of the “living wage” there will be a lot more collected in taxes.

Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.

I’m all for this as long as we don’t ration the amount of energy we currently consume. But right now, with today’s technology, alternative energy sources simply aren’t up to the task of running our economy. I, for one, don’t want to take steps backwards.

Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.

Uhhhhhh….. what was the stimulus package again? To rebuild all of the infrastructure you talk about here, wasn’t it? And just how did that work out? Judging by the fact that you are making it one of your demands, I’d say “That didn’t work out so well, did it?”. What makes you think that another trillion dollars would make a difference? It’s been a liberal mantra for as long as I’ve been alive that “we just didn’t spend enough money or it would have worked out”.

Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America’s nuclear power plants.

Well, since the trillion dollars spent for infrastructure worked out so well, why not a trillion on these things? I know of several towns near where I live that if we allowed “the natural flow of river systems” to happen, these towns would cease to exist. And really? Decommission nuclear power plants? Do you actually believe the dramatizations in movies? Or have you looked around Europe and seen all of the safe nuclear power plants there? All this demand is going to do is cost us a trillion dollars and kill jobs.

Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

Let’s see. 1972′s Equal Rights Amendment pretty much covers it. Of course, it’s not an official amendment because enough states didn’t vote for it (as laid out in the Constitution). But it is common business practice today (EEOC ring a bell?)

Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

Now wait a second. First, in demand one, you state “This demand can only be met by ending “Freetrade” by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market” and now you want to reinstate free trade so anyone can work and live anywhere? Oh yeah, try moving to Mexico to live and work there and see how far you’ll get.

Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

Riiiiiight…. and it happens now in the dead of night with no one watching. In fact, those people counting the ballots just make up numbers and turn them in, don’t they?

Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the “Books.” World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the “Books.” And I don’t mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.

Nice. So all the people who have borrowed money now have no incentive to work to pay off the loans they have taken out. I guess in a convoluted way that fits right in with demand one. But seriously, just forgive all debt and claim a “do over”? Are you and adult or in elementary school?

Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

Of course, if demand eleven is followed through with then why have demand twelve at all? There won’t be any debt and certainly no use for credit reporting agencies. Unless you allow credit companies and loans to come about again, but why would you? According to demand one everyone will be getting a “living wage” and won’t want for anything, right?

Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

This contradicts demand one and demand three. What good is a union if everyone is making a “living wage” and we are all paid equal? Isn’t that what a union is all about? Paying everyone equally regardless of talent, skill or abilities? Why have a union if this is already in place?

And to top it all off the goofballs that wrote these demands end with this statement:

These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.

I can’t believe that someone can grow up in the United States and believe in any of these thirteen demands. And yet they are vowing to continue their protest on Wall Street until these demands are met. I’m betting on Mother Nature ending the protest some time in January at the latest. We all know about the New York winters.

OLD VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
____________________

MODERN VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, “It’s Not Easy Being Green”.

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, “We Shall Overcome”.

Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper’s sake as he rants about how evil and racist the ant is.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, George Washington, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper’s plight.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, in an interview with Larry King, claim that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his “fair share”.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Pro-Grasshopper Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government Green Czar who in turn gives it to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which (as you recall) just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn’t maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize and ramshackle the once prosperous and peaceful neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2012!

Since you’ve read this far, I believe that you are an ant! You may wish to pass this link on to other ants, but don’t bother passing it on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn’t understand it anyway.

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism, as described by President Obama, worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

All failed, to their great surprise. The professor then told them “Socialism will also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.” Could not be put any simpler than that.

Remember, there is a test coming up… the 2012 elections.

If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on….

If a Conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.

If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation and then takes action.
If a Liberal is down-and-out, he wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
If a Liberal doesn’t like a talk show host, he demands that all talk show hosts he doesn’t like be shut down.

If a Conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
If a Liberal is a non-believer, he wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a Conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
If a Liberal decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a Conservative reads this, he will share it so his friends can have a good laugh.
If a Liberal reads this, he will delete it and ask that it be removed because he’s “offended”.

Well, I shared it… thanks to Ron!

Obama goes to an elementary school to talk to the kids to get a little PR. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and Obama asks him his name.

“Walter”, responds the little boy.

“And what is your question, Walter?”

“I have 4 questions:
First, why did the USA Bomb Libya without the support of the Congress?
Second, why do you keep saying you fixed the economy when it’s actually worse?
Third, why did you say that Jeremiah Wright was your mentor, then said that you knew nothing about his preachings and beliefs?
Fourth, why are we importing oil from Brazil that they drill for, but we aren’t allowed to drill?”

Just then, the bell rings for recess. Obama informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.

When they resume Obama says, “OK, where were we? Oh, that ‘s right: question time. Who has a question?”

Another little boy puts up his hand. Obama points him out and asks him his name.

“Steve,” he responds.

“And what is your question, Steve?”

Actually, I have 6 questions.
First, why did the USA Bomb Libya without the support of the Congress?
Second, why do you keep saying you fixed the economy when it’s actually worse?
Third, why did you say that Jeremiah Wright was your mentor, then said that you knew nothing about his preachings and beliefs?
Fourth, why are we importing oil from Brazil that they drill for, but we aren’t allowed to drill?
Fifth, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?
And sixth, what happened to Walter?”

(Thanks, Ron!)

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX Nov 18, 2010. Here’s the link to the original story, but you need a subscription.

Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or XBox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good”.

Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem”, consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
