It’s been awhile - basically because what can you say?

The lemmings have fallen into line.  I would say Jedi mind tricks have been effective, but I don’t want to insult the Jedi’s - they are supposed to be for good.  I can’t use Darth Vadar as an example, because as in most good vs. evil scenarios, throughout the Star Wars episodes - EVERYONE knows that Darth Vader is the bad guy.

How can so many smart people not see what is right in front of their face here?

This so called stimulus package is a joke.  I’ve read some of the liberal blogging to the Conservatives/Republicans - whatever you want to call those “evil” people to not take the money if you don’t  like it or are so against it.  WHAT?

Okay - if you are in a situation where some benevolent person is saying “I want to give my money away - all you have to do is ask” - fine…it’s his money.

This “stimulus package” is taking YOUR money and MY money and our CHILDREN’S money and our GRANDCHILDREN’s money.

You guys just have no idea - well not true - some of you do.

Let’s make it simple –

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
Dr. Adrian Pierce Rogers (September 12, 1931 – November 15, 2005) of Love Worth Finding Ministries, Pastor Emeritus of Bellevue Baptist Church.

Anyone remember Jurrasic Park and the line that Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcom in response to Henry Wu?

Henry Wu: You’re implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will… breed?
Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, I’m simply saying that life, uh… finds a way.

All I feel are rants at the idiocy of those who listen to the talking box and the air of entitlement that is being sucked up through a straw…socialism - here we come - middle class, flushing down the tube - you are going to have the rich and the poor and the rich are smart enough to get the hell out of Dodge.

I gotta book for you to read.  “Spy” by Ted Bell - yeah - it’s fiction….or is it?

Be sure to visit http://www.johnziegler.com/ so that you can see the fallout from this - if it weren’t so sad it would be funny.

My son picked up a Chuck Norris poster the other day. You gotta love a guy who reaches all ages with the simplicity of good vs. evil.

I LOVE the letter that he has written to our new President-elect, Barack Hussein Obama.

“Obama, now that you work for me …

Dear President-elect Obama:
First, congratulations on your victory. The historical magnitude of your presidential win is nothing short of stupendous and a colossal fulfillment of the American dream (an achievement embedded long ago in the equality clauses of the Declaration of Independence). Your life has served and will serve as an example to countless millions, and I pray that you will live up to that honorable position and responsibility.

Now that Democrats have a virtual monopoly over our land, with control of the White House, both houses of Congress, a majority of gubernatorial positions, state legislatures, the courts, the news media, the unions and the entertainment and educational fields, it would be relatively easy for you to rule as king, casting liberal edicts in any direction. But now will come your biggest test: Will you be able to lead the other half of the country that doesn’t agree with your vision, views and policies?

It’s no big surprise that I don’t see politically eye-to-eye with you. Actually, I stand in stark opposition to most of your politics. Still, even in our differences, I realize that we must learn to work together if we are to see our country get back on track. After Election Day, I asked myself, despite the outcome, how can I work for our new president to help better America? Then the thought occurred to me, the first question that should be answered is: How will you work for me? After all, it is “We, the People” of the Constitution for whom you are employed, correct?

So I outlined a few ways you might begin to gain the respect of those who oppose you and show that your campaign pledges to bridge the divides were not empty promises to get you into office. And these requests I make are based upon the inaugural oath you will make on Jan. 20, “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” No doubt these won’t be my only suggestions through the years, but they serve as a good beginning:”

Read it all here at World News Daily…you’ll be glad you did - and make a promise to yourself to expect the same thing from President-elect Obama - after all YOU are his boss.

The Grasshopper and the Ants (1934)

THIS SOUNDS FAMILAR - Not sure where this came from - it was credited to an economics professor but his website states “Contrary to Internet folklore, Dr. Kamerschen is NOT the author of “Tax Cuts: A Simple Lesson in Economics” or “Bar Stool Economics” or anything similar to that. Additionally, he does NOT know who wrote it and he has no opinion on its merits. ”

 Suppose that every day, 10 men go out for drinking and the bill for all 10, comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do. The 10 men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. ‘Since you are all such good customers, he said, I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily drinking by $20.’ Drinks for the 10 now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first 4 men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.
But, what about the other 6 men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’ They realized that $20 divided by 6 is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the 5th man and the 6th man would each end up being paid for his drinking.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair o reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to ork out the amounts each man should pay.

And so:

The 5th man, like the first 4, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The 6th now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
The 7th now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
The 8th now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The 9th now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The 10th now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the 6 men was better off than before. And the first 4 men ontinued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to ompare their savings.

‘I only got a $1, out of the $20′, declared the 6th man. He pinted to the 10th man, ‘but he got $10!’

‘Yeah, that’s right, ‘exclaimed the 5th man. ‘I only saved a 1, too. It’s unfair that he got 10 times more than I!’

‘That’s true!!’, shouted the 7th man. ‘Why should he get $10 ack when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!’

Wait a minute,’ yelled the first 4 men in unison. ‘We didn’t get aything at all. The system exploits the poor!’

The 9 men surrounded the 10th man and beat him up.

The next night the 10th man didn’t show up for drinks, so the  sat down and had drinks without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money
between all 9, of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, men and women, working people, beats & bums, free loaders, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the economic atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

 If you know who really wrote it - please tell me so I can credit them.

Don’t know who wrote this - let me know & I’ll give credit - was sent to me today:

‘Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

” On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi”
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

——————————————————–

In the past, I’m always saddened to see that people interviewed say things like “Well, I didn’t bother to vote because i didn’t think it would count because the polls showed “Insert Name Here” ahead.

Don’t pay attention to the polls - and don’t pay attention to the comment that Obama made to Colorado State students.

““Now, I especially want you to vote early if you’re voting for me. If you’re voting for the other guy, you should just wait until November 5th,” Obama said and began to laugh.”

However he quickly added, “I’m just teasing, it’s actually November 4th is the election.”

Yes, this was said “in humor” but to me, specifically putting “the day after voting” out there is deliberate and intended to confuse people.  Don’t be taken in by it, and don’t get confused.  If you can vote early - vote early - and if you don’t, don’t sit home and watch “the polls” and make a decision based on what they report - get out - vote - and don’t have regrets about not “doing your part” the day after.

Got this from a long term friend today and thought it worthy of sharing “in practice”.

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read ‘Vote Obama, I need the money.’ I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on an ‘Obama 08′ tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference–just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need–the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money hedid not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
