$50 Lesson

A $50 Lesson

I recently asked my friends' little girl what she
wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to
be President some day.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were
standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were
President what would be the first thing you would do? '
She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all
the homeless people.'

Her parents beamed with pride.

'Wow...what a worthy goal.' I told her,
'But you don't have to wait until you're President to
do that. You can come over to
my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my
yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store
where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward
food and a new house.' She thought that over for a few seconds,
then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ' Why doesn't
the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50? '

I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'

Her parents still aren't speaking to me .

Limbaugh gets his wish.

Rush Limbaugh gets his wish. He was so begging that Barack Obama would pick Joe Biden for his VP running-mate, and he did. This should be interesting, cause obviously Rush is going to put together some awesome commentary for us in the next few weeks of who this Biden guy really is.

Personally, I just see him as filler for the gap that Obama creates. And it's a huge gap! He has no experience, obviously it not bring together the white middle class voters, and has been stumbling continuously since ousting Clinton from the race. I don't know that Biden will help him much, but at this point I don't see how it can hurt him. Well Rush seems to think it can and I will be interested it what he has lined up.

If you don't listen to Rush, I found a great radio station to listen to him online. He's on from 12-3 EST, and Sean Hannity follows him.

Continuing though, A scary thought entered my head, which is, how the Dem's now have an inexperienced stumbling 'buffoon' who can't decided where he stands, or even how to speak from day to day, as their nominee for President, and frankly, what an embarrassment for them, if they can't win this election after all the hate for the Republicans that has been going around. However, that is another point I'm not getting into right now. But you know you have to win this election, unlike the last one when you through Kerry into it, this one should be yours, no incumbent, hate for the war and the GOP, you always have the media on your side. Everything just screams that Democrats should win this thing hands down. Except for one major thing they keep forgetting. Most of America isn't on their side. The Democrats that to 'trick' people into thinking they care about you, and they want to help you, and the GOP is all a bunch of war mongers, who just want to make rich people richer, and ignore the little guy.

But now that they are here, and they got Obama as a nominee, they are 'Freaking out' cause it is not going in their direction. I guarantee you, the Dem's are calling the shots here, not Obama. They are telling him who he has to pick, and who has to run with him to make this work, and they need someone to fill that gap. But this is the scariest part of all. If the Dem's actually manage to pull this off and win the Presidency, I think there will be a time when they will be done with Obama. And somehow, remove him to put Biden in the big chair. It's probably a conspiracy someone comes up with every year for every VP. But I don't think Obama has enough weight to pull this stuff out by himself, and he has let the Dem's run it in the background for him.

So there is my conspiracy theory. I am probably wrong, but either way, Biden is there to fill the big gap. I just think it is bigger than most. Biden can't fill this gap.

McCain wins by default, 52%+

Rush for President 2008!

The Democrats are running their campaign against Rush Limbaugh, not anyone actually running for the Presidency.

John Glenn said a few things that make you think a little:

There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January. In the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That's just one American city, about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq .

When some claim that President Bush shouldn't have started this war, state the following:

a. FDR led us into World War II.

b. Germany never attacked us; Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost .. an average of 112,500 per year.

c. Truman finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked us .. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost .. an average of 18,334 per year.

d. John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us

e. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost .. an average of 5,800 per year.

f. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent.
Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.

g. In the years since terrorists attacked us , President Bush
has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled
al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya , Iran , and, North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who
slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking.
But It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno
to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.

We've been looking for evidence for chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida !!!!

Our Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB! The Military morale is high!

The biased media hopes we are too ignorant to realize the facts

But wait. There's more!

JOHN GLENN (ON THE SENATE FLOOR)
Some people still don't understand why military personnel do what they do for a living. This exchange between Senators John Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum is worth reading. Not only is it a pretty impressive impromptu speech, but it's also a good example of one man's explanation of why men and women in the armed services do what they do for a living.

This IS a typical, though sad, example of what some who have never served think of the military.

Senator Metzenbaum (speaking to Senator Glenn):
"How can you run for Senate when you've never held a real job?"

Senator Glenn (D-Ohio):
"I served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps. I served through two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was in the space program. It wasn't my checkbook, Howard; it was my life on the line. It was
not a nine-to-five job, where I took time off to take the daily cash receipts to the bank.

"I ask you to go with me ... as I went the other day... to a veteran's hospital and look those men ... with their mangled bodies in the eye, and tell THEM they didn't hold a job!

"You go with me to the Space Program at NASA and go, as I have gone, to the widows and Orphans of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee... and you look those kids in the eye and tell them
that their DADS didn't hold a job.

"You go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in Arlington National Cemetery, where I have more friends buried than I'd like to remember, and you watch those waving flags.

"You stand there, and you think about this nation, and you tell ME that those people didn't have a job?

"What about you?"

For those who don't remember: During W.W.II, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney representing the Communist Party in the USA. who later served for almost 20 years as a Democratic member of the U.S. Senate!
