Nine Year Olds...

THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM

ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS
OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION


--From a teacher in the Nashville area

"We are worried about 'the cow' when it is all about the 'Ice Cream.'

The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year...

The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.
I decided we would have an election for a class president.

We would choose our nominees.. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.

To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members.

We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.

We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.

The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.

I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.

I had never seen Olivia's mother.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.

Jamie went first.

He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better
place. He ended by promising to do his very best.

Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now it was Olivia's turn to speak.

Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream." She sat down.

The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream."

She surely would say more. She did not have to.

A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn't sure.

Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it... She didn't know.

The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream...

Jamie was forgotten.. Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds.

They want ice cream.

The other 48 percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."


This is the ice cream Obama promised us!



Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone --
that they have not first taken away from someone else.

Did you vote for the ice cream?

School'ed

Annnd Another lie

The Myth of 90 Percent: Only a Small Fraction of Guns in Mexico Come From U.S.

While 90 percent of the guns traced to the U.S. actually originated in the United States, the percent traced to the U.S. is only about 17 percent of the total number of guns reaching Mexico.

Czar of ????

Anyone else wondering about the titles being given to the newly created political positions?

czar
   –noun
1. an emperor or king.
2. (often initial capital letter) the former emperor of Russia.
3. an autocratic ruler or leader.
4. any person exercising great authority or power in a particular field: a czar of industry.

Hum, so we are using names for political positions that are derived from Russian History? And people think I am too skeptical about this whole transition to socialism... POSH!

The ONLY way to insite change is be applying pressure of an extended period of time, so unless we start pushing back we all know what we will have...

Saving for a Democratic Congress...

Handouts...

Dear Congressmen,

Due to years of investment debauches outside of my control my piggy bank has declined in value to the present day value of $0.03; which is not sufficient for me to take my planned vacations this year. Further more, if I am required to take monies out of my paycheck, I will not have enough capital to make any purchases and will have to cut back on many of my daily activities that I have come to regard as something that I deserve to have and not really perks.

If I am not given a bailout payment of $10.2 million I will not be able to enjoy the life I think I am entitled. I will need these funds no later than April 15th so I can pay my taxes (slight accounting error on my part and in no way was it an attempt to shirk my obligations to the IRS).

Sincerely,

Average American

Change that you can count on...

What has the Dow sunk too? Yes we can sink it to an all time low and blame it on factors outside 'our' control. How much does the Government want to hand out to the Democratic Interests? Yes we can pass a budget full of earmarks under the new administration. Who is going to bail out the economy? Yes private industry and citizens can just toss their entire life savings at the problems so CEOs can get huge bonuses. Who is launching a satellite and threatening war? Yes we can show a sign of weakness so our non-allies will contemplate becoming out right enemies. Who has evicted an entire Air Base? Yes we can allow other world powers to control our foreign policy. Who wants the US to turn to socialism? Yes we can consider changing OUR form of government to follow those we have stood our grounds against yesterday. Who are we going to listen to about amending our constitution? Yes we can allow a 'peace keeping' conglomerate to dictate our domestic policy and civil rights. Yes we can, all sit back and allow the 'Yes' man to ruin what America was founded on, and allow our dreams to become something of the past...

Or we can say No Sir, we would rather not just be a 'Yes' man, but we would like to reserve the right to say NO. Sigh...How did that quote go? "Voting for Obama was like volunteering to be a chicken for Col Saunders." I am sad to report that we haven't even come close to knowing the true consequences of allowing the 'Yes Man' to buy his presidential term...I now thank my fellow Americans for forgetting one of the many lessons that we learned in K-12 Education, 'Just Say No!"

America has allowed Socialism to sip iced tea on the porch, has become a Nation where it is the Tax Payers responsiblity to bail out irresponsible corperations, has allowed a Presidential Canidate to buy his four year stay in the White House, has forgotten the principles that the United States of America was founded on and why it was founded, and is allowing our non-allies to bully us in the Global Theater. Makes me wonder how much longer I will be able to enjoy the Freedom of Speech to write this on my Blog; to wonder how much longer until another line item of the Bill of Rights gets vetoed.

I call on all you Americans who have yet to wake up and smell the roses; the roses are dead you are just smelling artifical rose flavored room freshner; the facts are out there, you just need to see them.

My leap...

Alright, I guess I have kept y'all in suspense long enough....
Yeah that is right, 5 Mega Pixel camera in a Cell Phone extraordinaire. The jury is still out whether or not a cell phone (can we even call them cell phones any more?) running windows is a wise choice, but I will see how things go...

Oh another note, did anyone else hear the New Press Secretary's Press Release today? MAN, now if I was the Man in charge, I would have most certainly picked an orator for that job. My college public communications professor would have made him cry for using 'Um' that many times in a row. For those that didn't get to hear the release it went something like this; "Blah blah blah, um, blah, um, Blah Blah, Um, um, Blabbity Blah BLah, Ummmmmm um, Blah Blah blah, um Blah...Thank you very much." Sigh...It is so hard to be a positive blogger with such extreme retarded behavior from those in charge. Might just have to change it up and be rantin' everyday, um, about the um current state of the um country...um...

Now for the economy, party time is over folks, stop celebrating the election of a minority President and start looking at what our Nation's Economy is doing; before you go off and blame it all on Bust..er I mean Bush, read this article...(hint: Notice the graph of the stock market since election and the change of command. For those that don't know better, down is the bad direction.) Our economy is being systematically driven into the ground, Government is getting bigger, socialism is a few more 'stock purchases' away and according to those who "Won" the election 'we need to spend more to get out of debt.' I am not sure how that works, but maybe I will go out and buy a new car, a house, a secondary residence AND a private plane to get me out of debt... *WINK*

Second Ammendment

For those who don't think he will take it away...

"Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent."

Thanks for voting for 'change that you can count on', earmarks are up, spending is up, the deficit is growing, taxes are up, economy is down, retirement accounts are bleeding, constitutional rights are on the line, socialism is around the corner and the goons who elected him are to busy celebrating the huge success to realize what is going on...

Well...

Well, there you have it folks, America is FOR SALE to the highest bidder. Now maybe we will find out the hard way who exactly supported his campaign and will start to appreciate just exactly what this will mean to our fine country...

-----Edit-----
Obama raked in 62,534,907 votes (52%)
McCain held onto 55,456,309 votes (46%)

Good job Obama President Elect, now lets see if you can unite this country and guide us.

Today

Get out and VOTE!!! Today is the day that you secure your right to complain about the President's Actions for the next four years; complaining will not be tolerated if you didn't cast your ballot...

Prepare for the change to socialism, unless of course the pollsters are wrong...

For all you skeptics out there..

Read this

Now I myself want to know, where has all this money come from? Who are the silent economic backers? What do they have to gain by him being elected?

I think the American people need to be very careful this year when voting...something seems very fishy and we should be demanding to know who is footing this bill and why they are so eager to part with all that money.

Electing Obama will mean the American public is For Sale to the highest bidder...

Time for some??

Yeap, pretty much sums it all up; the lie, cheat and steal their way to the big white house on top of the hill and We the People have no authority to hold them to their campaign promises...

Stupid People...

Stocks plunge anew as retail sales show steep drop

By TIM PARADIS • AP Business Writer • October 15, 2008


NEW YORK — Angst over the economy is sending stocks plunging once again. A disappointing retail sales report has investors convinced that the banking crisis has caused cracks in the economy well beyond the financial sector and that a recession, if not already here, is inevitable.

The Dow Jones industrials are down more than 500 points, more than half their huge 936-point advance from Monday, and all the major indexes are down at least 5 percent.

The government’s report that retail sales plunged in September by 1.2 percent — almost double the 0.7 percent drop analysts expected — made it clear that consumers are reluctant to spend amid a shaky economy and a punishing stock market. And the economy cannot grow unless consumers are spending.

Now I know this is nothing new at all and most of us are aware of what our 401k's are doing these days, but I have this grand illusion that the business sector is comprised of individuals who are smarter than me so I found some humor in this article.

"...made it clear that consumers are reluctant to spend amid a shaky economy and a punishing stock market. And the economy cannot grow unless consumers are spending."

Maybe this just seems too easy, but don't the consumers need money in order to spend it? Unemployment is up, wages are stagnant, credit is frozen.... You see where I am going with this? Wasn't this HUGE tax payer burden that was just passed supposed to free up the basket of credit so businesses could grow, so employees could have job security, so the little guys and gals have money to spend to lubricate the economy train that just flattened our life savings?

I hate to say this Tim but it will take more than congressional smoke and mirrors in order for the consumers to blindly spend what liquid assets we have left to keep this 401k pillaging beast rolling; maybe some of these CEOs and Business executives can go out and spend their fat cash, because I know my nest egg makes Ethiopian Children look plump...

Note: Yes I know everyone has lost money and dollar to dollar the CEOs might have lost more, but when you are making three more digits a year than the average American, I really don't think the average American can empathize with you having to sell a home or get rid of your luxury car.

Legs of Stars

Now I know some of you are a little P-Turbed over visiting my blog only to see posts political in nature; well get over yourselves it is October. No I am not a card carrying Republican that is just banging the drum blindly (In Fact my ballot, which is already inked, has a nice mix of both parties), but a voter who really tries to make an informed decision which is more than can be said for about 80% of the population.

With the election weeks away the politicians have turned to negative campaign adds, unless of course you are Obama and you just have a satellite TV channel that is spewing your lies and deception 24 hours a day (Have you ever wondered where the money came from to pay for that, and why he thinks he needs to buy that much attention of the population?); but they are not without help in their negativism. Have you seen this picture?Wow, Sarah nice legs but isn't this picture sexist? I can not quite tell how I should react to this picture, should I drool or should I be offended? Why did they chose to frame a guy between them? Why not a baby? Why not a lady? The picture is not without artistic talent, but come on now she is the Governess of Alaska! I am just amazed that she can stand in those shoes, you go girl!

Lets see, the next order of the agenda is....Star parties! Yeah, I know some of you have already stopped reading but that is your loss and not mine! On the 21st the Orionid will peak so bundle up warm, grab a star chart and a red flashlight, find a dark place and spend some quality time with someone that you love looking for chunks of burning space debris. Oh look, someone raised their hand in the peanut gallery; Good point, the Orionid shower is not favorable viewing this year do to moon phases...Blah, blah, blah.
Note: Spending the time with your eyes closed looking for burning love will result in seeing stars, but not the celestial variety; so come up for air and look skyward every now and again.

Post-Script: Yes this does mean there is a high probability that I will be spending some nights outside capturing the celestial events while fighting off jack frost, but at least I won't be alone...

Warm Fuzzies!!!!

THE PRO-BARACK VOTE-FRAUD DRIVE

Are we Democratic?

"Polling shows Obama approaching the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory..."

Whoa, Whoa, WHOA! I thought we lived in a democratic society that operates on the Principles of Capitalism? So even now before the people get to vote the media and the electoral college have already decided the next President of the United States of America? Does this mean the Elections next month are rigged? The whole voting process a sham, hope you feel warm and fuzzy about yourself, process that means absolutely FRICKIN' nothing?

What is the good ol' USA becoming? The g-man has voted to allow government ownership and control of banking, and we the people nod and smile and say thank you for stabilizing our economy?

From where I sit, it appears like we are headed for a Socialistic Dictatorship; which one of our rights will be trampled on next?

Does this look familiar?

Where in history have we seen this type of behavior before?

Pork!

Do you know what it costs to buy votes in the house? Check this out...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are also some four dozen small provisions. Among them, with projected costs over 10 years:

_Extending an expired provision that gives Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands a rebate against excise taxes charged on imported rum. The rebate, at $13.50 per proof gallon, helps finance local infrastructure projects. The cost is $192 million.

_Establishing a new tax credit ranging from $2,500 to $7,500 for purchasers of plug-in electric-drive vehicles. Cost: $758 million.

_Extending tax credits that expired at the end of 2007 for certain domestic corporations involved in American Samoa economic development. Cost: $33 million.

_Extending a credit of up to $10,000 for the training of mine rescue team members. The credit expires at the end of this year and the one-year extension costs $4 million.

_Enacting President Bush's proposal to erase the debt of the black lung disability trust fund at a cost of $1.3 billion.

_Extending for one year a seven-year depreciation timetable that NASCAR and other motorsport racing facilities have had for some years, the same tax break that amusement parks enjoy. Without the extension, the tracks would have to depreciate the cost of their improvements over 15 years, raising their taxes by $100 million.

_Extending for five years a program that reduces import duties on some wool fabrics. The tariff relief benefits U.S. worsted wool fabric producers that use imported fibers and yarns. Cost: $148 million.

_Increasing the single-year deduction in production costs, from $15 million to $20 million, that film and TV productions may take if the costs are incurred in economically depressed areas. In an effort to keep film and TV productions in the U.S., it also allows more companies to use a domestic production deduction. Cost: $478 million.

_Allowing commercial fishermen and others hurt by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska to average out damage awards over three years rather than taking a one-year hit from the IRS. Cost: $49 million.

_Extending two programs that fund rural schools and rural communities that have been relying on declining income from logging on federal land or have low property tax bases because they are located on or next to federal lands. This is a major issue in the West. Cost: $3.3 billion.

_Exempting wooden practice arrows used by children from an excise tax of 39 cents per arrow. Oregon's two senators and two Wisconsin representatives previously introduced legislation calling for the action, saying the tax was meant for more expensive archery arrows and is untenable for makers of toy arrows that may cost only about 30 cents apiece. The bill would affect about a half-dozen manufacturers nationwide, including one in Oregon; the Oregon senators said they didn't seek its addition to the bailout, however. Cost: $2 million.

_Allowing employers to exempt from taxation what they spend on some fringe benefits for workers who commute to work by bicycle, for example reimbursing the cost of parking the bikes. Cost: $2 million.

How dumb do they think we are?

Capitalism has screwed the American People once again because of greed! Don't you just love how CEOs make millions of dollars and now that their decisions have drastically failed their companies, we the tax payers are going to get saddled with their bad decisions.
Whether it be the select democrats that decided to not allow the US to buy oil directly from IRAQ at a reduced price; so Iraq sold the stockpiled oil that was set aside to China at full price and made a killing on the oil. Which explains the HUGE budget surplus in a country we are spending billions of dollars trying to stabilize.
Or maybe the lets create local jobs but giving housing loans to high risk applicants at rates they never can afford to repay to stimulate the economy. Do they think that suddenly these people will be able to afford to pay for a house that is two to three times more than they can afford if they are fiscally responsible?
Maybe it is the fact that politicians have sold their souls to giant cooperations so they can get elected and than look the other way when big money fleeces the American Taxpayers.
Or maybe we are all responsible for taking what is handed to us and thinking that we not only deserve it, but feeling that we deserve even more. The only free lunch is the one that you grew in your garden.
When will this stop? When McCain gets elected? When Obama becomes the president who couldn't make a decision to save his life? This stops when the American people say ENOUGH!!!
