You Lie!

New Soup

A friend of mine sent me this picture of a "new soup" - I am definitely NOT buying the soup (or drinking the Kool Aid).

The Ant and the Grasshopper

My cousin sent me this story today – Two different versions with two different morals of the story “The Ant and the Grasshopper”. Unfortunately, the modern version seems more the story of today’s world.

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 STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN 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 shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are 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.' corn stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We Shall Overcome.' Rev. Jeremiah Wright then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake. Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King 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 & Anti-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. The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ants food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. 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 the once peaceful neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010!

"In God We Trust”

Jimmy Carter - Still an Idiot

Well....Jimmy Carter (one of the worst presidents in US history) has announced that Joe Wilson's outburst last week where he shouted "you lie" at the president is "based on racism." I get SO tired of the democrats/liberals using the "race card" anytime someone disagrees with "the anointed one" - Obama. Guess what Jimmy? It has absolutely nothing to do with racism. The president IS a liar and a socialist and might actually beat you out as the worst president in US history - and not because he is black, but because of his policies.

Joe Wilson's son was interviewed after Carter made his horrible accusation and here is what he had to say: "There is not a racist bone in my dad's body," said Alan Wilson, an Iraq veteran who is running for state attorney general in South Carolina. "He doesn't even laugh at distasteful jokes. I won't comment on former President Carter, because I don't know President Carter. but I know my dad, and it's just not in him. It's unfortunate people make that jump. People can disagree — and appropriately disagree — on issues of substance, but when they make the jump to race it's absolutely ludicrous. My brothers and I were raised by our parents to respect everyone regardless of background or race."

I think former president Carter should apologize for this outrage. And....by the way.....I do NOT think that Joe Wilson had anything to apologize for. Yesterday's "Admonishment" by Democratic members of Congress was ridiculous. As I said before, where were the admonishments when democrats were doing the same thing to George Bush? It's shameful.

Joe Biden Embarrassed??

So....Joey Biden was on Good Morning America and said Joe Wilson's outburst made him "embarrassed for the chamber and Congress I love." Puleeeze! Give me a break. I live in the state of Delaware where Joey was our Senator for YEARS and he embarrassed me more times over the years than I would care to count. I can't believe he would have the nerve to say someone else "embarrassed" him.

Where was his outrage over Ted Kennedy all the times that he called George Bush a Liar? Where was everyone's outrage when George Bush was speaking before congress and the democrats were disrespectful to him? I heard clips over the radio yesterday of the times that President Bush was speaking and it was disgraceful the way the democrats were yammering. As the host of the radio show brought to our attention, the difference was that Joe Wilson's comments stood out because he was the only one shouting. When the democrats did it to George Bush, there were so many of them shouting that you couldn't distinguish what they were saying.

Personally, I don't think Joe Wilson had anything to apologize for - I only wish he were MY congressman - I would be PROUD.

Now, I understand that Joe Wilson is under attack more than ever from the liberal left. They are out to get him - his re-election is at stake. They are trying to raise funds to stop him. If you are so inclined, here is his website where you can contribute to Joe Wilson's re-election.

We need more representatives like Joe Wilson. I am not embarrassed by him in the least - on the contrary - I am proud of him and thankful for people like him.

Obama's speech

I must admit, I didn't sit in front of the TV last night and listen to Obama's 45 minute health care propaganda speech - I just can't take it listening to Obama's rhetoric and watching the smug, smiling, ogling faces of Nancy Pelosi and Joey Biden. It makes me physically sick to my stomach. However, I did feel obliged to listen to the news this morning to hear the various clips of the speech. The liberal mainstream media called them "highlights" - the only highlight I saw was when Joe Wilson, a representative from South Carolina, shouted "You lie" when Obama said that illegal immigrants would not be covered under his plan. Sadly, Wilson apologized for his outburst, but personally I believe he screamed what I think every single one of the Republicans should have screamed. I understand that this was a show of "disrespect" for the President and I get that; however, respect has to be earned, and this president has done nothing but lie and promote ungodly activity and I have not one single ounce of respect for him. But....on to the issues at hand.

One of the many things that has bothered me about this health care fiasco is "how is it going to be paid for?" So......Obama said last night that it would cost the tax payers very little (yeah, right....) and that they would cut some of the wasteful spending in order to pay for it. My suggestion is......how about cut the wasteful spending NOW and then talk about the next steps. I guess my other question is - why would I trust the very ones who created the wasteful spending to manage my health care? It's like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. Our lawmakers have proven themselves to be very "free spending" and wasteful with OUR money. They can't be trusted.

Obama is always ready to accuse Republicans of being partisan - yet, from what I saw, Obama was very critical of his opponents and told lies (which is normal for him). Obama is losing ground in the polls quickly (thank The Lord). Seniors are getting really nervous about this plan (and rightfully so). Do you want the people who have ruined social security, welfare, the school systems and anything else they have touched to be in charge of your health care? Have you ever been to Motor Vehicle? It will make you want to slit your throat. Do you want the government deciding about your doctors and your health care? You should think long and hard about this and contact your congressmen and senators. Let your voice be heard. Let's take this country back!

Explanation of "Change"

This sign was evidently seen along the road near Durham, NC - I love it!




All I can say is Obama and all his cronies can just "Keep the Change."

New Czar......

Dr. Jack Kevorkian is going to be the new health care czar.

PSYCH!!

You believed it for a minute, didn't you :-)

Nice Van......

This guy is really brave, but I LOVE it!
