AN OLD FARMER'S ADVICE: A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.
      Keep skunks and liberal socialist marxists at a distance.
      A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
      Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

Norman Thomas, six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America, said this in a 1944 speech:
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."

Why is it after I press one for English I still can't understand the person on the other end?

"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." Margaret Thatcher

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'

I'm a Republican not because I grew up rich. I'm a Republican because I didn't want to spend the rest of my life waiting for the government to rescue me. Mike Huckabee

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catchers mit on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back! Author Unknown

Thomas Jefferson once said, 'I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.' SOME PEOPLE still don't get it. . . . . HAVE A GREAT DAY!

NOVEMBER 2008 - WHAT REALLY CAUSED THE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN GRIPPING OUR NATION? This is long and you probably won't read it all at one time, but keep it referenced in your computer. (Click Here)

****************************************************************************************************************************

What the liberal socialist's mind is passionate about is a world filled with pity, sorrow, neediness, misfortune, poverty, suspicion, mistrust, anger, exploitation, discrimination, victimization, alienation and injustice. Sound like ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC programming? If at all possible, get cable or satellite TV system and watch FOX NEWS & BUSINESS CHANNELS if you want to know what is REALLY going on in the world every day.

****************************************************************************************************************************

Let's be reminded of these words:

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE AUTHOR? It was ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Very, very wise words, written years ago and SOME PEOPLE still don't get it . . . . .
