Well, he wouldn’t have to actually ‘sing’ it to me like Mr. WVNAN’s husband. (You and she have been truly blessed!)

I just think every women would give everything she had to a man who adored her like that. Sigh.

Oh, thank you, JC!! I love to ‘capture’ a graphic that can ‘speak’ to others. (I think this one did.)

Personally, I prefer not to look at cleavage, when I’m hearing about the California fires, or the Gulf oil spill, a horrible car crash, or Congress’ latest ‘slap’ to the citizens of this country.

Whatever happened to ‘professional’ dress?

I do think the ladies that claim to be ‘news women’ (even though, they do not deliver news as they should) but I think they should dress more lady like! What if the men starting showing up in shorts and t-shirts, etc.

The women just try to be sex machines and they’re not!

Well, maybe this would cause controversy. You either like it or not.

Enjoy the read.


THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT’S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I’LL VOTE FOR HIM.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950’s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce....
I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such
distinct and disparate tastes.

We don’t like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. We’ll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar and bio-diesel. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them).

We’ll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps,
homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO’s and rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we’ll help provide them security.

We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. But we will no longer be paying the bill.

We’ll keep the SUV’s, pickup trucks and over sized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
You can give everyone government controlled health-care if you can find any practicing doctors.

We’ll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute Imagine, I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya, or We Are the World.

We’ll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
Since it often so offends you, we’ll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this?

If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P. S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, and Jane Fonda with you.

P. S. S. And you won’t have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

Well,I guess as a kid I was embarrassed and they were ugly, but I should be grateful they helped. You are right, some kids are not that fortunate. One advantage of being pigeon toed, it was a breeze snow plowing when I was learning to snow ski. Learning to roller skate with a parnter-not so much! We fell quite often, thanks to me!
