After 8+ years of anger, name calling and strife, my one New Years resolution is to force myself to be more kind and forgiving.
To help me to do that I have chosen to think what my Grandparents would say,
They were kind and gentle mountain folk and owned a small farm with a couple of cows and one horse.
So it is in their honor that I utter these words: " Thank you Obama for your service to Americans". because I clearly recall them saying thank you to the man who brought the bull to service their cows.
Dad is 90. Said he refused to die with Obama in office. Now he says he’s gonna stay around 4 more years just to see the things Trump does.
The only thing that Obama “contributed” to the nation is a sense of alarm by the roots of the Christian Community that defeated the Atheistic Left on November 8th. God’s hand was clearly shown in the election results.
NOW, it is up to US to re-establish what Obama said was “no longer” a Christian Nation.
Do or die for the nation.
While the parental-connected sentiment is admirable, there is now way in cowboy hell I’d ever thank Obama for anything. I firmly believe he did and is still trying to destroy America any way he can.
The best thing that we can all hope for is for him to pass on off into that night that consumes the evil inside him.
My Dad is 91 and still very active. He saw Fascists 1st hand at 19 packing an M1 in Germany, Belgium & CZ. He realized that Obama was the same Fascism he and his friends defeated in Europe. We talk about it daily. (he never discussed it when I was growing up)
That is how the ol saying goes anyway, My cow died, I don't need your bull anymore, hit the road Obama
Bless him!!
First it was feared death would come before BO’B left office.
Now it is feared death will come before President Trump can complete his glorious term and return our nation to the original model.
We mortals and deplorables keep hanging on and praying
My father said until Trump came along he had given up all hope of ever seeing s patriot in the White House again.
The night of the election was that second time in my life I’ve seen him in tears . His mothers death was the first , this was for tears of joy
I’ll thank him for leaving office but that’s about all.
My dad who never got past the 5th grade (from SC) enlisted in 1939. He was born in 1914 and he also carried one. He was in some rough stuff too and all the 23 years he served afterwards - mostly overseas in places that weren’t desirable.
He lived until age 57 (I’m 10 years older than that now). I hope you realize how fortunate you are. I’d give anything to speak to him now.
Here here!!!
Some of Jimmy Carter’s failures opened eyes and doors that gave us Ronald Reagan. I think we can thank President Obama for opening more eyes and doors with his even more dramatic failures.
Same here, only I do not have the that pleasure to talk to him anymore since he has passed away. You are lucky to still have him around. Cherish these moments.
Forget that — I want him tried for TREASON.
By the way Obama would charge your grandparents a “flatulence tax” for the cow’s methane farts and belches, like they’re doing in California.
A funny thing. I hadn’t thought of it until I read this thread.
When New Years rolled around last night, I told the wife that
for the first time in eight years, I entered the new year with a hopeful attitude.
I think that is reflected in many throughout this country today.
And don’t forget to “thank” him for the extra 9 TRILLION in debt.
Your kids will be paying it the rest of their lives.
Sorry to get some of you folks upset on New Years Day.
This is the humor page and I thought some would get “The man that brought the bull” and know what “service a cow” means.
Wish everyone a “Happy Trump Year”
Reading this reminded of of the hymn, “The Strife is O’er”
The strife is o’er, the battle done;
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun: Alleluia!
I get the humor in what you said and find it admiral you would choose the high road. I bet the owner of that bull got paid very well too and bull got a certain amount of satisfaction as well even though he may not have felt it the way we might. ;)
I’m very happy to say we don’t need the bull(sh!t) and come Jan. 20th we can look forward to some happy cows without all the bull.
