"NO!"

Is there anyone here who cannot pronounce the word "No"?

I rather doubt there is. Ladies are generally familiar with it. "Sweetheart, may I kiss you goodnight", she replied, "No!"

Men have used it to strangers many times. "Sir, may I have one of your cigarettes and borrow a dollar?" He replied, "No."

This is a word we have all heard since we were tiny children, and one we have all said, probably too many times to our kids.

Question: Do you have a problem speaking this word to persons of authority? Have you ever told a police officer, "No, you may not search my home or car without a currently dated warrant.

Have you ever told your boss at work, "No, I cannot work overtime this weekend. We have prepaid reservations and my family is expecting that we use them. Sorry, Boss, maybe next time."

May I suggest that we all write a very short letter to our officials, local, state and federal. Do you have a 37 cent stamp? We may gather quite a bit of attention using this one word. Imagine, just one word could become a rallying cry for America's patriots and stop our country from declining again. "NO!"

Perhaps they may find it amusing but I think if they receive a few thousand of these "NO!" letters, someone in their office is going to awaken and ask what are the voters saying "NO!" about?

Be sure to include your name, address and phone number. Should they become curious enough to perhaps wonder if we are saying "NO!" to their re-election or "NO!" to contributing to the party funds, they might just give us a call and ask what "NO!" means.

That will be our opportunity to tell them we want them to start using this word much more often. Even a politician should know this word. It is easily pronounced, easily spelt, "NO!". What does it mean? Just what it says, "NO!"

"NO!" to open borders and illegal aliens in America.
"NO!" to all public benefits for the illegal aliens in America.
"NO!" to tax increases.
"NO!" to re-election if you don't get off your ass and start doing your job.
"NO!" to larger government.
"NO!" to CAFTA.
"NO!" to increasing the national debt!

Illegals should be able to work and stay in America unmolested by ICE agents.
"NO!" No reason to go off into a long spiel. We've heard it before. "NO!"

"I'm trying to help America with my new plans to bring immigrants into the work force."

"NO!" You are not.

"Immigrants should be allowed instate college prices."

"NO!" They are not better than American citizens, so "NO!"

You fill in the rest with your thoughts.

"NO!"

"NO!"

"NO!"

"NO!"

"NO!"

That's certainly what I needed today, a loud and rambunctious, belly laugh.

If and when we convince the idiots we elect that English must be the one and only language of America's governmental offices your translating talents won't be required, but your sense of humor will be so don't stray too far.

"Remove 20 million illegal aliens from America and poof away go all the federal jobs that currently are in place providing them with federal services. I'd guess it probably numbers close to a million federal employees. I'll trade those for ICE agents any day of the week!"

Actually, they're almost all state and local employees. And they will be moved into other work that is equally useless.

"Depending upon which state you live in, again, poof away go police officers, probation officers, judges, court clerks, prison guards, translators in every state, count and city office there is in existence, teachers, clerks at the Dept of Motor Vehicles or what ever the name is in your state, welfare clerks, and you-name-it positions in every other agency that we have now to try for some resemblance of order. I am sure every department will reduce their staffing costs by some percentage. Some more than others certainly."

Just as the Bureau of Prohibition withered away and disappeared after Prohibition was repealed, right?

The current name of the Bureau of Prohibition is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE).

That is the model for what happens: the allegedly useless bodies are reorganized, moved around, and assigned to "new roles and missions."

"When was the last time your property taxes were reduced because they didn't need that much money to fund the offices?"

Never. And they never will be, either, unless you actually reduce taxes and mandate firing government employees.

Too many kids are graduating with just that knowledge!
"NO!"

[B4Ranch]

>>It gives the word a much more emphatic tone. ;) <<

You are either a parent or a business owner, that is obvious.

I use to whisper it to the employees. That way they'd ask me to repeat it. Then I could say, "Again, No , now that I've told you no twice, and spoken the word three times, did you understand what I said, or shall I repeat it once more?"

You know, I never had any of them go against my wishes on whatever subject we were discussing. I guess I was just lucky to find men who understood the meaning of the word.

The older cowboys would chuckle because they wouldn't ask me to repeat it. In the beginning they thought they were getting one over on the boss, so I would just continue speaking in a whisper. Their straining to hear brought about some humorous occurances. Many a good laugh came around during lunch from those little games we would play on each other.

That isn't an impossibility if the voters wish it to be so.

"That isn't an impossibility if the voters wish it to be so."

They don't. That's the problem.

The voters dislike illegals getting welfare because they want it all for themselves.
