ma'am...
Your on my team then. My 11 year old grandson has a wooden snake that’s big, and it’s in sections so the darn thing moves like real. Finally I said enough. He had onen under my gas peddle when I went to get in my car and on and on. Nope, I can’t take them snakes. Never have been able to. CO
In only 1133 Days, 17 Hours, 28 Minutes, 14 Seconds TheZero and FirstThang will be outta The White House!!!!!!
I know, I know.... its still waaaaay too long but, hey, thats better than it was ...
I’m counting the days til January 20, 2013!
CHANGE"Not long ago I read a joke... It said all politicians when running for president promise change to the American people. We send them billions and billions of tax dollars and they send us the change.
Funny? Not really; there is too much truth in it to be funny.
But that got me to thinking... They all promise change.
A restoration that would take us back in time to a place where things ran better, smoother and life was more enjoyable.
Change? That, in truth, is what they have been giving us all along.
We used to have a strong dollar.... Politicians changed that.
Marriage used to be sacred... Politicians have changed that.
We used to be respected around the world... Politicians changed that..
We used to have a strong manufacturing economy... Politicians changed that.
We used to have lower tax structures... Politicians changed that.
We used to enjoy more freedoms... Politicians changed that.
We used to be a large exporter of American-made goods... Politicians changed that.
We used to teach patriotism in schools... Politicians changed that.
We used to educate children in schools... Politicians changed that.
We used to enforce LEGAL citizenship... Politicians changed that.
What hasn't been changed, politicians are promising to change that as well, if you will elect them.
When, oh when, is America going to sit back with open eyes and look at what we once were and where we have come and say "enough is enough"?
The trouble is, America 's youthful voters today don't know of the great America that existed forty and fifty years ago.
They see the world as if it has always existed as it is now.
When will we wake up? Tomorrow may be too late. When will America realize... Politicians are what is wrong with America ? This goes for BOTH parties... Republicans and Democrats, there is no difference anymore... they all do only what they can to be re-elected, not what is best for the citizens!
What is needed is for the Constitution to be amended to limit all Senators and Representatives to TWO terms in office like the President. *
Oh, by the way, no big pension either, social security just like the rest of us. How do they rate bigger and better entitlements than the people THEY WORK FOR? WHICH IS US!!
Being a politician shouldn't be a person's life work but rather a call to public service then back to being an honest hard-working citizen.
Politicians are no more than housekeepers and janitors... unfortunately they act like they own the building.
GO GREEN....RECYCLE CONGRESS!"
* The only thing that I would change in the above list is the term limits. I'd like to see congressmen limited to a maximum of no more than 3 two year terms and senators to 1 six year term. That means no "tag teaming terms". Once they have served and returned to their home states, that would be it. They would be able to take a couple of years off and then run again. Nope, one and done.
I think the first or last number of 1133 would be the only figure I might be truly happy with......
However, it is gratifying to watch his big issues teetering and preparing to go down in flames. Nomohealthcare nonsense! Nomoglobullwarming idiocy!
The endless network face time is beginning to take a toll on even his most devout syncophants. Most young people have already moved on or fading. He is beginning to make Jimmah Carter seem capable.
Hopefully, all of his socialist, big government issues will truely die and stay permanently dead. I went to a very beautiful Christmas party last night and without exception everyone was of the same opinion, he is out to destroy this country and is in a mighty big hurry to get it done.
I enjoyed the second much better.............
:-)
Too bad we don’t have a time machine to we could skip the next three years!
I almost posted that thought.....
Great minds, and all that.
:-)
hmmmmmm.... thats an interesting observation. My usual mix of annual Christmas events and parties are about 50-50. Its nearly impossible to avoid going to some of the ones with a lot of libs. Now that I think about it .... your experience has been pretty much the same as mine. Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll be more observant at all the upcoming ones. :)
Very funny.............
Number triple niner coming right up.....
Nein, nein, fraulein......
Mine?
