Eisenhower, but I doubt he foresaw this debt mess we are in today, so the words hold no more weight.
a RINO from texas
Ike
I Like Ike
“but their number is negligible and they are stupid.”
I guess Ike never foresaw the insane level of stupidity that liberals have today compared to 60 years ago.
This was also said in the 1950’s; I don’t think it’s an incredibly ludicrous proposition that what was true about America then might not be true anymore.
Ike threw McCarthy under the bus.
FDR?
Patton saw Ike for the politition he was. That was a major factor in their astrangement.
I like “Who said it?” quizzes.
Ms. Smith, an Ohio 5th grade teacher said, “OK class, let’s begin by reviewing some American History..... Who said ‘Give me Liberty , or give me Death’ ?”
A sea of blank faces, except for Little Johnny a new enrollee from deep south Texas , quickly had his hand up, waving wildly....: ‘Patrick Henry, 1775, M’am !! ‘ he said.
‘Very good !!!’
Who said, ‘Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth ?’
Again, there was no response except from Little Johnny, ‘President Abraham Lincoln, 1863’.
‘Ooh-h Excellent !!!’, said Ms. Smith, ‘let’s try one a little bit more challenging, OK ... ??’
Who said, ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country ?’
Once again, Johnny’s was the only hand waving in the air and he said; ‘President John F. Kennedy, 1961’.
Ms. Smith frustrated by the other student’s reluctance to provide answers barks at the class, ‘Children, you should be very ashamed of yourselves, Little Johnny isn’t from Ohio and he knows more about history than you do.’
She heard a loud whisper: ‘F*ck those Texans !!’
‘Who said that ..? I want to know right now!’ she angrily demands.
Little Johnny shoots his hand up, ‘General Santana to the defenders at the Alamo .’
At that point, a student in the back said, ‘ Aw man, I think I’m gonna puke !!’
Ms. Smith glares around and snaps, ‘Who said that !?’
Little Johnny abruptly says, ‘George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.’
Now furious, another student yells, ‘Oh yeah... Well, s*ck this, kid !!!!’
Little Johnny jumps up again out of his chair waving his hand wildly and shouts, ‘President Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!’
With almost mob hysteria in the room someone from the back of the class yells, ‘You little sh*t. If you say anything else, I’m gonna kill you !!!’
Little Johnny frantically yells at the top of his voice, ‘Michael Jackson to the kid testifying against him, 2004.’
Upon hearing little Johnny answer...Ms. Smith faints.
The class quickly gathers around the teacher on the floor, someone says, ‘Oh sh*t, We’re all screwed now !’
Little Johnny looks around and proudly says, ‘the American people, November 4, 2008.
I’ve been surprised to read that even in its earliest days the people who came up with soc sec realized it was doomed.
This really amazed me as I had always thought: how could they foresee the birth control pill?
I’d appreciate any comments about this.
I also have to say, if I don’t get the soc sec I’m expecting to get I may be ruined. Of course, the way things are going I may be ruined anyway.
The suck had just gone on way too long. I’m a bookkeeper, I do NOTHING except stress about money now. My company’s money, my money, it’s just dreadful and it has been dreadful for 3 years solid now and for about 5 out of the last 7 years.
Please, I implore all Freepers and Lurkers and Friends, vote for Obama’s Republican opponent next November.
Whether it’s Perry or Palin or Romney or Somebody Else, just vote for that person.
GET THIS NINCOMPOOP OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!
I wonder who the “splinter group” were that Eisenhower was refering to....?
