This is attributed to Abraham Lincoln, but according to the link below, that's apparently inaccurate; but these words written so long ago, allegedly by William Boetcker, ring so true today.

~~~~

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

I love the term “Maosketeer” and think we should make it stick.

He got used to having smoke blown up his fourth point of contact. Now only his enemies are the only ones blowing smoke up there.

If this Fox News Truth-o-meter works on the White House website, perhaps next month they can post the Ahmadenijad Truth-o-meter, or the Global-Warming Truth-o-meter.

You know, I have always had a respect for the man holding the office of President. Even for Bill Clinton, though it was not easy. But I cannot get past the utter contempt I have for this President. Even Clinton was not adverse to making a decision, but Obama?

Barack is a Beta-male. That’s why he hired Rahm to engage in the sophmoric overagressive dirty tricks that he can’t perform himself. Now that his Administration has proven ineffectual and he has nothing but these juvenile attacks to show for the past year of work, he has no choice, but to fire Rahm. Barack seems to see Rahm as his Che. It’s just a matter of time before he looks at the playbook and sends Rahm to the modern equivalent of Bolivia, so I don’t see much of a future for Rahm.

“Bo is way too scared to fire Rahm.”

Ain’t that the truth. I don’t care for his worldview, but at least Rahm has genuine cojones. Can’t say that about his boss.

Rahm & Axelrod is the wizard behind the curtain. Obummer can’t think without them and Michele’s girlfriend Valarie.

He got this far by only voting ‘present’.
