    Heres an old one;

    Last week Obama’s library burnt down....

    and it burnt BOTH of his books.

    One hadn’t even been colored in!

    My only reply and new signature line;
    NOT my president.

    Now I shall sit back and laugh at the chaos he creates.

    How dare someone lecture us after eight years of the nastiest treatment and remarks. Afraid we’re gonna rain on their parade? Baby, it’s gonna storm!

    Another thing Ive noticed that maybe has slipped by some people... This generation was taught nothing but self-hate in public schools. I am American Indian and we constantly get people coming up to us saying “I’m so sorry for what our people did to your people.” We tell them in amazement—”It wasnt you, it wasnt me—those people are all dead. Just dont break a treaty now and we’re fine”. They usually go on to say how terrible this country is—and we have to stop them there, and say “WAIT one minute.. this is OUR country too. Our men fought in every war, our children have a stake in this nations future, DONT denigrate it” They usually walk away from us confused that we dont want to join their litany of atrocities against the U.S..

    We need to revamp the education system. We NEED Am vs Communism classes to be taught again. We need textbooks that teach the wonderful things accomplished by all our people. They need to know that many many nations and people would NOT be free without our ancestors sacrifice. We need teachers who understand that being proud of oneself and ones accomplishments arent a bad thing and just may lead children to be successful as adults and actually be a source of strength in our communities. Competition leads people to try to excel past what they might think is possible. The cause and “fix” for this generations poisoned attitude lays much deeper and more difficult than most of us imagine. I have NO idea how to begin even if they would listen to us :(

    “This is strickly about revenge against the conservative morals and values that we all stand for...”

    I agree with you. I see a deepening drift into the abyss with the economy (fear of Obamas denial re the capital gains tax and wild govt. spending will push it down faster and further than ever). I see a possible new Depression by next fall. High unemployment, closing businesses, retirement accounts wiped out, rising energy/food prices and more foreclosures. And I will sit and laugh. We warned them, there is nothing left to do.

    There is NO fix for a generation that disdains what this country stands for and how it built its greatness except for one thing.. to lose it all. A govt in crisis cannot buy its way out of trouble and citizens hatred towards it. When there is no other “fix” but to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps or fall—maybe... people will learn. I even have my doubts about that.

    They dont understand that terrorists still plan cruel attacks. People around the world still hate us—for our prosperity, our work ethic, our guts to defend freedom while they wussed out.

    Bright insight cannot come until the playtime is gone and that wont happen until our economy collapses or we are attacked again on a large scale. When people have to hustle to survive, they may learn. But that seems to me to be too little too late for us to fix anything. :(

    Just depressed today. I see no way out of this mess without great pain for the country—IF it survives.

  • Preparing for the riots and unrest and Zots!

    RBurke to dfwgator

    Our “riots” will be of the quiet type... you know; the buying and storing of guns and ammunition before Ba-Rot deems them illegal and calls for all to be turned in.

    Im absolutely ill tonight. I knew this day was coming but I wanted to be long dead and gone before I ever saw it happen in my lifetime. I told my children, Im sorry but its in your hands now, your generation did it, YOU fix it.

    What do we call this nation now? America is dead.

    The Day The U.S. Died
    (sung to the tune of American Pie)

    I knew a man who sang a tune
    He lied and promised them the moon
    when all along in secret, made his plans

    They hate our morals, hate our views
    and so they sought to subterfuge
    so sure we wouldnt dare to take a stand

    and hiding from within the his kin
    he conquered us from deep within
    no more U.S. of A.
    it died upon that day

    Our forefathers turning in their graves
    the constitution thrown away
    and we sat wondering, what the hey?
    the day the U.S died.

    we were singing,

    bye bye miss american pie
    no work ethic, no more honor,
    no more country and pride
    just the lazy and the greedy with that dicktator slime
    crying-
    Gimme what is yours and whats mine.
    I only want whats yours to be mine.

    No panic here, I filled my vehicles and Im just watching now. I work a long way from home so it wont be nice if it happens BUT it WOULD be funny to watch the DemoRats explain their position on drilling, etc IF gas lines go the way of 1972.

    It isnt a zot unless ALOT of people have been zapped very well-—I didnt want to believe it either but after traveling to another city an hour away—the next person who told us were the teachers at a school. Then a gas station owner confirmed it. Its gonna be interesting to see what happens after 5pm. Im curious too—but we did fill-up all our vehicles.

  • Spain appeals to NATO, US to help end Somali hostage crisis ( Four pirates )

    RBurke to george76

    But... the US is not the police of the world remember? Eurocentrists throw that at us every chance they get so... I dont see problems staying wayyyy out of it LOL.

    Why appeal to NATO instead of the UN?? (WE know why but I love seeing the truth hit the fan).

    Hmm lets see what do those 2 nations have in common (besides geography)? Could it be the word WUSS? Time for them to remember what happens to people who forget to stand for SOMETHING. This is gonna be fun to watch :)

  • Study finds prisons overrun with criminals

    03/20/2008 12:12:52 PM PDT · 33 of 35
    RBurke to chordmaster

    Beleive it or not, this isnt satire LOL. It SHOULD be but... FSP and all FLA Correctional Institutions are now overseen (read that as “run”) by the Mental Health dept. because of lawsuits in the state condoned/sanctioned by Libs. The Osterback case turned the prison system into a joke here and frivilous lawsuits abound.

    “”It’s certainly not an ideal environment. We’re not going to make any progress rehabilitating these people until we remove the criminals.” WHATTTTT... if you remove the criminals from prison, who would be left? LOL..that shows you how LIBS think that most in prison are innocent.

    The “startling conclusion that prevention programs are stymied by the extremely high number of criminals housed in the prisons.” cracks me up! give u a clue, prisons are NOT a day care system even though most LIBS act like it is.

    Remember one thing, NO-ONE goes to FSP on their first entry into the prison system. Those who are sent to FSP have already proven their inability to exist without extreme violence in ANY correctional placement. They are the worst of the worst.

    You want a REAL laugh? They diagnose an inmate with depression and say it is an abnormal condition, lol. Excuse me? Any rational person would say that someone who is in prison and NOT depressed is mentally ill, LOL.

    Inmates “gun” (masterbate at/flashing it to) female employees and are given a disciplinary report. Mental Health then diagnosis these same people with a “sexual/behavior” dysfunction and adds it to their psych problem list—which means they are given a FREE pass to do it over and over again with NO price to pay for it because it is now a recognized disease for that poor boy, LOL. Cant write em up anymore.

    Libs dont wanna deal with criminals in THEIR neighborhoods, but they placate prisoners by seeing them as the victim instead of those innocents who were truly victimized by them. They continue to put society at risk with their attitudes and actions.

    Rehabilitation after the fact isnt possible. You have to stop criminal behavior much younger—The same type of behavior that LIBS condone. I.E. broken families, low morals in communities, no spanking of children, no community or national pride, no school competition/pride, allowing bad children to remain in the public school system, victim mentality, giving childen back to abusive parents and not ending the parental rights of people who are rotten parents and making those children available to good adoptive homes (forget the foster home greed/abusive system).

    That professor needs to check his own mental health status, LOL.

    As funny as all of this seems, it isnt. The State run (RINO Crisp) system just drastically cut funding for correctional institutions here. They also cut funding for law enforcement-—which means they expect the ONLY group of people who stand between them and criminals to do it shorthanded, in dangerous situations without the equipment they need to do it safely, while LIBS chatise them. It will only get much worse. Sad.

    It isnt self pity and the sooner you realize that, the sooner the GOP MIGHT stand a chance in the future. It’s plain old disagreement on a LARGE number of issues. Registering as a REP doesnt make you a conservative and calling us names doesnt make conservatives likely to support a donkey (meant both ways) in Nov. Thats the cold truth. I will NOT vote for someone I disagree with, period.

    Im hoping someone will have the kahunas to start a third party and give us a REAL choice. If not, I will vote other races/issues and sitout or write in what I DO agree with for president. Either way, it WONT be McGiveItAway.

    Yeah, right.. You and Kristol speak for conservatives about as much as Al Franken represents our best interests. Good try but it aint horsehoes and Nov will find you desperately in need of a hankie and beer.
