You Might Live in a Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally …you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If the only school curriculum allowed to explain how we got here is evolution, but the government stops a $15 million construction project to keep a rare spider from evolving to extinction … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested “homes”… you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but can’t find work … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

Couldn't have said it better myself.  

My Pockets are Getting Empty

Graphic From the Moonbattery

I am tired of the government reaching into my pocket and taking away the very hard won proceeds of my labors and giving it to people who don't work, have babies for a living, commit crimes for a living, entered this country illegally, etc. I do not mind extending a helping hand to those who are unable to help themselves, whom misfortune has visited, but I really object to giving money to those who are just too damn lazy to do better, or who feel they are better than others who obey the laws, wait for the system to work, and work within the system. I REALLY don't like it when the administration then lies to me about it.

It seems that there is something that happens to people in the Washington metro area, especially once they become enmeshed in the political system. They forget everything they said or thought before, and become politibots, interested only in remaining in power in the Capital. They will say or do anything it takes to stay there, even knowing that what they do is bad for America, bad for most people. They pander to small groups to get the votes to add up, distracting the uninformed from the important matters, and concentrating the media attention on emotional matters of but little import. These days, it seems the majority of Americans are willfully uninformed, willing to accept what they see on a 12 second soundbite on ABC as the gospel truth, even when last year the same show had a totally different story when it suited the right candidate. People are not willing to pay attention, become educated in issues, read significant amounts of raw data, spend enough time informing themselves on candidates and their stands.

Seem harsh? Feel insulted? The examples are legion. How many people remember how vociferously Sen Obama spoke against executive privilege, or gay marriage, or individual health care mandates, or his opinion on medical marijuana, lobbyists in the White House, public financing for campaigns, oh yes, and raising the debt limit. How about extending the Bush tax cuts? He claimed Bush violated the constitution continually with Homeland Security issues, then carried out warrantless wiretaps, indefinite detentions, kept Guantanamo Bay open, and greatly increased drone attacks, including on American citizens, claiming the power of life and death without a court order even on American soil. And that is just Obama, the rest of Washington is just the same.

I am disgusted. Utterly disgusted. Not just in politicians, either, though they are front and center, but in the people who refuse to spend the time to educate themselves so that they can make good decisions, and the people who simple panhandle for a living.

So, what will happen when the milchcow runs dry? Sooner or later, it will happen. At the rate this administration is spending, it won't be long.

So God Made a Democrat

Originally posted on FrontPageMagazine

God looked down on Washington D.C. and said “I need someone who will steal morning, noon and night. Who will steal from the rich to give to the poor and steal from the poor to give to the rich and fool them all and keep all the loot.”
So God made a Democrat.
God said, “I need college man to come to a farm and tell the farmer that he can’t feed his hogs with lettuce from his own farm or use the manure from his pigs to grow his lettuce. I need an inspector who will tell him how much he can sell his milk for and warn him that his son riding on the tractor constitutes child labor. I need someone to pay a farmer not to farm so that poor people can’t afford bread.”
So God made a Democrat.
“I want a union organizer who hires non-union picketers to keep workers from working, a politician who fights for the people by taking money from billionaires and a clergyman who worships whoever runs on the party line. I want a banker who fights for the poor and gives to the party and a party that pays the poor man eight times to vote for the banker’s man.”
So God made a Democrat.
“I need someone to retire at 55 with generous benefits from a government job. I need lawmakers who will pass laws without reading them. I need teachers who refuse to teach kids unless they’re paid twice as much as any worker in their city. I need people to sit on commissions and make rules about lines of work that they’ve never been in.”
So God made a Democrat
“I need a Catholic who’s for abortion. A Jew who’s for Palestine. A Mormon who’s against the Church. A Baptist who’s for evolution. A Methodist who doesn’t believe in god. And a Muslim who believes in destroying America.”
So God made a Democrat.
He said, “I need someone who starts all the wars and protests against all the wars. Who is first in line to sign up to fight against his country but comes out as a pacifist when it’s time to defend it. I want war heroes who throw their medals over fences and then gather them up again when it’s time to run for office. I want men who are for everything before they’re against it”
So God made a Democrat.
“I need a working class man who who has never worked a day in his life, but always talks about caring for those who do. I need a man who talks all the time about helping women, blacks, lesbians, Eskimos and Martians get ahead and then drops them like a dirty rag when he has what he wants. A man who gets up at 11:30 in the afternoon to help the less fortunate by passing laws that will make them even less fortunate. A man who takes nine tenths of what’s meant for the poor and lets them have the leftovers.”
So God made a Democrat.
“I need a man who believes in himself too much to take responsibility for anything he did. I need a man who is tolerantly intolerant, who is outraged all day by everything in the world except his own outrageous behavior. I need a man who is for freedom of speech except when he’s offended, for freedom of religion except when he disagrees with it and for the right to bear arms but only for those weapons that existed in 1791.”
So God made a Democrat.
God said, “I need a party of jackasses that will always break through the fence and spoil everything that the farmer grows. I need bad men to test good men and liars, cheats and thieves with clipboards to teach neighbors to stick together against them. I need a man with no more conscience than a rattlesnake leading a band of fools with less sense than sheep. And I need him to keep the farmers and ranchers, the workers and doers on their toes so they always remember that evil never rests and keeping it down can sometimes be the hardest work of all.”
So God made a Democrat.

So true it makes me weep.   Unfortunately, the Repuplicans are not doing so well at convincing me they are otherwise. 

I am not a Serf....

What Does Conservatism Mean?

Wish we had a candidate like this now. One who speaks the truth without flinching. Instead we have haters of America, liars, narcissists and weaklings. Where will we be in five years, in ten?
