Fw: Fw: Outside the box



You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night,
when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the
bus:


1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.



2. An old friend who once saved
your life.


3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.


Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there
could only be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue
reading.



This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part
of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is
going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take
the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be
the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able
to find your perfect mate again.



YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.....................


The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble
coming up with his answer. He simply answered: 'I would give the car
keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I
would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.'


Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn
thought limitations.


Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'



HOWEVER...., The correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery because Obama's health care won't pay for her hospital visit anyway,
have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.



God, I just love happy endings!

Just gotta love it - just gotta - just the facts in a few words.

FROM A FRIEND:  This weekend I was  just passing through the small town of   McGregor when I noticed this poster.
I  went back to take a picture so I could share this with you.  I have no idea who put it up.  I  wish I did so I could give them proper credit.  The building is designated as a storm shelter area.  
I wonder if it is a City building, but I don't know.  I am surprised that it has not been circulated online or forced to be taken down by the city. ANYWAY, HOORAY FOR MCGREGOR!!!

Fw: THE GUN

The Gun Is Civilization
 by Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)
 
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that's it.
 
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
 
When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.
 
The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
 
There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat--it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.
 
People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
 
Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser. People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.
 
The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn't work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.
 
When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation... and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

Fw: Desert Humor....

The Taliban and the Jew 

 
A fleeing Talibani, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghanistan desert when he saw something
far off in the distance.  Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the object, only to find a little old Jewish man
at a small stand selling ties.
The Taliban asked, 'Do you have water?'  
The Jewish man replied, 'I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie?  They are only $50.' 
The Taliban shouted, 'Idiot! I do not need an over-priced tie. I need water! I should kill you, but I must find 
water first! 
'OK,' said the old Jewish man, 'it does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie and that you hate me.
I will show you that I am bigger than that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need. Shalom.' 
Muttering, the Talibani staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead. 'Your brother won't let me in without a tie!'

Subject: Word of the Day: Dhimmitude

Had never heard the word until now... Type it into Google and start reading... Pretty interesting.  Note that Muslims and certain other religions are exempt from the Obamacare penalties and it is supported by law.  We are surrendering from within!  The boy is leading us right down the path to total control!


Word of the Day: Dhimmitude
  
Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to islam.

 
The ObamaCare bill is the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia muslim diktat in the United States .  Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking" and "usury" and is thus banned.  Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this. How convenient. So I, a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax.  Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance.  Non-muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize muslims.  Period.  This is Dhimmitude.

Dhimmitude serves two purposes: it enriches the muslim masters AND serves to drive conversions to islam.  In this case, the incentive to convert to islam will be taken up by those in the inner-cities as well as the godless Generation X, Y and Z types who have no moral anchor.  If you don't believe in Christ to begin with, it is no problem whatsoever to sell Him for 30 pieces of silver.  "Sure, I'll be a muslim if it means free health insurance and no taxes. Where do I sign, bro?"

I highly recommend sending this post to your contacts. This is desperately important and people need to know about it - quickly.

Think about it!  Our vets deserve better and our illegals deserve less.  This is our congress at work......vote in NOV.! A little long but worth the read.

THIS IS TRULY AN OUTRAGE....


 




 


My name is d'Lynn.  I'm a disabled Vietnam vet.  I don't look too bad for a beat-up old fart, do I?  And that's my ride.  She's looking pretty good looking also, especially when you consider that she'll turn twenty this summer.  That's right, it's a 1990 with a 1990 sidecar.  I can't ride a solo bike, ergo the sidecar rig.  It's my sole means of transportation - rain or shine, snow or wind, and this summer also marks a milestone in both of our lives, as I will finally be able to pay her off.  Twenty years old?  What?  Why did it take so long?  You weren't paying attention, were you?  It's right at the beginning of this paragraph.  I am a disabled vet, which means I receive a veterans administration disability pension, which also means "I'm broke!"  Just one step ahead of being homeless every month, and that's not an idle statement or an "Oh, whoa is me" dire complaint.  There's a point to this, so hang in there a minute or two and read on.
There's a 25-year-old illegal immigrant woman living in Florida, with eight kids.  Yes, eight "anchor babies" and she receives just shy of $1,500 per month per kid, plus medical, plus food stamps.  Oh, wait.  I've been informed that I shouldn't call them Food Stamps anymore.  That's not PC.  It's all called 'Social Assistance' now.  You do the math on that yourself.  I'd say that she was schooled early in how to make it in the system.  Twenty-five years old, eight kids . . . . . yep, she started early.
You can whip out the calculator if you want, but this women who never has paid a dime in taxes of any kind, (and still doesn't 'she's 'illegal,' remember?) is here in this country illegally.  She hasn't paid one cent in medical for all the 'anchor babies', makes more in one month, legally, than I receive in over a year and a half in disability payments and I can't even get food stamps!  Oops, I mean 'Social Assistance'.
Technically I am eligible for 'Social Assistance'.  I was told it would be a walk through 'a gimme' being disabled.  No problem, and in the very next breath I was also informed that under the law the amount I received in 'Social Assistance' would be deducted from my disability pension.
Let's say I take a great photograph.  It was just luck, a one of a kind accidental, in the right place at the right time shot.  My local newspaper offers me fifty bucks to use the photo in a featured story.  (I live in a small town and fifty bucks is all they could afford.)  I have to report that fifty dollars to the VA as earned income,  which will immediately be deducted from my next month's disability check.  If I don't report it I'm in violation of federal law and technically they can stop my disability pension and prosecute me under a federal felony.  Pretty cool, eh?  For fifty bucks.
I see no point in dealing with two federal bureaucracies, so I don't bother.  What's the point?
 She's here illegally and with just one kid would make over twice what I receive per month.  She has eight and she's not a stand-out case.  She's not alone.  That's the way the system works.  Millions of illegal immigrants know this, know how the system works and know how to use it.  (Haven't you seen the pamphlet?  It's handed out all along our borders, "The Illegal Immigrants' Guide to Keeping America Just The Way It Is.") and that's just the way it works.
Did you know that the federal government provides a 'refugee' in this country with a monthly 'stipend' of $1,890, plus $580 a month in 'Social Assistance?' That's $2,470 a month, tax-free.  That's two and a half times what I'm allowed to receive as a disabled vet.  And just what did they do to earn this?  All you have to do is show up on our collective doorstep, raise your right hand and swear that you're a refugee and, bingo, receive $30,000 a year, tax-free.  That's more than someone making $15 an hour, and they have to pay taxes to boot!
Now, in defense of the Veterans Administration, they are doing what they can with what they've got.  This is precious little compared to what they should have to get the job done.  At least this country has a VA.  It's the Senate that keeps passing laws, rules and guidelines, cutting their budget, denying requests for more staff and computer systems to handle the massive work flow.  Their hands are tied by the very government that's supposed to give them what they need to get the job done, by the government you voted into office.  Don't scream at the VA.  I have.  It's misguided anger.
The point to this 'story?'  Just why are you paying such high taxes to support this incredibly screwed-up government?  Why?  And I'm not proposing you stop paying your taxes.  That's wrong.  There are good programs and reasons to pay your taxes and support our government.  What am I proposing?  It's quite simple.  Vote.
The government, our government, is broken and we as the voters serve as the maintenance crew.  We fix it . . . . . by voting.
 If your state Senator has been in office more then two terms, vote 'em out at the next election.  If your state representative has been in office more then two terms, vote 'em out of office.  We put term limits on just about every publicly-elected official in the country except the House and Senate.  Why?  Believe me, they know this and love it!  Ahhh - the power!
I don't care how much you believe your Senator or Representative is doing a good job.  They're not!  Look at the government you have, that we have.  How can you state they are doing what you want as the voter that put them there?  How?
 Vote them out of office.  Do it.
Change the course of this country's history by what you are granted and guaranteed under the law.  Vote!  And if you have the guts, the anger, the outrage, start a petition in your state for a state-wide initiative to be placed on your next state ballot.  Limiting the terms of office for your state senators and state representatives to your  federal government to two terms.
The federal government will never pass such a law, but you can.  You can get it done.  You can force it.  You can make it a law.
This is the first step in 'getting it right.'  Just vote.  It's simple.  It's easy, dammit!
This first step will send a very clear message. It'll work.  It'll put us back in control of them.  As it should be.  As it was intended in the first place.
Side note:  I sent this e-mail to a little over one hundred on my e-mail list.  If you believe I'm wrong or misguided or you simply don't agree, that's fine.  Go right ahead a delete this e-mail.  No problem.  Sorry to have bothered you.  But if you think I just might have a worthwhile idea, something we can easily accomplish, something that could be a small part at getting this country back under 'our' control, then please pass this along.

 Sounds great but it will never happen without the conviction and effort of the thinking citizens of America who need to stand up and be counted. If we rely on "someone else" to do it nothing will ever be done and congress will continue to raid the treasury for their benefit and the people who sit back and want even more benefits without any effort on their part.




A pretty good article, one we have to hope is correct, from a small town paper from an area I though was pretty liberal.

Barack Obama has awakened a sleeping nation
 GARY HUBBELL
 ASPEN TIMES WEEKLY

                         
Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to American the last 100 years.  Truly, he is the savior of  America 's future.  He is the best thing ever.
 
 Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of  America 's resurrection.  Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.
 
 That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for  America .
 
 Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years.  Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism.  The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.
 
 Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips - they've gotten off the fence.  They've woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.
 
 Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the  America  that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world.  Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion.  Welfare policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to lubricate the economy.  Our children left school having been taught that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy.  Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms.  Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around, reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and "disabilities."  Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again.  Lawyers routinely extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with dubious torts.
 
 We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in disbelief, and we went on with our lives.
 
 But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of dissatisfaction and unrest.
 
 In the time of Barack Obama, Black Panther members stand outside polling places in black commando uniforms, slapping truncheons into their palms. ACORN - a taxpayer-supported organization - is given a role in taking the census, even after its members were caught on tape offering advice to set up child prostitution rings.  A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White House as an advisor to the president.   Auto companies are taken over by the government, and the auto workers' union - whose contracts are completely insupportable in any economic sense - is rewarded with a stake in the company.  Government bails out Wall Street investment bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous bonuses as thanks for the public support.  Terrorists are read their Miranda rights and given free lawyers.  And, despite overwhelming public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy.
 
 I don't know about you, but the other day I was at the courthouse doing some business, and I stepped into the court clerk's office and changed my voter affiliation from "Independent" to "Republican."  I am under no illusion that the Republican party is perfect, but at least they're starting to awaken to the fact that we cannot sustain massive levels of debt; we cannot afford to hand out billions of dollars in corporate subsidies; we have to somehow trim our massive entitlement programs; we can no longer be the world's policeman and dole out billions in aid to countries whose citizens seek to harm us.
 
 Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing, they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their hats into the ring.  Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities must be radically re-structured.  Will it be a violent revolution?  No.  It will be done through the interpretation of the original document that has guided us for 220 years - the Constitution.  Just as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism, there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of nonsense.  A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year 2010 as the time when  America  got back on the right track.  And for that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.

Transcript of the Obama mocking tea party members.  And then of Rush thanking him on the air yesterday. Quite enterntaining and enlightening.
 
 
OBAMA:  Since today happens to be tax day (laughter) I should just point out that one-third of the Recovery Act went to tax cuts, tax cuts that strengthened the cornerstone of the American dream.  I've been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies (laughter) about taxes, taxes.  You would think they would be saying thank you.  That's what you'd think.  (cheers and applause)


RUSH:  Ladies and gentlemen, this is a classic illustration of authoritarian mocking control.  He hasn't cut anybody's taxes.  The Recovery Act, stimulus bill, it's more like loaves and fishes.  There are no tax cuts in that.  There were some tax credits.  It's all bogus.  But he wants to be thanked.  Okay, I will oblige.  Mr. President, I want to thank you for seizing General Motors and Chrysler.  I want to thank you for appointing a pervert as our safe schools czar.  I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for the generational theft that you have committed with all of this borrowing and spending.  You have spent the wealth of two to three, maybe four generations in the future, before they're even born.  I want to thank you, Mr. President, for insulting and endangering Israel.  I want to thank you, Mr. President, for driving up the unemployment rate to near double digits for years to come.  I want to thank you, Mr. President, for telling everybody that it's going to be double digits as the new norm.  I want to thank you, Mr. President, for exploding the annual deficit to the level where it can never be repaid. 


I'd like to thank you, Mr. President, for targeting and destroying private health insurance companies.  I want to thank you, Mr. President, for pushing for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to stand trial in New York City and receive full constitutional rights at a cost of $200 million per year.  I want to thank you for that.  I want to thank you for helping to destroy the housing market, Mr. President.  And, Mr. President, I would love to thank you for your arrogance, because arrogance is part and parcel of an authoritarian leader of a regime.  I would like to also thank you, Mr. President, for your divisiveness.  I would like to thank you for ignoring the public union pension time bombs waiting to explode out there.  I would like to thank you, Mr. President, for mocking and disrespecting the American people.  And I'd like to thank you for your never-ending support of the New Black Panthers and for ACORN.  I'd like to thank you, Mr. President, for embracing our enemies and snubbing our allies.  But most of all, Mr. President, thank you for arousing the sleeping silent majority because we have been asleep too long.  November is coming, Mr. President.  That is when we will really thank you.

Fw: Some new government jobs that YOU are going to now be paying for EVERY YEAR!!!!!!

This is one way to create jobs - --- the problem is that they are government jobs, so they are jobs that EVERY YEAR you and I have to pay for with higher and higher taxes.  The Democrats Just DO NOT GET IT!!!!!   Or maybe they do, if they are using these jobs to pay off Democrat donors who donate money to their re-election campaigns.  Illinois politics has now come to the entire nation!!!  Disgusting!!!!
