This morning I think we could all use a little laughter to start our day.
Two Brazilian soldiers
The Dept Of Defense briefed the president this morning and told OBAMA
that two Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. To everyone's
surprise, all the color drained from Obama's face. Then he collapsed
onto his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.
Finally, he composed himself and asked, 'Just how many is a
brazilian?'
This is especially enlightening since he obviously has no
understanding of a billion or trillion either.
Let me just say that I had a wonderful time at the St. Louis Tea Party! The park ranger estimated that about 6 - 7 thousand people attended! It just goes to show that people really do care even in the Midwest.
Very well stated GloriousCause!
Won't be at the Alamo but will be protesting right in front of Keiner Plaza in St. Louis Mo with thousands of other Patriots! I would love to meet you Glenn but I have to make sure that my area is represented well ;)
I don't like the Continental part myself. We're not the only ones on this continent, so it would be like saying we're equal with Canada and Mexico... scary. I like the Patriot Party or some of the other suggestions like American Patriots. Just my opinion.
Here's the plain and simple truth. Criminals don't care about laws! If they did they wouldn't be criminals. Why take away my rights in hopes of making criminals have a conscience? It just won't work plain and simple.
I won't move either. I have lived in Illinois my whole life and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I love my state, I just don't love those who are running it into the ground. It's pretty much the same way I feel about the federal government. I love my country, just not those running it. We need to take back our states so we can take back our country as a whole! :)
cont'd ...After this she goes out to her nice looking car and leaves. I was appauled! If you have the money to buy cigarettes and lottery tickets, explain to me why my tax dollars are paying for your doughnuts?!!! I am not rich by any means, and there have been times where I have needed help. Working as a nurse assistant the pay is not great, and this is why I am now in school to earn an Associate's degree so I will never have to depend on the government again. I understand people needing help sometimes, but this was just ridiculous. When I received help I bought the cheapest things I could find, and made things from scratch because buying anything with food stamps was humiliating enough without having people look at what I am buying and judging me for it. This is not the first time I have seen someone USE the system, but for some reason this time it really bothered me. I guess it's because here I am struggling just to make ends meet, and in front of me I see someone who is wasting taxpayers money just because they can.
Can I just say that there needs to be a sweeping overhaul of the Food Stamp programs in this country. A couple of weeks ago I went to a convenience store to buy a soda. A soda that I had to dig up enough change to buy mind you. When I went to check out there was a woman ahead of me who had just purchased a pack of cigarettes and a $10 lottery ticket. After paying for these things with cash she used her Link card to buy 3 glazed doughnuts.
