The $50 Lesson

I borrowed this from Justiceman on FoxNation:

Great analogy!
The $50 Lesson

I recently asked my friends' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?' She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'

Her parents beamed with pride.

"Wow...what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ' Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50? '

I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'

Her parents still aren't speaking to me.

So much for humanitarian fig leaf

The "humanitarian protesters" tried to kidnap three of the Israeli soldiers. Further evidence of weaponry was found:

... After the incident, 9mm bullet casings were found - a kind not used by the naval commandos. The Israel Defense Forces says that during the operation a number of pistols and an M-4 rifle were taken from soldiers, but they believe that the Turkish activists had other weapons. The captain of the ship told the naval commando chief that the guns were thrown overboard before the ship was completely taken over.

There are at least a few honest journalists that challenge the protesters on their version of what happened:

The above from Just Journalism which has an ever growing reputation for unbiased reporting.

Now don't get me wrong. The handing over of Israel by the British many decades ago was probably not in the best interests of the region. But it is done. It can't be undone unless you support another holocaust. So there has to be some way to come to an agreement. But as long as the Palestinians allow Hamas to represent them, there will likely be violence.

Senate backs Israel Blockade

87 out of 100 senators signed letter to President Obama stating their support for Israel in it's blockade of Gaza.

Yes I'm sure Doc will have something to say about AIPAC

If the flotilla people really cared about Gaza, they would submit to search just like international law requires and the aid would make it to Gaza. But they really don't care, they just want to stir up shit. For their Muslim radical buddies.

DDay Photos

These are amazing pictures! I didn't realize there were so many air ships with the invasion and you never see in the movies that the rifles were wrapped in plastic. Many many other details.

Thanks to our men and women in the service.

Bye Bye Helen

Sorry, but your apology was not enough. Unfortunately, she spilled the beans on what all too many feel in America and the world today. The Arab extremists will not be satisfied till there is a holocaust they can not deny. But at least Helen Thomas is OUTTAHERE!!!

Would you believe I got this from my boss? Is he trying to tell me something?

Department of Labor Investigation

The North Dakota Department of Labor claimed a small Bismarck farmer was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him.

Department of Labor employee: I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them.

Farmer: Well, there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board.

Then there's the mentally challenged worker. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.

NCDL employee: That's the guy I want to talk to...the mentally challenged one.

Farmer: That would be me.
