FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY REVISITED

At the top right hand corner of Page 17 of the New York Post of January 24th, 2009, was a short column entitled "Replacing Michelle" in the National Review "The Week" column. I found this interesting, so here it is, word for word, as it appeared a few days ago......

'Some employees are simply irreplaceable. Take Michelle Obama: The University of Chicago Medical center hired her in 2002 to run "programs for community relations, neighborhood outreach, volunteer recruitment, staff diversity and minority contracting." 

In 2005 the hospital raised her salary from $120,000 to $317,000 - nearly twice what her husband made as a Senator.

Oh did we mention that her husband had just become a US Senator? He sure had.  Requested a $1 Million earmark for the UC Medical Center, in fact. Way to network Michelle!

But now that Mrs Obama has resigned, the hospital says her position will remain unfilled.

How can that be, if the work she did was vital enough to be worth $317,000?

We can think of only one explanation: Senator Roland Burris's wife wasn't interested.

Maybe not quite as creative as the Hillary Clinton cattle futures fix - but kudos nonetheless.

ED FREEMAN

You're an 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley, 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam.  Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the Medi-Vac helicopters to stop coming in. 
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day. 

Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn't seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it. 

 Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come. He's coming anyway. And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses. And, he kept coming back 13 more times. And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out. 

Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman, died at the age of 80, in Boise, Idaho. May God rest his soul. Oh yeah, Paul Newman died that day too. I guess you knew that - He got a lot more press than Ed Freeman the real hero. 

CHOOSING A WIFE

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new makeup; buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done th is to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her. Then he married the one with the biggest tits. Men are like that, you know.

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

US BEING PUT ON NOTICE

Reportedly there are six states putting the US Government on notice of their sovereignty under the 10th amendment of the US Constitution. So far I have only been able to discover actually docs for three.

1. Georgia
2. Arizona
3. New Hampshire

The other three are Ohio, Oklahoma and Washington state. There are many hits when doing a Google search but nothing I have seen from the states' actual web sites showing and or quoting the legalise of resolution.

I also read last year about the state of Montana passing secession legislation over the 2nd amendment. Haven't rediscovered that link although doing a Google search brings the expected multiple million hits. Interestingly, it appears all states at one time or another have rattled the secession sabre and those are found here.

Regardless, I believe we will live to see armed conflict in America again and with the blessing of and resulting from the long-term planning of the largely liberal stranglehold on this country since the election of FDR. There can be no question where our current president stands concerning personal liberty and freedom - I would think the idea of a Civil Defense Corps would give you a reminder and clue, of things like the SS and or other Brown-Shirted, Jack-Booted thugs sent into the night by other power hungry elitest of human history. And if he can only get all those damned guns out of the equation...

AUSTRAILIAN GUN BAN UPDATE

From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia

Hi Yanks & Canucks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now in:

·        Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent

·        Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent

·        Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent

·        In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 30 percent. (Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!)

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.

Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased after such monumental effort and expense was expended in 'successfully ridding Australian society of guns.' You won't see this on the American, Canadian, evening news or hear your MP, governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.

The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

CRIMINALS DO NOT REGISTER THEIR GUNS!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h45ih.txt.pdf

What part of "shall not be infringed upon" do these arrogantly criminal bastards not understand? Do they really believe they can pull this one off without dire circumstances to the stability of this country? 

All you who believe this is about guns & criminals is a fool! How far away is enactment of Sahria Law and the outright abolishment of all things Judeo-Christian or any other form of worship or non-worship aside from Islam? 

WAKE UP!

FOR ALL LIBERAL DOGS

The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day... 

'We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.' 

ARTICLE I: 

You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything. 

ARTICLE II: 

You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be. 

ARTICLE III: 

You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy. 

ARTICLE IV: 

You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. 

ARTICLE V: 

You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care. 

ARTICLE VI: 

You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair. 

ARTICLE VII: 

You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure. 

ARTICLE VIII: 

You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. Amen and Amen 

ARTICLE IX: 

You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights. 

ARTICLE X: 

This is an English speaking country .We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! 

Lastly 

ARTICLE XI: 

You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution.The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!
