Entitlements: Democrat Incompetence in Song

I just received the following lyrics from Sharad Karkhanis, who says that a lawyer friend had written them. One point I would add: the chief victims of the Democrats' stupidity will be, as always, the poor not the rich. The Democrats give the poor a plate of spam, and cheer as the money supply is doubled or troubled. Spam on a plate for the poor, trillions in subsidies to stock holders. The Democrats are true altruists.

ENTITLEMENTS

The Bush-Chaney era
Has come to an end
Now it is time to tax and spend
With Barack Hussain
And his wife Michelle
The U.S.A. will go straight to Hell
Living here will be such a pain
In four short years
We'll be down the drain

American hearts will fill with contrition
And working people will lose all ambition.
Socialism is our new theme
It makes me so mad, I just want to scream!

Freebies, entitlements
More, More, More, More
The Hell with our soldiers.
Just end the damn war.
Free Health care, Free rent, free food as well.
Just keep taxing the rich
Let them all rot in Hell.

First in War
First in Peace
But if four short years
Our work force will decrease.
Why work hard each night, each day
Tax the rich more
Let's make them pay.

America the beautiful
So goes the song
But in only four years
So much can go wrong.
Can we really trust Barack H. Obama
We'd be much better off
With the Dalai Lama.

The Stock Market Decrements Incompetence of Democrats, Obama

The stock market fell on Wednesday despite rising consumer sales and lower unemployment. Today, it was down for most of the day but then ended approximately even. The Fed has laid the ground work for a major rally, yet investors remain nervous. In fact, the Fed has done so much to transfer wealth from the general American public to Wall Street and stock holders that one can truly say that America's stock holders have become the chief welfare beneficiaries of all time. Yet, they continue to spurn this gift.

The reason, of course, is that the Democrats turned the massive subsidization of Wall Street into a more general pork-and-graft bill.

It is likely that the markets are discounting the ever-more-evident failure of American democracy; the evident stupidity of the American Congress; the incompetence of the public in electing the current government; and, most of all, the incompetence of Wall Street publicists, the New York Times, CNN, NBC, etc.

Half Man, Half Boy

>>1/2 boy 1/2 man

If you read this, you WILL forward it on. You just won't be able to stop yourself.

The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax
his own car than wash his father's, but he has never collected unemployment either.

He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and a 155mm howitzer.

He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him, but he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark.

He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must.

He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional.

He can march until he is told to stop,or stop until he is told to march.

He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient.

He has two sets of fatigues: he washes one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry.

He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes, and fix his own hurts.

If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low.

He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands.

He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job.

He will often do twice the work of a civilian, draw half the pay, and still find ironic humor in it all.

He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime.

He has wept in public and in private, for friends who have fallen in combat and is unashamed.

He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to 'square-away ' those
around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking.

In an odd twist, day in and day out, far from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful.

Just as did his Father, Grandfather, and Great- grandfather, he is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years.

He has asked nothing in return, except our friendship and understanding. Remember him, always, for he has earned our respect and admiration with his blood.

And now we even have women over there in danger, doing their part in this tradition of going to War when our nation calls us to do so.

As you go to bed tonight, remember this shot. . .

A short lull, a little shade and a picture of loved ones in their helmets.

A Prayer wheel for our military... please don't break it Please send this on after a short prayer.

Prayer Wheel

'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.'

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops in Afghanistan , sailors on ships, and airmen in the air, and for those in Iraq , Afghanistan and all foreign countries.

There is nothing attached... This can be very powerful...

Of all the gifts you could give a U.S. Airman, Soldier, Coastguardsman, Marine, or Sailor, prayer is the very best one.

I can't break this one, sorry. Pass it on to everyone and pray.

"A Patriot" Wants A Divorce

Nancy Razik just forwarded this e-mail from "A Patriot". I would go further: they can keep the Federal Reserve Bank, we will take gold.

>Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, Obama supporters, et al:

We Want a Divorce


We have stuck together since the late 1950s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right, so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile, chalk it up to irreconcilable differences, and go our own ways.

Here is a model dissolution agreement. Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. We don’t like re-distributive taxes so you can keep them. You are also welcome to keep the liberal judges and the ACLU.

Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O’Donnell (you are however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move them).

We’ll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies, and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan Hockey Moms, greedy CEOs, and Rednecks.
We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

You can make nice with Iran, Palestine, and France, and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or way of life are under assault, we’ll protect them militarily.

We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian Values. You are welcome to Scientology, Humanism, and Shirley McClain. You can have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

We’ll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volvo, Subaru and Yugo you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare, that is if you can find any practicing doctors (that is“practicing”, Howard Dean) who will follow to your turf. We’ll continue to believe health care is a luxury and not a right.

We’ll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The National Anthem. I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute Imagine, I’d Like to Teach The World To Sing, Kum Ba Ya, or We Are the World.

We’ll practice trickle down economics, and you can give trickle up poverty its best shot.

Since it often so offends you, we’ll also keep our History, our Name, and our Flag.

Would you agree to this? In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you ANWAR on who will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,

American Patriot
