“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."*

Reminds me of the story of the liberal college student who came home for the summer, and was asking her "Daddy" why he wasn't in favor of helping the poor by contributing a higher tax percentage of his hard earned wages. "Gee Dad, don't you think it's right to help those who are less fortunate?" she asked.

Rather than answering directly, her Dad instead asked how she was doing in school. "I've been doing great", she replied. "I"ve really concentrated on studying hard and applying myself this semester. So far I have an A in every class." "How about your roommate?", her father asked. "Well... she's been skipping classes and partying a little too much, so her grades are really low." the daugher replied. "I'm concerned she may fail her classes and drop out of school."

"Well then", her father replied... "It seems the right thing to do would be to ask the administration to take part of your good grades and distribute them to your roommate. That way both of you would have a B average."

Needless to say, his daugher was not in favor of this suggestion! :)

Irony is reason I always wear rumpled shirts and jeans.

So the bright young country boy graduates high school and his dad is relieved to have more help on the farm but the son wants to continue his education and so goes off to college for four years and happily returns to announce his success to his dad.

"I've got a degree now dad."

"What kind of degree?"

It's a BS degree."

"I told you that schooling would be a waste of money, I can get you all the BS you want for free down at the feed store any Saturday morning."

"Well I'll go get a better degree then."

So off to university goes the ladd and returns two years later with the news that he now has an MS degree, to which the old farmer replies;

"Son, all that means is more of the same, just more wasted money."

So off the son goes again and a few years later comes home and announces; "Dad, I now hold the highest degree and man can have!"

"What's that son?"

"Well, it's a PHD."

"All that means is piled high and deep!"

------------------------------------------

Here's a funny one and it's a true story.

A young lady was interviewing an army general who was commander of a local base about a recent visit by a boy scout troop.

"So general, what did the boy scouts do while on your base?"

"We gave them a tour of the base, let them run the obstacle course, fed them in the chow hall, gave them an opportunity to test their marksmanship on the firing range and generally showed them everything a soldier does each day."

"You let them actually fire weapons?"

"Yes."

"But general aren't you equiping these young boys to become murderers?"

"No not at all young lady, you appear to be equipped to be a prostitute but that doesn't make you one does it?"

Dead air for about two minutes, interview over. :eek:lol:

In 1957, Towsend Walon said, "only accurate rifles are interesting!"

Other quotes;

"If a nation or individual values anything more than freedom, it will lose it's freedom; and the irony is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it will lose that too."
--W. Somerset Maugham

"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root."
--- Henry David Thoreau

Funny how the liberals avoided this thread.

Hard to debate the truth I suppose.

Here, I'll stick a quote in for the liberals.

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

(He was wrong in the long run BTW, but that is fodder for another thread.)

Hard to argue with an accurate rifle too, especially one held in the hands of an expert marksman.

Colonel Towndsend Whelen; "I always tell the truth, that way I don't have to remember anything."

In 1958, Townsend Whelen wrote the following passage. “Scientists remind us that nature intended human beings should spend most of their hours beneath open skies. With appetites sharpened by outdoor living, they should eat plain food. They should live at their natural God-given paces, un-oppressed by the artificial hurry and tension of man-made civilization.


Mr. Whelen went on to say, “Yet the mass of city men, stalking their meat at the crowded market instead of in the green woods or the cool marshes, put up with existences of quiet desperation. Their incessant anxiety and strain is a well-nigh incurable form of disease


Just as Towndsend never recieved the attention he deserved as a writer, so too the present day writer and outdoorsman, Jim Beers.

But then his writings are about the truth of current policies and practices, doesn't contribute to anxiety issues, is way too long for the current generation of attention span deprived, sound bite oriented people and doesn't fit the liberal politically correct agenda, so he is ignored and even ridiculed.

Beers is however clear and concise and most importantly very accurate in his wititngs.

Here is a good place to start with Jim Beers; Jan 2, 2009, "Three scams, the truth is not in them."

didn't Rogers understand that when squeezing the "haves" comes up short, the solution is just to print more money?

:hi:

Please do try reading some of Jim Beers aricles, he makes very clear concise points that all clear thinking, concerned Americans can and perhaps should use in our daily conversations with fellow citizens.

I'd like to see his writings and thoughts go global fwiw.

We don't need to find ourselves a half century down the road and say to ourselves, 'we should have listened to the still small voice in the wilderness.'

Here is a quote to rock everyone's socks:

"The necessary precaution is for the interrogator to perform a ritual washing first and say prayers while raping the prisoner. If the prisoner is female, it is permissible to rape through the vagina or anus. It is better not to have a witness present. If it is a male prisoner, then it's acceptable for someone else to watch while the rape is committed." ............

"Is the rape of men and young boys considered sodomy?"...

"No, because it is not consensual.".................

"If the judgment for the [female] prisoner is execution, then rape before execution brings the interrogator a spiritual reward equivalent to making the mandated Haj pilgrimage [to Mecca]...

From the desk (aka mosque) of Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi the top spiritual advisor to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the puppet ruler of modern islamic sharia Iran.

I hope Jimmy Carter lives to be at least 160 years old and suffers every miserable minute of his godforsaken life.

In the recent case of the Indonesian model who was granted possible clemency or at least a reprieve until the end of Ramadan for getting caught drinking a beer, the picture of her release with the tearful anguished look on her face, the look of anger on her sister's face, told me everything I needed to know, although the sicko liberal western politically correct media would never reveal it, plain to see it was that she had been raped by the sobs while in custody.
