Can't Clear the water til you get the pigs out...

An old West Virginia Hillbilly saying: You cannot get
the water to clear up until you get the pigs out of the creek.

*SOME OF YOU MAY APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME OF YOU MAY NOT.*
*I DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR SENDING THIS BECAUSE OF IT'S TRUTH.*

*If any other of our presidents had doubled the
national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in
one year, would you have
approved?*

*If any other of our presidents had then proposed to
double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had criticized a state
law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just
an ignorant hot head? *

*If any other of our presidents joined the country of
Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to
continue to allow illegal
immigration, would you question his patriotism and
wonder who's side he was on? *

*If any other of our presidents had pronounced the
Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot? *

*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers
out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling
on companies that
have one of the best safety records of any industry
because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed? *

*If any other of our presidents had used a forged
document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American
workers unemployed would you support him? *

*If any other of our presidents had been the first
President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a
press conference, would
you have laughed and said this is more proof of how
inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the
scenes? *

*If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you
have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had reduced your
retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a
majority stake in GM, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the
expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown
a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown
had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you
have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of
England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought
it a proud moment for America ? *

*If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King
of Saudi Arabia would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and
made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have
brushed it off as a
minor slip? *

*If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet
and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in
their income taxes,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had stated that there
were 57 states in the United States , wouldn't you have had second
thoughts about his capabilities?
*If any other of our presidents would have flown all
the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics
would benefit him walking
out his front door in his home town, would you not have
thought he was a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. *

*If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish
illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican
ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to
flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment? *

*If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000
gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you
have concluded he's a hypocrite?*

*If any other of our presidents' administrations had
okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet
fighter in downtown
Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have
wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11? *

*If any other of our presidents had failed to send
relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people
killed or made homeless than
in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major
ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? *

*If any other of our presidents had created the
position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and
Senate on much of what is
happening in America , would you have ever approved. *

*If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing
of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional
authority to do so, would you have approved? *

*So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes
him so brilliant and impressive? *

*Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all
this in 24 months -- so you have that much time to come up with an answer.*

*Every statement and action in this email is factual
and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bungle is a
matter of record and completely verifiable. *
AND NOW, HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO RE-ELECT HIM. 


WAKE UP AMERICA 2012 IS UPON US.


*"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to
do nothing."*

Here comes the attacks

Michele Bachmann has formally announced her candidacy for President of the United States. As soon as the announcement had been made (and for some reporters, even before Congresswoman Bachmann's announcement), the attacks were starting. I even saw a post from one blogger who referenced her breasts!

Every slip of the tongue is magnified to make Michele Bachmann look stupid. Good luck with that, reporters. Congresswoman Bachmann is extremely intelligent and will prove each and everyone of those reporters wrong in the long run.

This brings us to the double standard in the media when it comes to women candidates for national office, regardless of the political affiliation.

When Sarah Palin was running for Vice President in 2008, the media attacked her with a viciousness never before seen in the United States. Her folksy manner of speaking was ridiculed. However, Joe Biden's profanity laced asides were just laughed off. Personally I would rather hear a "Golly gee" than the F-bomb that comes from the potty mouth of Vice President Biden.

Also in 2008 Hilary Clinton was running for the Democratic nomination for President. We heard constant attacks on her laugh, her attire (she of the pant suits - nothing wrong with that, really), and her thick ankles as ankles would have any bearing on her ability to lead. Although I would probably not agree with even a fraction of the issues with Ms. Clinton, how she looks and how she dresses should NEVER have been a topic for discussion.

In 1984, Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to run for Vice President of the United States from either the Democratic or Republican parties. Perhaps we were more civil 27 years ago but I don't recall Ms. Ferraro being attacked like today's modern women. What is the difference? Perhaps it is because there are more news outlets and every one of them is vying for market share and feel the need to some how stand out. Here's an idea - how about we reward those reporters who take the high road and discuss qualifications and not personal attributes!

I like IKE means more than ever now...

When I was a kid, I couldn't understand why Eisenhower was so popular.  Maybe this will explain why. Sent by a friend.     General Eisenhower Warned Us.   It is a matter of history  that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened' This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet.. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated' while many in the world looked the other way! Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.              This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world. How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center 'NEVER HAPPENED',                because it offends some Muslim??? Do not just delete this message; it will take only a minute to pass this along.       FREEDOM ISN'T FREE...SOMEONE HAD TO PAY FOR IT!
