A Cartoon but not funny.....

A very powerful cartoon.....please keep it going.

This should be posted in every school in the " USA ."

Only 31 words -- Think about it!

Isn't life strange? I never met one Veteran who enlisted to fight for Socialism!

86% will send this on.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

If Muslims can pray on Madison Avenue, why are Christians banned from praying in public and from erecting religious displays on their holy days?

What happened to our National Day of Prayer? Muslims are allowed to block off Madison Ave. , in N.Y.C., and pray in the middle of the street! And, it's a monthly ritual!

Tell me, again, whose country is this? Ours or the Muslims?

I was asked to send this on if I agree, or delete if I don't.

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.

Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having 'In God! We Trust' on our money and having 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I believe it's time we stand up for what we believe!

More attacks on Herman Cain

The news this week has been full of stories about an alleged sexual harassment by Herman Cain towards a female employee of the National Restaurant Association (NRA) during the time Cain was the head of the group. I say alleged because as of yet no woman has come forward and has been willing to step out in front of the cameras to substantiate the allegations. Meanwhile Cain has had a microphone shoved in his face continuously since the first whisper of this incident.

The NRA released a statement today that said, in part, that a woman had accused Herman Cain of harassment, a charge Cain denied. The NRA statement further stated that the association and the woman entered into an agreement, an agreement Cain was not a party to. There was also a confidentiality clause in the agreement and the NRA has agreed to waive its privacy in this matter but the accuser’s lawyer says the woman does not want to waive her rights to privacy.

In the meantime, Herman Cain, who never admitted to any wrong doing and who was not a party to the settlement between his accuser and his employer, must defend himself in the media. He has repeatedly denied harassing any employee but the media will not let it rest. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Apparently that doesn’t apply when the media is running with rumors.

One more bit of rant here is the obvious bias when it comes to media coverage of politicians. When Bill Clinton had NUMEROUS allegations of sexual improprieties (many of which were later proven to absolutely true), the media decided it “wasn’t news worthy.” So why are allegations against the front runner in the GOP race to replace Barack Obama news worthy?

There may be two answers to that question.

First, Herman Cain scares many Democrats because he can appeal to a section of the population that has historically always voted for Democrats: blacks and women.

Second, a reason I heard today is that the Republican Party is the party of family values. When it appears a Republican has done something along the lines of sexual harassment or cheated on a spouse, it is news. My question on this argument is “so therefore can we assume the Democratic Party is the non-family values party?”

Now it is time to quote Mahatma Gandhi again: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

GO, Herman, GO!

Oh, one more thing, those who like Herman are coming to his defense big time. This past week has been his biggest fundraising week ever.

Kentucky election for state-wide offices November 8

Voters in the Commonwealth of Kentucky will head to the polls on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 and will choose the leaders for the state for the next four years. In addition, the voters of Kentucky can also send a ‘message’ to Washington, D.C. as to what they think about the mess our country is in.

There are very clear and obvious differences in the candidates for Kentucky’s state-wide races. Let’s take a look:

For the office of Governor we have the current Governor, Steve Beshear, running against Republican State Senate Leader, David Williams. While David Williams may not be the most popular person in the state, it has been said over and over that he may be one of the most intelligent. Williams has a plan to address the three areas where he feels Beshear has failed the people of Kentucky: tax reform, education reform, and public union pension reform.

Kentucky needs tax reform to attract businesses. The state is losing businesses, industry, and jobs to the bordering states of Indiana and Tennessee. Tennessee has no state income tax; Indiana is about to become a right-to-work state and has abolished prevailing wage. David Williams’ plan abolishes the income tax and does away with the prevailing wage which drives up costs. Part two of this plan is to allow individual communities to become right-to-work zones thus attracting new businesses rather than driving them to other areas and states.

Kentucky also needs education reform. David Williams supports allowing students to attend neighborhood schools (as opposed to forced busing), vouchers, and charter schools. All three would afford parents and students choice and competition.

Finally, David Williams understands that public pensions and benefits must be privatized and more in line with private sector pensions and benefits to be sustainable. With pension reform, layoffs can be prevented and tax money can actually be used for something like the education of students as opposed to lining the pockets of union officials.

In all three areas, Steve Beshear has taken his cue from Washington and has chosen ‘winners and losers’ based on who is funding the Democrats re-election coffers. In addition, Beshear has lied to the citizens of the state when he said he had balanced the budget. What he did was use the Federal stimulus money until it dried up and then borrowed money from next year’s budget to make up the shortfall.

This election isn’t about “liking” the personality of Steve Beshear or not "liking" the personality of David Williams; it is a matter of “liking” Kentucky!

For Attorney General the voters of Kentucky have a clear choice between the incumbent, Jack Conway, who as the current attorney general has failed to stand up to the mandates from ObamaCare and EPA, and Todd P’Pool. Todd will protect Kentucky coal and the jobs associated with the coal industry and he will file suit against ObamaCare on behalf of the citizens of Kentucky.

The candidates for Secretary of State are polar opposites. The Republican candidate, Bill Johnson, wants to strengthen our system of elections by requiring picture IDs at the polls. His opponent, Democratic candidate, Alison Grimes, doesn’t think proving identity isn’t that important and even goes as far as saying that an address should not be a requirement for registration. This policy of Grimes is actually a policy funded by George Soros who is also funding SOS elections across the United States in an effort to undermine our country and our way of life.

For State Auditor the choice is between a political insider, Democrat Adam Edelen – a former member of the Beshear administration, and John Kemper, an independent thinker who will work to protect tax dollars from waste, fraud, and abuse.

For Treasurer the race is between Republican K.C. Crosbie and Democrat Todd Hollenbach. K.C. responded to an independent survey of candidates with Conservative answers such as ‘no’ to expanded gaming and for supporting indexed-caps on tuition increases at the state colleges; Hollenbach chose not to participate in the survey.

And finally for Commissioner of Agriculture the choice is between a man whose last name happens to be Farmer and a man who is an actual farmer. Democrat Bob Farmer is a comedian who, in his stand-up routines, makes fun of the people of Kentucky while Republican James Comer is a fifth generation farmer, former State President of Future Farmers of America, and a man who knows what it takes to lead the one of state’s largest departments.

With this knowledge, it is time to do what is best for Kentucky and elect Conservative, smart, and fiscally responsible citizens to the state’s highest offices – not only for Kentucky’s future but also for the future of the country!
