A mental disability

A little joke sent to me by my daughter, Michele:

A Republican, in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?"
The waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.

The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus, over there?"

The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat."

The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there honey! How's about gettin' me a cold mug of Miller Lite?" He too looked across the restaurant and asked, "Isn't that God's boy over there?

The waitress nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold beer. "On my bill," he said loudly.

As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the door.

Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands, praised the Lord, and did a series of back flips out the door.

Then, Jesus walked towards the Democrat, just smiling.

The Democrat jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me, I'm collecting disability."

House Republicans propose to increase FEMA fund

House Republicans have been vilified in the media as cold, heartless politicians who want to starve babies and throw grandma off the cliff. Representative Paul Ryan gets most of the attention because it is his budget proposals that actually suggest the United States TRY to live within its means.

It is no news that the United States has been hit hard this spring with tornadoes and floods. Complete towns have been decimated and people are hurting. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maintains a Disaster Relief Fund to help communities. However, extreme weather anomalies have begun to deplete the $2.4 billion fund.

Many articles are spreading like wildfire on the internet that the "Republicans are not going to let FEMA have more money." Perhaps the rumors started because most Republicans would like to see a balanced budget and are looking for ways to do so.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is Republicans are trying to actually DOUBLE the FEMA fund in light of this year's disasters. While a balanced budget is still a priority for the Republicans, the health and safety of the citizens of the United States is important to them.

Sometimes you just need to look beyond the media bias to seek out the real truth.
