Once upon a time in a classroom
Once upon a time there was a little girl named Penny. Penny was a good student who studied hard and made good grades.
One day Penny got a new teacher. The new teacher, Ms. Handout, didn’t like that some of the students in her class were making failing grades. Ms. Handout starting asking these kids, “Why do you get poor grades?” The answers were varied but many of them confessed to not studying.
Ms. Handout considered the answers. She really wanted all students to get good grades. Perhaps the failing students just needed someone to help them study, she thought. She set up study sessions. A few of the students attended these free sessions including Penny and other students who had been studying all along. However, those students who needed the extra help the most didn’t show up or just came to a couple of sessions before deciding not to return.
Ms. Handout was still dismayed. She once again went to those failing students to see why they didn’t take the offer of free help with studying. Student after student offered up such excuses as “studying is hard” or “I wanted to study but my friends wanted me to go to the mall” or “I really don’t like to study” and even “I tried it once but it wasn’t my thing.”
Ms. Handout was a good person with a good heart who didn’t want to see any of her students fail. To that end she did what she felt she had to do. She took some of extra points Penny and the other hard working students had earned by studying and doing extra work and gave them those failing students. Now all the students in Ms. Handout’s class were going to receive mediocre passing grades and everyone was happy.
Well, maybe not everyone. Penny (and the other students who had studied) really didn’t feel very happy about having something she had earned taken away from her and given to someone else. She also was starting to question why she put so much work into studying when she would not personally benefit from that hard work. So Penny decided to take a break from studying because the outcome was going to be the same regardless of her efforts.
And that, my friends, is a simple explanation of Socialism.

Freedom of speech is under attack
And you won’t believe by whom. Or maybe you will. The extreme left in the form of Al Sharpton, a.k.a. Al Charlatan, is demanding that the Federal Communications Communication (FCC) remove Rush Limbaugh from the airwaves.
“We’re not going to stand by and let publicly regulated radio and television just go for marketing and promoting this kind of racism. Rush Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants to say, he does not have the right, though, to do it on publicly regulated airwaves. The FCC has the responsibility to set standards,” said Al Sharpton.
“You can’t say – in the name of free speech, you can’t say anything you want,” Sharpton said on MSNBC. “We’re not talking about stopping free speech. We’re not telling Rush don’t say what you want to say, say it at home, not on public airwaves,” he concluded.
All this from a man who had built a career on using divisive language to stir racial tensions and create an atmosphere of distrust between the races, especially a distrust by the black community of the white community.
Al Sharpton rose to the national spotlight in 1987 when he paraded Tawana Brawley before television cameras, declaring her a victim of rape and hate crimes by a group of white men, including policemen. A grand jury later determined that Brawley had fabricated her story. In the course of the events surrounding the inquiry, Sharpton made accusations of racism against the prosecutor who successfully sued for slander. Sharpton was ordered to pay $345,000 in damages after a jury found Sharpton was liable for making defamatory statements.
Sharpton has had other incidences where he has appeared to be a racist. He has referred to Jews as “diamond merchants.” He gave a speech at Kean College where he said “We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” In 2007 he attacked then presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his religion, Mormonism, with this quote: “As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don’t worry about that; that’s a temporary situation.”
While I don’t agree with every word aired on the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show, I do believe he has the right to speak. I also believe Juan Williams had the right to his personal feelings and observations although National Public Radio (NPR) apparently didn’t think so as they fired him for having an opinion that strayed from the liberal leanings of that entity.
If freedom of speech is limited to only those who agree with those in power then all of us, including bloggers, are in danger of losing that freedom.

A Little Conservative Humor
The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The recent actions of the Tea Party are prompting an exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, and to agree with Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck.
Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal-rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night. "I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken.
When I said I didn't have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?”
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields. "Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through and Rush annoyed the cows so much that they wouldn't give any milk.”
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons and drive them across the border where they are simply left to fend for themselves." A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a single bottle of imported drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley Cabernet, though."
When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR races.
In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans in powdered wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the '50s. "If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age" an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and are renting all the Michael Moore movies. "I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them." an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?"
This is the best summary of our situation

A visit from Senator Mitch McConnell
Spencer County Kentucky, traditionally a dyed-in-the-wool Democratic strong hold, received a visit from Senator Mitch McConnell today.
Senator McConnell was in the county to campaign for local candidates as well as to give the loyal Republicans in attendance a bit of pep talk leading up to the mid-term elections on Tuesday, November 2nd. Many of those local candidates were on hand and were recognized by the Senator.
Senator McConnell’s talk was punctuated with humor and many times was interrupted with applause. He reminded everyone the importance of the mid-term elections and with help from voters across the country, reversing the bad policies of the last two years was possible.
Senator McConnell predicted a Republican majority for the House of Representatives. However, he said that since only one-third of the Senate was up for re-election, the chance the Republicans could regain Senate majority was a long shot. With the Republicans in charge of the House, massive spending bills like we have seen in the past two years would be more difficult to push through. Also, House oversight on Presidential appointments would actually take place as opposed to what has been the recent norm.
Senator McConnell was accompanied by his wife, Elaine Chao. Ms. Chao was Secretary of Labor in President George W. Bush’s cabinet, the only person on the cabinet to serve the full eight years of Bush’s presidency. Senator McConnell is the Minority Leader of the Senate and would like to return to his former position as Senate Majority Leader.
The Republican Party of Spencer County has been working hard through the years to spread their message and try to elect candidates to county positions. Although voters in the county have voted for Republicans for national and state offices, they have yet to vote in Republicans to offices on the local level. This year is looking very promising. Stay tuned for an update!

The Crotch Salute...how Un American and disrespectful can he get ?
The Crotch Salute Returns
I'm sorry folks, but is this the a__hole that was elected President of our
country?
You know, the United States of America?
I do believe that saluting the flag goes with that, and also to honor the
servicemen who died, or is he above that?
He is the Commander In Chief, is he not?
Shower us all with flowery words and dazzle us with B.S. But actions speak
louder. How many passes do you have to give this guy before you realize he
is not one of us, he is working on his own agenda and he is not good for
America?
He won't salute our flag and pay respect to our troops but he will bow to a
Saudi Prince - WTF!
more. I just can't do it.
Pass it on if you feel the same way.

A Social Security History Lesson
Our Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,
No longer Voluntary
2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,
Now 7.65%
on the first $90,000
3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,
No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,
Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.
Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month —
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put
away’ — you may be interested in the following:
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —-
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —–
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— –
Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?
AND MY FAVORITE:
A: That’s right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!
———— — ———— ——— —– ———— ——— ———
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully
sure of what isn’t so.

GO OKLAHOMA !!!
Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver's license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.
