Let's say I break into your house!!!
A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in
ages!!! It explains things better than all the baloney
you hear on TV.
Her point: Recently large demonstrations have taken
place across the country protesting the fact that
Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal
immigration.
Certain people are angry that the US might protect its
own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this
country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking
behind these protests. Let's say I break into your
house. Let's say that when you discover me in your
house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made
all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry
and swept the floors. I've done all the things you
don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except
for when I broke into your house.)
According to the protesters:
a. You are required to let me stay in your house.
b. You are required to add me to your family's
insurance plan.
c. You are required to educate my kids.
d. You are required to provide other benefits to me
and to my family (my husband will do all of your yard
work because he is also hard-working and honest,
except for that breaking in part.)
If you try to call the police or force me out, I shall
call my friends who will picket your house carrying
signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer
house than I do and I'm just trying to better myself.
I'm a hard-working an d honest person, except for well,
you know, I did break into your house.
And what a deal it is for me!!! I live in your house,
contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep
and there is nothing you can do about it without you
being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced
and bigoted behavior. Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you to
learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so that you can communicate with
me.
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is? …..ONLY
IN AMERICA..... If you agree, pass it on (IN ENGLISH.)
Share it if you see the value of it.
If not blow it off......... along with your future
Social Security funds and a lot of other things.

Obama-nomics
As the late Adrian Rogers said, "you
cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." This man is truly a genius!
An economics professor at a local
college made a statement that he had never failed a single student
before, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted
that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be
poor and no one would be rich, a great
equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in
this class on Obama's plan". All grades would be averaged and everyone
would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A
After the first test, the grades were
averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset
and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test
rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and
the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they
studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the
average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and
name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for
the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and
the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail
because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but
when government takes all of the reward away, no one will try or want to
succeed.
OR
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many
others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other
liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more
government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative,
a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had
participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that
her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he
thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on
the rich and the need for more government programs.
The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the
truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she
was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let
him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a
very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no
time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have
time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because
she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?"
She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes,
she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on
campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties
and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too
hung over."
Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office
and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only
has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would
be a fair and equal distribution of GPA."
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired
back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really
hard
for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey
has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my
tail off!"
The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the
conservative side of the fence."

Why Missouri has no illegal alien problem
See, article in "The Ozarks Sentinel" Editorial Opinion - Nita Jane Ayres, May 13, 2010
Missouri Ahead of the Game in Dealing with Illegal Immigrants
Editor's Note: The following appeared in our May 13 issue and is written by State Representative Nita Jane Ayres.
Nita Jane Ayres has agreed to write a follow-up editorial which will appear in our print edition on June 24. The follow-up will take a close look at the state's legislation and how it deals with illegal immigrants.
We’re down to one week to go in the legislative session and bills are moving through the process at a remarkable pace. My goal is to keep you updated on all the pieces of legislation that may be of interest to you and your family. In the coming weeks, I hope to do that. However, this week I want to talk about an issue that Missouri has already addressed in a variety of ways – the issue of illegal immigration. I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines about Arizona ’s new law aimed at dealing with those who enter our country illegally. It has been called the strictest immigration law in generations. While Missouri hasn’t gone to the same lengths as Arizona , our state has made significant policy changes that effectively deal with illegal immigrants who enter our state. Because of those changes, Missouri is ahead of the game when compared to many other states that are now dealing with this issue.
In 2007, the Missouri General Assembly approved HJR 7 to place on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment designating English as the official language of Missouri . Voters then went to the polls and approved the measure with nearly 90 percent voting in favor. With that, English became the official language for all governmental proceedings in Missouri . It also means no individual has the right to demand government services in a language other than English. A common language is the cornerstone of a cohesive and united state and country. Ensuring that English is our official language is simply common sense.
Another measure that directly addresses the issue of illegal immigration was passed in 2008. HB 1549 requires our Highway Patrol and other law enforcement officials to verify the immigration status of any person arrested, and inform federal authorities if the person is found to be here illegally. It also allows Missouri law enforcement officers to receive training to enforce federal immigration laws. Furthermore, the bill makes it clear that illegal immigrants will not have access to taxpayer benefits such as food stamps and health care through MO HealthNet. With the passage of this legislation, Missouri sent a clear message that illegal immigrants are not welcome in our state, and that they are certainly not welcome to receive public benefits at the cost of Missouri taxpayers.
2009 saw another significant piece of legislation passed dealing with illegal immigration. HB 390 ensures Missouri ’s public institutions of higher education do not award financial aid to individuals who are here illegally. The law also requires all postsecondary institutions of higher education to annually certify to the Missouri Department of Higher Education that they have not knowingly awarded financial aid to students who are unlawfully present in the United States . The bill represents another common sense approach to the issue as it ensures taxpayer dollars are not used to subsidize the education of someone who is in our country illegally.
So while Arizona has made national news for its new law, it’s important to remember Missouri has been proactive in addressing this growing problem. The laws we have on the books help ensure the rights and benefits of Missourians are preserved for actual Missouri citizens. It’s also important to remember that this country has always opened its arms to immigrants, which is why our nation is often referred to as the great melting pot. Immigrants from all parts of the world have helped make our country what it is today. However, our doors are not open to those who try to live in our country illegally. I believe Missouri ’s laws make that very clear and give our law enforcement officials the authority they need to deal with the problem.
Thanks again for allowing me to represent you in the state capitol. Feel free to contact me with your concerns, suggestions and ideas. My office phone is 573-751-2492.

Thank God for Pres. Obama
Written by an 82-year old very wise lady. She gives us a whole new slant on the amazing job Obama is doing:
That is right - I will say it, “THANK GOD FOR THE PRESIDENT.”
1. He destroyed the Clinton Political Machine - Driving a stake thru the heart of Hillary’s Presidential aspirations - something that no Republican was ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you!
2. He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - No more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and Freedom are safer tonight!
3. He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race - quit, Evan Bayh had never lost a race - quit, Byron Dorgan had never lost a race - quit, Harry Reid - soon to be GONE! These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010, dozens more will be gone. In December of 2008, the Democrats we re on the rise. In the last two election cycles, they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. In just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the House, if not the Senate, back to the Republicans.
4. He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Every Generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson very well. Liberals tax, borrow and spend - check. Liberals won’t bring themselves to protect America - check. Liberals want to take over the economy - check. Liberals think they know what is best for everyone - check. Liberals aren’t happy till they are running YOUR life - check.
5. He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative movement and brought out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans. Name me one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America !
6. His amazing leadership has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a “stimulus” to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded or moved off-shore.
7. In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not of the economy, but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends and strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the Greatness and Wisdom of the American people was flat wrong.
8. When the American People wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barack Obama woke up these Great Americans!
Again, I want to say, “Thank You Barack Obama!” This is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!

Jogging
I have nothing against jogging. It's actually good for you. It tones you up. It keeps the weight down. Good for your cardiovascular system. All in all it's a good thing. But, and this is a big butt(butt on purpose) Why the hell do they have to run in traffic. Across from my house there is a big park(Bloomingdale Park). It has a sidewalk surrouning it on three sides that runs parallel to the street. On the fourth side the sidewalk veers into the park a bit. The joggers feel the need to run in the street. Well, this street happens to be a service road for a highway in which cars zoom by doing 40-50 miles an hour. I am told that by running in the street it adds an extra 125 yards to your total. So the fuck what. All the jogging in the world ain't gonna do shit for you if a car rolls you over. It gives you an extra 125 yards? Stay on the sidewalk and do an extra 125 yards on the end. Come on people. This is not rocket science. No pain, no gain. Bullshit. When that car hits you, the pain you gain will not tone you up, get the weight down or help your cardiovascular system. No. It will fucking hurt.
There are people who circle the park every morning by walking. Walking is good for you. It gives you all the advantages of jogging, but at a lesser rate. These people, for some strange reason, do not feel the need to walk in traffic to gain the 125 yards. No, they probably can see the traffic and decide that they don't want to play there. Smart.

Illegal Immigration
Certain people are angry that the US might protect its
own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this
country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking
behind these protests. Let's say I break into your
house. Let's say that when you discover me in your
house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made
all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry
and swept the floors. I've done all the things you
don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except
for when I broke into your house.)
According to the protesters:
a. You are required to let me stay in your house.
b. You are required to add me to your family's
insurance plan.
c. You are required to educate my kids.
d. You are required to provide other benefits to me
and to my family (my husband will do all of your yard
work because he is also hard-working and honest,
except for that breaking in part.)
If you try to call the police or force me out, I shall
call my friends who will picket your house carrying
signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there.
It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer
house than I do and I'm just trying to better myself.
I'm a hard-working an d honest person, except for well,
you know, I did break into your house.
And what a deal it is for me!!! I live in your house,
contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep
and there is nothing you can do about it without you
being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced
and bigoted behavior. Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you to
learn MY LANGUAGE!!! so that you can communicate with
me.
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is? …..ONLY

Happiness
A wise man once said to me that as a man in a relationship you have two choices in life. You can be right or you can be happy. You can't be both. Because as long as she's not right, you're not happy. Think about it. Last argument...did you argue until you were right and she's was annoyed so now no one is happy. Or... did you say "yeah alright your right" and walk away so she's happy and essentially so are you. You ain't getting none when she's pissed
