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."
