One more on health care.

"All the problems with the American health care system come from government intervention, so naturally the Democrats' idea for fixing it is more government intervention. This is like trying to sober up by having another drink.

The reason seeing a doctor is already more like going to the DMV, and less like going to the Apple "Genius Bar," is that the government decided health care was too important to be left to the free market.

We already have near-universal health coverage in the form of Medicare, Medicaid, veterans' hospitals, emergency rooms and tax-deductible employer-provided health care -- all government creations.

So now, everyone expects doctors to be free. People who pay $200 for a haircut are indignant if it costs more than a $20 co-pay to see a doctor."

Enough, I will stop here should you desire to read the complete text from which these comments were taken. You may go to Ann Coulter’s web site at, http://www.anncoulter.com/

Minorities

We need to show more sympathy for these people.

* They travel miles in the heat.

* They risk their lives crossing a border.

* They don't get paid enough wages.

* They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.

* They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language.

* They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day.

I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans ~ I'm talking about our troops! Doesn't it seem strange that many Democrats and Republicans are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegal's, but don't support our troops, and are even threatening to de-fund them?

? Stupid ?

I, as a panel of one, have become a little frustrated by this comment by the leader of these United States. The use of the one word stupid, "a: slow of mind : obtuse b: given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner c: lacking intelligence or reason : brutish," from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stupid. Dose the police officer in question fit or come under any of these definitions of the word used? This officer teaches his collages on the subject of racial profiling and how to avoid it.
President Obama, I am of the opinion that you should either apologies to the offices or just stop making comments with the hope that something other would replace it in the news of the day. I feel that there are many markings of a situation which can go beyond what should be needed to bring this question to an end.
I would like to direct a few comments to the man who was arrested. When asked to so some ID. Why did you feel it was unreasonable? At what point did you feel it necessary to lift your voice to the offices? Sir, you being of a much greater level of education that those around you, yet you lowered yourself to such a degree?

Yes, just my thoughts as I pass this way;

Neighnor?

“Who is my neighbor?” He spoke these condescending words with an artificial humility, and a semi condescension. This quote, Teacher of the law,” responded as he was asked a question by Jesus.
Surely not the tax man!
You can not mean that lady of the night?
You know that I would not touch a leaper?
A dirty faced child of questionable linage?
You don’t intend for me to be a neighbor to those of a varied ethnic background?

I have no question that these and other examples raced thought his mind as Jesus began to relay His story.

Remember When

I hope you can read this. Yes, it did bring back a LOT of memiores.




Yes, it is from the long gone Woolworth resturants a long time gone. (1955)

Department of Energy ?

Absolutely the funniest joke ever...ON US!
Let it sink in.
Quietly we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody out there have any memory of the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY... during the Carter Administration?
Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line...we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency... the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember.
Ready?
It was very simple... and at the time everybody thought it very appropriate....
The "Department of Energy" was instituted on 8-04-1977 TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE
ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh?
AND NOW IT'S 2009, 32 YEARS LATER ... AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS NECESSARY DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES

AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE!
THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY
'WHAT WAS I THINKING?'

Ah, yes, good old bureaucracy....
And NOW, we are going to turn the Banking System, Health Care & the Auto Industry over to government?
May God Help Us !

Just something to think about as we gas up our cars for the weekend!

This came to me from a frends e-mail.

For all the cat lovers

Enjoy the trip.

Here we are this morning in Flagstaff. We will keep on trucking toward home this morning. WE are so much enjoying the beauty and the many different landscapes which our Lord created on this thing we call earth. Just to drive and watch the land change as you just drive along. Now, as I do what is part of me, the trip does remind me a lot about life, just keep moving, the scenery will change.

Ya’ll have a great day;
