Wise words from The Zolad on Abe Lincoln

   Posted by: admin   in Soapbox

The Zolad just forwarded this email:

——————————————————

Doesn’t this kinda explain on why you should vote for McCain.  Also keep in mind that Lincoln was a Democrat.  Man how times have changed!

Wise Words - Abraham Lincoln

During this political season let’s be reminded of these wise words.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s
initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could
and should do for themselves.

- Abraham Lincoln

The US is going to hell in a hand basket

   Posted by: admin   in Political, Soapbox

Somebody forwarded this email to me… this is very scary.  We are all going to be so screwed if Obama becomes president.  As much as you may not like McCane, you better vote for him or we’re all dead meat.

———-

About a year ago, I would have voted for Obama.  I have changed my mind three times since then.  I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy.  But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News, you might get some middle ground to work with.

About six months ago, I started thinking, ‘Where did the money come from for Obama?’  I have four daughters who went to college, and we were middle class, and money was tight.  We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.  I started looking into Obama’s life.  Around 1979, Obama started college at Occidental in California .  He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies.  ‘Barry’ (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan

During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a ’round the world’ trip.  Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate’s family.  My question - Where did he get the money for this trip?  Neither I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they were in college.  When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York .  It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barak - not Barry.  Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ?  It’s not cheap to say the least.  Where did he get money for tuition?  Student Loans maybe ?

After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000  Year.  Why Chicago ?  Why not New York ?  He was already living in New York . By ‘chance’ he met Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago .  Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko was named ‘Entrepreneur of the Decade’ by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association.  About two hears later, Obama entered Harvard Law School .  Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ?  Where did he get the money for Law School ?  More student loans?

After law school, he went back to Chicago   Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down.  But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland.  Guess what?  They represented ‘Rezar’ which was Rezko’s firm.  Rezko was one of Obama’s first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago .  In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with ’seed money’ for his U.S. Senate race.  In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than the asking price.  With ALL those Student Loans? Where did he get the money for the property?  On the same day, Rezko’s wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price.

The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama’s new home was purchased.  Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.  Now that we have Obama running for President.  Valerie Jarrett was Michele Obama’s boss.  She is now Obama’s chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first.  Where was Jarrett born?  Ready for this?  Shiraz , Iran !  Do we see a pattern here?  Or am I going crazy?

On May 10, 2008, the Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama was ’sacked after the press found out he was having regular contacts with ‘Hamas,’ which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran .

This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama’s visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will ‘take care of things.’

Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that were born in Pakistan ?  They are in charge of all these ’small’ Internet campaign contributions for Obama.  Where is that money coming from?  The poor and middle class in this country?  Or could it be from the Middle East ?  And the final bit of news.  On September 7, 2008, the Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on ‘This Week’ with George Stephanapoulos.  Obama on talking about his religion said, ‘My Muslim faith…’  When questioned, ‘he made a mistake.’  Some mistake!

All of the above information I got on line.  If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barak Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett; Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times, May 10, 2008.

Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, why haven’t all of our ‘intelligent’ members of the press been reporting this?  A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - ‘Beware of the enemy from within’!’

What is politics?

   Posted by: admin   in Hilarious

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’

Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the family, so call me The President. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.

So the little boy goes to his parents’ room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.’

The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’

The little boy replies, ‘The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep s%#t.’
