Love this one. I know it’s been around a while, but worth repeating.

"If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

By Junius P. Long

Food For Thought


If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally, you live in a country run by idiots.

If you have to get your parents' permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion, you live in a country run by idiots.

If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote on who runs the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt, you live in a country run by idiots.

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you live in a country run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you live in a country run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you live in a country run by idiots.

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of grade school for saying his teacher's "cute," but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable, you live in a country run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones,
you live in a country run by idiots.

If the government's plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working, with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but can't find work,
you live in a country run by idiots.

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more " safe" according to the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

If you are offended by this article, you probably voted for the idiots who are running our country into the ground.


Think about it.

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but … after a shooting, the problem is the gun?

My Uncle Frank was a staunch Conservative and voted straight Republican until the day he died in Chicago. Since then he has voted Democrat. Shrug

Yeah, was just reminding some that they got what they asked for. Hopefully, those that give a damn will vote in our next election.
Look at what we've got and ask yourself, is this the future you want for your kids.

I can't vote this year, gotta wait until 2016. Kinda sucks because this year is really important.

"If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it." - Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)

Sad thing is, that they're all true. Sad, really sad.
Seems [to me] after 9/11 things started getting bad as to take down the American flag as not to offend a certain group of people, (and the like). But I'll tell you, within the last 5-6 years, everything hit warp speed. Stupidity running amuck. Guess that hope and change wasn't so great after all.

A crazy thing is there are folks who will disagree with all that, but then dont even realize that they voted people in who want all that.
