A plane crashed on a farm in the middle of rural Kentucky.
Panic stricken, the local sheriff mobilized and descended on the farm in force. When they got there, the aircraft was totally destroyed with only a burned hull left smoldering in a tree line that bordered the farm.
The sheriff and his men entered the smoking mess but could find no remains of anyone.
They spotted the farmer plowing a field not too far away as if nothing had happened. They hurried over to the man's tractor.
"Hank," the sheriff yelled, panting and out of breath.
"Did you see this terrible accident happen?"
"Yep. Sure did," the farmer mumbled unconcerned, cutting off the tractor's engine.
"Do you realize that is Air Force One the airplane of the President of the United States?"
"Yep."
"Were there any survivors?"
"Nope.
They's all kilt straight out," the farmer answered. "I done buried them all myself. Took me most of the morning."
"President Obama is dead?" the sheriff asked.
"Well," the farmer grumbled, restarting his tractor.
"He kept a-saying he wasn't... But you know how bad he lies......

The lawyers' party Thanks Sarah Rapp!
Thanks Sarah Rapp! The lawyers' party
A LAWYER WITH A BRIEFCASE CAN STEAL
MORE THAN A THOUSAND MEN WITH GUNS.
The Lawyers' Party By
Bruce Walker
The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers
Party.
Barack Obama is a lawyer. Michelle Obama is a
lawyer.
Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a
lawyer.
John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards was a
lawyer.
Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school
(although Gore did not graduate).
Every Democrat vice
presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law
school.
Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in
Congress:
Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a
lawyer.
The Republican Party is different.
President
Bush is a businessman.
Vice President Cheney is a
businessman.
The leaders of the Republican
Revolution:
Newt Gingrich was a history professor.
Tom
Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist.
House
Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.
The former
Senate Majority Leader Bill First is a heart surgeon.
Who was
the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left
office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a
sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976.
The
Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are
often the targets of lawyers.
The Democrat Party is made up of
lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and
Cheney, or who heal the sick, like Frist, or who immerse themselves in
history, like Gingrich. The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people,
who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of
America .. And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in
the eyes of the Lawyers Party, grow.
Against whom do Hillary
and Obama rail?....Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals,
manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses,
bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation. This is
the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of
lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their
clients, in this case the American people. Lawyers seek to have new
laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to
overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their
side.
Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But
it is an awful way to govern a great nation. When politicians as
lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as
opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life
becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties of our
very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social
class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a
great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from
lawyers.
Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by
judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent
lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has a place
for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not
vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next
president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of
lawyers and the law in America is too big.
When House Democrats sue America in order to
hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to
us, then the role of litigation in America has become
crushing.
Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot
be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate
American society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope
does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams
nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that
more lawyers with more power will only make our problems
worse.
The United States has 5% of the world’s population and
66% of the worlds lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been
introduced in congress several times in the last several years to
limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot
coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and
also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits.
This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on
by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political
contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association go to the
Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical
and product costs being so high!
Please -- DO PASS THIS
ON!!!
