Political statements ... Thx Sarah R!

If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. ~Jay Leno~ The problem with political jokes is they get elected. ~Henry Cate, VII~ We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office ~Aesop~ If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven. ~Will Rogers~ Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. ~Nikita Khrushchev~     When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~Clarence Darrow~ Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. ~John Quinton~ Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you. ~Author unknown~ Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. ~Oscar Ameringer~ I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them.                    ~Adlai Stevenson, 1952~ A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.                       ~Tex Guinan~ I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~Charles de Gaulle~ Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.                                ~Doug Larson~ There ought to be one day -- just one -- when there is open season on Congressmen.                       ~Will Rogers~

Divorce Agreement ... Thx Gary ! ! You are becoming one of my top contributors for my blog skegley.blogspot.com SamKat This is so well stated!

DIVORCE AGREEMENT-  -

WRITTEN BY YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT

The person who wrote this is a college (law) student. Perhaps there is hope for us after all.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT

 

THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG PERSON, A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM.

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together  since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other
for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable
differences and go our own way.

Here is our separation agreement:

--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly
agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.

--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.

--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.

--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.

--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.

--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.

--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.

--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks.

--We'll keep Bill O’Reilly, and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .

--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.

--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.

When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.

--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.

--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.

--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.

 --We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."

 --I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".

 --We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.

 --Since it often so offends you, 

we'll keep our history, 

our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. 

In the spirit of friendly
parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,

John J. Wall

Law Student and an American

P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin & Charlie Sheen, Barbara Streisand, ( Hanoi ) Jane Fonda with you.

P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

Post This Every Time You Get It ! Let's Keep This Going, Maybe Some Of It Will Start Sinking In!!

Male logic Flawless ... Thx Lyle S!

Male Logic...Flawless

 

So this is a conversation between a man and his wife.  Please note that she asks 5 or 6 questions which I answered quite simply and she is speechless after answering only one question.  I’ll bet this happens more often than not to most husbands out there, I’m just saying.

 

 

Critical Thinking

At Its Best!

 

Woman: 
Do you drink beer?

Man: Yes

 

Woman: 
How many beers a day?

 

Man: 
Usually about 3

 

Woman: 
How much do you pay per beer?

 

Man: $5.00 which includes a tip(This is where it gets scary !)

 

Woman: 
And how long have you been drinking?

 

Man: 
About 20 years, I suppose

 

Woman: 
So a beer costs $5.00 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450.00.  In one year, it would be approximately $5400.00 correct?

 

Man: 
Correct

 

Woman: 
If in 1 year you spend $5400.00, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000.00 correct?

 

Man: 
Correct

 

Woman: 
Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a   Ferrari?

 

Man: 
Do you drink beer?

 

Woman: 
No.

 

Man: 
Where's your Ferrari?

 

 

America's to[ general resigns ... Thx Lyle S! o strike the military again. Why don't his voters feel the shame?

Fwd: America's top General resigns

 

>>> By Ray Starmann
>>>
>>> Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, in concern for the lives of

>>>
>>> I’ve called this press conference to announce that I am

>>> retiring after 39 years on active duty, which included combat
>>> service in Iraq leading the finest Marines in the world.
>>>
>>> I am resigning as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
>>> retiring from the Marine Corps for the following reasons:
>>>
>>> For the last seven years during the Obama Administration:
>>>
>>> I have watched and remained silent as hundreds of senior officers
>>> were forced to resign or were forcibly retired because of their
>>> disagreements with the current policies wrecking the military.
>>>
>>> I have watched and remained silent as people who have never served
>>> a day in uniform laid siege to the glorious traditions of the US
>>> military.
>>>
>>> I have watched and remained silent as male ROTC cadets paraded in
>>> red high heels, male soldiers conducted physical training wearing
>>> pregnancy simulators, combat units dealt with breastfeeding and
>>> lactation issues in the field and sensitivity training became the
>>> standard operating procedure of the US military.
>>>
>>> I have watched and remained silent as trans-genders were
>>> authorized to serve in the ranks, and three females graduated from
>>> the US Army Ranger School, under what I believe are the most
>>> dubious of circumstances.
>>>
>>> My predecessors in the JCS chose to look the other way, and like
>>> Pontius Pilate, wash their hands of these egregious affairs.
>>>
>>> My predecessors in the JCS were more concerned about their careers
>>> than about the welfare of the nation and the troops they led every
>>> day.
>>>
>>> Now the final nail in the coffin of the US military has been
>>> hammered in. On April 1, 2016, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter,
>>> with the full backing of the President of the United States,
>>> authorized the legal inclusion of women in the combat arms
>>> branches and special operations units of the United States Armed
>>> Forces.
>>>
>>> In good conscience, I can no longer remain silent. The stakes are
>>> too high for this nation and for the women in the US military who,
>>> I believe will be greatly harmed by their inclusion in the combat
>>> arms and special operations.
>>>
>>> I can no longer watch the US military be annihilated. While many
>>> have chosen to sit on the sidelines, I must step forth and report
>>> to the nation concerning the mortal danger the US military is in
>>> tonight because of its commander in chief, President Barack Obama
>>> and his cabinet and advisers.
>>>
>>> The evidence against women in direct combat from the Center for
>>> Military Readiness and the Marine Corps’ 36 million dollar, 9
>>> month study and the performance of women at the Marine Infantry
>>> Officers Basic Course is overwhelming. Yet, the President, the
>>> Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary
>>> of the Army refuse to acknowledge that the evidence even exists.
>>>
>>> It does exist and it indicates that while women perform
>>> spectacularly in 80% of the jobs in the military, the combat arms
>>> and special operations should be closed to them; permanently.
>>>
>>> Women are simply prone to more injuries than men, have less muscle
>>> mass, do not have the upper body strength, the same aerobic lung
>>> capacity and the aggressiveness to fulfill the military’s combat
>>> readiness requirements and missions.
>>>
>>> The so-called experts often say that women have already served in
>>> combat. In the last two conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, females
>>> did engage the enemy and many performed heroically and beyond the
>>> call of duty. But, returning fire during a military police
>>> security operation is not the same as being in a combat arms unit
>>> that has the mission of finding, fixing and killing the enemy.
>>> That is like comparing Pop Warner Football with the NFL.
>>>
>>> Reality says that women serving in the combat arms and special
>>> operations is not just a bad idea, but a horrific decision that
>>> puts this nation in mortal danger.
>>>
>>> The President and the Secretary of Defense are not dealing with
>>> reality, but with a feminist based fantasy based on false premises
>>> of gender neutrality. They see the world the way they want it to
>>> be, not the way it is. These policies are based on the illusion
>>> that genders are neutral and that none of this will affect the
>>> military’s readiness, esprit de corps and ability to wage and
>>> win wars.
>>>
>>> There is no gender neutrality on a battlefield.
>>>
>>> It is the responsibility of America’s military leaders to
>>> protect the nation and to obey the lawful orders of those
>>> appointed above us. But, our military leaders are not martinets.
>>> There is no Fuehrerprinzip in America. An order is not just an
>>> order. The nation’s military leaders have a moral duty to inform
>>> our elected officials when policies they support and implement are
>>> destructive to the nation itself.
>>>
>>> Silence is not golden. It is pure and unadulterated moral
>>> cowardice.
>>>
>>> Congress also has a duty to protect the nation and to insure that
>>> the military is strong and readiness is maintained. On the issue
>>> of women in combat, Congress has been full of sound and fury,
>>> while signifying nothing. Except for a few concerned veterans like
>>> Senator John McCain and Congressman Duncan Hunter, Congress has
>>> remained silent because a majority of Congress has never served
>>> and is largely ignorant of the issue itself.
>>>
>>> I cannot in good conscience promote policies that will order
>>> American women, ages 18 – 26 to register and be eligible for a
>>> military draft which could place them in combat arms units in
>>> wartime.
>>>
>>> I cannot in good conscience serve as the highest ranking military
>>> member of the US military, when I am completely at odds with the
>>> social engineering directives emanating from the Secretary of
>>> Defense and the President.
>>>
>>> The military has one sole mission. That is to wage war and to
>>> vanquish the enemies of this nation on land, on the seas and in
>>> the air. It must never be used as a social engineering project by
>>> naïve and uninformed politicians and lobbyists.
>>>
>>> As the military prepares for this cataclysmic change, the enemies
>>> of this nation are lining up against us. They know that this is a
>>> lose, lose situation for us and a win, win situation for them.
>>> They know that we are now going to wage war with a much weaker
>>> force and that our readiness is withering by the hour.
>>>
>>> It is very possible that the United States of America may never
>>> win another war. I do not believe this is hyperbole. I believe

>>>
>>> The fate of the republic hangs in mortal jeopardy. I pray that my
