Redistribution of Wealth

Here is a creative approach to redistribution of wealth as offered in a local newspaper...

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

"We" Don't Care

The official line from the major media pundits is that everyone knows the Ayers story and "we" don't care.
More government control and more government programs are the solution to the the economic problems caused by government affirmative action housing programs. Apparently Colin Powell thinks so, anyway -well, that and an African American president would "electrify the world".

Maybe so, but I think folks who refuse to accept "conventional wisdom" dispensed through the television and newspapers have a very good reason to be more than uneasy about a candidate who so casually lies about the true nature of his associations. This video is the best, most accurate wrap of the facts, except for the fact that Ohio is now sitting on 200,000 suspect registrations that Sec of State Brunner went to the Supreme Court to avoid verifying. She won, because a political party didn't have standing to sue. Nice law...

Please watch when you get a chance - forward if you agree it matters.

Global Warming How COOL

A group of Greepeace activists mildly ($35k) vandalized a coal fired power plant in England, but were

found Not Guilty with the help of "expert witness" James Hansen, Al Gore's (and George Soros') pal at NASA.

In a world that has been in a cooling trend for 10 years now, how is it that he/they get away with it?

Fear for all

Kind of a long read, but very informative on how "opinion" is formed as a very lucrative business.
The best example might be a Chicago utility using this company to create a fake "citizens campaign"
to create worries about blackouts, thus getting opinion to change on the need for hefty rate hikes.

Illegal Aliens and Drivers Licenses

The whole debate over Illegal Aliens getting drivers licenses in the United States has gotten completely ridiculous. They are the same as drugs.....just say NO.

I heard a woman who called a radio talk show, she was an incredible idiot. She said that she wanted to feel safe knowing that Pablo in the car next to her had passed all the safety courses needed to get a drivers license. June Cleaver and her "Children" would then be safe to go to soccer practice and the super market. Don't concern yourself that Pablo is celebrating his getting a New York Drivers license with a fifth of Tequila, and a ride in the sunshine.

These people are criminals and need to be treated as such. Deport all of them. And do not give me this crap that it can not be done, it can be, we just won't do it. We would not want to offend any body, especially an ungreatful illegal alien.

Global Warming and Freedom of Choice

We are told that we have to believe in "Gorebal Warming". We are not allowed to believe in God, but Global Warming can not be challenged. After all, the geniuses telling us we are all going to melt away are actors and rock stars. Is not the scientific data collected by Mrs. David stimulating to ones intellect. But I digress.

It seems like the only way to stop global warming is to pay more taxes, give up our lifestyle, and as some would suggest become vegans. "Arrogance and Ignorance go hand in hand".

I believe the only answer is exactly what the liberals in this country hold sacred above all else. Freedom of Choice. It is really simple. First convert all gas pumps to have a simple switch, turn the switch to the left and you pay an extra 10 cents per gallon to go for Global Warming prevention, or you can turn the switch to the right and pay the going rate for gas because you are not stupid enough to believe you are more powerful than Mother Nature, God, and the Sun.

Next you can have a simple check box on every utility bill indicating that you are so ashamed of yourself you would like your bill to be increased by 10% to help fight Gorebal Warming.

How about taking 30% of your retirement savings and buy Carbon Offsets, but don't stop there, you can also take a percentage of your children's college fund and invest that in carbon offsets because if what you believe is true the world won't be worth crap when they come of age so an education will be more worthless than it is now. You really needn't worry about the future, there is always social security.

Instead of telling everybody how they need to live, why not set the pace. Everybody who bitches about Global Warming has 5 years to become totally independent of burning anything to make your life easier. Convert your home to Solar and Wind Power, and buy a bicycle. Cancel all vacations that you cannot walk to. Oh and don't forget to enjoy existence, not life, just existence.

Eat only Raw vegetables.

I will personally flip the switch to the Right, not check the box, keep my money, eat meat cooked extra long on an open fire, and enjoy LIFE.
