Comparing Obama-Lincoln continued......by Borderblu
I think there are some very interesting comparisons between one the greatest Presidents, Lincoln and the Amateur President we now have. The problem is that the version being put forth today by the Dummycrats is being written by people that completely screwed up the story of Robin Hood.. In the story Robin Hood stole from the idle rich to give to hard working poor. Not, as they see it, that Robbing Hood (AKA: BO) should rob from the working people to give to the idle poor.
President Lincoln did not believe in big government. BO believes in HUGE government. President Lincoln was required to more with less. There were very little federal funds to fight the Civil War. BO believes in doing nothing with more. He is creating bankruptcy and working backwards. The Civil war was started because Southern Democrats wanted to protect an out dated system and President Lincoln wanted to bring them within "modern" times. BO is working with Democrats to turn a modern society into a system equal to third world countries by limiting and discouraging free enterprise.
President Lincoln was a firm believer that every man should be the one to reap the benefits of THEIR labor. The Southern Democrats believed that they had a God given right to the benefits of other people's labor (some things just haven't changed).
In one aspect there is, unfortunately, a similarity between President Lincoln and the Amateur President. When President Lincoln was elected it caused the greatest rift between the peoples of this country. The country was divided North vs South. Not since President Lincoln has this country become so divided, only now it is the West Coast and East Coast vs Middle America.
Rico Responds...
This was a poignant response from a good friend of mine, perhaps the best undercover 'cop' I ever met. He "gets it" ...unlike all too many here today. He is also quite right in that "some things do not change" like the seemingly eternal desire of the political class to enslave their fellow man.
There seems to be neither enough rope nor trees some days!!!
Happily, there ARE still enough of us that do NOT mindlessly accept the yoke of socialist slavery that we have a fighting chance to make it through this period.
- But when individual liberty and freedom are "criminalized" by our would-be political "masters" there WILL be blood.
Earth Before vs. After.........from Rico
Gee, THANKS big Al!
What else can one say besides "any chance you'll give-back all of that money you made on this MMGW scam?"
Trickle-UP poverty....from Rico
How could I resist this?
In a mere 45 days Obama has created more DEBT than Reagan did in 8 years!
Now that is some CHANGE you can believe in...can you feel the hand of government fishing-around in your pockets for any loose change that might have been missed?
Nothing says SOCIALISM like trickle-UP poverty!
- Yeah! Steal from the working and give to the non-working! It's only "fair" that we all be "equal" (as in equally poor) right?
Here's your newly-won MERIT BADGE assclown!
Marriage....
* Getting married is very much like going to a continental restaurant with friends. You order what you want, then when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that.
* At the cocktail party, one woman said to another, “Aren’t you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?” The other replied, “Yes I am, I married the wrong man.”
* Man is incomplete until he is married. Then he is really finished. Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his bachelor’s degree and the woman gets her master’s.
* A little boy asked his father, “Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?” And the father replied, “I don’t know, son, I’m still paying for it.”
* Young Son: Is it true, Dad, I heard that in some parts of Africa a man doesn’t know his wife until he marries her? Dad: That happens in most countries, son.
* Then there was a man who said, “I never knew what real happiness was until I got married; and then it was too late.
* When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a ten-year married man looks happy - we wonder why.
* Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen.
* After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, “You know, I was a fool when I married you.” And the husband replied, “Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn’t notice it.”
* A man inserted an ‘ad’ in the classifieds: “Wife wanted”. Next day he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: “You can have mine.”
* When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife.
* How do most men define marriage? A very expensive way to get your laundry done free.
* The most effective way to remember your wife’s birthday is to forget it once.
* When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her. - Sacha Guitry
* Eighty percent of married men cheat in America. The rest cheat in Europe. - Jackie Mason
* Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.

Investing in "isms" but NOT results.......from Rico
I REALLY loved hearing our pResident Hussein al-Chicago tell us we needed to "invest" in education the other day. More HIS idea, OUR money.
It makes sense I suppose from the point-of-view of our nations corrupticrats. Dumbing down the American voter through government-run unionized skools has worked awfully well for them so far! Throwing MORE good money after BAD into gooberment skuls does create a great many more horridly stoopid voters which is GREAT for the Democrats.
Look at the numbers. We already are paying twice as much for half the result. WHY?
- Government (the US Dept of Education) does few things well, including education.
- The NEA (teachers union) does nothing well except garner undeserved pay raises from government for producing functionally illiterate but 'good' (compliant) young socialists to register and vote Communist....errrr, Democrat.
This must then BE the intended and desired result. The great unwashed, ignorant, clueless masses sitting on their collective asses 'waiting' for government to take care of their every need and want and gullibly swallowing every idiotic utterance by their "leaders" and political masters. Blessedly FREE of responsibility and quite free of freedom.
- Silly me, I had presumed that thoughtful, informed, competent, skilled, individuals capable of critical thinking and free/able to achieve their full potential was the desired result of an education.
Orwell was prescient. Freedom is slavery, and slavery is freedom...at least if you're an Obamunista!
THIS POTENT COMBINATION IS DOING WHAT ALL THE OTHER "ISMS" IN HISTORY COULD NOT DO: DESTROY AMERICA.

Comparing Obama-Lincoln [Reagan's Ghost speaks]......from Rico
I have yet to be amused by comparisons of BHO to Lincoln. There is no comparison as far as I can see.
I am not amused by efforts in Maryland to change the state song to (among other things) remove oblique references to Lincoln as a tyrant. Honest history does not portray Lincoln as a living saint.
I am not amused that in order to lower my tax burden it took a substantial capital gains loss to do so. I found that move overwhelmingly counterproductive to my eventual efforts to amass sufficient financial resources to permit me to retire for real.
Ronnie
Rico writes....
Ronnie is quite right. There is NO valid comparison of BHO to Lincoln, BUT I think that while 'some' (Copperheads a.k.a. Democrats) liked to falsely 'call' Lincoln a tyrant, their modern-day versions (Communists a.k.a. Democrats) and BHO actually WANT BHO TO BE A TYRANT!
After all....it's not really fascism in their minds if THEY do it!
NOT AMUSING. NOT AT ALL!!!

Little Johnny....
For his birthday, little Johnny asked for a 10-speed bicycle.
His father said, 'Son, we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $280,000 and your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford it.'
The next day the father saw little Johnny heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, 'Son, where are you going?'
Little Johnny told him; 'I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling mom you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too. And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with a $280,000 mortgage and no Fucking bike!'
