Gov. Dan Malloy has declared Thursday “Diaper Need Awareness Day” as
part of a campaign by the Nutmeg State to pressure Washington into
providing free diapers to low-income families.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Here's Another Way to Look at the Federal Government Debt Ceiling:
Let's
say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in
your neighborhood....and your home has sewage all the way up to your
ceilings.
What do you think you should do ……
Raise the ceilings, or pump out the sh--?

He HAS to be Defeated Next Year
The future of our great land is a stake! Don't believe me, then vote to reelect Obama next year. You want more from the government? Sorry, the Golden Goose is on life support, and if Obama is reelected it will go "flat line"!

Dream Team
Well, she has said "no". My favorite for the Republican nomination for President in 2012, Sarah Palin, has said she is not running. While I am very disappointed, I'll have to move on. I like Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum, but I don't think any of them can get the nomination. I liked Rick Perry at first because of the success he has had in Texas creating jobs and the economy, but have now realized that he is very soft on illegal immigration, allowing in-state tuition for children of illegals. That just doesn't fly with me. I love Ron Paul's domestic agenda, but his isolationist Foreign policy really turns me off. We've been down that road twice before and it resulted in WWI and WWII. We don't need to go there again. Mitt Romney is a RINO (Republican in Name Only). He is soft on illegal immigration, the right to life, the Second amendment, government involvement in our lives, and refuses to admit that Romneycare (a state version of Obamacare) has been a huge failure in Massachusetts. I'll mention Jon Huntsman only so far as to say he is a Democrat running with a "R" after his name.
That brings us to Herman Cain. Boy, is this guy a breath of fresh air. He has never held public office and is a self made man in the private sector. He knows what creates jobs and what doesn't. He knows what is needed to get the economy roaring again. While he may have a little problem dealing with the life of Washington, D.C., because of his inexperience, all he needs to do is to pick the right person for VP. Someone like Newt Gingrich, who has been Speaker of the House and understands how to get an agenda through Congress. Herman Cain reminds me of Ronald Reagan on steroids.
So, there you have it. My dream team for 2012.
Cain/Gingrich.
Wait, as a member of the Tea Party, how can I be supporting a black man for President. I thought I was a racist. Just goes to show you how the Lame Stream Media paints people they don't agree with, with their demonizing labels. It's what they do best!

THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM
Got this from my friend, Paul.
Can't think of a better analogy. Are you paying attention, America?

BRS - Bureau of Rehabilitation Services
Want a classic example of what's wrong with Government?
Ever since I was a teenager I have done a lot of hunting and shooting. I also had a job during the mid-70's, at the Uniroyal footwear plant, in Naugatuck, CT, running a Banbury. A Banbury is a machine that mixes batches of rubber at about 500 lbs. per batch. The machines are incredibly loud. I did all this without wearing hearing protection, because for most of that time it was not known that it could damage your hearing. Subsequently, I found out about 10 years ago that I needed hearing aids. I have been through a couple of sets and recently got new ones which cost $3200. The owner of the Hearing Aid business said I could go through BRS and have the government foot the bill for my hearing aids. I felt like she told me I could apply for welfare. Well, it turns out the program is for disabled people under the Americans with Disability Act. Hearing impaired is considered disabled. So I qualify for free hearing aids, paid for by the government.
Jon, are you not making enough money? Nope, there is no income limit to being able to participate. The only stipulation is that the hearing aids be required for your job, and since I need them to hear "bees" buzzing, mice scratching, and bats fluttering, I qualified. Someone making $1 million a year can get their hearing aids paid for by the government.
I have always fought against waste in the government. I don't want and I don't need the government providing for me. I told them no thanks, I'll pay for them myself. If that's known as "putting your money where your mouth is", I'm guilty.
