Wisdom or Insanity?

Posted on 03/11/2015 by Grumpa Joe

Theres-a-fine-line-between-genius-and-insanity.-I-have-erased-this-line.

Brilliance in Three parts  
Part I:

A.  Back off and let those men who want to marry men, marry men.

B. Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women.

C. Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies.

D. In three generations, there will be no Democrats.
I love it when a plan comes together!

 Part II: 

10 Poorest Cities in America (How did it happen?)

City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level

1. Detroit , MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo , NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati , OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland , OH 27.0%
5. Miami , FL 26.9%
6. St. Louis , MO 26.8%
7. El Paso , TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee , WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia , PA 25.1%
10. Newark , NJ 24.2%
What do the top ten cities (over 250,000) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?
Detroit, MI       – (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn’t elected a Republican  mayor since 1961

Buffalo, NY      – (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954

Cincinnati, OH – (3rd) not since 1984

Cleveland, OH – (4th) not since 1989

Miami, FL      – (5th) has never had a Republican mayor

St. Louis, MO – (6th) not since 1949

El Paso, TX – (7th) has never had a Republican mayor

Milwaukee, WI – (8th) not since 1908

Philadelphia, PA – (9th) not since 1952

Newark, NJ – (10th) not since 1907
Einstein once said, ‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats……. Yet they are still POOR.

 Part III:

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government t take care of him had better take a closer look at the American Indian.”
Henry Ford

Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.

S. L. Clemens
Voting for Hillary Clinton is like buying a ticket on the Titanic, while already knowing its outcome!

Thank you Dorothy.

Don’t Call Me “Ma’am”

Posted on 15/01/2014 by Grumpa Joe

This letter has been around before. I found it to be great the first time, and this time I find it extraordinarily great. I wish I could express myself as proficiently as did Jim Hill in his letter to Senator Barbara Boxer.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

  The letter below sent to Sen. Barbara Boxer from an Alaskan Airlines pilot.  Many of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer on
 June 18, 2009   as she admonished Brigadier General Michael Walsh because he addressed her as “ma’am” and not “Senator” before a Senate hearing.
    This letter is from a National Guard aviator Captain Jim Hill.  I wonder what he would have said if he were really
angry. Long fly Alaska Airlines!!!!!
********************************************
animatedflag1
Babs:
     You were so right on when you scolded the General on TV for using the term, “ma’am,” instead of “Senator”.  After all, in the military, “ma’am” is
a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The General was totally wrong.  You are not a person of superior rank or position.
You are a member of one of the world’s most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.
     Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low-level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually re-elected.  Many Democrats even want American troops killed by releasing photographs.  How many of you could honestly say, “We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor”  None?  One? Two?
    Your reaction to the General shows several things.  First is your abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the General shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind.  When the General  entered the military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your corpulent derriere, now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the General’s taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.
     Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and arrogance, which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated masses who have made   California into the laughing stock of the nation.
    What I am writing, are the same thoughts countless millions of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to convey them.  Regardless of their thoughts, most realize that politicians are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton (1834 – 1902) so aptly charged, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
    Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, “Mr. Power” has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it.
    Finally, Senator, I, too, have a title.  It is “Right Wing Extremist Potential Terrorist Threat.”  It is not of my choosing, but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, and you were offended by “ma’am”?
 Have a fine day.  Cheers!
Jim Hill
16808 – 103rd Avenue Court East
South Hill,   WA    98374
If you care about the way our Country is heading, please circulate this to remind every voter that the “cesspools” MUST be pumped out when we go to
the polls in November, 2014

Are You Registered to Vote?

Posted on 12/07/2012 by Grumpa Joe

Disenfranchised citizens throughout the New Or...

We are coming up on the most important election in the history of America. As citizens we have one weapon to use and make our voice heard, our vote. In order to vote one must be registered.  The process varies from state to state, but it is relatively simple. One important thing to remember is that there are deadlines in each state for when you can do it. If you begin now, you will make it in time. Do it.

A simple statistic cited by wallbuilders.com is 14% of Americans think they are registered to vote, but they are not! That is roughly 33 million people! That is amazing. Thirty-three million votes can certainly swing an election in either direction. Use the voter lookup tool below to make sure you are registered to vote.

Am I registered?

I am pledging to get one or more  people registered. I’m starting with members of my family. Will you take the challenge or will you abdicate to one of the many new organizations that ACORN split into?

Bah Humbug Blahs

Posted on 23/12/2008 by Grumpa Joe

As good as I felt last Sunday after our Lion Club food basket distribution, I am in a Bah Hum Bug mood today. It’s two days before Christmas, and I have the blahs. Maybe its light affective disorder, or something like that. It has to be a hormone gone wild to make a person feel so down. I can’t explain it. It couldn’t be that for the last twelve months I’ve been brainwashed by the messiah speaking about failed economic policies, and  another preacher damning America, or that the entire banking system came tumbling down by some social engineering. The weather isn’t helping me out either. It’s way too cold, it’s snowing and blowing. My joints all ache, and my muscles long for a walk, but I’m too lazy to go out .  Maybe I feel blue because I just wrote to my Senator telling him not to give himself a raise, and I expect him to give me the finger instead. Watching my 401K vanish  hasn’t added any light into my life either.

For many years, people referred to me as Scrooge. I created that personae in order to survive my job. We always had ‘performance appraisals’ right before Christmas. Often,  the news I gave my staff was not what they wanted to hear, therefore, the “Scrooge,” moniker. A negativity overtook me like the devil. I became negative the year around. Then one day, I heard a motivational speaker, and he changed my life. His name is Bernie,  he’s a medical doctor, and he changed my life with his speech. I learned that “positive” works much more effectively than “negative.”

It took me several years to break out of the negativity habit, but I did it. I  became a positive person. That is why these blahs are affecting me so. My mind wants to revert to negative, yet I know its the wrong way to go.  I see myself  being tempted by Darth Vader.  I hear him calling me to the “dark side.”

Several times today, I had to stop what I was doing to  find a positive moment to reflect upon. It has kept me going. I have to make alist of everything positive happening in my life today. It will help me bury the blahs.
