QUOTES! YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND TO COME!

Andrew Jackson once stated, "One man with courage makes a majority." Today that would be changed to, "One screamin' friggin' idiot is treated like a majority."

Then there was Franklin D. Roosevelt that said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." And today it would be termed, "The only thing we really have to fear is the idiots that are in control of the (should be "our") government." 

Let's see now, ol' Harry S. Truman said this," The buck stops here." And today it would be changed to, "Where ARE th' friggin' bucks? There ARE no bucks! Has anyone SEEN the bucks?" 

And please, let's not forget John F. Kennedy when he stated, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Well, John, God rest your soul, I hate to say it, but today it would read, "Don't bother to ask! Your country's leaders are already DOING IT TO YOU!" 

Yeah, we used to have some, what appeared to be, good leaders. Maybe they were, maybe they weren't, but, at least our country and the world was in better shape than it is now. Sure these guys had there "bad side", but even their bad side was better then the "good side" we get today. Folks are sayin' get behind Obama. He'll pull us out. That's kinda like jumpin' on a covered wagon when the dang thing is about to roll over a cliff. Once you jump on, it's too darn late to save ya. Hey, don't get me wrong. Obama is smooth. Th' kids think he's cool. Hollywood loves him too. Some call him a rock star. Well, the last thing we need right now is a smooth, cool, rock star, when we are in such tough times. And times are certainly tough!

Okay, I wanted to keep this post kinda on the light side, so let's look at some quotes from our more recent leaders. They will certainly lighten things up. For instance, we just cannot forget William Jefferson Clinton when he, so eloquently stated, "It depends on what your definition of "is" is." Can you say, "He thinks the American people are that dumb?" 

Now here is a "class act", what about Mr. Smooth himself, Jesse Jackson, when he said, "That Obama, I'd like to cut his nuts off." Yeah, by all means, let's join and contribute to the Rainbow Coalition. Did I just say that? I'm so scared now! Jesse may come after me with some bolt cutters. Plop! Plop! No you didn't Jesse? 

Let's not leave out Mr. $300 Haircut himself, John "clip 'em while ya can" Edwards, when he blurted out, "Those rumors are false............I believe in the sanctity of marriage. There goes the bride.......There goes the bride.........He won't do it again, but there goes the bride. 

Then there is Mr. Joe "stuck my foot in my mouth again" Biden when he tried to explain that he, indeed, was religious when he said, "The next person that tells me I'm not religious, I'm going to shove my rosary beads up their ass." I do not think Mother Mary would have considered that a religious act. I know I have never seen it at any Catholic ceremony, have you? Maybe he belongs to a Catholic "spin off" religion that does that. Oh well. We must go on.

Oh yeah, since we were on religion, we've got to mention Nancy "big private jet" Pelosi when she proclaimed this revelation, "You don't need God anymore, you have us Democrats." Just like a poor football coach that calls in the replacement quarterback when the one on the field is doing so well. Nancy, c'mon gal. Even you ought to know better than that. You'd think, huh? 

Okay, I'm on a roll now, let's find another. Hillary "it's okay to cheat on me" Clinton when she played like Tammy Wynette and stood by her man. As she, in 1998, said, "Bill is the greatest husband and father I know. No one is more faithful, true, and honest than he." I guess Hillary was using Bill's definition of "is". Ya think? Stand by your man. Give him two arms to cling to............... Old Tammy was a good 'un. 

No I ain't stoppin' yet folks. Here is what Harry "Nancy's yes man" Reid had to say, "Paying taxes is voluntary." Can you spell "Maximum Security Prison"? Hey Harry, give me a clue, what government department do I go to, to stop VOLUNTEERING? I think some of these folks really can't help themselves. It's like this "junk" is bread into them.

I just gotta do a few more. "I have campaigned in all fifty seven (57) states." Guess who? The Prez. Yep, Obama himself said that. I guess Kenya, Africa, India, Indonesia, and Somalia are all states now. I mean where did he really come from? Some say Heaven? Others say a far off distant star. I don't know but I know that this ol' boy ain't seen no proof of where he originated.

I only have two more to go. I hope you are enjoyin' this as much as I am. Here is another, "America is--is no longer, uh, what it--it, uh, could be, uh what it was once was...uh, and I say to myself, 'uh, I don't want that future, uh, uh for my children." Obama again! And they call this guy "smooth"? Sorry Mr. President, but what did you just say? Just like a good ol' politician, when you start to stumble, always come back to the children. Heart strings will always make 'em forget. Right Mr. O? I just wonder how many politicians got elected because of "the children"? I'm not making this stuff up folks. Just watch 'em. If the questions start getting a little too tough, or the discussion is not going their way, watch 'em use "the children". Folks ears just perk up at the mention of those two words........"the children". Anyway, from now on watch out. If you hear "the children", be prepared. 

And last and certainly not least, the biggest gaffer of all time, the supreme hooblah, the grand duke of gaff, Mr. Al "my rear end is on fire" Gore! You know you've heard it, but we gotta repeat it. It's just that good. "I invented the Internet." Bill Gates just has to be dreaming about this one all the time. Lay off th' single malt Al. Okay? Or, what th' heck, maybe you need to down a fifth a day.

Okay, we had some fun. At least, I hope you enjoyed it. I know I did. But, this really shows you how much "common sense" our leaders have. Natta! Zip! Zero! Null and void! Rejected! Empty! Should I keep going? Naw, you get it. In fact, most "real" Americans, get it. I just hope the ol' "silent majority" is starting to rise up and holler and I think they are. Right here in Texas, San Antonio, to be precise, them tea party folks are having a big rally right at the Alamo. That Glenn Beck fella is supposed to be there. He seems like a purdy good ol' boy, but boy can he get excited. Guess that's what we need though. Somebody to kinda rally the folks into gettin' off their duffs and gettin' involved. He seems to be doin' pretty good at it too. Oh, 'for I forget, I just got to show you one more. Texas A&M had a "political correctness" definition contest and here is what the winner said, "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end". I just couldn't resist. It is just THAT good! 

Now where was I……….oh yeah, the "silent majority". Folks we got enough "real" Americans to put a stop to this absolute BALONEY! We just gotta do it. That's all there is to it. If things get too far gone, it's too late, and we are gonna wish we had done somethin'. We keep getting duped by the same o' same o', year after year, month after month, and day after day. We gotta stop it.

Now these are my opinions and I'll leave you with a quote that you can hang on to. Kinda sink your teeth into. And it's perfect for the times. Here it is:

"I am commonly opposed to those who modestly assume the rank of champions of liberty, and make a very patriotic noise about the people. It is the stale artifice which has duped the world a thousand times, and yet, though detected, it is still successful." 

--Fisher Ames, letter to George Richard Minot, 23 June 1789

Remember that last part folks, "……..and yet, though detected, it is still successful." That means they are still duping us folks!

TH' DUMB OL' EAST TEXAS BOY
