MOOOOO! GOT MILK?

During the summers, I used to help my grandparents on the farm.  One of my favorite things was milking the cows.  My grandfather, Ed, God rest his wonderful soul, used to crack me up.  He sat on his stool, put the bucket under the cow and he’d start pumpin’ them nipples.  He was good too.  He could fill that bucket up in no time.  He taught me to do it and I was all right, but never could match him.  Squirt for squirt, he beat me hands down every time.  Well, we had an ol’ Tomcat that would come around wantin’ some milk and Ed could bend that nipple and hit that cat right in the face with a blast of milk.  That ol’ cat would just set there and lap it up and we would laugh so hard that Ed would almost fall off his stool.

Yeah, Ed would fill up his three buckets, hand me one and off we’d go to the house.  Now, this was the best part.  After we got in the house and put the milk up, except for one bucket, we’d sat down at the table.  We would watch as my grandmother, God rest her beautiful soul too, would cut us some fresh baked bread and dip us a glass of milk, right out of the bucket.  She would sit down with us, we would relish that bread and milk and I would tell her the milkin’ stories.  We would all laugh together.  They were very good times.

Neat story, huh?  It was all true too, but today, if we would do that, we’d be slapped in jail!  Ain’t that a kick?  Yes sir, this lame ol’ liberal Circuit Court Judge, Patrick J. Fiedler, up in Wisconsin (Cow Country), ruled that folks “…do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow."  Yes, you ARE reading this correctly.  Oh, but there is more! 

Get this, the FDA says that, “You are only 'allowed' to eat or drink what the FDA gives you permission to. There is no inherent right or God-given right to consume any foods from nature without the FDA's consent."  WHAT?  Am I going mad?  No God-given right to eat?  FDA you have no God-given right to tell me what to eat.  In fact, according to the Constitution, you don’t have the right to tell anybody what to eat!  Who on God’s great earth gives this mere government department the right to say we cannot have a glass of milk from our own cows?  Unimaginable!

All I know is that I sure wish I were that kid helping my grandfather milk cows again.  Today’s “PC” America stinks to high heaven!

I will defend the original Constitutional. I will defend the rights and lives of patriots to the best of my ability and, if time and resources permit will even defend other Americans, who may fail to believe as I do, but I will never defend a quran practicing muslim. They are my ENEMY! Remember, be proud of, and promote, your beliefs! Be proud you're an American and promote that with pride! Be proud of your families and your fellow patriots and promote that with pride! And last, take some kind of real action and pray “everyday” for God to lead you correctly! Believe me.....this will lead to success.”” -- JOHN L SULAK ...and there you have some more opinions from me, Th' Dumb Ol' East Texas Boy. Take care out there, okay. IN GOD WE DO TRUST!

  1. Thanks for sharing your memories of you and your grandfather.
    I lived on a dairy farm for a little over a year and that was the best time of my life. Drinking fresh milk, playing with the calves and playing in the silage. Great times!
    Wish I could go back to that time too...and take my family with me!
