Yes I was kidding about the drugs.

Not a good day for me. About noon today I was getting ready to eat lunch when I got some severe stomach pain and it was so bad I almost passed out. So I went to the hospital and they had me there all day taking test, what they found out was I had a large blockage in my intestines and Gallstones. They are not to bad and the Doctor said if I just make some changes in my diet that should go away by there self. I am ok now just a little weak. It is too bad that they would not let me take home the pain medication they gave me; it had me feeling great in no time. Ok going to bed now see you all latter.

Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time.. He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe . Thomas Jefferson The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Thomas Jefferson It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. Thomas Jefferson I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. Thomas Jefferson My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. Thomas Jefferson No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. Thomas Jefferson The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. Thomas Jefferson The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved. The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. The mother sent the 8 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?! Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE is GOD?!" The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?" The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time!" "GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!"

Advice to an Old Guy... An old guy (not in the best of shape) was working out in the gym when he spotted a sweet young thing... He asked the trainer that was nearby, "What machine in here should I use to impress that sweet thing over there?" The trainer looked him up and down and said "I would try the ATM in the lobby".......

If the repubs want a HOPE of winning they better find somebody that is not some ( religious right wing nut) like a lot of these present guys are...including this Bozo....people aren't going to go for that garbage anymore. A moderate republican might have a chance....but as soon as one of these ((yahoos) get up there and the first words out of their mouths are ("ban a woman's right to choose") (Do you mean the right to merder her baby?) and "outlaw forever these evil same sex marriages" then the country (for the most part...obviously (the religious nuts love that crap) turn off to that kind of rhetoric. We need SOLUTIONS and our problems are MUCH LARGER than the two mentioned above.....and its those 2 issues that seem to be all any republican "candidate" can seem to think about. Is it just me or does it seem a bit creepy that these old dragons seem wayyyyyyyyyyy preoccupied with being able to mandate what a woman can do with her own body and then there is the whole "same sex" issue they obsess about....??? Kind of "telling" IMO

So it is OK to bash anybody that does not agree with you?

WHY?
