Tea Party (pt. II)

Update- how silly do those tea parties look now- our esteemed president now has, on the table, $604 billion (with a B) worth of tax hikes slated for us in the near future. This will fund- get this healthcare reform. This where it gets scary, we do not need healthcare reform, true, the system is flawed but it can be fixed without this drastic catastrophic measure. The only reason we are heading this way is because the programs that are currently out there to help those that are without healthcare are not being used becuase people are too lazy to seek that help. Because these people are too lazy to seek this help, our leader feels it has to come knocking on peoples doors. There are roughly 16% of us without healthcare, do we really need to destroy the system for the 84% that have healthcare?

Quote time...

Came across this quote by Winston Churchill:

"If the present tries to sit in judgment of the past, it will lose the future."

23rd Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need. He lets me rest in fields of green grass and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water. He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths, as he has promised. Even if I go through the deepest darkness. I will not be afraid Lord, for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.

You prepare a banquet for me where all my enemies can see me; you welcome me as an honored guest and fill my cup to the brim. I know that your goodness and love will be with me all of my life; and your house will be my house as long as I live. (Good News Bible)

I like to read this everyday, it's surprising how uplifting it is even when things are going good, and I am feeling good about myself- God can lift you up no matter what your situation or circumstance. God knows everybody on earth, where they are, and how bad they are hurting, reach out to him... he's reaching out to you.

Swine Flu... That reminds me of a joke.

With all the talk of swine flu, and new "possible" cases popping up all over, I though it would be a nice change of pace for a joke about swine...

A guy was lost and he came upon a farm, he stopped his car, got out and called over to the farmer, while the man was asking the farmer for directions he noticed a pig with only three legs. So he asked the farmer how the pig lost his leg, the farmer answered "Oh, that pig is a very special pig... there was a fire in the barn one day, and the pig singlehandedly opened the barn door, unhitched all of the horses and ushered them out of the barn to safety. Then came to the front door of the house alerted me so I could call the fire department." "Yep" the farmer said "that is one special pig" "is that how he lost his leg?" the man asked, "Oh no" said the farner "One other time there was a bad accident out on the road that you just drove up, there was a woman trapped in the car, and it was leaking gasoline" "so..." continued the farmer "The pig pulled on the door handle with all his might until the door opened, and then he pulled the woman to safety right before tha car exploded!" "Yep" said the farmer, "that is one special pig." Again the man asked "Is that how the pig lost his leg?" "Oh no said the farmer" Growing impatient the man asked "So how did the pig lose his leg?"
"Well" said the farmer "with a pig that special, you can't eat him all at once."

Yes, yes I expect the boos to rain down. The joke kills at parties though.
