This is Thomas Jefferson!

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.

I wish we could get this out to everyone!!!

I'm doing my part. Please do yours.

Read and Weep!

Obituary——-Very Interesting

1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of

Edinborough, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some

2,000 years prior:

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a

permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until

the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts

from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for

the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with

the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal

policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of

history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations

always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;

From spiritual faith to great courage;

From courage to liberty;

From liberty to abundance;

From abundance to complacency;

From complacency to apathy;

From apathy to dependence;

From dependence back into bondage."

The Obituary follows:

Born 1776, Died 2008

It doesn't hurt to read this several times.

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul ,

Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the last

Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29

Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2

McCain: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was

mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income

tenements and living off various forms of government welfare…"

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the

"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal

invaders called "illegal's" – and they vote – then we can say goodbye to the

USA in fewer than five years.

Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much

is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

I dearly do love the south!

Alabama

A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck.

"Where's Henry?" the others asked.

"Henry had a stroke o' some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied.

"You left Henry layin' out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired.

"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one's gonna steal Henry!"

Georgia

The owner of a golf course in Georgia was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help.

He called her into his office and said, "Y'all graduated from the University of Georgia and I need some help. If I wuz to give yew $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?"

The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, "Everthang but my earrings."

Kentucky

A senior citizen in Louisiana was overheard saying … "When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana."

When asked why, he replied, "I'd rather be in Louisiana 'cause everythang happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the world."

Mississippi

The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!"

Bubba replied, "Did y'all see who it was?"

The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number."

North Carolina

A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait.

A passerby studied the scene as he drove by, and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was.

The man replied, "I got a flat tahr."

The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?"

The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. I never did understand it neither."

Tennessee

A Tennessee State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-65. The trooper asked, "Got any ID?"

The driver replied, "Bout whut?"

Texas

The Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The Sheriff asked, "Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head."

"Yep," he replied. "That's why I'm dumpin' it here, 'cause it says: 'Fine For Dumping Garbage.' "

*** Y'all kin say whut y'all want 'about the South, but y'all never heard o' nobody retirin' an' movin' North.

We will never see this again.

Thought you'd enjoy this!

It's one you want your Children and Grandchildren to read.

They won't believe this happened, but it DID .

Harry & Bess

(This seems unreal.)

Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He

probably made as many, or more important decisions

regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42

Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his

greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White

House.

The only asset he had when he died was the house he

lived in, which was in Independence Missouri. His wife

had inherited the house from her mother and father and

other than their years in the White House, they lived their

entire lives there.

When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a U.S.

Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year.

Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and

personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and,

later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.

After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and

Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves.. There was

no Secret Service following them.

When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he

declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office

of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs

to the American people and it's not for sale."

Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was

preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th

birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider

that I have done anything which should be the reason for

any award, Congressional or otherwise."

As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and

food.

Modern politicians have found a new level of success in

cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth.

Today, many in Congress also have found a way to

become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their

offices. Political offices are now for sale (cf. Illinois)..

Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed,

"My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a

whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's

hardly any difference!

I say dig him up and clone him!

If you agree, forward it. If you don't, delete it.. I don't

want to know one way or the other. By me forwarding

it, you know how I feel.

Enjoy life now — it has an expiration date!

Dang!

nobody said it was gonna be easy, did they? here i am…living in a 1700 sq. ft. finished basement with two bedrooms, a bath a great a/v room and it is nice and cool down here. Much nicer and cooler and bigger than the old farmhouse i left. this is the basement of the house of my best friend in the world and she is kind enough to share this place with me. i now have my three dogs back with me and that is nice but i am not doing well. i am grumpy all the time and i feel like i am walking on eggshells. that is partly because barbara is very meticulous and orderly and i, well, i am a polar bear. not just a polar bear but a male polar bear and a disorganized slob who, at the age of 65 will probably not change much. oil well. just venting i guess. it is what it is and i am sure i will survive and so will barb. i think she will be much happier when my farm closes and i and my dogs live somewhere else close by so that we will not be such a burden on her kindness.

Leg of Lamb

Dang! i roasted a leg of lamb on my sis's new grill while i was doing some paperwork and it got way too done. i like my lamb medium rare…medium at worst and this one is well done! tastes very good but not rare enough for me. i hate it when that happens.

i got this one from a fb friend who read the book then met me in person…

When you see this guy Jad Wolf, he looks and acts like an ordinary citizen. The book is startling in recounting unusual and/or dangerous events that flash by at a rapid rate. The signature of a crazywild period underwrites his quiet respectable existence today. Puzzling. A fun read.

i walked into a restaurant…

i was walking into a restaurant yesterday and i bumped into the former mayor of wichita, Bob Knight. We greeted each other as i had known him for a long time because he was friends with many folks with whom i am acquainted. He said, "Jad, i read your book!" I was a bit surprised at that and even a bit embarassed and i told him so. He said, "no, Jad, i enjoyed it. I am proud of you. I have known you since you were a teenager and it was inspiring to know the things you have overcome in your life." that was not exactly the conversation but something like that. it made me feel good. it actually made my day. Thank you God. Life is good!

An interesting review…

just read an interesting review from a disgruntled reader. whaddya think? i sure would like to talk to this lady.

This book is deceptive

Posted March 22, 2011 by Kathleen McClure, Vancouver, BC

The title of Jad Wolf's autobiography interested me because of the bipolar aspect. However, this is a gimmick as the book becomes a relentless retelling of his criminal past and is utterly lacking in insight or any attempt to work with a psychiatrist to further understand this devastating and chronic illness.

While I enjoyed the travel part in the beginning I became more and more certain this undoubtedly clever man has simply used the description of bipolar/polar bear to attract undeserved attention

Obama will win!

THIS VERY VERY BAD NEWS. READ IT AND WEEP;

- Unfortunately he has a Point.

No matter what, this is scary, but answers all of your questions as to why our government is the way it is.

Subject: For some of us the worst news ever – Dr. Walter Williams

Maybe you have read some newspaper articles written by Dr. Williams a conservative economist who happens to be Black. He has taught at several Universities and is currently teaching at George Mason University .

By Dr. Walter Williams

Can President Obama be defeated in 2012? No. He can't. I am going on record as saying that President Barrack Obama will win a second term. The media won't tell you this because a good election campaign means hundreds of millions (or in Obama's case billions) of dollars to them in advertising. But the truth is, there simply are no conditions under which Barrack Obama can be defeated in 2012.

The quality of the Republican candidate doesn't matter. Obama gets reelected. Nine percent unemployment? No problem. Obama will win. Gas prices moving toward five dollars a gallon? He still wins. The economy soars or goes into the gutter. Obama wins. War in the Middle East ? He wins a second term. America 's role as the leading Superpower disappears? Hurrah for Barrack Obama! The U.S. government rushes toward bankruptcy, the dollar continues to sink on world markets and the price of daily goods and services soars due to inflation fueled by Obama's extraordinary deficit spending? Obama wins handily.

You are crazy Williams. Don't you understand how volatile politics can be when overall economic, government, and world conditions are declining? Sure I do. And that's why I know Obama will win. The American people are notoriously ignorant of economics. And economics is the key to why Obama should be defeated. Even when Obama's policies lead the nation to final ruin, the majority of the American people are going to believe the bait-and-switch tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will use to explain why it isn't his fault. After all, things were much worse than understood when he took office.

Obama's reelection is really a very, very simple math problem. Consider the following:

1. Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn't matter what he does. It's a race thing. He's one of us.

2. College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It's really not more complex than that.

3. Liberals will vote for Obama. He is their great hope.

4. Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coattails will carry them to victory nationwide.

5. Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party.

6. Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics.

7. Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining more everyday. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda.

8. The media love him. They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him. After all, to not love him would be racist.

9. Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won't vote Republican. American Indians will support him. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote Democratic. And lastly,

10. Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama. And he doesn't need anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned. The President will win an overwhelming victory in 2012. — Dr. Walter Williams
