June 15, 2013, 6:53 pmThe Nun and the Vow of Silence
A woman decided to become a nun and joined a convent.
She had to take a vow of silence and was told once a year she'd be called in to the main office and allowed to say two words.
A year goes by, she's called in and says, "Room cold."
OK, we'll see you in a year they tell her.
The next year she says, "Food bad."
OK, see you next year.
The next year she says, "I quit", and they tell her, "We've been expecting this out of you because ever since you've been here you've done nothing but complain and complain!"

"If someone wants to know why their own government has decided to go on a
fishing expedition through every personal record or private document --
through library books they've read and phone calls they've made -- this
legislation [the Patriot Act] gives people no rights to appeal the need for
such a search in a court of law. ... This is just plain wrong."

Once again, political correctness is never a two way street.
GUN OWNERS
Think About It, then Pass It On....... PLEASE !!!
According to the left wing zealots we have in politics, we are not supposed to judge all Muslims by the acts of a few "crazies".
But the acts of a few American "crazies" is enough to judge all Americans who own guns!
Dictators Prefer Unarmed Citizens.

Breaking news from Detroit
Police in Detroit last night announced the discovery of an arms cache of 200 semi-automatic rifles, 25,000 rounds of ammunition, two tons of heroin, $500,000 in forged US bank notes, and 15 prostitutes - all in a semi-detached house behind the Public Library on Woodward Avenue.
Local residents were stunned. A community organizer spokesman said:
"We're all shocked by this story; we had no idea we had a library."
April 3, 2013, 10:40 amFour retirees visit a bar
Four retiress visit a bar
Four old retired men are walking down a street in Yuma , Arizona
They turn a corner and see a sign that says, "Old Timers Bar - ALL drin10 cents."
They look at each other and then go in, thinking this is too good to be
true.
The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, "Come on
in and let me pour one for you!
What'll it be, gentlemen?"
There's a fully stocked bar, so each of the men orders a martini.
In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken, not stirred
and says, "That'll be 10 cents each, please."
The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment, then at each other.
They can't believe their good luck.
They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.
Again, four excellent martinis are produced, with the bartender again
saying, "That's 40 cents, please."
They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity gets the better of them.
They've each had two martinis and haven't even spent a dollar yet.
Finally one of them says, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as
these for a dime apiece?"
"I'm a retired tailor from Phoenix ," the bartender says, "and I always
wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million
and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime. Wine, liquor,
beer
it's all the same."
"Wow! That's some story!" one of the men says.
As the four of them sip at their martinis, they can't help noticing seven
other people at the end of the bar who don't have any drinks in front of
them and haven't ordered anything the whole time they've been there
Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar, one of the men asks the
Bartender, "What's with them?"
The bartender says, "They're retired people from Minnesota . They're
waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price, plus they all have
coupons..."

"IF" for 21st Century
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If you have to get your parents permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If, in the nation's largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If a seven-year-old boy can be expelled from school for saying his teacher is cute, but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth- and drug- infested homes, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while NOT working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing, and free cell phones, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If the government plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working through 99 weeks of unemployment checks without any requirement to prove they sought but couldn’t find work, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your neighbor buys iPhones, wall-sized plasma do-it-all TV's and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more safe according to the government, you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. What a country! Makes one wonder, which country is being referenced? |

(Came in an e-mail, I can't post the cartoon but will put it in text:
____________________________________________________________
It is very important that you closely inspect the 1934 cartoon below.
Keep in mind there were Communist and Marxist operatives in the USA in 1934 when we were in the middle of the Great Depression.
This cartoon was in the Chicago Tribune in 1934.
Look carefully at the Communist’s "Plan of Action" in the lower left corner.
Plan of Action for U.S.
Spend! Spend! Spend!
Under the guise of recovery- bust the government - blame the capitalists for the failure - junk the Constitution and decalre a dictatorship.
March 15, 2013, 12:27 amTax loophole costs billions- guess who benefits
Tax loophole costs billions
- Millions of illegal immigrants are getting a bigger tax refund than you. Eyewitness News shows a massive tax loophole that provides billions of dollars in tax credits to undocumented workers and, in many cases, people who have never stepped foot in the United States. And you are paying for it!
Note: See all follow-up stories here.
INDIANAPOLIS - Inside his central Indiana office, a longtime tax consultant sits at his desk, shaking his head in disbelief.
"There is not a doubt in my mind there's huge fraud taking place here," he said, slowly flipping through the pages of a tax return.
The tax preparer does not want you to know his name for fear of reprisal, but he does want you to know about a nationwide problem with a huge price tag.
He came to 13 Investigates to blow the whistle.
"We're talking about a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme here that's taking place and no one is talking about it," he said.
The scheme involves illegal immigrants -- illegal immigrants who are filing tax returns.
How it works
The Internal Revenue Service says everyone who is employed in the United States – even those who are working here illegally – must report income and pay taxes. Of course, undocumented workers are not supposed to have a social security number. So for them to pay taxes, the IRS created what's called an ITIN, an individual taxpayer identification number. A 9-digit ITIN number issued by the IRS provides both resident and nonresident aliens with a unique identification number that allows them to file tax returns.
While that may have seemed like a good idea, it's now backfiring in a big way.
Each spring, at tax preparation offices all across the nation, many illegal immigrants are now eagerly filing tax returns to take advantage of a tax loophole, using their ITIN numbers to get huge refunds from the IRS.
The loophole is called the Additional Child Tax Credit. It's a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child, and it's meant to help working families who have children living at home.
But 13 Investigates has found many undocumented workers are claiming the tax credit for kids who live in Mexico – lots of kids in Mexico.
