Proposed Obama reg to be discussed on Radio

[smljaw]

ukkid,

We're all free to speak out minds on this board, however, you are going to be outnumbered in a BIG WAY. Were you headed to NY City or L.A. and end up in KY somehow? A liberal slant is going to hard to find on a Kentucky fishing chat board. I'm just sayin'... From here on out I think I'd stick commenting on a jig or crankbait conversation. You'll be much easier to relate to that way.

DJD speaks a lot of truth. It's extremely sad that our left leaning federal governement is fighting, shoving and clawing for all it's worth to pass this gov run healthcare bill. THE MAJORITY DO NOT WANT IT!!! That being the case, why are Pelosi and others wheeling and dealing to "buy" votes to pass it? It's political suicide for SO MANY who are involved. If it passes, a lot of folks in Congress and Senate will lose their seats (the largest majority will be dems. That makes me happy!). If it doesn't pass, well, Obama will be considered a huge failure for not getting it done. Mark my word, there will be a huge shift when Obama gets voted out in 2012. Lets just hope too much damage is not done between now and then. A fiscal conservative government majority will help get us back on track as long as they follow that path.

Now, getting back to the talk radio issue. Why are Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Cunningham and the like so popular? Is it because, as you would say, they lie and stretch the truth? They are successful on talk radio because the majority in Americans share their values and beliefs. And here's a good questions for you... Why don't left wingers have successful talk radio programs? I'm sure people would be tuning in all over the USA to listen to The Rev. Jackson or Al Gore or Jerimiah Wright. NO!!! That wouldn't happen!!! Do you know why? Radio advertisers don't invest in a loser. And liberal-slanted radio would be a loser.

THE ANT AND THE Grasshopper

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OLD VERSION

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed.

The Grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he
dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be responsible for yourself!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MODERN VERSION

The Ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool
and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press
conference and demands to know why the Ant should be
allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to
provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a
video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the Grasshopper and everybody
cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green ...'

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Then Rev. Jeremiah
Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the Grasshopper's sake.

President Obama condemns the Ant and blames
President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the Grasshopper's plight.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the Ant has gotten rich off the back of the Grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the Ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity &
Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of
the summer.

The Ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of Green Bugs and, having nothing left to
pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the Grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the Grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the Ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the Ant's old house, crumbles around them because the Grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The Ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The Grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over
by a gang of Spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THIS STORY:

Be careful how you vote in 2010.

I loved that little ant story!
