Are you a Democrap, a Republican, or a Redneck?

Cute joke. It was sent to me by a friend. Turns out I'm a Redneck, even though I'm a registered Republican.

I guess I'm a Redneck!!!

Are you a Democrap, a Republican, or a Redneck?

Here is a little test that will help you decide. The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.

You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

........................ THINK CAREFULLY AND THEN SCROLL DOWN:

Democrap's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

President Obams....WE NOTICED!!

This was sent to me by a friend. I think it worthy of passing on.

This was written by Sherry Hackett, Buddy Hackett's widow........

"WE NOTICED"

President Obama: Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as a 'National Service Day'.

Sir, it's time we had a talk..........

During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not honoring our tradition.

YES, "We noticed."

During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you intended to visit all 57 states. We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.

YES, "We noticed."

When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto the pile without leaning over.

YES, "We noticed."

Every time you apologized to other countries for America 's position on an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great country. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the British Crown beyond belief.

YES, "We noticed."

When your pastor of 20 years, "God-damned America " and said that 9/11 was "America's chickens coming home to roost" and you denied having heard recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could be. You later disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor Wright because it was politically expedient to do so.

YES, "We noticed."

When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered why. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth. Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, "if not for America and the people who built her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now."

Prior to your election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from Illinois and from what we can glean from the records available, not a very remarkable one.YES, "We noticed.." All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the majority of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or affection for this country and her traditions.

YES, "We noticed."

You are 9 months into your term and every morning millions of Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation.

YES, "We noticed."

We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled "un-American","racist", "mob". We wonder how we are supposed to let you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem isolated and insignificant.. Until your appointment, Americans had the right to speak out.

YES, "We noticed."

On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are Americans.

And YES, "We noticed."

There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could help unite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.

YES, "We noticed."

September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You propose to make 9/11 a "National Service Day". While we know that you don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report your proposal as what it is...a disgrace.

YES, "We noticed."

You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits and policy.

YES, "We noticed.."

We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans come together again, it will be to remove you from office.Take notice.

If you agree with this please pass it on.

I would like to add that this whole situation has very close similarities to another situation hundreds of years ago in France. Does everyone remember what happened to King Louis XVI and his lovely wife, Marie Antoinette....... Funny thing, it was King Louis XVI that actually invented the guillotine that later was used to behead him. Hmmmmmmmm.........

R.I.P. Common Sense!

Someone sent this to me. I don't know who wrote it but it pretty well sums up what our great country has come to.

An Obituary printed in the London Times.

Interesting and sadly rather true.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;

- Why the early bird gets the worm;

- Life isn't always fair;

- and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.

Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Okay... The Party IS OVER!!!

Well, our annual Pimp and Ho Halloween came and went. For the most part it was great fun with lots of good friends and laughs. There were a few strange moments but for the most part it was all good.

As usual there were the normal bunch of friends, then there were a bunch of 'new-friends' (ie..."friends" we have never met nor particularly want to meet again). A few of the highlights and some of the more 'annoying' moments are written about below.

The party started out innocent enough...good food, lots of silly girls in silly "Ho" outfits and lots of very embarassed husbands at those same silly wives behaviour.

There were two school teachers here. They were dressed as slinky dance-hall girl type Ho's. Very adorable actually. They were having a great time with their husbands.

At about 9:00 pm our 'exotic dancer' (stripper) showed up. Her name was April, she was very cute, very sweet and a lot of fun. She took turns lap dancing for everyone. She was of course topless but was a 'good girl' and kept her undies on the whole time. It was all fun, nothing lewd or skanky.

What is it though about women, that when you get a bunch of middle age ladies together, throw in a bunch of booze and then Oh Gawd.... a Stripper, those "ladies" just seem to throw all caution to the wind and become "Pole Possessed"???

So we have our cute and young stripper girl "April" and she's dancing on the pole and she's only in her twenties, so she actually looks good topless. No sagging skin, no wrinkles and her boobies are nice and high and still perky. (Unlike us 'older' ladies).

Well all of a sudden there are 8 of my middle aged friends like myself and they are all vying for April's attention on the pole. The more alcohol they consume, the sexier they think they are and it becomes a middle-aged-pole dance competition! So here we have a bunch of women acting like drunken pole dancers, none of whom should ever expose their 40+ year old bodies to the public, and they are rip roaring drunk and having a great time!! The husbands are all sitting back shaking their heads and not quite sure what to make of all of it.

My girlfirend from high school is taking pictures (Literally HUNDREDS of them!) Well folks let me tell you... We had three school teachers, a fire-woman, a woman that works for the sherriff's dept as well as 2 nurses and a lawyer....... and they were all drunk, being goofy, exposing boobies everywhere and POLE DANCING!!!

I was laughing so hard I peed my pants!!

HELLO LADIES!!! You all have major important jobs where good behaviour is crucial and YOU ARE BEING PHOTOGRAPHED DANCING ON A BRASS POLE!! ROFLMAO!!!

After the party I had several women come up and ask what we were going to do with the pictures. I guess they were having second thoughts about being "photographed on a brass pole!" And, while I have no intention of ever publishing those pictures anywhere that would get them in any kind of trouble I have to ask them...... "Well, if you were so worried about it, what the hell were you doing on a brass pole dancing with your top off?"

Alcohol, girls and a brass pole.... it's a dangerous mix!

I have to say that it's never the men that misbehave at these parties, it's always the goofy, drunken wives. They for one night a year dress as sluts, get drunk and wild, shed clothing and each and every husband just watches from afar and wonders....... "Why don't we do this more often?"

I posted pictures on my facebook account (shawnavalenz@msn.com). Shawna Marie Bloom. They are pretty funny!

Let's try and play "Blogger Catchup" now!

Well folks, here it is... October 29, 2009 alreday and I haven't posted much in the last month at all. Bad blogger girl, bad!! So I am now going to try and play catch-up this week and get at least five or six new blog posts done by this saturday.

I have lots of snarky things to talk about but right now I am at work and need to take care of some business. Tonight I'll hit the computer and get some stuff posted. Bear with me till I get back on track here! Thanks everyone!!

No name to this post Ya'll figure it out.

Maybe I'll title it GREAT PERUVIANS OF THE PAST!

Don't Standaround Looking Dumb..... Get off your arses and fix your problems. Genetics are a funny thing! I've capitalized the names of the Peruvian Paso Horses I feel were REALLY PREPOTENT CONTRIBUTORS of certain genetic traits. They are listed as I see their INFLUENCE as to certain inheritable traits within the breed. As I said...... Interpret it as you may...... Asterisks and breeder initials have been removed from the names. Y'all figure it out and don't be sending me any stupid emails threatening me. You can't be sued for personal opinions or for telling the truth. So there! If your horse is or isn't on the list...deal with it.

PALOMO, AMIGO FITO, DUQUESA, MARIA BELLA, HIERRO, CACHINA DEL VIENTO, SOL IMPERIAL, PERUANITO, RETADOR, SOL DE ORO (J), SOLIDARIO, HERALDO, AMOR DE REAL, ROMANESCO, EMIR, LA FLOR DE CIPRES, LA NINA, CUMBIA, LA FLOR DE CANETE, LABRIEGO, REGIONAL, REAL, DANTE, IQUENO, CAP HUANDO COCINERA, EXTASIS, AMORTIZADA, CONTINENTE, BOHEMIA, BOHEMIA DE LA PALIZADA, LA QUESADILLA, HERCULES, GABRIELA, MIL AMORES, SUENO DE ORO, LINDERA, REGALO DEL SOL, LUNA A MEDIAS, PROCURADOR, MARISCAL, DON B, AMIGO, POCO FITO, FLOR DE ICA, FIESTA, PINATA, DOMINGIN, CANAVERAL, ANDINA, ACHIEVA, CARBON DE LA PALIZADA, LA TOPACIA, VENADA, DON JOSE, ORO DE AMIGO, TERCIOPLELO NEGRO, INTOCABLE, GALATEA, EL SENADOR, RAFAELA, VENTURA, ZAINA, ALACIA, LA BARONESA, LUNA A MEDIAS, REPLICA, HEREDERA, ESCARAPELA, LA PISQUENA

Oh... there are so many of them...the real prepotent greats can be found in almost every pedigree within this breed!!

Here are some more, maybe not so genetically strong as the above horses but carriers of the same genetics as the afore mentioned horses, as can be seen by the traits in their offspring as well! Many if not most of these I have seen in person and am able to say I've noticed the characteristics that have been passed first hand!! They might not be homozygous in the passing of these traits but they have passed them on often enough or shown clear evidence of them, I guarantee you!

Romancero, Zar, Dulzura, La Platita, Manzanita, Paolanita, Amigo De Oro, Antares, Florentino, La Delicia, Florentina, Flor de Te, Sederia, Seda Negra, Paloma Negra, Escandalo, Dartagnan, El Pisquero, Pan De Oro, Domingo, La Madrugada, Heredero, Luna Crescencia, Coralita, Obsidiana, Obsidiano, Cascabel, Cascabel De Huando, Piloto, Perfidia, Pochola, Rey De La Solana, Arcadia, Marango, Osado, Sahara, Pabellon, Xanadu, Mantequilla, Envidia, Linaje, Romance, Orquidia Negra, Festival, Laramate, Prosapia, Primavera, Zaina, Realborada, Conche Perla, Problematico, Senora Mariposa, Opala, Marimba, Cleopatra, Serena, Nacarita, Don Jose, Uxmal, Huando, Maravilla, El Duque De Cantil, El Shetan, Africa, Pampero, Aladino, Tanyadora, Pincel, Pensador, Sol De Mojave, Solaz, Resalado, Coralito, El Payande

Oh I could go on and on.... like I said, there are some genetic traits that are so locked within the great lines of the Peruvian breed that it would be virtually impossible to rid the breed of them without a genetic test of some sort for these traits. And let's not even go into the topic of cutting stifles and tail tendons!! You'd think people would want to better the breed by genetic testing, wouldn't you?

I know I will never breed purebred Peruvians again until such a test exists in order to determine which horses are carriers of different traits in both the HOMOZYGOUS form as well as the Heterozygous form. If the breed registry had any integrity about them at all, once there is a genetic test for some of the issues within the breed, they will ban ALL horses that prove to be either HOMOZYGOUS or HETEROZYGOUS for certain conditions from ever being allowed to breed again. In the meantime, go ahead and put your heads back in the sand while the rest of the world passes you by. Just my $.02 for what it is worth.

On another note, I just love my Tennessee Walking Horses... They not be as hot or as flashy but BOY ARE THEY SOUND!

Fat illegal filling her toyota at the diesel gas pump

I drive a truck. I drive a big truck. My baby is a Dodge Ram 3500 crew cab diesel and I love her! So we're happily going down the road yesterday and her little gas light comes on and she says to me "ding, ding, ding", which means that she is hungry and wants to be fed. So okay, I pull into a nearby Shell station that I know to have diesel fuel.

As I pull in I notice that there are 6 pumps there total, only 1 of which pumps diesel/gas. All the other 5 are gas pumps. Okay so there is 1 deisel pump that of course can pump diesel from each side. The entire gas station is empty except for two vehichles that happen to be at the "Diesel" pump! Okay, well one of them is a big FORD diesel dually, no problem, he USES diesel. But on the other side of the pump stands this fat mexican cow pumping gas into HER GDF'n TOYOTA!!

Okay, it's like you wanna just scream at the idiot "Hey there FAT COW... there are 5 EMPTY PUMPS available that pump gas!! WTF are you taking up space pumping at the DIESEL PUMP for??!!" But no.... I pull up behind her and patiently wait for her to finish so I can feed my truck.

That fat cow has the gas pump (These tanks carry obviously BOTH gas & diesel) stuck in her crappy little car merrily pumping away. So now she decides that while her gas is pumping she'll take the time to walk away and smoke a frickin cigarette! (Well, at least I do give her credit for having a large enough brain to figure out she shouldn't smoke while pumping gas!) But HELLO IDIOT!! You're measley little tank only holds 12-14 gallons... you don't have time to smoke your stupid cigarette.... why can't you wait until your tank fills up (which will take all of 2 minutes) and THEN go smoke your stupid cancer-stick?? That way I could FILL UP MY TANK???
(makes sense to me!)

So I'm sitting there in my truck watching her walk away from her car with her cancer-stick and lighter. I'm agitated now as I can see the pump has stopped pumping. I lean out my window as she is walking away.... "Uh, hello!! Hey, do you think you can pull your car up before you smoke that thing so I can fill up my tank? I use DIESEL... and that "is" the only available DIESEL pump!"

She turns around and looks at me with the typical "I'm illegal and too stupid, fat and lazy to try and learn your language" look that ALL illegals manage to muster on demand... and she shrugs her shoulders. (Yeah, I know.... "No comprendo ingles...)

Well fortunately for me YO HABLO ESPANOL!!! "Oye gorda.... mueve tu peaso de mierda POR FAVOR!" (Well... I may not know how to 'spell' it but I can damn sure shout it!)

She gives me this startled look and starts to reply something stupid I'm sure, but on seeing me open my truck door she thinks better of it and rushes back to her little crap toyota to move it, lit cigarette still in hand.

As she approaches her car I yell out to her..."Hey Einstein, you still have a LIT cigarette in your hand! Are you trying to blow yourself up or something?" Amazingly she drops the cancer-stick and grinds it out on the asphalt with her foot. I find it truly bizarre how they REFUSE TO SPEAK ENGLISH in an ENGLISH speaking country but they understand fully what you are saying when it is to their benefit!!

She mumbles something under her breath, puts up the pump, gets in her car and starts the engine. As if to "show me", she revs up her motor 3 or 4 times, rolls down the windows and cranks up her radio to FULL BLAST before driving off! Ohhhhh, guess you really showed me!! You stupid lazy illegal cow!

Yes, he's chestnut "But he's got PALOMINO genes"!

OMG!! This has got to be one of my biggest pet peeves. People who breed horses and profess to be experts and yet KNOW NOTHING!!

I had called a while back on a horse that was listed for sale. It was a Tennessee Walking Horse mare and she was advertised as "A bright red chestnut with palomino genes!" Okay, WTF? Are you a total moron or something? If your freakin mare is CHESTNUT she has NO PALOMINO GENES!! I don't care if both her parents were palominos and all four grandparents were palominos, if she is chestnut SHE HAS NO PALOMINO GENES!
First of all there is no such thing as a "Palomino" gene. It's called a 'cream gene' or a 'dilution factor' and if your horse had the gene on a chestnut base IT WOULD BE A PALOMINO! (It is a DOMINANT GENE) The fact that your RED horse is not a palomino means IT CANNOT HAVE A PALOMINO GENE!!

GET IT?!? DUH!

Back when I used to breed Peruvians there was a lady who was a breeder that used this line all the time...."Chestnut but with palomino genes". I tried to tell her on numerous ocaissions that this is not possible but she never seemed to get it. Alrighty folks it is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! It is simple genetics 101. If your bay or chestnut had a cream gene it would be a buckskin or palomino, NOT A BAY OR CHESTNUT! Dominant gene=expressed trait. Now, this does not apply to blacks/seal browns which can and often DO mask the cream gene. So if someone has a black stallion from a buckskin sire and a palomino dam (Totally possible) he could VERY LIKELY have a cream gene! (ie..he could very likely produce dilute colors such as palomino and buckskin - depending of course on the mares color)

So the bottom line is, if you do not want to look like a complete IDIOT, do NOT tell knowledgeable folks that your chestnut "great red hope" has palomino genes, because guess what??? HE DOESN'T!!!

Liberals defend Al Qaeda's Right To Privacy!

TOO FUNNY!!!

WASHINGTON, DC — Nancy Pelosi defended terrorists’ right to privacy last week. “I have ordered my staff to stop screening packages sent to me that might contain bombs, because that is like eavesdropping. We should not be eavesdropping on phone calls and emails by Al Qaeda sleeper cells in the U.S.,” she said a few seconds before she was blown to shreds in her office at the Capitol.

“I voted for the Iraq war because I was deceived, not because I am stupid or gutless,” she had said moments earlier, but now she was gutless and, now that she is dead, perhaps we can agree that she was stupid.

Senator Ted Kennedy was not impressed by a report that eavesdropping authorized by President Bush uncovered a plot to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge, that the plotter was convicted by a U.S. court and sent to jail, and that the court saw no constitutional problem or illegality in the eavesdropping.

“The judge was probably a conservative,” said Kennedy. “It is wrong to eavesdrop, wronger than blowing up bridges. I will defend to the death the right to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge. Not with my life. But with the lives of others, such as the people crossing the bridge.”

Ted Kennedy - R.I.P. But was he really such a saint or was he just your average Irish drunken politician?

The True Teddy Kennedy DynastyDate: Sun, 19 Jul 2009 09:12:17 -0400

Courtesy of Dick Bailey...

The Last of the Kennedy Dynasty

As soon as his cancer was detected, I noticed the immediate attempt at the "canonization" of old Teddy Kennedy by the mainstream media. They are saying what a "great American" he is. I say, let's get a couple things clear & not twist the facts to change the real history.

1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.

2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! The man can't count to four! Hisfather, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England (a step up from bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada during prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No preferential treatment for him! (like he charged that President Bush received).

3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris, never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his "education" NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!

4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia, he was citedfor reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark.. Yet his Virginia driver's license was never revoked. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!

5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash and hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital at the time he wasadmitted had shown he was legally intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a "state secret" until in the 1980's when the report was unsealed. Didn't hear about that from the unbiased media, did we?

6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur's keys to his Oldsmobile limousine and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha Pond.

7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party passing several houses and a fire station. Two friends then returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew - that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car. The Kennedy family began "calling in favors," ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family before anautopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn't call police because he was in a state of shock. It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident Kennedy's "political enemies" have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS. Kopechne's family received a small payout from the Kennedy's insurance policy and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy's family paid their attorney's bills.... a "token of friendship"?

8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty years, butconsidering his longevity, his accomplishments seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the indigent, funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors, and is widely held as the "standard-bearer for liberalism." In his very first Senate roll he was the floor manager for the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world countries.

9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and author of everyexpansion of an increase in immigration up to and including the latestattempt to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Not to mention the piousgrilling he gave the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was thestandard bearer for the nation in matters of what's right.

10. He is known around Washington as a public drunk, loud, boisterous, and very disrespectful to ladies. JERK is a better description than "great American." "A blonde in every pond" is his motto.

Let's not allow the spin doctors to make this jerk a hero -- how quickly the American public forgets what his real legacy is.Send this on, as a LOT of the younger people don't have a clue about all of this, and us older ones tend to forget things that happened so many years ago, although I HAVEN'T!

DSLD - My thoughts on it by Shawna Marie Bloom

Degenertaive Suspensory Ligament Desmitis (DSLD), a word considered TABOO amongst Peruvian Paso owners and breeders because of it's larger than normal occurence within that breed.

Let me first start that this is NOT a disease or affliction or genetic disorder found solely within the Peruvain Paso breed. I have seen DSLD in Quarter Horses, Standardbreds, Arabians, and many other breeds as well. However one will not find the disorder (or whatever you choose to categorize it as) in other breeds to the extent that you find it within the Peruvian breed. My thoughts for this are written below.

Keep in mind THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS BASED ON MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE within this breed. They are not scientific facts, they have not been proven as I feel they should be by genetic testing. When and if a test becomes avaialble I think most of you will find I was right on this, whether or not you like what I have to say on the matter.

No, I am not a vet. So why would I be qualified to speak on the matter? Well to be honest with you, I probably have seen MORE cases of DSLD through my experiences with the Peruvian Paso breed than all or most vets combined that 'do' have any experience with this affliction. I have worked at some of the largest Peruvian ranches in this country at one time or another. I at one time owned with my ex husband one of the largest and most successful ranches of this breed in California. I know what I am talking about. I can also pretty much guarantee you that I can go to visit any ranch in this country un-announced and will probably find what I would call "DD" horses as well as "Dd" horses being used in each and every breeding program.

I have delivered literally hundreds and hundreds of foals within this breed. I am the breeder of hundreds of registered horses, I have bred dozens of National Champions and I am one of only a very small handful of Americans to have bred a 3 time U.S. National Champion of Champions Breeding Stallion & Laureado. I have been to Peru on numerous occaissions and have pretty much seen and done it all within the Peruvian breed.

After over 30 years in this breed, I have decided to switch breeds to a less problem prone gaited breed, the Tennessee Walking Horse. They do not have the beauty, grace or brio of the Peruvian, but they have something the average Peruvian does not, which is the almost non-existent leg problems and larger size - which is a bit more appealing to most Americans.

I can not even begin to tell you the number of Peruvians I have put down over the years, not to mention the ones that I know of personally that were put down over the years that were owned by other people/ranches. I have, just for my own personal reference kept diaries of horses that were DSLD suspect or that I knew for a fact were destroyed because of this affliction, and I know for a FACT that this is hereditary and can be found with frightening regularity within certain lines. That said without mentioning "actual" names of horses (Which I am happy to provide to people privately) Here are my thoughts and opinions.

First and foremost I DO BELIEVE that DSLD is GENETIC. I believe it is a DOMINANT GENE and that it can be found in both a DD, a Dd and dd form. I believe it is found in both the not so drastic (But very hereditary and still problematic) 'Heterozygous' form (Dd) and the devastatingly horrible "Homozygous" form (DD) as well as the non-carrier (dd). I personally believe at least 50% of the Peruvian population (more likely than not, an even a higher percentage) to be afflicted in the heterozygous stage (Dd).

Now with that in mind (and remember even a "dd" horse could produce a DSLD horse if bred to either a "DD" or "Dd") I have only ever known personally 2 stallions that I would say for a fact were most likely "dd", or totally NON-CARRIERS. Those two stallions being SOBERANO & *DOMINGUITO. Both lived well into their twenties, both had LONG, tried and true show careers and BOTH were ridden regularly and with totally clean legs well into their twenties. (They are the only two stallions I will mention by 'their correct names"
in this entire article as in both cases they are mentioned in a 100% positive light, I had both in my care up to the times of their deaths and I rode both on a regular basis as older aged horses- neither one EVER had any suspensory ligament problems or changes in their structural conformation at any time throughout their lives).

I'm sure there are dozens of others out there that I don't mention as I am only mentioning those that I had first hand experience with and that I know for a fact lived into their twenties, totally sound and rideable until the time of their deaths.

I believe that DSLD in it's Dd form afflicts many more horses than people know of. A Dd horse can be seemingly sound his entire life and then all of a sudden either totally breaks down unexplained or maybe sustains an injury at a latter age that results in the incorrect healing process that ends up as DSLD affliction. I have an older gelding at this time that is 23 years of age. He is a two time U.S. National Champion of Champions Performance Horse/Gelding. He has had a WELL USED life of heavy riding, extreme musical excercise riding, gymkhanas, trails etc.... He is still sound and rideable today but as of late I notice his stifles becoming straighter and his rear legs becoming more and more post legged. I am sure within the next few years I will see DSLD finally set in and when it does I will euthanize him but for now he is healthy, happy and pain free, but also retired. He is what I would call a Dd horse because while it took a long time in coming, I do see at 23 years of age the beginning signs of DSLD coming on. I think more of you breeders actually see this than care to admit. Horses break down and you euthanize them and then sweep the whole nasty little incident under the carpet.

Now DSLD in it's more severe case, is a horse that I would say was "DD". "DD" horses have drastic DSLD show up at an early age. These "DD" horses can seemingly breakdown overnight and sometimes for no apparent reason. Just as a HOMOZYGOUS GREY horse 'greys out" faster that a HETEROZYGOUS GREY, so does a "DD" horse exhibit earlier and more severe signs of the affliction than a "Dd" horse does.

Back in the 70's and 80's as well as early 90's you saw a lot more of this than you do today. At least today people are making an honest effort to avoid breeding horses with the affliction. Back then there would be al kinds of excuses as to why a horse was broken down that way. I have heard every excuse from "He got his leg caught in a fence and it ended up that way" to "The chalan did it to him" to "She had pneumonia as a baby and it settled in her back legs" (HUH??!!??? Pneumonia of the back legs??? Come again???) Breeders literally had dozens of DSLD afflicted mares in their herds and DSLD afflicted stallions as major herd sires. There were the usual run of excuses but bottom line is that most breeders back then were willing to put up with the affliction in order to get the phenomenal gaits that some of these lines possessed.

I remember the many occaissions that I have seen certain stallions that were so horribly broken down they could barely stand, many of which bred full books of mares each year because of their wonderful ability to pass on "Pisos". Some of these stallion get, grand get and great grand get I have been following for over 30 years! Guess what??? IT IS 100% HEREDITARY!!

Anyone wanting my list of horses I HAVE KNOWN, RIDDEN or SEEN perosnally over the years that I feel were DD and Dd afflicted, just write me. I'll send you my list, keep in mind this is my theory only and these are my opinions.

Don't be emailing me telling me I don't know what I'm talking about or that this does not really exist or that I am bashing certain lines because to do so will only show your ignorance on the problem and your lack of help in finding a solution. The truth of the matter is that I have never seen a breed more guilty of having their head in the sand than the owners/breeders of the Peruvian Paso Horse. Until you people get a genetic test and BAN ALL "DD" horses as well as "Dd" horses from breeding you will never be able to promote this breed and achieve the sales with the prices you should be getting. You people have created a stigma within that breed and only you CAN CLEAN IT UP!!

Unfortunately, one of the things I do think is true, is that you are going to find that actual "dd" horses amount to about 25% or less of the breeds population and that in order to save this breed from the devastation of severe inbreeding to eliminate this problem, you are more likely than not going to have to introduce some non-Peruvian gaited breeds into your gene pool. SAD BUT TRUE.

Letter to Obama - I'm planning on moving to Mexico!

Dear Mr. President Obama, U. S. Senate and Congress:

I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my husband's health, and I would like to ask you to assist me. We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico , and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.

We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All Mexico government forms, printed in Spanish, need to also be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school.

7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I, probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put U S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.

13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say a critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. from Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

Thank you so much for your kind help.
Sincerely, U.S. Citizen & Taxpayer

All Hail Queen Pelosi!

No If's, and's or but's about it...

This woman is a total

WHACKJOB!!!

*And they STILL want to talk about Sarah's clothing??

Republicans! Are you out there?

*MADAME PELOSI*Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small private jet that comes with the Speaker's job...no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200 seat jet that could get her back to California without stopping!

Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone what Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American Taxpayers, for the thousands of gallons of fuel every week.

Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California , cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000 one way!

As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday Night'! Cost to us is another $60,000. Folks, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000.

No wonder she complains about the cost of this war...it might cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours. I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.

Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires. These people are nuts!

If you think this is outrageous, forward it to all those on your email list!Keep in mind the figures above do NOT include cost of plane or crew, just fuel!

One wonders what her total package costs us? And she wants to tax OUR IRAs & 401 Ks.....

YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS IN ANY NEWSPAPERS IN THE COUNTRY! THEY HAVE NO GUTS - THEY WOULD RATHER SEE PEOPLE STARVING THAN REPORT ON THE MONSTER THAT IS NANCY PELOSI!

Shawna's note..... "Yeah... and she's like SUPER UGLY too!!"

HOW DARE skanky ugly bitches like Queen Pelosi bash women like Sarah Palin?? How dare they?

A Good Wholesome Irish Confession

My friend Nicole sent me this one. It's priceless!!

An Irish Confession

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Tommy Shaughnessy ?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And, who was the woman you were with?"
"I can't be tellin' you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well, Tommy , I'm sure to find out sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Brenda O'Malley ?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Patricia Kelly ?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Liz Shannon ?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't name her."
"Was it Cathy Morgan ?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Fiona McDonald , then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration.
"You're a steadfast lad, Tommy Shaughnessy , and I admire that. But you've sinned, and you must atone. You cannot attend church mass for three months. Be off with you now."
Tommy walks back to his pew.
His friend Sean slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"
"Three month's vacation and five good leads"

Michelle Obama helps scamming Americans!!

These people are in line at a soup kitchen!!!

First Lady Michelle Obama showed up Thursday as a "surprise volunteer" at Miriam's Kitchen, a soup kitchen for homeless poor people in DC. She brought with her some food donated by White House staff.

The first lady served up mushroom risotto and broccoli to a long line of homeless men and women during part of her lunch hour, and in these photos poses for a picture for one homeless diner -- understandably excited to be in the First Lady's presence.

It doesn't detract from the First Lady's "generous photo-op gesture" to ask two bothersome journalistic questions about this news photo:

** 1) If this unidentified meal recipient is too poor to buy his own food, how does he afford a cell phone (it's a Blackberry) ?

** 2) And if he is homeless, where do they send the cell phone bills?

... We are all being played as idiots..... as usual.

WHY DOESN'T OUR NEWS MEDIA ASK THESE QUESTIONS?

You Gotta Love Bill Cosby!!!

Subject: 2012 Candidate For President

Bill Cosby has a great way of distilling things.

Looks like has done it again!
I WISH WE HAD A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!

I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE. HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1) 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait at the border until you can.

(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'

(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.

(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our many observation towers on the southern border (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.

(5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't getting nuttin out. The president nor any other politician will be able to touch it.

(6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40 hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a passing grade.

(7) Professional Athletes--Steroids. The FIRST time you check positive you're banned for life.

(8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more life sentences. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation, etc.

(9) One export will be allowed, Wheat. The world needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.

(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause.

(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.

(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.

Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes, GOD BLESS AMERICA .

Things my mother taught me about life!!

I have a wonderful Mother! I can honestly say there has never been a time in my life when she wasn't there for me if I needed her. She was always kind, to the point even of being saintly sometimes. I have never heard anyone mutter a bad word about my Mother, she is just that kind of person. Someone sent this to me and now looking back, there are a lot of things listed here that my beloved Mother VERY often said to us as children. I have highlighted in RED every one of these phrases that I astually remember her telling us kids! I LOVE YOU MOM!!! -Shawna

25 REASONS I'VE LEARNED TO APPRECIATE MY MOTHER:

1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE . 'If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.'

2. My mother taught me RELIGION. 'You better pray that will come out of the carpet.' (Actually what my Mother always said was... "You'd better pray your Father doesn't find out!")

3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL. 'If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!' (That line was actually my Dad's!)

4. My mother taught me LOGIC. ' Because I said so, that's why, don't argue with me!'

5. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC ..'If you fall off of that HORSE and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me.'

7. My mother taught me IRONY 'Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about.' (Again, that was my Dad's line)

8. My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS. 'Shut your mouth and eat your supper.' (We actually heard that one A LOT!)

9. My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM . 'Will you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!'

10. My mother taught me about STAMINA. 'You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone.' (Never actually heard that one, I LOVED spinach!!)

11. My mother taught me about WEATHER. 'This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it.'

12. My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY. 'If I told you once, I've told you a million times. Don't exaggerate!'

13. My mother taught me the CIRCLE OF LIFE . 'I brought you into this world, and I can take you out.'

14. My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. 'Stop acting like your father!' (Actually, what my Mother always said was "You're going to grow up to be JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER!")

15. My mother taught me about ENVY. 'There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do.'

16. My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION. 'Just wait until we get home.'

17. My mother taught me about RECEIVING .. 'You are going to get it when you get home!' (Actually I heard that one more from my Dad!)

18. My mother taught me MEDICAL SCIENCE. 'If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to freeze that way.'

19. My mother taught me ESP.. 'Put your sweater on; don't you think I know when you are cold?'

20. My mother taught me HUMOR. 'When that lawn mower cuts off your foot, don't come running to me.'

21. My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT. 'If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up.' (I liked vegetables so I never heard that one.)

22. My mother taught me GENETICS. 'You're just like your father.' (I'm 48 and I still hear that one ALL THE TIME!)

23. My mother taught me about my ROOTS. 'Shut that door behind you.. Do you think you were born in a barn?'

24. My mother taught me WISDOM. 'When you get to be my age, you'll understand.'

25. And my favorite: My mother taught me about JUSTICE 'One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you.' (Never heard that one...even my own Mother would not wish that on me!!)

I LOVE YOU MOM & DAD!!!

Obama Health Care - CASH FOR CODGERS!!!

My Uncle Dennis sent me this one, you gotta love it!!

Subject: National health care plan - Cash for Codgers

Regardless of political or religious affilitation, this is funny.

JUST IN ... Democrats, realizing the success of the President's "Cash For Clunkers" rebate program, have revamped a major portion of their National Health Care Plan.

President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Reed are expected to make this major announcement at a joint news conference later this week.

I have obtained an advanced copy of the proposal which is named... "CASH FOR CODGERS" and it works like this...

Couples wishing to access health care funds in order to pay forthe delivery of a child will be required to turn in one old person.

The amount the government grants them will be fixed according to a sliding scale. Older and more prescription dependent codgers will garner the highest amounts.

Special "Bonuses" will be paid for those submitting codgers intargeted groups, such as smokers, alcohol drinkers, persons 10 pounds over their government prescribed weight, and any member of the Republican Party.

Smaller bonuses will be given for codgers who consume beef, soda, fried foods, potato chips, lattes, whole milk, dairy products, bacon, Brussel sprouts, or Girl Scout Cookies. All codgers will be rendered totally useless via toxic injection. This will insure that they are not secretly resold or their body parts harvested to keep other codgers in repair. Remember you heard it here first...

We've Figured Him Out!!

This was sent to me by a friend. I thought it worthy of printing! It was not written by me but I couldn't agree more with what the author has to say!!

We've Figured Him Out!

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008!

They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith. They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.

The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.

The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.

These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.

There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost.

Wake up, beloved America!

O SHIT!!

Time to replace your "W" sticker!

It is time to get rid of those "W" bumper stickers you've seen for the past 8 years.

That administration is done.

The election is over.

Get past it.

Get used to the idea of a new president and the new administration!

Here's the bumper sticker you'll need for the next 4 years.

My Democratic Friends Were Right!! (As if!)

As much as it pains me to say this, I have to admit it - my Democrat friends were right.

They told me if I voted for McCain, the nation's hope would deteriorate, and sure enough there has been a 20 point drop in the Consumer Confidence Index since the election, reaching a lower point than any time during the Bush administration.

They told me if I voted for McCain, the US would become more deeply embroiled in the Middle East, and now, tens of thousands of additional troops are scheduled to be deployed into Afghanistan .

My Democrat Party friends told me if I voted for McCain, that the economy would get worse and sure enough unemployment is at 9.4% and the new stimulus packages implemented recently have sent the stock market lower than at any time since the Islamic Terrorists attacks of 9-11.

They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "crooks" in high ranking positions in Federal government and sure enough, several recent cabinet nominees and Senate appointments revealed resumes of scandal, bribery and tax fraud.

They told me if I voted for McCain, we would see more "Pork at the trough" in Federal government and sure enough, 17,500 "Pork Bills" showed up in Congress since January 2009.

I was also told by my Democrat friends that if I voted for McCain, we would see more deficit spending in Washington D..C. , and sure enough, Obama has spent more in just 30 days than all other Presidents together - in the entire history of the good ole USA!!

Well I voted for McCain in November and my Democrat friends were right... all of their predictions have come true!

OBAMA'S Ten Commandments!

Who the Holy Hell does this guy think he is anyway??

The Ten Commandments According to Obama

By Patriot Update

© 2009 The Patriot Update. Feel free to circulate this article, but please link / give credit to The Patriot Update.

After observing Obama on the campaign trail and during his first six months in office, we have concluded that our President lives and governs according to his own set of “Ten Commandments.” They’re certainly NOT the Ten Commandments you learned in Sunday School. In fact, many are the direct opposite! To prove that our conclusions are correct, you will find a link to source documentation for each commandment on the Patriot Update web site.

I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.)
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/346/Obama_To_CBN_News_Were_No_Longer_Just_A_Christian_Nation

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/347/Obama_Eyeing_Spot_On_Mt_Rushmore

III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/348/Why_Is_Obamas_Middle_Name_Taboo

IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/349/President_Obama_April_15th_Not_Everyones_Favorite_Day

V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/156/Did_Obama_Say_We_Should_Kill_The_Old_Folks_To_Save_Money_Last_Night

VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/350/Obamas_punished_With_A_Baby_Comment_Sparks_Protests

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/351/Media_On_Sanford_A_double_Standard

VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/355/Obama_Hood_And_Obamanomics

IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian.
http://patriotupdate.com/stories/read/356/According_To_Janet_Napolitano_You_Are_A_Right_Wing_Extremist_If_You

X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet.

Dumb BRUNETTE Jokes!!!

I'm blonde. I have a very high IQ (148). I HATE DUMB BLONDE JOKES!! For some reason everyone I know, family included thinks I like these stupid jokes. Funny thing about them though... they're just as funny if you substitute BRUNETTE for Blonde. The definition of 'dumb' is actually a person who cannot speak (ie...a mute) I'd by far rather be a "Dumb Blonde" than a STUPID BRUNETTE!!! So here we go, we have some great STUPID BRUNETTE JOKES HERE!!!

ENJOY!!!

Best STUPID BRUNETTE jokes you'll ever read!

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.

Upon leaving, the blonde tells her sister, 'When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home.' The blonde arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister (the brunette) a telegram to tell her the news.

She walks into the telegraph office, and says, 'I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.'

The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, it will cost 99 cents a word. Well, after paying for the bull, the blonde realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word. After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, 'I want you to send her the word 'comfortable.'

The operator shakes his head. 'How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word 'comfortable?'

The blonde explains, 'My sister's a brunette. The word is big. She'll read it very slowly....

'com-for-da-bul.'

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!?!

WHY IS IT ......

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR, ...... BUT IF YOU CROSS THE US BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET A DRIVERS LICENSE, SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, AND FREE HEALTH CARE ?
WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS THIS ?!?!?

COWS

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing

That during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow,

born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept,

in the state of Washington ?

And, they tracked her calves to their stalls.

But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around

"OUR COUNTRY!"

Maybe we should give each of them a cow..

THE CONSTITUTION

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ....

Why don't we just give them ours?

It was written by a lot of really smart guys,

it has worked for over 200 years,

and we're not using it anymore.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments

posted in a courthouse or Congress is this --

You cannot post

'Thou Shalt Not Steal'

'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery'

and

'Thou Shall Not Lie'

in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians ....

It creates a hostile work environment!

Also, think about this ...

If you don't want to forward this

for fear of offending someone --

YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

It is time for America to speak up!

Yep, I passed it on!

And now I'm posting it here for you to read!
