Look, I’m under no delusions about Republicans being a lot better, or a Godsend or anything like that. But sometimes you just need to sit back, relax, and have some fun.
With that disclaimer out of the way… I found this pic on the net somewhere and it was so funny I just had to share it.
(Oh yeah, I’m not in to Halloween either, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy this type of humor 
).
On the campaign trail Obama said something to the effect of:
They found out that when I was in school I would split my peanut butter sandwich in half and share it and now they call me a redistributionist
I’m telling you what, this man has a major problem if he can’t tell the difference between sharing his own sandwich, or reaching over to another kid’s lunch bucket and sharing that sandwich!
I can’t remember the last time I actually waited as long as possible to get gas because I knew it was only going to get cheaper.
So far, I’m having a hard time feeling bad about this economic downturn…
Every once in a while I come across a gem so good, I have to repost it here. This hails from the blog of Doug Wilson.
A friend sent me this little thing making the Internet rounds. Thought I would pass it on.
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. ‘Since you are all such good customers, he said, ‘I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
‘I only got a dollar out of the $20’, declared the sixth man.
He pointed to the tenth man,’ but he got $10!’
‘Yeah, that’s right’, exclaimed the fifth man. ‘I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I!’
‘That’s true!!’ shouted the seventh man. ‘Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!’
‘Wait a minute,’ yelled the first four men in unison. ‘We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!’
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

This is the man that is so dangerously close to the presidency.
...and it appears we are going to have an Obamanation! Yes, our Country is that far gone!
Read: Obama Endorsed by Colin Powell
Let me just say right here, yes I believe God is sovereign and whatever happens in this election will be His will. And if Obama is elected let me say that this will not mean that judgement is coming. I full believe that if Obama is elected it will mean judgement is here!
Consider that we have a Democratic majority in the house and senate, and Obama would be the most left wing liberal President we have ever seen. As an ultra conservative, capitalist human being I shudder to think what will happen to our country if this come to be, but enough of that because as I said, God is sovereign and he knows what he’s doing.
It will be interesting to see which way God takes this.
