Random Thoughts


Random thoughts on the passing scene:

Not since the days of slavery have there been so many people who feel entitled to what other people have produced as there are in the modern welfare state, whether in Western Europe or on this side of the Atlantic.

Economist Edward Lazear has cut through all of Barack Obama's claims about "creating jobs" with one plain and inescapable fact – "there hasn't been one day during the entire Obama presidency when as many Americans were working as on the day President Bush left office." Whatever number of jobs were created during the Obama administration, more have been lost.

How are children supposed to learn to act like adults, when so much of what they see on television shows adults acting like children?

The know-it-all smirks and condescending laughs of Vice President Joe Biden, when Congressman Paul Ryan was speaking during their debate, were a little much from an administration presiding over economic woes at home and disasters overseas – and being caught in lies about both. Like Barack Obama, Joe Biden has all the clever tricks of a politician and none of the wisdom of a statesman.

If you truly believe in the brotherhood of man, then you must believe that blacks are just as capable of being racists as whites are.

One of the most foolish, and most dangerous, things one can do is to take love for granted, instead of nurturing it and safeguarding it as the prize jewel of one's life.

When a wild animal is injured and taken to a sanctuary of any type for treatment there is typically a lengthy stay.Even if it's only a month,that animal has grown so accustomed to being fed & taken care of that it has to be re introduced to the wild a little at a time.People are even worse.If their lives have consisted of entitlements they are completely useless once released.

It's planned mental slavery on a global level. A high level sick, sadistic plan to squeeze our economy into submission. The more people dependent on government, the less biting of the socialist hand. And even good hard working people develope a "f" the world mentality and they blame government for their plight, and feel they wanna take anything big brother will spoon feed em'. Mix that with the wonderful tv that leads the news with a celebrity DUI, and other talking points sent down from the same corporations and banks that control everything including our private/federal reserve to keep the general public distracted and ignorant. And you get the new roman empire, or heck the Greeks now coming soon.
