This photo shows a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect wildlife in the USA. Animals that were formally self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democratic Party...as they have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and well being.

Sorry but i got to get a little political again. A good friend of mine sent this to me the other day and I thought it was good. It does not matter what your political affiliation is, this article will be interesting to you.....


By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices
545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated i ts Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party.
She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ.
If they do not receive
social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone,
should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses
provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!



On the other hand, you have different fingers.


42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.


99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.


Remember, half the people you know are below average.


He who laughs last, thinks slowest.


Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.


The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.


Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.


A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.


Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.


If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.


How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.


OK, so what's the speed of dark?


When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.


Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.


How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?


Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.


What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?


Why do psychics have to ask you your name?


Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, 'What the heck happened?'


Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.


Light travels faster than sound.. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.


Life isn't like a box of chocolates . It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.

'If you don't read the newspaper
you are uninformed, if you do
read the newspaper you are
misinformed.'

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a
man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
-Winston Churchill

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support
of Paul.
-.George Bernard Shaw

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops
moving, subsidize it.
-Ronald Reagan (1986)

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to
take everything you have. -Thomas Jefferson
