Sir, I would like a raise.

Employee: Excuse me, sir, may I talk to you?
Boss: Sure, come on in. What can I do for you?
Employee: Well, sir, as you know, I have been 
an employee of this prestigious firm for over 
ten years.
Boss: Yes.
Employee: I won't beat around the bush. 
Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have 
four companies after me and so I decided 
to talk to you first.
Boss: A raise? I would love to give you a raise, 
but this is just not the right time.
Employee: I understand your position, and I 
know that the current economic downturn has 
had a negative impact on sales, but you must 
also take into consideration my hard work, 
proactiveness, and loyalty to this company for 
over a decade.
Boss: Taking into account these factors, and 
considering I don't want to start a brain drain, 
I'm willing to offer you a ten percent raise and 
an extra five days of vacation time.
How does that sound?
Employee: Great! It's a deal! Thank you, sir!
Boss: Before you go, just out of curiosity, 
what companies were after you?
Employee: Oh, the Electric Company, 
the Gas Company, the Water Company, 
and the Mortgage Company!

Venice Muslims

Because there are no mosques in Venice,
the Government has allowed Italian Muslims

Osama bin Laden.


So far it's reported that 543 have drowned.

A Study In American History



The teacher said, 
"Let's begin by reviewing some 
American History.  
 Who Said 'Give me Liberty , 
or give me Death'?"

She saw a sea of blank faces, 
except for Little Johnny a bright 
foreign Exchange student from 
Japan, who had his hand up: 
'Patrick Henry,   1775' he said.

'Very good!'

Who said, 'Government of the People, 
by the People, for the People, 
Shall not perish from the Earth?'


Again, no response except from 
Little Johnny,  'Abraham Lincoln, 1863'.

'Excellent!', said the teacher continuing, 
'let's try one a bit more Difficult...'

Who said, 'Ask not what your country 
can do for you, but what you can do 
For your country?'


Once again, Johnny's was the only 
hand in the air and he said;  
'John F. Kennedy, 1961'. 

The teacher snapped at the class,  
'Class, you should be ashamed of 
Yourselves, Little Johnny isn't from 
this country and he knows more 
About our history than you do.'

She heard a loud whisper:  
'F#*k the Japs,' 

'Who said that? I want to know right now!' 
she angrily demanded.

Little Johnny put his hand up, 
'General MacArthur, 1945.' 

At that point, a student in the 
back said,  'I'm gonna puke.' 

The teacher glares around and asks,  
'All right!!!  Now who said that!?'

Again, Little Johnny says, 
'George Bush to the Japanese 
Prime Minister, 1991.'

Now furious, another student yells, 
'Oh yeah? S#*k this!'

Little Johnny jumps out of his chair 
waving his hand and shouts to the 
Teacher 
'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!'

Now with almost mob hysteria 
someone said, 'You little s*+t. 
If you say Anything else, I'll kill you.'

Little Johnny frantically yells at the 
top of his voice, 
'Michael Jackson to the child witnesses 
testifying against him, 2004.'

The teacher fainted. 

As the class gathered around the 
teacher on the floor, someone said, 
 'Oh S+*t, We're screwed!'

Little Johnny said quietly, 
'the American people, November 4, 2008.'

Obama’s ineligibility: Picking up the pieces after political Armageddon

It is becoming increasingly likely that
Barack Hussein Obama will be forced to resign
the Presidency before the 2012 election.

Vice President Biden will also be obliged to resign,
as will Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor and Kagan.

All Obama’s appointments and all the legislation
he has signed will be null and void.

The crisis we now face is not a failure of the
American experiment, but, as citizens, we have,
for far too long, been silent and inattentive.


Most of the guilt lies with a permanent political
class and a grossly dysfunctional press corps, who,
for reasons of complicity, negligence, avarice or
cowardice, have contributed to the greatest fraud
in the history of the United States.

The permanent political class and the main stream
media (MSM) have become a corrupt, incompetent,
profligate, selfish and undemocratic American aristocracy.

Even if one considers the Obama Administration as legitimate,
which it is certainly not, the results have been a disaster.

Obama and his cheerleaders in the MSM have brought our
country weakness, indecision, mediocrity and ineptitude,
drifting from crisis to crisis, bankrupting our country,
while eroding our national will and confidence.

We must again embrace the spirit of the American Revolution
and reject the notion that a small permanent political class
in a capital insulated from common sense can dictate to us
their own tyrannical and flawed vision of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.

The permanent political class uses its powers and taxpayer
money to perpetuate itself. Contrary to their view, ours is
a nation with a government, not the reverse. The political
aristocracy presumes powers and extends itself privileges
not granted it by the people and, at the same time, refuses
any form of accountability.

The American people have not lost confidence in themselves.
They have lost confidence in their government.

As Ronald Reagan once stated:

“I believe this nation hungers for a spiritual revival;
hungers to once again see honor placed above political
expediency; to see government once again the protector
of our liberties, not the distributor of gifts and privilege.”

We now have far too many rogue, self-serving politicians
dispersed throughout the highest levels of the federal
government trying to maintain a corrupt status quo.

It will now be the duty of ordinary Americans to remove
that dishonest aristocracy, salvage our republic, take
back our government and re-shape our own destiny.

We must return to the letter and spirit of the 10th article
of the Bill of Rights, which asserts that the federal
government should execute only those functions explicitly
defined in the Constitution.

Our bloated federal bureaucracy has assumed power it was
never intended to have and has exercised those powers
inefficiently, ineffectively and indiscriminately.

The fall of Barack Obama will expose the endemic corruption
within our political system. Many in our political leadership
will be charged with felonies. Some will go to prison.

It will be a national trauma equivalent to the Civil War.

It will, however, also provide an opportunity for an
American Renaissance.











In the darkest days of the American Revolution, when
General George Washington’s men were freezing and starving
at Valley Forge, Thomas Paine said:
“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”

We still have that power.
We have the strength to renew the American dream,
if we stand together.
