American Pigs

There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class.

One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt.

The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime.

In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"

The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.

The young man said that it was no joke.

"You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground.

The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn.

When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming.

When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.

They get used to that and start to eat again.

You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.

The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again.

You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.

Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom.

They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.

Soon they go back to eating the free corn.

They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America.

The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.

One should always remember two truths:

1. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and

2. you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

If you see that all of this wonderful government "help" is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America, you might want to send this on to your friends.

If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life,

then you will probably delete this email.

But, God help us all when the gate slams shut!

Presidential Pranks in Modern America

“You cannot get the water to clear up
until you get the pigs out of the creek.”;


*If any other of our presidents had doubled the
national debt (which had taken more
than two centuries to accumulate) in one year,
would you have approved?*

*If any other of our presidents had then
proposed to double the debt again
within 10 years,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had criticized
a state law that he admitted he never even read,
would you think that he is just an
ignorant hothead? *

*If any other of our presidents joined the
country of  Mexico  and sued a state in
the United States to force that state
to continue to allow illegal immigration,
would you question his patriotism
and wonder whose side he was on? *

*If any other of our presidents had pronounced
the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse,
would you think him an idiot? *

*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000
workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling
on companies that have one of the
best safety records of any industry
because one foreign company had an accident,
would you have agreed? *

*If any other of our presidents had used
a forged document
as the basis of the moratorium that would
render 87,000 American workers
unemployed would you support him? *

*If any other of our presidents had been the
first President to need a Teleprompter
installed to be able to get through
a press conference, would you have
laughed and said this is more proof of how inept
he is on his own and is really controlled
by smarter men
behind the scenes? *

*If any other of our presidents had spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars
to take his First Lady to a play in NYC,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had reduced
your retirement plan holdings
of GM stock by 90% and given the
unions a majority stake in GM,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had made a joke
at the expense of the Special Olympics,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given
Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive
and incorrectly formatted DVDs,
when Gordon Brown had given him
a thoughtful and historically significant gift,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given
the Queen of England
an iPod containing videos of his speeches,
would you have thought it
a proud moment for America ? *

*If any other of our presidents had
bowed to the King of  Saudi Arabia
would you have approved? *

visited Austria and made reference
to the nonexistent "Austrian language,"
would you have brushed it off
as a minor slip? *

cabinet and circle of advisers
with people who cannot seem to keep
current in their income taxes,
would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had stated that
there were 57 states
in the United States , wouldn't you have
had second thoughts
about his capabilities? *

*If any other of our presidents would have
flown all the way to Denmark
to make a five minute speech about how the
Olympics would benefit him
walking out his front door in his home town,
would you not have thought he was a
self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk. *

*If any other of our presidents had been
so Spanish illiterate as to refer to
"Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador
when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo),
and continued to flub it when he tried again,
wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment? *

*If any other of our presidents had burned
9,000 gallons of jet fuel
to go plant a single tree on Earth Day,
would you have concluded
he's a hypocrite?*

*If any other of our presidents'
administrations had okay-ed
Air Force One flying low over millions
of people followed by a jet fighter
in downtown Manhattan causing
widespread panic,
would you have wondered whether they
actually get what happened on 9-11? *

*If any other of our presidents had failed to
send relief aid  to flood victims
throughout the Midwest with more people killed
or made homeless than in New Orleans,
would you want it made
into a major ongoing political issue with
claims of racism and incompetence? *

*If any other of our presidents had created
the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him,
bypassing the House and Senate
on much of what is happening in America ,
would you have ever approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had
ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation,
even though he had no constitutional authority to do so,
would you have approved? *

*So, tell me again,
what is it about Obama that makes
him so brilliant and impressive? *

*Can't think of anything?
Don't worry.

He's done all this in 34 months
so you don’t have that much time to
come up with an answer.*

*Every statement and action in this email is factual
and directly attributable to
Barrack Hussein Obama.
Every bumble is a matter of record
