If Hillary is planning to run for president in 2016, we need to file this away to remind ourselves what she thinks and will carry out if elected.
"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient,
I was eating breakfast with my 10-year-old Granddaughter
and I asked her, "What day is tomorrow?".
Without skipping a beat she said, "It's President's Day!".
She's smart, so I asked her "What does President's Day
mean?".
I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln,
etc.
She replied, "President's Day is when President Obama steps
out of the White House, and if he sees his shadow, we have
4 more years of Bull**it."
You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose!
Another quote from Jefferson is: "There are two ways to conquer a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt."
The above quote by Jefferson should be required reading and then memorized by members of the Senate, House and Executive branches of our national, state and local governments.
… or, How Obama was Re-elected:
When devastating hurricanes struck the East Coast, even
houses of worship were not spared. A local television station
interviewed a woman from New York's Harlem area and asked
how the loss of churches in the area had affected their lives.
Without hesitation, the woman replied, "I don't know 'bout all
them other peoples, but we haven't gone to Church's in years.
We gets our chicken from Popeye's."
