George Bush, Queen Elizabeth And Vladimir Putin

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth and Vladimir Putin all die and go to Hell.
While there, they notice a red telephone and ask what it was for.

The devil tells them, 'it's for calling back to Earth.'

Putin calls Russia and talks for 5 minutes; when he is finished the devil
informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes;
 her phone bill is 6 million dollars, so she writes the devil a check.

Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours;
when he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.

When Putin hears this, he goes ballistic and asks
the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply.

The devil smiles and replies,

"Since Obama took over, the country has gone to Hell 

 ... so it's a local call."

My Work Here Is Done

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery"    --Winston Churchill 

The following was emailed to me the other day....

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the

wealth out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to

work because the other half is going to take care of them;

and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work,

because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Can you think of any reason for not

sharing this?

Neither could I....

God bless and protect us AND, our Constitution....

Iran 1970 vs. Iran Today

Iran 1970 vs. Iran Today....

Any Questions?

The truth is that Iran is a horribly repressive state sponsor of terrorism that is determined to see the state of Israel wiped off the map.  The leaders of Iran are not rational and Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
