From the Mind of Abouna: THURSDAY STUFF

HA, HA FOR TODAY:

MENTAL HEALTH:

Upon hearing that one of the patients in a mental hospital had saved another mental patient from committing suicide by pulling him out of a bathtub full of water, the director of the hospital reviewed the rescuer’s file and decided that he would release him, so he called him into his office for a consultation.

“Mr. Haroldson,” the director said, “Your files and your heroic actions indicate that you are ready to be discharged. I am only sorry that the man you saved later killed himself by hanging. He was found a few days later with a rope around his neck hanging from a water pipe.”

“Oh, he didn’t kill himself,” Mr. Haroldson replied, “I hung him up to dry.”

NOW HERE IS A GOOD IDEA:

Neither of the candidates running for the top office of president of the United States is good viable choice to lead our nation. Americans should send a strong message to both the Democrat and Republican parties that we will not vote for any candidate who refuses to honor and uphold the principles of the Constitution and to honor the national sovereignty of the U.S. If a large majority of Americans were willing to send such a message, this could very well become a history-making year in the politics of America.

If we continue to accept the failed, mediocre candidates that are foisted upon us by the two major political parties, we will continue to elect candidates that represent lowest common denominator of acceptability, which is what the idea of voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’ means, and it leads to a continued decline of standards of leadership. This is why we end up with morons like Pelosi, Reid, Hillary, and the utter disappointment that G.W. Bush turned out to be.

Neither McCain nor Obama are any where near qualified for the office of President, and both of them will lead this nation down the wrong path, further from our uniquely American concepts of self-government, personal responsibility, national sovereignty and individual rights. It is a real waste of one’s vote to vote for a mediocre candidate of either party.

Barack Obama has got to be the absolutely worst candidate to ever be nominated to run for the presidency of this country (even worse then Carter) his largely extremist socialistic views will damage this country in major ways. But, McCain is really not much better since many of his views on major issues actually mirror those of Obama, and McCain has already stated that if he is elected, he will “work with Nancy Pelosi.”

When Gerald Ford was president, the only thing he stood for was business as usual. Being sick of the corruption in Washington, the people elected Jimmy Carter and stuck with a Democrat dominated Congress. After four years, Americans realized their mistake. Our prestige was in the crapper, our economy was a total mess and Americans were being held hostage in Iran while the Soviets were on the march all over the world. Jimmy Carter himself realized that there was a deep “malaise” that was affecting the whole country; the only problem was that he didn’t even have a clue that he was the one who caused it.

The Americans wised up and knew who to blame, which is why they elected Ronald Reagan in a landslide victory, which would never have happened if they hadn’t gone through the pain and shame of Carter’s failed policy and leadership.

Now, let us suppose that McCain is elected in 2008 and as a foregone conclusion; the Democrats maintain control of both Houses of Congress, we won’t really know who to blame for the resulting failed policies that will be the result. Of course, we all know that the Democrats will place the blame squarely on McCain so that in 2012, we either have a President Hillary Clinton or President Obama. So, in reality, a McCain victory in 2008, just delays the day of reckoning.

Also, if McCain wins in 2008, he will make sure that the Republican Party morphs ever closer into the Democrat Party as McCain forces it to become ever more bi-partisan.

Actually, I feel more and more every day that McCain really doesn’t seem to want to win the election, because his campaign has all of the oomph and spirit as a pair of my dirty socks lying on my bathroom floor, and he seems to be going out of his way to disrespect the conservative base of the Republican Party.

Therein lays the rub, because that leaves us with Obama and we all know that he totally lacks experience, and the very short time he spent in Afghanistan and Iran, along with the quick visits to Germany, France and England, does not count as foreign policy experience. Also, with his ideas for domestic policy, he will tax us into oblivion and turn us into the Socialist States of America, and there may be no coming back.

Therefore, let us all vote NONE OF THE ABOVE!
