Here is an email I got at work tonight that sums it up pretty good.
I still think the answer is far less government and for more gun toting US citizens.

Now here's a reality check!

This is too true to be very funny.

The next time you hear a politician use the
word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of its releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were Living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and
20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans. It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu , is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number, what does it mean?

A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.

B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.
Washington , D.C , Ottawa, Canada.... HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??

Tax his land,
Tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.


Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.


Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.


Tax his ties,
Tax his shirts,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.


Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.


Tax his booze,
Tax his beers,
if he cries,
Tax his tears.


Tax his bills,
Tax his gas,
Tax his notes,
Tax his cash.


Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.


If he hollers, Tax him more,
Tax him until he's good and sore.


Tax his coffin, Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.


Put these words upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me to my doom!'


And when he's gone, We won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!!
STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?


No taxes existed 100 years ago,
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world,
and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'
And I still have to 'press 1' for English.
I hope this goes around THE USA and Canada at least 100 times


What the hell happened?????

Hey Frog,
Where'd that poem come from? I'd like to use it, but I want to give
attribution to the author.

I cant see anyone screwing with the U.S. with you and I at the helm, and you could be damn sure no one would make an attempt on your life knowing that a guy like me would be the next in line.

Yeah international diplomacy is not really one of my stronger suits. Take for instance the incident that occurred yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz. An American cargo ship got harassed by Iranian gun boats again. The ship is under Navy contract so, apparently, there are Navy personnel on board and they fired some warning shots.

I personally am over firing warning shots. The Iranians have been warned time and time again not to approach our ships. Now they have to start losing them (their boats). So we take out the boats as they come towards our ships, no warning, they just go bye-bye. Next we seed a mine field around their ports but still in international waters and keep them penned in.

Now let's cause some problems for them on their own turf. Incite the locals, make daily life very unpleasant for them, disrupt utilities and transportation services, any reason why their military can't worry about IED's? We have "true" stealth fighters now right? Why not knock their military aircraft out of the sky? "You say some of your aircraft are spontaneously combusting?" Better get that checked out.

No need to put thousands of American troops on the ground, I say turn Iran into a Special Forces playground. Give these guy everything they need and turn them loose. Go perfect your skills gentlemen.

Keep those goofballs so frickin' busy chasing ghost in their own country that they don't have time or resources to to cause mayhem elsewhere. Let's see how this option works and then adjust as needed.

Let the rest of the world realize "Hey if we screw with the Americans, some crazy stuff might start happening in our own backyard."
