Welcome to the Republican Party

Ecclesiastes 2:18 NLT
"I am disgusted that I must leave the fruits of my hard work to others."

Not too long ago, I asked some friends little boy what he wanted to be when he grew up and he said, "I want to be President!"

I knew that his parents standing next to him were Democrats so I asked, "If you were President, what would be the first thing you would do?"

The little boy said, "I'd give free cell phones to all the homeless people!"

"Wow — what a wonderful gift that would be.", I said.

Then I told him, "You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, rake leaves, and wash my car and I'll pay you $50. You could take the money you earned to the store and buy a cell phone and give it to a homeless person."

Because he was only 7, he needed to think this over for a few seconds.

Clearly annoyed, his mom looked at me and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work himself, why should my son do the work for him?"

I looked her straight in the eyes and told her, "Welcome to the Republican Party!"

She hasn't spoke to me since!

Will America Survive?

Republican race, close to the finish,

Which candidate on top, which will diminish,

Neck to neck, vs. Obama polling,

Which against him, make the strongest showing.

Republicans and Independents, all should agree,

Who wins don’t matter, all far better than he,

Everyone must vote, even if by absentee,

Or government becomes, everyone’s bourgeoisie.

Obama wasn’t lying, “A Promise for Change”,

Didn’t expect grandchildren’s taxes, as a bill of exchange,

“Apologizing for Americans”, radical policy change,

Blocking of Keystone Pipeline, his own party finds this strange.

My fellow Americans, come Election Day,

We must come together, in an elaborate way,

Must do it now, American is whittling away,

Someone new out front, come inauguration day.

Acts 13:48 (ESV)
“And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.”

Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.
