My favorite email this week offers a good explanation of how Democrats will screw up our economy if we elect Obama, especially if we also re-elect our Democratic Congress. Enjoy!
"Once upon a time, on a farm in Virginia , there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of wheat.
She called all of her Democrat neighbors together and said, 'If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?'
'Not I,' said the cow.
'Not I,' said the duck.
'Not I,' said the pig.
'Not I,' said the goose.
'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen, and so she did. The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.
'Who will help me reap my wheat?' asked the little red hen.
'Not I,' said the duck.
'Out of my classification,' said the pig.
'I'd lose my seniority,' said the cow.
'I'd lose my unemployment compensation,' said the goose.
'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen, and so she did.
At last it came time to bake the bread. 'Who will help me bake the bread?' asked the little red hen.
'That would be overtime for me,' said the cow.
'I'd lose my welfare benefits,' said the duck.
'I'm a dropout and never learned how,' said the pig.
'If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination,' said the goose.
'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, 'No, I shall eat all five loaves.'
'Excess profits!' cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)
'Capitalist leech!' screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)
'I demand equal rights!' yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)
The pig just grunted in disdain. (Ted Kennedy)
And they all painted 'Unfair!' picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, 'You must not be so greedy.'
'But I earned the bread,' said the little red hen.
'Exactly,' said Barack the farmer. 'That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle.'
And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, 'I am grateful, for now I truly understand.'
But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread because she joined the 'party' and got her bread free. And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established.
Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared...so long as there was free bread that 'the rich' were paying for.
EPILOGUE
Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs.
Hillary got $8 million for hers.
That's $20 million for the memories from two people, who for eight years, repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.
IS THIS A GREAT BARNYARD OR WHAT?"

Here's a funny IRS joke I received by email. Enjoy!
The IRS decides to audit Ralph, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor is not surprised when Ralph shows up with his attorney.
The auditor says, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'
'I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Ralph. 'How about a demonstration?'
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'
Ralph says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'
The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'
Ralph removes his glass eye and bites it.
The auditor's jaw drops.
Ralph says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'
Now the auditor can tell Ralph isn't blind, so he takes the bet.
Ralph removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Ralph's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
'Want to go double or nothing?' Ralph asks. 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Ralph stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Ralph's attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.
'Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Ralph told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it..

This is my favorite email of the week. And with the 2008 Presidential election right around the corner, this story has two great lessons we should all definitely remember!
Awsop's Favle told and retold.....
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green."
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake. Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government. Hillary gets her former employer, the Rose Law Firm, to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a jury comprised of single-parent welfare recipients. The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote.
First of all, let's get one thing totally clear...SCHIP is a SHAM.
It's truly a shame. Not only are the Democrats back to their old tricks of trying to hand out government services to every illegal alien they can find. But they're doing it:
SCHIP is not about insuring children and poor people. It's a farce - the Democrats are USING CHILDREN and POOR PEOPLE to gain support for a bill they know would otherwise be overwhelmingly opposed (Remember the Amnesty bill - HELLO?). SCHIP is really a step towards socialized medicine, and an attempt to give free health care to illegal aliens. Call your Senators and Congressmen - or you'll be paying for this free illegal alien healthcare before you know it. And when you get old, you yourself will find yourself with no Medicare. Since we can't afford to give healthcare to everybody, the Democrats have decided that illegal aliens are more deserving of free healthcare than hard-working American senior citizens who have spent their entire lives paying into a corrupt, sham system that promised them something in return.
Below is another email I received from Congressman John Shadegg. This really is a sad day for America.
What a country! Before the Senate gets around to voting on this, everybody and their brother needs to call, fax, and write their Senators to let them know that the State Children's Health Insurance Program, aka 'SCHIP' is a bunch of SH CRAP! Below is a copy of an email I received from Arizona's Republican Congressman John Shadegg. In my humble opinion, Shadegg is one of the good guys - he stands up for conservative values even when it's unpopular with his peers. In fact, to those Arizona Republicans looking for a true conservative to support financially (you know all you people who used to donate money to Senator Kyl and Senator McCain!), I strongly recommend donating money to Congressman Shadegg. From what I've seen, he actually represents his constituents as he was elected to do. He opposed the Amnesty bill while AZ Representative Jeff Flake and Senators Jon Kyl & John McCain caved to the President's shamnesty bill. Shadegg remained firmly opposed even when Bush and his Washington heavies tried to strongarm amnesty opponents - they even went as far as to label opponents as 'racists'. Anyway, before I get side-tracked further, here's Congressman Shadegg's email:
Pedro and Carlos are panhandling in Los Angeles. Pedro drives a Lexus SUV, lives in a mortgage-free house and has a lot of money to spend. Carlos only brings in 2 to 3 dollars a day.
Carlos asks Pedro how he can bring home a suitcase full of $10.00 bills every day.
Pedro says, "Look at your sign. It reads: "I have no work, a wife and 6 kids to support. Look at *my* sign."
Carlos looks at Pedro's sign. It reads: "I only need another $10.00 to move back to Mexico for good."
The past few weeks has been an enormous wake up call to Americans everywhere. As a result of the immigration amnesty battle in Washington, Americans now realize that politicians cannot be trusted...PERIOD. If we take our eyes off them even for a second, the Kennedy crowd starts looking for ways to screw hard-working Americans. And even more disturbing, our so-called "Conservative" Senators jumped right on the immigration bandwagon along with the Dumbocrats.
Here's a link to the names, addresses, phone numbers and fax numbers of several US Senators. These Senators NEED to hear from you - tell them what you think about their 'Shamnesty' bill.
Below is the letter I faxed to most of them (I also faxed a second page containing only a huge "A" for Amnesty!) I feel so much better now...you should try it!
Dear Senator [insert your traitor Senator's name here],
If you support the current immigration bill:
1. You are voting for Amnesty. Spin it anyway you wish, but the American people are not stupid and Americans, more than two-thirds of whom oppose amnesty, will remember you as part of the A-gang. (“A” is for Amnesty)
2. While even legalized ‘illegals’ will NOT be eligible to vote for many years, angry Americans WILL BE VOTING AGAINST Amnesty supporters in huge numbers. All those Americans who called, emailed and faxed your office will be voicing their discontent in the form of a vote for many elections to come.
3. Ask Senator Kennedy how many FAILED AMNESTY bills he’s helped author to date. With his track record on amnesty, he shouldn’t even be allowed in the room while an immigration bill is being written.
4. Also please ask Senator Kennedy how much our taxes will have to go up to pay for this and how much social security and medicare benefits will have to decrease. Certainly a responsible politician would NOT propose a bill that will cost Americans TRILLIONS of dollars without first knowing where the money’s coming from. But wait, nobody thought of that...of course, why worry about how much of OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY YOU’RE SPENDING? Americans struggling to make ends meet can’t go shopping without making sure we have money in the bank first. Yet Congress wants to import tens of millions of welfare recipients without giving any thought to how they will pay for it because it’s NOT THEIR MONEY.
5. WHERE’S THE FENCE that was already approved? There isn’t one yet - that’s exactly why Americans do NOT believe you will secure the border even with amnesty. We are tired of being LIED TO...PROVE YOU CAN & WILL SECURE THE BORDER, and maybe Americans will be willing to swallow the amnesty pill. But NOT until AFTER the border is PROVEN to be secured because we’ve been tricked into amnesty before.6. If you’re lucky enough to be one of the very few who supports amnesty and doesn’t get voted out of office next time you’re up for re-election, have you thought about what you’ll tell your constituents NEXT time the government considers amnesty for the millions of illegals who are encouraged by the passage of this Amnesty bill to illegally cross our still unsecured border in the future?
7. Time will prove this amnesty bill to be a lie. Time will prove that the government still has no intention of securing the border. All who support this bill will be considered liars and traitors by their constituents...actually, I think sell-out is the most common term I’ve heard used. Perhaps you too will feel betrayed by your colleagues who convinced you that the border REALLY will be secured this time if you just give amnesty first. Yet still, you’ll be looking for a new job.
But you still have a chance to do the right thing... Don’t be naive - OPPOSE AMNESTY or look for a new job. SECURE OUR BORDERS NOW, then we’ll talk about amnesty.
