I came across this quote in the book, “Getting America Right” and thought that it was definitely unique in how well it could be applied today, even though it was 150 years old; and being from Lincoln; I thought that deemed it shareable.
Lincoln, 1858; Chicago: “We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our declaration. Our declaration created them. The things of spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren scepter in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverance which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshipped.”
i recieved a response from john zerwas on the spending cap vote. he voted no cap or increasing the cap.
he said in a letter no less “that to give me a property tax break it was the only way the house could go”
well i wonder - why could they not vote for a one time increase to give us the property tax dollars back? or the cap can be increased only by the amount of property tax reductions - what jerks do these republicans think we are!!!
#6 Yeah. Not that he would make money by knowing where to buy land, being a lawyer for the railroad companies and later as President who would decide where railroads would go through.
BTW, it was not the declaration that did anything. It was the individuals who achieved.
Having Newt display those “Bill Clinton”like practices does not bode well with the conservatives. This is something the liberal media can pounce on with vigor. It’s alright for Bill but not any Republican. Having Bill Clinton back in the White House (via HELLary) is even worse. A vote for HELLary will definitely be a vote for Bill and that suits the liberal media fine!!!
Maybe Purina One would be better, then they would think they were Pomeranians instead of hamsters. They could yap their way to make sure WordPress worked. LMAO
A little Friday fun!
A man rushed into a busy doctor’s office and shouted “Doctor! I think I’m shrinking!!” The doctor calmly responded, “Now, settle down. You’ll just have to be a little patient.”
Back in the 1800s the Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products and, since they already made the cases for watches, they used them to produce compasses. The new compasses were so badly crafted that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California . This, of course, is the origin of the expression, “He who has a Tates is lost!”
A thief broke into the local police station and stole all the toilets and urinals, leaving no clues. A spokesperson was quoted as saying, “We have absolutely nothing to go on.”
There were once three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin, and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant, and the first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This goes to prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.
/no drum roll is necessary…..
So I guess those who are whining about the Libby verdict disagree with Gingrich:
“The president of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge,” the former Georgia congressman said of Clinton’s 1998 House impeachment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. “I drew a line in my mind that said, ‘Even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept … perjury in your highest officials.”
Speaking of Purina Diet, I put my little 95 lb yellow lab pup on Purina 1. His itchy skin cleared up, his coat looked great, and his energy improved. But I liked this Purina story better:
Shakey, there is a huge difference here between Libby and Clinton. In the Libby case, it was a matter of OPINION if he committed perjury or not. In the Clinton case, 225 million Americans watched him commit perjury on TV. Also in the case of Libby, nobody else has been charged with any crime. In the case of Clinton, many of his friends when to prison for crimes committed in the course of the investigations.
I can’t believe we’re still having this argument, but chalk one up for the good guys:
A federal appeals court on Friday overturned the District of Columbia’s longstanding handgun ban, issuing a decision that will allow the city’s citizens to have working firearms in their homes.
In the ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected city officials’ arguments that the Second Amendment right to bear arms only applied to state militias.
In a 2-1 decision, the judges held that the activities protected by the Second Amendment “are not limited to militia service, nor is an individual’s enjoyment of the right contingent upon his or her continued intermittent enrollment in the militia.”
Perhaps a really good test to determine the Republican nominee for President, say if the contest comes down to Gingrich or Giuliani, would be to see which one could screw the most women in the shortest period of time. This, after all, seems to be the major forte of both contenders and, should either of them win the Whitehouse, would put the winner in excellent position for screwing the country, which seems to be the primary function of the Oval Office in recent decades.

Yes.
Did I get a second?
Sex with Newt: Ewwwwwwwww! He got TWO women to do it? Amazing.
Haven’t been able to get into LST yesterday/this morning - did the hamsters get tired?

I ain’t no ways tired, but sometimes it hardly seems worth it to gnaw my way through these leather straps just to get out of bed.

ROFL. My daughter’s boyfriend years ago gave her a Pomeranian and from that point on I understood the meaning of a yap dog and absolutely hated them.
HC in leather is almost like seeing her. Let me leave so I can go hug the toilet.

Maybe Galveston beach could use it. :))))
Wow, you’re back
This thing isn’t working very well today. Must be tired.
I can’t believe we’re still having this argument, but chalk one up for the good guys:
Just wanted to say Hi during THIS 3 minute period while LST is available
*waving frantically from the cheap seats*
#’s 16 & 23 - the only thing missing when one of those mongrels is present is a meat grinder and some fresh tortillas!
Wow, LST is up. The meat grinder must of jammed with the dog meat. :)) I am putting down my Saturday firsties here.
