thinker.jpgShort thoughts, “In Your Face,” and Quack, quack, quack
\nby Barry Bauer
\n\"\"
\nShort thoughts:
\nThe federal government will be requiring all Americans to have health insurance or pay a hefty fine. Why don’t they tell that to the Illegals from Mexico?
\nDo you ever get the feeling that there’s times you need to go out, and then come back in again?
\nThe worst question ever asked is, “Why?” The worst answer ever given, “I don’t know.”
\nI’ve never been a person who chews their fingernails but I thought, what the hell, I’ll give it a try – they need a little salt.
\nProfessional golf ought to change its rules. They have rear-end rules that seem like they were written by some bloke with an overly stiff upper lip from England. Nobody I’ve ever golfed with plays by these rules.<\/p>\n

The building of a Mosque two blocks from Ground Zero has become a hotly debated issue. Despite what’s being said, it has nothing to do with religious freedoms. For those who have forgotten, you’re talking about a country founded on religious freedom.
\nNobody has a right to do an “In Your Face” to us. It’s that simple.
\nAmerica suffered from what happened on 9-11, more than we realize. And yet, it wasn’t nearly as much as some people wanted us to.
\nIt’s interesting to see that Obama is stumbling all over himself trying to look like he understands the issue. He’s a closet Muslim and no matter how hard he tries, he isn’t fooling anybody. He’s all for it.
\nIn my book you can include this question, do we have the right to build a Christian church within sight of a Mosque in the Middle East. I think not.
\nBecause Obama has bad-mouthed America to the World, defends the Illegals’ right to our benefits, and defends the right of Muslims to build a Mosque near Ground Zero, we wonder whose side he’s on.
\nGees Mr. President, back off a little.
\nThe site of 9-11 is Hallowed ground and there’s no way anybody remotely tied to the perpetrators of this crime, or their religion, should be allowed to build this proposed Mosque anywhere near this site.
\nNo Emperor Hirohito monuments at Pearl Harbor – thank you.
\nWhere in hell did Nancy Pelosi come from? She wants to investigate the backers of the campaign against building the Mosque there. Wouldn\u2019t that be us?
\nShe\u2019s dumber than a fence post on this and many other issues.<\/p>\n

There’s a growing problem in this country that has affected a lot of us. We ask a question and before anybody can jump in and answer it, we answer it ourselves. It’s as if we’re all talking to ourselves.
\nShould I do that? Yes! Is it fair to others? No! Will it clear up by tomorrow? Absolutely! And so our conversations with self go on and on.
\nDo you suppose psychiatrists can help us with this or do they answer their own questions too?<\/p>\n

We’re supposed to have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. That seems to have been thrown by the roadside like so much litter. Today our government is ramming new spending programs, and policies down our throats faster than we can handle the change. Although it was nice to see that Wall Street didn’t miss out on their bonuses thanks to our generosity.
\nWhat’s going on isn’t so much for the benefit of us, it’s for the benefit of others.
\nWe’re like a bunch of ducks that are force fed and overly stuffed with food in order to fatten their livers, known as Foie Gras, for the enjoyment of connoisseurs. It’s not something a working man can afford.
\nToday we have those who reap the rewards of hard work by others via government programs – whether they’re citizens or not. Something doesn’t seem right here.
\nCan you say quack, quack, quack?
\nUntil the next time . . .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
