AN ANCIENT TRUTH

Aesop said:

"After all is said and done, more is said than done."

Hypocrisy

The holier than thou hypocrits are lambasting Obama about his religion or lack of religion. I was sorry to see that he caved in to the God Squad and went to church today. I have spent a lot of my 77 years thinking about this religon business. I want to make something perfectly clear. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO GO TO CHURCH TO BE A GOOD PERSON. Furthermore, the pages of history are rife with evidence of church goers being very evil people. I have thought for many years that the church term "pew" had some reference to the moral stinkers that populated those seats.

So there! I said it. You don't like it? TOUGH!

"CHANGE THAT MATTERS"

My Democratic Party brethren have come up with a new slogan for policy, "Change that matters". I would like to remind my brethren that when push comes to shove, the change that matters is the change in your pocket, and the replenishment of same when it's time to buy bread. Let us not forget the Great Depression and the famous anthem from that time, "BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME"

"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Jay Gorney (1931)

They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?

BOOK BURNING

The written word is one of the foundations of civilization. From the earliest times, the authors, prophets, and seers have codified the wisdom of their time for all of us to benefit from. All this thought, knowledge and history is in books and preserved in our libraries for the benefit of all generations.
A fool who claims to be a "man of God" proposes to burn copies of the Quran. If there si a Hell as is claimed by the theologians, this evil person should suffer the same fate as he wishes to befall the Quran.

Further thought on book burning.
A book is only paper with printing on it. If it should happen to be burned, or destroyed by some other means, the intelligense and principles contained therein are not lost. It is foolish,crude and stupid to try to make a point by burning a book. The burner only shows gross stupidity.
Principle will live on in spite of fools and charletans.
