It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats---yet they are still
POOR

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln

You cannot run away from your own legs.
You cannot digest your own stomach.
You cannot swallow your own throat.
You cannot wash soap. How you gonna wash soap? You gonna break it in half and rub the two ends together? You gonna slide it under the car wash? Cain't wash soap!!!

And you cannot hide from J.R. "Bob" Dobbs because he's stupider than you.

Absolutely True Story: The dude who introduced me to "Bob," is one of my oldest friends, and actually the person who "Jim Ballantine" is mockingly named for. Dude's been in AA for years, but he's actually the least pretentious, non-preachy people you'll ever meet. Not all of 'em are like Chuck.

Would you just let me stir up some shit without getting all stinky yourself Chuck ?

Reminded me of this, check it out around :40 on:

BTW the Lincoln quote strikes me as bullshit, just my gut instinct.

Yep, bullshit

Yep the attribution to Lincoln was the biggest thing I suspected also.

Entitlement cultures end up hampering the one thing that can bring about true economic equality, free enterprise.

A regular Garden of Heathens !
