THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM

From a teacher in the Nashville area

"We are worried about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream"

The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third
grade this year.

The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed
an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president.

We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the
class would vote.

To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class
members.

We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.

We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to
run for the top spot.

The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were
good kids.

I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental
support. I had never seen Olivia's mother.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first.

He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place.
He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now is was Olivia's turn to speak.

Her speech was concise. She said, "If you will vote for me,
I will give you ice cream."

She sat down.
The class went wild. "Yes! Yes!

We want ice cream."

She surely would say more. She did not have to.

A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream?

She wasn't sure.

Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it.

She didn't know.

The class really didn't care.

All they were thinking about was ice cream.

Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and
52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds.

They want ice cream.

The other 48 percent know
they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."

Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone ---
that they have not first taken away from someone else.

The problem with Socialism comes when you run out of other peoples money.

Frankie says we should watch what they do and not what they say.

Healthcare Solution

Here is the solution: While discussing the upcoming Universal Health Care Program with my sister-in-law the other day, I think we have found the solution. I am sure you have heard the ideas that if you're a senior you need to suck it up and give up the idea that you need any health care. A new hip? Unheard of. We simply can't afford to take care of you anymore. You don't need any medications for your high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, etc. Let's take care of the young people. After all, they will be ruling the world very soon. So here is the solution. When you turn 70, you get a gun and 3 bullets. You are allowed to shoot one senator and 2 representatives. Of course, you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head and all the health care you need! New teeth, great! Need glasses, no problem! New hip, knee, kidney, lung, heart? Well bring it on. And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. And, since you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income tax.

Where are America's Leaders?

Lee Iacocca, 82 year old Chrysler Motor Company savior who designed the first passenger van and brought Chrysler back from another tanking Says, and I quote:

'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder!

We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff; we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind; and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when
the politicians say, 'Stay the course..' Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned, 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the bums out!'

You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore..

The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs.. While we're fiddling in Iraq , the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the ' America' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?

I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with your feet up on the desk and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.

On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand:

We're immersed in a bloody war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving.

We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country.

We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great
companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.

Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy.

Our schools are in trouble.

Our borders are like sieves.

The middle class is being squeezed every which way.

These are times that cry out for leadership.

But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point.

Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than,
making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?

We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and
all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.

Name me one leader who emerged from the crisis of Hurricane Katrina.
Congress has yet to spend a single day evaluating the response to the
hurricane or demanding accountability for the decisions that were made in
the crucial hours after the storm.

Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping it doesn't happen again. Now, that's just crazy. Storms happen.. Deal with it. Make a plan. Figure out what you're going to do the next time.

Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, what are we going to do about it?

Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the gang in Congress. We didn't elect you to sit on your asses and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC news or CNN news will
call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?

Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America . In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years culminating with 9/11.

If I've learned one thing, it's this: 'You don't get anywhere by standing on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to take action. Whether it's building a better car or building a better future for our children, we all have a role to play. That's the challenge I'm raising in this book. It's a "Call to Action" for people who, like me, believe in America '. It's not too late, but it's getting pretty close. So let's shake off the crap and go to work. Let's tell 'em all we've had 'enough.'

Frankie says to watch what they do, not what they say. Later!

A Fox Hunt By Obama and His Crew

October 19, 2009 by kellynla Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him. Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983.. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia . Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding." Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him.. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange? It's very strange." Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Allyn_Root#column-one NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN) Frankie says we really need to watch what the do and not what they say.

Obama's Change We Can Believe. Do You Like It??

The new President of the United States has been in office for six months and has accomplished the following:

1. Obama offended the Queen of England
2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia .
3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega.
4. Kissed Socialist Hugo Chavez on the cheek.
5. Endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia .
6. Sided with Hugo Chavez and Communist Fidel Castro against Honduras .
7. Announced we would meet with Iranians with no pre-conditions while they're building their nuclear weapons.
8. Gave away billions to AIG also without pre-conditions.
9. Expanded the bailouts.
10. Insulted everyone who has ever loved a Special Olympian.
11. Doubled our national debt.
12. Announced the termination of our new missile defense system the day after North Korea launched an ICBM.
13. Released information on U.S. intelligence gathering despite urgings of his own CIA director and the prior four CIA directors.
14. Accepted without comment that five of his cabinet members cheated on their taxes and two other nominees withdrew after they couldn't take the heat.
15. Appointed a Homeland Security Chief who identified military veterans and abortion opponents as "dangers to the nation."
16. Ordered that the word "terrorism" no longer be used and instead refers to such acts as "man made disasters."
17. Circled the globe to publicly apologize for America 's world leadership.
18. Told the Mexican president that the violence in their country was because of us.
19. Politicized the census by moving it into the White House from the Department of Commerce.
20. Appointed as Attorney General the man who orchestrated the forced removal and expulsion to Cuba of a 9-year-old whose mother died trying to bring him to freedom in the United States .
21. Salutes as heroes three Navy SEALS who took down three terrorists who threatened one American life and the next day announces members of the Bush administration may stand trial for "torturing" three 9/11 terrorists by pouring water up their noses.
22. Low altitude photo shoot of Air Force One over New York City that frightened thousands of New Yorkers.
23. Sent his National Defense Advisor to Europe to assure them that the US will no longer treat Israel in a special manner and they might be on their own with the Muslims.
24. Praised Jimmy Carter's trip to Gaza where he sided with terrorist Hamas against Israel.
25. Nationalized General Motors and Chrysler while turning shareholder control over to the unions and freezing out retired investors who owned their bonds. Committed unlimited taxpayer billions in the process.
26. Passed a huge energy tax in the House that will make American industry even less competitive while costing homeowners thousands per year.
27. Announced nationalized health care "reform" that will strip seniors of their Medicare, cut pay of physicians, increase taxes yet another $1 trillion, and put everyone on rationed care with government bureaucrats deciding who gets care and who doesn't.

Bloomberg: Daschle says, "Health care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them," while former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm says seniors have "a duty to die."

If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that the President, Senators and Congressmen have their own special gold plated health care plan which is guaranteed the remainder of their lives and they are not subject to this new law if they pass it.

Please use the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at the grassroots level. We have an election coming up in thirteen months in which we can reverse the dangerous direction of the Obama administration and its allies.

If you disagree, don't do anything. After all, that's what the Obama administration and its allies are counting on..........

Frankie says watch what they do, not what they say.

Make Money at Home? Let Adzzoo Work For You

Hello to everyone wanting to fire your boss; everyone wanting a new career; everyone wanting something to replace the job that was just lost; everyone who needs to supplement your income; everyone wanting to make some Christmas money for gifts; everyone who is looking for success. Today may be your lucky day!

Frankie mentioned in his last post that a home based business is the business which is growing even in this "OBushma" economy. While other businesses are failing because of not enough customers or insurance rates being too high or not being able to afford the new minimum wage, or whatever, home and internet businesses are growing and still making money - a little or a lot - depending on the amount of effort you invest. I didn't say the amount of money you invest, it is really based on the amount of time you invest.

There is of course some investment in every business, but the internet business is the greatest opportunity for making money - net money - that has ever come along. Much of the biz is done 'on line' and that is very inexpensive or free and you do not need to lay out a lot of money for an office, or a franchise which can run into the millions or best of all, employees. At worst, you can have 'team members' but not employees. Our fully functional and massively helpful team site is located here.

My business is the advertising business. Ads are placed for local businesses such as restaurants, landscapers, attorneys, chiropractors, dry cleaners, grocery stores, pet stores, painters, art dealers, sporting goods stores, day nurseries, health food stores, gyms, apartments, real estate agents and brokers, and on and on. All of the places you frequent on a regular basis.

Big League Ads is a dba company and uses the Adzzoo platform on which to build SEO friendly ads, the business and your brand. Adzzoo employs Google trained personnel to construct the ad and place it on the internet. They are familiar with the proper SEO to attract Google spiders to locate your client's ad in a hurry and often. Adzzoo gives a written guarantee to have your customer on the first page of Google within 7 days purchase. A slam dunk!

Frankie is not recommending that you get involved in Adzzoo if you are not serious about needing or wanting some extra money, but he has found the business rewarding if you are willing to invest the time. The charge for a full scale Campaign Director position which carries with bonus programs is less than $300.00 one time charge. You can come in for less than $25.00 per month and work your way up to the CD bonus position after you place a specified dollar amount of ads which many people accomplish the first month, and most upgrade on the first sale. You receive a 40% commission for every ad you place. Did I mention there are no employees? But, there is a very helpful team.

Rather than sounding like too much hype, I will ask you to look at my website which will go into all of the details of the opportunity and the company. If after spending some time on the site, you feel like you can do this business, then simply go to the menu bar and click on 'Join Now.' If, however you have some questions, call me or e-mail me and I will do all possible to answer them. If I cannot, there are several experts on our team who will be able to do so.

Below are are few testimonials from actual clients who have placed an ad with Adzzoo and are willing to show their satisfaction:

I walked into a window and interior design company the other day and when I brought up the word google and would you like to be on the first page I got a earful. These poor people have been advertising with At&t and Yellowbook for years now and they are getting terrible results. Promises of first page not kept, The only place they show is on the yellowbook directory competing with other businesses. I did about 10 searches for her business while I was there and nothing came up. I then did 4 searches for Adzzoo clients we have and they all showed up first page. She is tapped out of money but in January when it is time to renew we will have another happy client. Go out and talk with people who advertise on Yellowbook, Superpages, At&t because we can conver a bunch of them to our platform.

Testimonial By: Tim Turbeville

I submitted my clients info via fax Friday October 2nd. Last night (Tuesday) I received the confirmation from AdzZoo that the site was up and running. This morning I searched for running shoes madison wi and Endurance House (my client) came up on page 1 at the top of the sponsored links. Now that's going to be a happy customer. He has been trying to get to page 1 for 3 years and AdzZoo did it in 2 days, not counting the weekend. That's is the best result a client and salesperson could ask for. I used to sell room additions and sunrooms from $30-$100K each, but these AdzZoo sales are much more rewarding. Date Written: 07 October 2009 Testimonial By: John B

I wanted to thank you again for the terrific job that AdzZoo has done for my insurance agency. Your personal attention to our account is greatly appreciated. When you first told me that you would get me first page placement on Google in seventy-two hours, I was skeptical. I was even more skeptical when you told me the price. Fortunately, I chose to give AdzZoo a try. I am a results based businessman. Thus far, the AdzZoo results have been wonderful. In the first week, my agency: received first class service, achieved first page placement on Google and sold four policies due to our AdzZoo campaign. Thanks for contacting me regarding AdzZoo. Keep up the great work! Take care, Michael Date Written: 06 October 2009 Testimonial By: Michael CA

Dear AdzZoo, As a partner in a well established full service law firm we are always looking for ways to attract new business in this highly competitive market. When I was approached with the AdzZoo online campaign idea I was immediately interested and after performing some due diligence we signed on for an "area campaign". Within days of signing up, our website was on the first page of Google with the primary keywords selected for us by AdzZoo experts. Amazingly we have signed up two new cases as a direct result of the internet presence created for us by AdzZoo within days of appearing. The service and efficiency has been outstanding and I look forward to continuing our business relationship. Thank you, AdzZoo. Very Truly Yours, C.P.I. Esq. Date Written: 06 October 2009 Testimonial By: C.P.I Esq.

One last thing, most businesses are planning ad budgets for next year NOW. Now is the best time to let them know how much money they can save and still be on the first page of Google in the process. You will be a favorite client of theirs.

Hope, Change, Belief, Our Nation Has it All

Did'ja ever think or would you have believed that our great nation could fall in such a great hurry? Did'ja ever think that the unemployment rate would go over 10% and millions of people - citizens and illegal aliens would be on food stamps?

Are the inmates running the asylum? Did'ja ever think that your elected representatives would be kowtowing to a President who apparently does not know how to be a President and is constantly apologizing for the actions of our nations past heroism.

I learned two things today that really make me wonder what in the heck my liberal 'friends' had in mind when they put this frequent flyer in office. I learned that "Obama is hell bent on giving Momar Khadahfy, an admitted anti American, $2 Million and his children $400,000" for some unknown reason. Where is your President going to get it? Taxpayers?

Your President is leaving today or tomorrow for Denmark to try to smoothe talk the National Olympic Committee (NOC) into having the 2016 games in Chicago. Now that is a city we can be proud of?!

Let us try to save some sanity by imposing "Term Limits" on our congressmen and women by voting them out of office those who are falling at the feet of Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod (Obama) and using the two story facility. Vote them out and the Fair Tax in.

They have climbed the ladder of success and are doing the only thing they know to do.
Watch what they do and not what they say.
