Happy belated Halloween! Got this email last night:
Three children go out trick or treating. Two went out early - - the third slept late and then joined them. The three knock on a door, and the man who answered is shocked that two of the three have bags full of candy and the third had none. He declares that this is not right and then takes candy from the two and gives to the third so that all might share equally. One child goes away with a smile on his face (guess which one). Two children go away on the verge of tears and vow never to begin their trick or treat work day early again because - - what’s the incentive to work harder. By the way, the other one also resolved to continue to sleep late and never go out early to trick or treat because - - - why should he??!!!!! RESULTS: incentive dies on both sides of this issue.
Scary stuff, that socialism.
Last night I was down to my last two tootsie rolls when the doorbell rang. There at the door were two boys… and right behind them were another boy and a girl. The costumes they wore were confusing.
“I only have two pieces of candy left, so if you don’t mind explaining who you’re supposed to be, I’ll give this candy to the two of you who deserve it more,” I said.
The one boy said he was dressed as “Hope and Change”. It was a little hard to believe. The other boy was dressed up like a pilgrim, and he said, “Happy Thanksgiving! When our forefathers came to this great land…” then the first boy nudged him in the ribs with his elbow to shut him up.
I turned to the boy and the girl. The boy was wrapped in an American flag. He said, “Don’t give the candy to those two, they’re scary!” The girl was dressed in an expensive costume like she was going to a prom. She winked at me, and said that the boy who was dressed as Hope and Change “lives next door to the boy who egged your car.”
“I know that kid,” I said. “That was years ago. He’s a teacher now. But you haven’t explained what you’re supposed to be. So I’ll give you another chance.”
The boy who was wrapped in a flag said he didn’t care about washed-up egg-throwers, but I shouldn’t trust the boy dressed as Hope and Change anyway. The girl said I should give her both pieces of candy, because some guy named Joe the Plumber said so.
This election could be the most important one in our lives. America is facing many, many problems. Who would you rather hire to run things: the guy who graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University School of Law, or the guy who went to Annapolis on a family exemption, and graduated fifth from the bottom of his class?
Who is the one who has done everything he could to achieve when given an opportunity, and who is the one who has taken advantage of the system whenever he could, and abused his privileges? Hint: read John McCain’s autobiography.
McCain is the trick-or-treater who slept late in the first story.
Look at the way the two candidates ran their campaigns.
They ran their campaigns exactly how you would expect a guy who graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University School of Law and a guy who graduated fifth from the bottom of his class would run their campaigns. Think about how they would run this country. You might not like what the guy with the obviously better campaign stands for, but can we risk having the other guy running things? Country first, remember? And other than that he’s not a Democrat, what exactly does John McCain bring to this country? Besides fear?
