<title>Our Turn is Coming....... (no replies)</title><link>http://www.lakestockton.com/read.php?58,65270,65270#msg-65270</link><description><![CDATA[ Sherry Hackett, wife of the late Buddy Hackett, is a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat. I would think that many other Democrats share her position...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This was written by Sherry Hackett, Buddy Hackett's widow<br /><br />&quot;WE NOTICED&quot;<br /><br />President Obama:<br /><br />Today I read of your administrations' plan to re-define September 11 as<br />a National Service Day. Sir, it's time we had a talk.<br /><br />During your campaign, Americans watched as you made mockery of our<br />tradition of standing and crossing your heart when the Pledge of Allegiance<br />was spoken. You, out of four people on the stage, were the only one not<br />honoring our tradition.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />During one of your many speeches, Americans heard you say that you<br />intended to visit all 57 states. We all know that Islam, not America has 57 states.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />When President Bush leaned over at Ground Zero and gently placed a<br />flower on the memorial, while you nonchalantly tossed your flower onto<br />the pile without leaning over.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />Every time you apologized to other countries for America 's position on<br />an issue we have wondered why you don't share our pride in this great<br />country.. When you have heard foreign leaders berate our country and<br />our beliefs, you have not defended us. In fact, you insulted the<br />British Crown beyond belief.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />When your pastor of 20 years, &quot;God-damned America &quot; and said that<br />9/11 was &quot; America 's chickens coming home to roost&quot; and you denied<br />having heard recriminations of that nature, we wondered how that could<br />be. You later disassociated yourself from that church and Pastor<br />Wright because it was politically expedient to do so.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />When you announced that you would transform America , we wondered<br />why. With all her faults, America is the greatest country on earth.<br />Sir, KEEP THIS IN MIND, &quot;if not for America and the people who built<br />her, you wouldn't be sitting in the White House now.&quot; Prior to your<br />election to the highest office in this Country, you were a senator from<br />Illinois and from what we can glean from the records available, not a<br />very remarkable one.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />All through your campaign and even now, you have surrounded<br />yourself with individuals who are basically unqualified for the<br />positions for which you appointed them. Worse than that, the majority<br />of them are people who, like you, bear no special allegiance, respect, or<br />affection for this country and her traditions.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />You are 14 months into your term and every morning millions of<br />Americans wake up to a new horror heaped on us by you. You seek to<br />saddle working Americans with a health care/insurance reform package<br />that, along with cap and trade, will bankrupt this nation.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />We seek, by protesting, to let our representatives know that we are not<br />in favor of these crippling expenditures and we are labeled<br />&quot;un-American&quot;,&quot;racist&quot;, &quot;mob&quot;. We wonder how we are supposed to let<br />you know how frustrated we are. You have attempted to make our protests seem<br />isolated and insignificant. Until your appointment, Americans had the right<br />to speak out.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />On September 11, 2001 there were no Republicans or Democrats, only<br />Americans. And we all grieved together and helped each other in<br />whatever way we could. The attack on 9/11 was carried out because we are<br />Americans.<br />And YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />There were many of us who prayed that as a black president you could<br />help unite this nation. In six months you have done more to destroy<br />this nation than the attack on 9/11. You have failed us.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />September 11 is a day of remembrance for all Americans. You<br />propose to make 9/11 a &quot;National Service Day&quot;. While we know that you<br />don't share our reverence for 9/11, we pray that history will report<br />your proposal as what it is, a disgrace.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />You have made a mockery of our Constitution and the office that<br />you hold. You have embarrassed and slighted us in foreign visits<br />and policy.<br />YES, &quot;We noticed.&quot;<br /><br />We have noticed all these things. We will deal with you. When Americans<br />come together again, it will be to remove you from office.<br />Take notice.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />IN GOD WE TRUST!!<br /><br /><br />CW]]></description>

<title>If George Bush was an idiot....... (4 replies)</title><link>http://www.lakestockton.com/read.php?58,64122,64122#msg-64122</link><description><![CDATA[ If George W. Bush had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?<br /><br /><br />If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?<br /><br /><br />If George W. Bush joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?<br /><br /><br />If George W. Bush had put 87000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one company had an accident would you have agreed?<br /><br /><br />If George W. Bush had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him?<br /><br /><br />If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompTer installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent &quot;Austrian language,&quot; would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in theUnited States , would you have said that he is clueless.<br /><br />If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in Texas , would you havethought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.<br />If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to &quot;Cinco de Cuatro&quot; in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had misspelled the word &quot;advice&quot; would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?<br /><br />If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?<br /><br />If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved.<br /><br />If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?<br /><br />So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 15 months -- so you'll have two years and nine months to come up with an answer. Every statement is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.]]></description>

Cutting his trip short, he attempted to make his way home but was stopped by the U.S. Customs Agent at the border.&quot;May I see your identification, please?&quot; asked the agent.<br /><br />&quot;I'm sorry, but I lost my wallet,&quot; replied the guy.<br /><br />&quot;Sure buddy, I hear that every day. No ID, no entry,&quot; said the agent.<br /><br />&quot;But I can prove I'm an American!&quot; he exclaimed. &quot;I have a picture of Ronald Reagan tattooed on one side of my butt and George Bush on the other.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;This I gotta see,&quot; replied the agent. With that, the guy dropped his pants and showed the agent his behind.&quot;By golly, you're right!&quot; exclaimed the agent.<br /><br />&quot;Have a safe trip back to Chicago.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Thanks!&quot; he said. &quot;But how did you know I was from Chicago ?<br /><br />&quot;The agent replied, &quot;I recognized Obama in the middle.&quot;]]></description>

<title>Public Housing (no replies)</title><link>http://www.lakestockton.com/read.php?58,61950,61950#msg-61950</link><description><![CDATA[ The problem with public housing is that the residents are not the owners.<br />The people that live in the house did not earn the house, but were loaned the property from the true owners, the taxpayers. Because of this, the residents do not have the &quot;pride of ownership&quot; that comes with the hard work necessary. In fact, the opposite happens and the residents resent their benefactors because the very house is a constant reminder that they themselves did not earn the right to live in the house. They do not appreciate the value of the property and see no need to maintain or respect it in any way.<br /><br />The result is the same whether you are talking about a studio apartment or a magnificent mansion full of priceless antiques. If the people who live there do not feel they earned the privilege, they will make this known through their actions. The picture below illustrates the point…]]></description>

It had been up a couple of hours when I came in from mowing the yard and check this site. I don't have much use for the guy, but I'm afraid he will take out his anger on Michelle when he sees what has been done to expose his way of life. Whoever put that up knows him well.......even better than we do.

This weekend we are going back down the james river where my friends and family laid him to rest as per his wishes. We stopped at his favorite beer stop on the river had a toast and buried his ashes. I am not intending sympathy or any such thing . This just seemed like a place where I could ramble on a bit without being judged to harshly. I am not gonna lie I miss my pops very badly. He was my best friend and there is not a day that goes by that I don't wish that he was still here to drink a beer with. So if you any of you folks ever float the James or ride across the james drink a beer for my dad Wayne or toot your horn. I can guarantee he will appreciate the gesture. Ride hard my friends, you only have one life to live so make it a good one. I found this out the hard way by losing my buddy. I now take the time to smell the roses and look at all there is to see.]]></description>

Apparently the members over there are not supporting it like you guys do over here, the reason being that they are out riding all the time and don't have any time for computer stuff.<br />I suppose that is a reasonable explanation why posting has dropped way off. Fortunately that problem has not affected lakestock dot com yet. We seem to get in a lot of rides and stay active on the forum as well. A little side note was added about that other forum not having much to say.....I would retort with this:<br />if you have to resort to posting nothing but announcements about upcoming rides and rallies, that gets sorta boring since most of us on all the forums don't make it to those rides, rallies and poker runs in far away places. I know the guys on here try to support as many as we can, but we don't have the vast numbers of active members that have not been removed from our old forum, so we do the best we can with what we have.<br />Peanut Gallery.....what say you?<br />CW]]></description>

<title>Lil Johnny (no replies)</title><link>http://www.lakestockton.com/read.php?58,58460,58460#msg-58460</link><description><![CDATA[ <b>Some of you may enjoy this, some may not, but I just couldn't help myself!</b><br /><br />Lil' Johnny Meets Barack<br />Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'. So our illustrious president asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.<br /><br /><br />One little boy stood up and offered: &quot;If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;No,' said Obama, 'that would be an accident.&quot;<br /><br />A little girl raised her hand: &quot;If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;I'm afraid not,' explained Obama.<br />'That's what we would call great loss.&quot;<br /><br />The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Obama<br />searched the room. &quot;Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?&quot;<br /><br />Finally, at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: &quot;If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Well,' says Johnny, 'It has to be a tragedy,<br />because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss...<br />and you can bet your ass it's probably not an accident either.]]></description>

<title>One Senator's opinion on the new AZ law (2 replies)</title><link>http://www.lakestockton.com/read.php?58,55712,55712#msg-55712</link><description><![CDATA[ I’m Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen. I want to explain SB 1070 for which I voted yes. Rancher Robert Krentz was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago. I participated in a senate hearing two weeks ago on the border violence, here is just some of the highlights from those who testified.<br /><br />The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the Arizona/Mexico Border have for years been terrorized and have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property . One Rancher testified that 300 to 1200 people a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property, stealing his vehicles and property, cutting down his fences, and leaving trash. In the last two years he has found 17 dead bodies and two Koran bibles. Another rancher testified that daily drugs are brought across his ranch in a military operation. A point man with a machine gun goes in front, 1/2 mile behind are the guards fully armed, 1/2 mile behind them are the drugs, behind the drugs 1/2 mile are more guards. These people are violent and they will kill anyone who gets in the way. This was not the only rancher we heard that day that talked about the drug trains. One man told of two illegal’s who came upon his property one shot in the back and the other in the arm by the drug runners who had forced them to carry the drugs and then shot them. Daily they listen to gun fire during the night it is not safe to leave his family alone on the ranch and they can’t leave the ranch for fear of nothing being left when they come back.<br /><br />The border patrol is not on the border. They have set up 60 miles away with check points that do nothing to stop the invasion. They are not allowed to use force in stopping anyone who is entering. They run around chasing them, if they get their hands on them then they can take them back across the border. Federal prisons have over 35% illegal’s and 20% of Arizona prisons are filled with illegal’s. In the last few years 80% of our law enforcement that have been killed or wounded have been by an illegal. The majority of people coming now are people we need to be worried about. The ranchers told us that they have seen a change in the people coming they are not just those who are looking for work and a better life.<br /><br />The Federal Government has refused for years to do anything to help the border states . We have been over run and once they are here we have the burden of funding state services that they use. Education costs have been over a billion dollars. The healthcare cost billions of dollars. Our State is broke, $3.5 billion deficit and we have many serious decisions to make. One is that we do not have the money to care for any who are not here legally. It has to stop.<br />The border can be secured. We have the technology and we have the ability to stop this invasion. We must know who is coming and they must come in an organized manner legally so that we can assimilate them into our population and protect the sovereignty of our country. We are a nation of laws. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens and to protect the integrity of our country and the government which we live under. I would give amnesty today to many, but here is the problem, we dare not do this until the Border is secure. It will do no good to give them amnesty because thousands will come behind them and we will be over run to the point that there will no longer be the United States of America but a North American Union of open borders. I ask you what form of government will we live under? How long will it be before we will be just like Mexico , Canada or any of the other Central American or South American country? We have already lost our language, everything must be printed in Spanish. We have already lost our history, it is no longer taught in our schools, and we have lost our borders.<br /><br />The leftist media has distorted what SB 1070 will do. It is not going to set up a Nazi Germany. Are you kidding? The ACLU and the leftist courts will do everything to protect those who are here illegally, but it was an effort to try and stop illegal’s from setting up businesses, and employment, and receiving state services and give the ability to local law enforcement when there is probable cause, like a traffic stop, to determine if they are here legally. Federal law is very clear, if you are here on a visa you must have your papers on you at all times. That is the law. In Arizona all you need to show you are a legal citizen is a driver license, MVD identification card, Native American Card, or a Military ID. This is what you need to vote or get a hunting license. So nothing new has been added to this law. No one is going to be stopped walking down the street. The Socialists who are in power in DC are angry because we dare try and do something.The Socialists wants us to just let them come. They want the “Transformation” to continue.<br /><br />Maybe it is too late to save America . Maybe we are not worthy of freedom anymore. But as an elected official I must try to do what I can to protect our Constitutional Republic . Living in America is not a right just because you can walk across the border. Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by respecting and upholding the Constitution, the law of our land, which says what you must do to be a citizen of this country. FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.<br />Senator Sylvia Allen .<br /><br /><a href="http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf</a>]]></description>

<title>Obama orders flag taken down (2 replies)</title><link>http://www.lakestockton.com/read.php?58,55572,55572#msg-55572</link><description><![CDATA[ Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti , the United States rushed in to help - with money, medicine, and manpower. To date, we've already given over $179 million in humanitarian aid... but Barack Obama has just ordered all U.S. installations to take down their American flags, lest we be seen as an &quot;occupying army&quot; rather than &quot;international partners.&quot;<br /><br />It is patently appalling that a president of the United States would consider our flag to be a symbol of militaristic takeovers and colonialism, especially when serving (to a greater degree than any other nation on Earth) a humanitarian purpose.<br /><br />Additionally, who would think we'd want to occupy Haiti ?!<br /><br />No other country giving aid in Haiti has lowered its flag. But then again, no other country has a leader who is offended by their own flag.<br /><br />TO VERIFY THE ABOVE I WENT TO USA TODAY, HERE IS THE STORY, WE ARE ASHAMED OF FLYING OUR OWN FLAG AS WE GIVE OUT TAXPAYER DOLLARS. IF THE HAITIANS SEE THE FLAG AND ASSOCIATE IT WITH GENEROUS AMERICANS THAT CERTAINLY WOULD BE A GOOD THING.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2010-03-14-haiti-flag-flap_N.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2010-03-14-haiti-flag-flap_N.htm</a>]]></description>

<title>CHILLING LETTER TO OBAMA (1 reply)</title><link>http://www.lakestockton.com/read.php?58,55492,55492#msg-55492</link><description><![CDATA[ Subject: CHILLING LETTER TO OBAMA<br /><br />Checked out on Snopes. This was written by Lou Pritchett<br />Subject: A LETTER FROM A PROCTER AND GAMBLE EXECUTIVE TO THE PRESIDENT<br /><br />THE LAST SENTENCE IS THE MOST CHILLING<br /><br />Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America 's true living legends--an<br />acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest<br />rated speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize<br />him as the foremost leader in change management.. Lou changed the way<br />America does business by creating an audacious concept that came to<br />be known as &quot;partnering.&quot; Pritchett rose from soap salesman to<br />Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and<br />Gamble and over the course of 36 years, made corporate history.<br /><br />AN OPEN LETTER TO<br />PRESIDENT OBAMA<br /><br />Dear President Obama:<br /><br />You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike<br />any of the others, you truly scare me.<br /><br />You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about<br />you.<br /><br />You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive<br />Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no<br />visible signs of support.<br /><br />You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth<br />growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.<br /><br />You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.<br /><br />You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus<br />don't understand it at its core.<br /><br />You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming<br />others.<br /><br />You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned<br />yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to<br />publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail..<br /><br />You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America '<br />crowd and deliver this message abroad.<br /><br />You scare me because you want to change America to a European style<br />country where the government sector dominates instead of the<br />private sector.<br /><br />You scare me because you want to replace our health care system<br />with a government controlled one.<br /><br />You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly<br />capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.<br /><br />You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose<br />that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of<br />living in the world.<br /><br />You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics<br />against certain banks and corporations.<br /><br />You scare me because your own political party shrinks from<br />challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.<br /><br />You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider<br />opposing points of view from intelligent people.<br /><br />You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both<br />omnipotent and omniscient.<br /><br />You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything<br />you do.<br /><br />You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the<br />Limbaugh's, Hannitys, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing,<br />conservative points of view.<br /><br />You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.<br /><br />Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will<br />probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.<br /><br />Lou Pritchett<br /><br /><br />This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it.<br />Big surprise. Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over<br />500,000 hits. Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed<br />is that good men do nothing.. It's happening right now.]]></description>
