FREEDOM WORKS!
Lower Taxes, Less Government, More Freedom

The following alert is from freedom works:

Georgians deserve property tax relief!
Tell Gov. Perdue to cut property taxes

Governor Sonny Perdue is blocking long-overdue property tax cuts in the Georgia state budget. First, last month he vetoed the entire tax-cutting budget, and now he’s adopting another tactic.

The Associated Press reported that Gov. Perdue will rescind his veto and instead use a line item veto to reject $142 million in property tax cuts. As a Republican Governor, he should know better.

Georgia needs tax relief, and the line-item veto should be used to cut spending, not to kill broad-based tax relief.

Lamar's Democrats=============
The Democrats remain the party of gun-grabbers. Its leading presidential candidates view gun-owners as crackpots and nutballs, and treat the Second Amendment as a nuisance to be circumvented and cured. Big Nanny, not bedrock constitutional principle, rules.

The Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot by taking arrogant potshots at gun owners in a nationally televised debate. A recent Gallup Poll showed that roughly one in three Americans who live in the Midwest and South owns a gun; 27 percent of independents and 23 percent of Democrats identify themselves as gun owners. A majority use their weapons for crime prevention.

I'm shocked. I'm agreeing with somtimeman!

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Wow, I'm speechless!

[manape]

I'm hoping it isn't a trend for me to agree with sometimer. I could only mean two things.

1. He said it enough to make be me believe it.

2. There goes the political forum...I think you pointed out short that if we all agreed, we would have nothing to post.

Shortcircuit, someone has to argue with socrazyman. He seems to have such a magnetic personality (like poles) that he repels most everyone else and they leave, and never come back. I just don't understand it....sometimeman is sometimesright.

Manape, never thought I would ever hear you agree with sometimeman. Wonders never cease!!!

[manape]

I hope sometimeman doesn't let it go to his head. Why ruin a good disagreement? He got me on the tax thing too. What am I going to say? I love paying taxes? I think not!

[sometimeman]

Ape-rat.

Why can't you be sweet all the time? You could be such a nice fellow!

[manape]

Sometimeman, I might just try being a nice fellow. I guess it won't hurt me.

[sometimeman]

Dang! Ape-

If you'll be sweet over on the Lamar Paris thread, I will to! OK?

[manape]

OK, If it will make you feel better.

I'm researching this "Fair Tax" we are all talking about. Take a look and comment, please.

Subject: Analogy
Something to think about......


I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.

Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.


But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table..everywhere.

Then some of the birds turned mean:

They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.

And others birds were boisterous and loud:

They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore.

I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone.

I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be..... quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see...... our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.

Then the illegal's came by the tens of thousands.

Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: your child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English: Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
