April 1st, But No Joke!

This is the traditional April Fools Day, where we try to catch other people in jokes and such, all in the name of fun. Well, this one is neither an April Fools joke or a sad attempt to drag you into an 'I gotcha' state. This morning I received the following e-mail, and after reading it, you'll wish it was an April Fools Day joke: Subject: IMPEACH HER NOW BEFORE SHE DOES FURTHER DAMAGE LET'S IMPEACH HER NOW BEFORE SHE DOES FURTHER DAMAGE!! WHAT AN IDIOT!! IF YOU DON'T AGREE JUST DELETE--IF YOU DO--PASS IT ON!! WHERE DO WE GET THESE MORONS' Windfall Tax on Retirement Income Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you're so darn stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below............... Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren't going to believe this. Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds! Alas, it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities! This woman is frightening. She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Marx say something like this?), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.' (I am not rich, are you?) When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied: 'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.' (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in.) 'Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it'. Send it on to your friends. I just did!! This lady is out of her mind and she is the speaker of the house!

Gun Shy She's Not!

Today I received the following e-mail:

At a time when so much is being made>> about our first black president, Ann Coulter made the>> following observation in her February 25th>> column:>> >> >> >> " As long as the nation is obsessed with historic>> milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great>> country it is when a mentally retarded woman can become>> Speaker of the House

OUCH!!!

Potential Costly Mistake

Glenn Beck of Fox News tells it like it is. Today, President Obama announced that he had ordered the closure of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay. I personally don't think that the new administration thought this thing out too carefully. There is a lot more to this than closing the prison. There remains the fate of the prisoners currently incarcerated there. Keeping in mind that they are all terrorists with ties to Al-Quaida, they would have to be transferred to other locations on the mainland.

While the idea gets many kudos amongst liberals, these same people don't want these criminals in their back yards. Whatever happened to 'you can't have your cake and eat it too'? Not to fear, though, Glenn Beck proposes to send them to Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. True, it's located in House speaker Nancy Pelosi's district, but because she supports the President's idea, maybe she should be in charge of housing them! It's important to remember that many of these people return to the battlefield once they're released, as has been discovered in recent raids. Just think of it this way, Madam Speaker, every one of these suspects you release could cost many of our brave soldiers their lives.
