Some of my relatives were farmers; they had chickens, pigs, and cattle, and they also grew things like corn, wheat, beans, and fruit. I wasn't cut out to be a farmer, and as I got older I tried every trick in the book to keep from going on those family visits.
One of the things that really got to me was the smell of chicken blood. The relatives butchered their own food, and they ate a lot of chicken. They had a whacking stump, which was a big piece of tree where the chicken lost it's head, and subsequently a lot of blood. Nobody ever cleaned this area, they just sort of left it to nature.
In the summertime that chicken blood, mixed with an occasional hog, or maybe a cow, would get hot and smell like nothing I had ever experienced before. Everybody used to get a big laugh when I would lose my lunch. I stopped going on those trips somewhere around fifteen or sixteen, but I can still remember that smell.
These days you can get a whiff of it around large restaurants dumpsters, but other than that I haven't encountered it much.
And it isn't nearly as powerful.
But after observing congress the last few weeks, that smell is starting to get closer and closer to being what I experienced some two decades or more ago.
There sure are a lot of chickens up there in Washington, and most of them are running around with their head cut off, and blood running all over the place. And while it ain't July, it's still pretty warm there, enough to get that blood to bubblin and stinkin.
Yesterday, believe it or not, after already giving away billions to a most undeserving bunch, they were talking about all the new giveaways they have planned for the new year. 50 billion here, a hundred billion there, 300 billion on this, and these stinkin chickins have no idea about how they're going to pay for it all.
Or they do know, and they think that you jess ain't smart enough to figger it all out. Believe me, Senator B.O. knows how he's gonna do it. He's going to stick a hand in the hardest working Americans pocket, and take it from you, and give it someone who hasn't earned it. And the 535 chickens will go right along with the plan.
There is no longer any difference between Democrats and Republicans. There was nobody of standing who stood up and said no, we aren't going to do this. There was nobody to say to Wall Street, "Clean Up Your Own Mess!" It may have been hard, but we would have survived without the bailout.
Genius John wants to treat it like the Great Depression.
B.O. wants nothing short of complete nationalization. Just like his friend Hugo in Venezuela.
The damage the chickens are doing is going to be with us for a long, long time, and it's going to smell like a chicken was butchered on every doorstep.
I think a whole lot more people than than are going to be losing their lunch soon.
Oh yah, Obama is going to help us a lot. Take away our guns, Make gay marriage legal in all states, and change all the school books to depict gays as a normal "Marriage", take the money from the rich and give it to the poor in hand outs. The rich will not be able to create new jobs for the poor. The poor will spend there hand outs on China TV's not pay there bills, Why do that when Obama will just give them more money to by more stuff from overseas. Not creating new jobs.
This country was industrial and it stood for power now "they" whom ever THEY are say we are a service country? and how are all the other service countries doing???
There's no difference between the Party's? I think a few thousand American military dead or a couple hundred thousand dead Iraqi's would disagree if they still had a voice with which to do so.
Obama = Osama? PT Barnum was right, "You can never go wrong, underestimating the ignorance of the American Public".
Dear CNC_Machine_Sales, a famous quote beloved by conservatives is from Lord Alexander Tyler who famously noted that democracies fall after "the public" learns to vote itself monies from the public treasury (the parallels between the fall of Rome and the U.S. are very interesting, by the way). What the conservative have all failed to note in their study of history is that the worst offenders in history were the conservative classes who lined their own pockets from the public treasuries. It was NEVER welfare queens or squandering money on the poor, historically it was always the so called "conservative" parties who squandered the most public monies.
After you lose your job, your retirement funds and your home value, if you fit the profile then you are still likely to hold tight to your dogmatic beliefs even as your middle class life slips away and you sink into poverty and despair. But if so, I honestly sympathize with your self inflicted suffering born of willful ignorance.
Sadly, never "misunderestimate" the politics of distraction, while everyone is running around worried about the 3 G's, our economy and the health of our wealth, innovation producing and prosperity sharing manufacturing sector continues to crumble under tha *****ology of bad trade deals and short sighted economic policies
