I'll Title It - Does Anyone Have a Bead On Reality?

BRILLIANCE IN 3 PARTS

 

Part I:

 

A. Back off and let those men who want to marry men, marry men.

 

B. Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women.

 

C. Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies.

 

D. In three generations, there will be no Democrats.

 

I love it when a plan comes together; don’t you?

 

 

 

Part II:

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

 

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats... Yet they are still POOR.

 

 

 

Part III:

 

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

 

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

 

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

 

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

 

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

 

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's Initiative and independence.

 

 

 

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
