Its About Time

Great going, Florida. You set the stage for the other 49 States to join! Kudos to Republican Governor Rick Scott for having the correctness and guts to move forward on this critical issue !

Hooray for Florida! !

I-95 will be jammed for the next month or so........Druggies and deadbeats heading North out of Florida..

Florida is the first state - Hooray for Florida!!!!

Florida is the first state requiring drug testing to receive welfare! In signing the new law,

Republican Gov. Rick Scott said, "If Floridians want welfare, they better make sure they are drug-free.

Applicants who test positive for illicit substances won't be eligible for the funds for a year, or until they undergo treatment.

Those who fail a second time would be banned from receiving funds for three years!

Naturally, a few people are crying this is unconstitutional.

How is this unconstitutional ?

It's completely legal that every other working people have to pass drug tests in order to get a J-O-B which supports those on welfare!

Forward if you agree!!

Let's get Welfare back to the ones who NEED it, not those who WON'T get a JOB.....

I AGREE 100%

I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE THIS GUY FOR OUR NEXT VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

This principal is tops!!! A very good read!

We watched high school principal Dennis Prager of Colorado , along with
Sara Palin and Tom Brokaw on TV a couple of weeks ago....what a
dynamic, down to earth speaker. Even though Palin and Brokaw were also
guest speakers they did little but nod and agree with him.. This is the
guy that should be running for President in 2012!

A Speech Every American High School Principal Should Give.

By Dennis Prager.

To the students and faculty of our high school:

I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater
calling than to teach young people.

I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our
school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of
the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked
against you, against your teachers and against our country.

First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not
care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white.
I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American,
Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower
or on slave ships. The only identity I care about, the only one this
school will recognize, is your individual identity -- your character,
your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this
school will care about is American.

This is an American public school, and American public schools were
created to make better Americans. If you wish to affirm an ethnic,
racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go
elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity, race and non-American
nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America ,
one of its three central values -- e pluribus Unum, "from many, one."
And this school will be guided by America 's values. This includes all
after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students
based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual
orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided
by political correctness.

Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic,
racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate
narcissism -- an unhealthy preoccupation with the self -- while the
purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will
have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music,
astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If
the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in
are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that
little outside of yourself really interests you.

Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language.
My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school
speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English
language has united America 's citizens for over 200 years, and it will
unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this
country of immigrants has always come to be one country.. And if you
leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be
remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully
compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here
-- it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English --but if you
want classes taught in your native language rather than in English,
this is not your school.

Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in
this school will reflect learning's elevated status. This means, among
other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many
people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for
church or school. These people have their priorities backward.
Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school's
property -- whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If
you can't speak without using the f-word, you can't speak. By obscene
language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications
Commission, plus epithets such as "Nigger," even when used by one black
student to address another black, or "bitch," even when addressed by a
girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this
school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish
between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.

Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school,
self-esteem will be attained in only one way -- the way people attained
it until decided otherwise a generation ago -- by earning it. One
immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not
eight.

Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away
from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring
you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual
harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to
condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or
primarily a health issue... There will be no more attempts to convince
you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or
not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of
you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself
inordinately lucky -- to be alive and to be an American.

Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag
of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers
will hand them out to you.

Got to love this, what a great idea!

The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the
privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners. It's an armored booth
you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive
device you may have on your person.

Israel sees this as a win-win situation for everyone, with none of this crap
about racial profiling. It will also eliminate the costs of long and
expensive trials.

You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion.
Shortly thereafter, an announcement: "Attention to all standby passengers,
we now have a seat available on flight 670 to London. 
Shalom!"

The Staff: Delivery for: Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Norway, Germany, France, Syria, Afghanistan, Bahrain,Yemen, Qatar, and all other countries pending shipping.


Just a joke but it would be nice.

“They walk among us”.

There should be a test before you are allowed to vote. It certainly is as serious an activity as driving or braiding hair. The accumulated statistics on the test results will shock you. 

As the saying goes: 

“They walk among us”.

Can You be Trusted to Vote Intelligently???

This is a terrific and incredibly easy 11-question test. And it shows results in a number of ways. It clearly indicates that the majority of Americans don't have a clue about what's going on in the world. No wonder our politicians take such advantage of us. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue, and that's pretty scary. There are no tricks here - just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. This is quite good and the results are shocking. I believe it was Winston Churchill who opined that " . . . the biggest argument against democracy is a 5-minute conversation with the average voter . . ." Test your knowledge with 11 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did!

Some Points to Consider – but we already knew this didn’t we?

Some of these have been around before - some new to me....   Subject:   Points to Ponder 1. In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a Congress. -- John Adams  2.

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else. -- Frederic Bastiat  11. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. -- Ronald Reagan  12. I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. -- Will Rogers  13. If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free. -- P.J.

No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session. -- Mark Twain  17. Talk is cheap... except when Congress does it. -- Anonymous  18. The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. -- Ronald Reagan  19.

Did you know this about Herman Cain?

One more thing I might add:  Herman is a committed Christian.  Also, his father was chauffeur for Robert Woodruff of the Coca Cola Company

Subject: Did you know this about Herman Cain? I just found this Bio on Herman Cain; Herman Cain is running for president. He’s not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). He’s known as a pizza guy, but there’s a lot more to him. He’s also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy. Here’s his bio: Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. Master’s degree in Computer Science. Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist). Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola. VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation). All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers! Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers. Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months. In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry. He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side. Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again! Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses. Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system. After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time! Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid. Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country). He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century. The Staff: What we find so refreshing about Mr. Cain is his direct answers to questions and if he doesn't have an answer, he will tell you so and than get the answer. Today so many politicians don't answer direct questions and ramble on about something else.

Had to Comment

I have found it very difficult to write since I lost my wife to Ovarian Cancer and unable to focus. After listening to the governor of LA I had to say something.

He was on one of the news shows this am and talking about how the government can not create jobs and I fully agree it is the private sector that we should look to for job creation, not big brother. He was asked why he supports Rick Perry as they were speaking about jobs being created and how the Obama administration can not create jobs. In the next breath he said he supports Perry because he created all those jobs in TX. I'm sorry but this is crap. How in the hell does he bitch about the federal government not creating jobs and in the same interview he supports Perry for doing what he said government can't do. I'm sorry but you can't have it bother ways for an election.

Until both parties start telling the truth no one will believe anything they say and that is the best. Politicians and lawyers are both the same, they talk out of both sides of their mouth. Far to many Americans listen to both sides and believe everything they say. A great deal of this country is damn near brain dead and better wake up before the next election and decide if they want freedom. If you want big brother to take care of you from birth to death, vote for the socialists who are in Washington now.

If you want freedom as our country was founded on, vote that way or don't bitch about what happens. Believe no one and research answers for yourself.
