"The ONE" .... the Savior of Howard, KS???

[Warph]

Written by an unknown Pastor's wife, and brilliantly said:

                                    "The One"

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land
called America , having lost their morals, their work initiative, and their
will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person
known as "The One". 

He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no
meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them,  "I am sent to save you.

My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my
association with evil doers are of no consequence.  For I shall save you with
Hope and Change.  Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who
preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has
built must be destroyed."

And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what "The One" would
do, he had promised that he would bring change, and they proclaimed,  "Yes We
Can".

And "The One" said,  "We live in the greatest country in the world.  Help me
change everything about it!"

And the people said,  "Hallelujah!!  Change is good!"

Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,  "---- And the people
said "Sock it to them!"  "---- and "Redistribute their wealth."

And then He said,  "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody"

And the people said,  "Show us the money!

And Joe the plumber asked,  "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my
money and give it to the deadbeats??"

And "The One" ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were
hacked, publicized, and ridiculed; though no crime could be found.

One lone reporter asked,  "That shouldn't be, isn't that Marxist policy?"

And she was banished from the kingdom!

Then a citizen asked,  "With no foreign relations experience and having zero
military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical
terrorists?"

And "The One" said,  "Simple.  I shall sit with them and talk kindly to them
and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever
wanted to kill us all!

And the people said,  "Hallelujah!!   We are safe at last, and we can beat our
weapons into free cars for the people!"

Then "The One" said,  "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."

And one, lone voice said,  "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes."

So "The One" said,  "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats
pay!"

And the people said,  "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"

Then "The One" said,  "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your
homes!"

And the people yawned and the already slumping housing market fully
collapsed.

And He said,  "I shall mandate employer-funded health care for EVERY worker
and raise the minimum wage, and lower the white collar wage.  And I shall
also give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and even
transportation to the free clinics."

And the people said,  "Give me some of that!"

Then he said,  "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."

And the people said,  "Where's my rebate check?"

Then "The One" said,  "I shall bankrupt the coal industry, and perhaps even
the oil industry (Cap & Trade/Carbon Tax) and though electricity rates will
skyrocket, we shall soon build wind farms and solar power stations and drive
green cars that I shall mandate in Detroit!"

And the people said,  "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal!  But we
don't care for that part about higher electric rates."

So "The One" said,  "Not to worry. If your rebate ($10/week) isn't enough to
cover your extra expenses ($3,000/year), we shall bail you out. Just sign up
with ACORN and your troubles are over!"   "Only the fat cats will have to
pay."

Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted.  Let's grant
them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical
care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..."

And the people said, "Hallelujah!!"  And they made him King!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and
ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers; though they
sold much less of their products.   

Others simply gave up and went out of business, and the economy
sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff.  The banking industry
was destroyed.  Manufacturing slowed to a crawl.  And more of the
people were without a means of support.

So "The One" again blamed the prior administration, extended unemployment
benefits to a year, bailed out his favorite banks, and then took over the
banks and auto industries. 

"The One" said,  "I am the "The One" - The Messiah - and I'm here to save you!   
We shall just print more money so the government will have enough!" 
"Surely one trillion dollars will make everyone happy." 
And immediately the Fed complied and the money presses roared.

And China reconsidered their one trillion dollars of loans to the US ,, and
threatened to call in their debts. Other foreign trading partners said unto
"The One,"  "Wait a minute.  Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung!
You will have to pay more.. for everything.. as your dollar becomes worthless."

And the people said, "Wait a minute.. That is unfair!!"

And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have
embraced.  Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power.
What factories are not owned by your government are owned by us.  Now you
shall play by our rules!"

And "The One" said,  "Americans are arrogant, divisive, and derisive!"   "We
will listen."

And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!!  What have we done?"

But yea verily, it was too late.  The people eventually set upon "The One"
and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung.  But the once mighty
nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or
shelter or hope.  And the Change that "The One" had given them was as like
unto a poison that had destroyed them from within, and like a whirlwind that
consumed all that they had built.

And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, "Give
us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!"

But it was too late, and the once-glorious  "Home of the Brave and Land of
the Free" was no more..

You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's not.  It's happening RIGHT NOW,
Already everything down to the last few  lines.

Hope everyone reads this and realizes the truth in it.  When O comes to the end of his term, we need him to be voted out and someone with some old-fashioned sense brought in.  I want my children and future grandchildren to grow up with the same sense of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get on with it" that I did...And I want there to be enough of a country left at that time to reward their efforts.

[Diane Amberg]

Ahem.  And it came to pass that Joe the plumber changed parties. I haven't lost anything so far that could be blamed on the Pres.  I'll speak up loudly if I do. I'm not especially for him, but I don't like people making it look like he has said things that he has not. I don't like it when anyone is treated that way.

[redcliffsw]

You haven't lost anything?  What about the USA?

I'm against this building of fortunes from public debt.
It's not what the founding fathers establsihed.

[Warph]

I haven't lost anything so far that could be blamed on the Pres.  I'll speak up loudly if I do. I'm not especially for him, but I don't like people making it look like he has said things that he has not.

I imagine Billy and Red would have a field day with what you've haven't lost, Diane.... I'm sure they will be glad to point them out to you.   

Now, what are these "things"

[Diane Amberg]

These things? Almost everything that had quotation marks around it. He never said, "We are going to tax the rich fat- cats.", He didn't say "I am sent to save you." He never said, "Let me change everything about it." He never said," Simple, I shall sit with them... He never said," "I shall bankrupt the coal industry...." He certainly never said," I am "The one", The Messiah and I'm here to save you, and on and on and on. She may think those things and they are things others have said about him, but he didn't say them.They cannot be shown as direct quotes. Now that it's on the Internet, some people will think that he really did say those things, and it will wrongly replicate itself forever. Or maybe that's the whole idea. Sorry, opinions are fine, but I don't want anyone treated that way. According to Billy, anything I might have lost was my own dumb fault, nobody else's. Because nobody made me do it, or spend it, or charge it, or invest it.  I guess they'll have to tell me what Pres. Obama has already caused me to lose. I suppose the potential is always there, but I can't find anything that can be directly attributed to him.

[Wilma]

Diane, the voice of reason, thank you.

You are right about one thing anyway, no matter what anyone has to say about it.  Now that it has appeared and is available to the public, it will be believed as if it were the Bible.  There are some people so stupid that they cannot think for themselves and believe everything they see, read, hear or presume.

Like, Diane, I have not lost anything since President Obama took office.  And because he is the President of the United States of America, duly elected by the majority of the voters, he is due the respect of said office.  This country is carrying freedom of speech too far.  And it hasn't just started with the election of Obama.  It has been happening for a long time.  Our elected officials are fair game for any kind of malicious taunting you want to come up with.  And the stupid part of the country believes it, as do a lot of foreign countries that are just looking for a reason to heap more ridicule upon us.  It IS time to wake up.  It is time to wake up and treat our country with respect again.

I imagine Billy and Red would have a field day with what you've haven't lost, Diane.... I'm sure they will be glad to point them out to you.
Now, what are these "things"

Actually, Warph, I am not going to touch this one.  I have pointed out many times the things Nobama has done,  if she is one of those people that are 

  ...so stupid that they cannot think for themselves...

so be it.  Afterall, I am just one of those consipracy nutcases that are

so stupid that they cannot think for themselves and believe everything they see, read, hear or presume.

Apparently, our elected officals are not the only ones that are

fair game for any kind of malicious taunting you want to come up with. 

[kshillbillys]

Well said Billy. Very well said. And I want to thank you this Memorial Day for serving your country and giving me the freedom to say what I want and do pretty much what I want. Freedom is never free and I'm glad you came back safe! Thank YOU!--Jennifer

[Diane Amberg]

Billy I never said, implied, or even thought that you are or were stupid. Don't sneak around the back door and call me stupid. I don't like it. We have differences of opinion but "stupid" has nothing to do with it. You have said many times that we are losing our freedoms. I have not lost any freedoms that mean anything to me.  Now I am going to the cemetery to say hello to my friend Dave.
