Is it time to stand up ?

Yes! Yes it is...and here is a great analogy....

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and

was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and

the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the

truth and she indicated so to her father.

He responded by asking how she was doing

in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was

taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even

have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?" She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on

campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over."

Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that

would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA." The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back,

"That wouldn't be fair! I have

worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!"

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, " Welcome to the

Republican party."

Yes, but say more than that while you are standing up! If people don't stand up we will not be a free country for long.

It is time but seeing how as a nation we were stupid enough to give one party control of both the congress and the Presidency there is nothing that can be done until 2010 at the earliest.

That time was BEFORE the last election. Now it a fight to keep what's ours until the next election when we get the opportunity to vote the bums out!

I am sure many of his supporters are wondering why he is not paying their mortgage and car payment. I am also sure he and they expect the taxpayers to do it for them.

So you had no problems paying high taxes and building up debt for the last several decades, but now you care about the government staying out of your wallet that a black Democrat is in office? Not very consistent or principled if you ask me. Unless you make over $250,000, your wallet will not be suffering anyway.

No Obummers going to save the world...by inflation ... and taxation I cannot wait for these obama loving turds posts in the next two years It will be a gas.....as all their hot air will be released.

as you can see, obama supporters have no principle. it's obvious they lied about hope and change. those who really believed in obama are the ones' to admit he lied. the rest of these hypocrites are just defending obama because, like I said, have no principle. no different than those who continue to defend bush with a blind eye.

We have been.

You should attend a Tea Party.

The children are already saying get your hand out of my pocket Obama.
