Scott Meeker: The world according to Uncle Jed In our view: Will it be enough?
“I have yet to hear any liberal say they are happy with Obama. If they are, I wish they would sit down at the table and lay out all they have received from him as examples. Have they received any money? NO. Are their welfare checks larger? NO. Is Social Security improved so elderly are happy with the money? NO. Are we out of Iraq? NO. Has bin Laden been found? NO. Do all of those countries that his liberal followers claim will love us after he is elected now love us? NO. Is the economy better? NO. Are the auto companies better after he gave them billions of dollars? NO. Is Wall Street better after he gave them billions of dollars? NO. Are we safe from North Korea? NO. Has HE stopped smoking? NO. Can he give a speech without a teleprompter? NO. Are the poor no longer poor? NO. Is health care just a tiny, tiny, tiny bit better? NO. Has he hired anyone for his Cabinet that paid their taxes on time as they should? NO. I can’t figure one good thing he has done. Help me out here people ... there has got to be SOMETHING he has done to make you happy.” —— Voices: Changes at The Bridge “‘WWII Veteran writes: The Bible I believe in doesn’t say anything about skateboarding. This is the same kind of moral leniency that results in zombie cults on Main St. and pagan role-playing in the park.’ — I wonder if you could do a quick lookup in YOUR Bible and see if there is any mention about church ice-cream socials, or vacation Bible school, or church camp, or Christmas plays, or, or, or. Just because it is not mentioned in the Bible does make it pagan or zombieism. The Bridge tries to give a good Christian atmosphere for the kids, so back off.” ——— Voices: Guns to Mexico “Far, far, far more people are murdered by having their brains SUCKED OUT at birth than are killed by guns. I don’t get your point.” ——— Voices: Health care “‘Weapons of health-care destruction writes: Let’s let Uncle Jed and Howard’s insurance companies pick up the tab’ — Why are you slamming ME? I just took the stats as stated above, they are not MY stats. But if you use the stats it would suggest that you have a better chance of dying at the hospital than not having insurance. Why would YOU want people to go to a PLACE OF DEATH? This is not my opinion, just facts. Are you people not happy with anything?” ——— Voices: Change “What? This story cannot be correct. Bush is not the president. Oil prices can only go up because of Bush. Oh, wait ... maybe it had nothing to do with Bush. So now that the price is going up and Obama is in CHARGE, the liberals were all wrong ... once again. Liberals want it both ways and they are idiots.” ———
