I need something to smile over

A man and his wife, moved back home to West Virginia from Ohio.. The  husband had a wooden leg, and to insure it back in Ohio cost them $2000 per year!  When they arrived in West Virginia, they went to an insurance agency to see how much it would cost to insure his wooden leg. The agent looked it up on the computer and said: $39.00.
The husband was shocked and asked why it was so cheap here in West Virginia to insure it because it cost him $2000 in Ohio!
The insurance agent turned his computer screen to the couple and said,  'Well, here it is on the screen, it says: Any wooden structure, with a  sprinkler system above it, is $39.00..
You just have to know how to describe it!

The default setting of American society is ever more liberal and statist.

Mark Steyn  Quit telling me that America is a center-right nation; that conflicts with every decision I see this body politic make. 2010 notwithstanding.

...."So Washington cannot be saved from itself. For the moment, tend to your state, and county, town and school district, and demonstrate the virtues of responsible self-government at the local level. Americans as a whole have joined the rest of the Western world in voting themselves a lifestyle they are not willing to earn. The longer any course correction is postponed the more convulsive it will be. Alas, on Tuesday, the electorate opted to defer it for another four years. I doubt they’ll get that long."

Papa John’s and the Whiny Weasels of Socialism (Who Want to Boycott Them)

The National Patriot  "Be careful what you vote for…You may just get it and WHEN you get exactly that for which you voted…DON’T START WHINING ABOUT IT!!!
"9 days ago, socialists voted for the Emperor and now, they’re starting to realize the fruits of their labors."
....
"Socialists now want to boycott Papa John’s and Applebees because they are cutting work hours of their employees. They say such a move is…Un-American.
"Really?
"Socialists think something is Un-American???
"Let me explain this in a way that anyone with a working brain cell can understand it."....

...."After the expenses, ingredients, building and real estate costs, insurance, equipment, EMPLOYEES, taxes etc…The typical franchisee had…HAD a profit margin of around 10%.
"Now, because of increased regulations, hikes in the minimum wage, rising insurance costs and the clamping down on business loans, higher costs due to rising gas prices for delivery of goods and delivery of pizzas…Over the last 4 years…The average franchisee NOW has a profit margin of…2%.
"Along comes Obamacare."....

...."There are 21 new taxes in Obamacare and some of those hit companies like Papa John’s and their franchisees.

"NOW…You have the Emperor wanting to HIKE TAXES on those making $250,000.00 and up and THAT will hit Papa John’s small business owners.
"Penalizing success with higher taxes is…UN-American.
"Here’s where Papa John’s is standing tall."....

...."If socialists are going to boycott Papa John’s, they must also boycott all NBC outlets as well."


...."Well…One of those hits HARD at companies that manufacture MEDICAL EQUIPMENT and another, the one that imposes penalties against ANY company employing more than 50 full-timers ALSO comes into effect.

"Stryker is laying off 1,700 employees because they simply can’t afford to do business as usual any longer.
"Are socialists also going to boycott anything made by Stryker?
"If they’re going to boycott papa John’s they should ALSO find a way to do without hospital beds, medical cameras, artificial joints and medical software REGARDLESS of their afflictions or the health afflictions of their loved ones."....

...."Here is just a PARTIAL list of companies for socialists to boycott because THESE companies are laying off workers due to Obamacare, Obama taxes and Obama’s reelection:" The list is here.
....
"The Following is a PARTIAL list of companies that socialists CAN’T boycott because…
THEY ARE CLOSING COMPLETELY due to the reelection of the Emperor:
...."Socialists say this is all in revenge for the Emperor’s reelection.
"REVENGE???
"This isn’t REVENGE…
"This is the RESULT of the SOCIALIST VOTE!!!"

The principle here: Support Papa John's!

Life with the Obama boot on our necks

Denny's to charge 5% 'Obamacare surcharge' and cut employee hours to deal with cost of legislation Other restaurants are considering similar actions. Meanwhile Obama meets with unions and progressive leaders to make economic plans. 
"The program mandates that only employees working more than 30 hours a week are covered under their employers health insurance plan, chains like Olive Garden and Red Lobster are already considering reduced worker hours.
" 'Obviously, I'd love to cover all our employees under that insurance,' said Metz.
" 'But to pay $5,000 per employee would cost us $175,000 per restaurant and unfortunately, most of our restaurants don't make $175,000 a year. I can't afford it.' "

Romney: Obama’s ‘gifts’ to key demographics helped him win

“In each case they were very generous in what they gave to those groups,” Mr. Romney said.

“With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest, was a big gift,” he said. “Free contraceptives were very big with young college-aged women. ....They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008.”

Obama's Presser Affirms His Obsession With Raising Taxes  "In his news conference yesterday, Obama lived up to expectations as a class warfare zealot. He once again demonstrated his pathological obsession with raising taxes on “folks who don’t need it” the evil rich. Of course to Obama “the rich” is any family earning over $250,000 a year.
"What is it with this guy?" And his next question is what If Obama Gets His Tax Increases;

"Let’s just assume for a moment that Barack Obama and the Democrats get their way. They get their tax increases on the filthy, evil, disgusting 2% of taxpayers who “don’t need” that money.

"The question becomes … then what?" Neal Boortz 

Then Boortz makes these guesses: -

A wealth tax. We’ve taxed their income, now let’s tax the tar out of their assets. After all, “they don’t need” those “private jets” or those second homes or those yachts. Oh and those big, fat retirement accounts … we are going to need to get our hands on those as well.
- More increases on higher income earners. We’ve raised them already, what’s a little bit more going to hurt?
- Cap-and-trade taxes. Taxing greenhouse gas emissions will be a great source of income and will punish those evil capitalists who are making their money in industries that we liberals don’t support, like coal and oil!

Do you see anything in Obama's attitude that he will not enact these things with the usual help from the Obamedia ?

Obama's Smug America  "America is not going forward but backwards -- back to the "abortion, amnesty, and acid" of George McGovern's 1970s. Not much has changed since then, except that the radicals who espoused free contraceptives, free love, and drugs now wear expensive suits."  America has become a ship of fools.
