Could Washington Cross the Delaware Today?
Not likely in today’s political morass. In fact, I doubt he’d be able to do anything that helped make us the great nation we are today. Why? Because we’ve become hamstrung by lawyers, corrupt politicians and commie organizations like the ACLU and, without realizing it, we’ve become a nation of veal calves. We’re too fat and lazy to do the dirty work, make the tough decisions, carry the heavy loads. We’d rather let politicians, our so called “elected officials,” do it for us. After all, isn’t that why we elected them?
No, it isn’t, but I won’t get into that now. I just wanted readers to see this political cartoon that’s been sitting on my desktop for so long I’ve forgotten who sent it to me (sorry.)
Why can’t we fix the mess that plagues our republic today? Because every boat has at least one of these guys sitting in the back and saying we “can’t do that.” Not rowing, mind you, just getting in the way of real patriots who want to roll up their sleeves and fix the problems.
Know what I say? Throw the bums out of the boat!

I couldn't have said it better. Politicians are driven solely by what will get them elected/re-elected and by a desire, at least for many of them, to experiment with socialism and create a society dependent on government. The ACLU is driven by a desire to chip apart the foundation of democracy in this country. And the rest of us fiddle while our way of life burns.

Are we a little grumpy today?
All joking aside, lawyers are ruining the country. It is no laughing matter. They run the Senate, the courts, much of state government and have the tables rigged so that we can't do anything anymore without having to consult one. I know the founding fathers are cringing at what the country has become.
Funny. But I hope we get ourselves straightened out before we self destruct.
