POST TURTLE

YOU'VE GOT TO LOVE THIS RANCHER'S OUTLOOK & COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO LIFE ......



While suturing up a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old rancher, whose hand had been caught in the gate while working his cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.. Eventually the topic got around to Obama, and his being our president. The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is just a 'Post Turtle.'"Now not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked, "What's a 'Post Turtle?'"

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle." The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he sure as heck ain't goin' anywhere, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there in the first place.

Saturday at CPAC 2010

Conservative Political Action Conference
or
Constitutional Political Action Conference

My take - CPAC should be a place for all conservative voices and ideas to be heard and debated. It is not called RPAC, LPAC or TPAC and all those people complaining about Ron Paul winning the straw pole or those complaining about a little bit of criticism of the Republicans should just be thankful for the huge turn out and the interest that young Americans are taking in the conservative movement. Both political parties need more people involved that understand that the U.S. Constitution was established to limit the power of the federal government and believe it is the answer to our country's challenges. Pocket Constitutions could be found everywhere you looked at CPAC, let's pray our future leaders will use it as their guide.

This link http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/02/cpacs_odd_ending.html is typical of post CPAC chatter that seems to miss the point, however it does a good job of reviewing the conference.

Do these people look like extremist?


All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Victory in Tripoli: Lessons for the War on Terrorism

On the night of February 16, 1803, the Intrepid came alongside the Philadelphia. As enemy guards, suddenly suspicious, raised the alarm, Decatur yelled “Board!” while leaping over the side. His men rushed the ship and overwhelmed the guards with their sabers and tomahawks. Combustibles were placed at key spots around the ship and ignit­ed at Decatur’s command. The fire spread rapidly and uncontrollably.

Over two centuries ago, the United States was dragged into the affairs of the Islamic world by an escalating series of unprovoked attacks on Americans by Muslim pirates, the terrorists of the era. These pirates preyed on unsuspecting trade ships. The hulk­ing merchant vessels of the period were no match for the Muslim pirate ships, which were built for speed and lightning strikes. It was simply a fact of life that— over the centuries—took its toll on countless mer­chant ships and their crews.

Eleven and 22

Eleven and 22 February 1732. Yes, two birthdays! No wonder people are confused! It was so even during Washington's life. The reason for the confusion is that old-style calendar entry of 11 February 1731/32 became obsolete in 1752, when the British corrected their calendar by adding eleven days. This made Washington's birth date under the new style 22 February 1732.


George Washington(February 22, 1732– December 14, 1799) was the leader of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and served as the first President of the United States of America (1789–1797). Washington was awarded the very first Congressional
Gold Medal with the Thanks of Congress.

Washington died in 1799, and the funeral oration delivered by Henry Lee stated that of all Americans, he was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." Washington has been consistently ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.
"Government
is not reason;
it is not eloquent;
it is force.
Like fire,
it is a dangerous
servant and a
fearful master."
George Washington

"The Constitution may be the most important document written in modern history," said Toler. "It is the longest-standing written constitution and the basis for most of the constitutions in the world."
