Random Thoughts for July
2019
By Robert A. Hall
Feel free to post or forward.
There
is a difference between tenacity and being a damn fool. The trick is to know
where the line is.
People who always “live in the day,” have miserable
tomorrows.
A Progressive is
always willing to make the poor suffer a lot if he can make the rich suffer a
little as part of the deal. He calls it “fairness.”
Socialism is the
morality of the hive.
“I never heard
any other reason for the quarrel then slavery.” –Confederate General James
Longstreet speaking of the Civil War.
The progressive plan to deal with overwhelming flood of
illegal immigrants is to use taxes, regulations and socialism to turn American
into a third-world hellhole where no one will want to come.
Quote from a vet at the VA: My old man said, ‘If you blister your ass, you’re the one who
has to sit on it.’
"When we
are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not
hereditary." –Thomas Paine, Common
Sense
We
bought “Picky No More” dog food. They must have tested it on starving strays,
because our mutt isn’t much interested.
If
people could read my thoughts, they’d throw a net over me. Probably applies to
you, too.
Don’t
expect miracles from me. I can’t even make my dog heel.
Some
people think they can slide through on the “Cliff’s Notes” version of life.
"We must be ready
to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of
freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and
display stamina in purpose." ~President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address
It’s scary that someday
our grandkids will look back on these times as “The good old days.”
Facebook
meme: Two plantation owners talking. “It’s okay to enslave blacks. They aren’t
really people.” Two Nazi officers talking. “It’s okay to kill Jews. They aren’t
really people.” Two planned parenthood supporters talking. “It’s okay to kill
unborn babies. They aren’t really people.”
"No people ever lost
their liberties unless they themselves first became corrupt. The people are the
safeguards of their own liberties, and I rely wholly on them to guard
themselves." --Andrew Jackson
Progressives are people
who look down on the people on whose shoulders they stand. -Rev. Alison Bucklin
Bumper Sticker: I break for liberals. Sometimes.
Bringing
a child that you can’t support into this world is child abuse.
I
think there would be a market for funny sympathy cards. “He was a good bloke,
sorry he croaked.” “He was only a pup, but now he’s toes up.”
Rotten egg gas holds key to healthcare therapies
Excerpt:
Scientists in Exeter have already found that the compound protects mitochondria
– the “powerhouse” of cells, which drive energy production in blood vessel
cells. Preventing or reversing mitochondrial damage is a key strategy for
treatments of a variety of conditions such as stroke, heart failure, diabetes
and arthritis, dementia and ageing. Mitochondria determine whether cells live
or die and they regulate inflammation. In the clinic, dysfunctional
mitochondria are strongly linked to disease severity. ... Dr. Mark Wood of
Biosciences, at the University of Exeter, added “Although hydrogen sulfide is
well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence,
it is naturally produced in the body and could in fact be a healthcare hero
with significant implications for future therapies for a variety of diseases.”
(I'm not a public nuisance, I'm a public health service! ~Bob)
I
was out of multi-vitamins, one of the 30 or so pills I have to take every day,
so I went to CVS. There were multi-vitamins for women and for men. None for the
many other genders that progressives say exist. Shameful! Why are there not
mass protests in places like Madison? And while we are at it, what vitamin should
a transsexual take for health? One for the biological body or one for the
identified gender?
In
20 years, kids will go to the zoo to see a Walmart cashier.
The
lottery people are very picky. I was only off by one…
If
your mother didn’t spit on a hanky to wipe smudges off your face, you probably
grew up to be a snowflake.
If
you could call in tired like you can sick, most workplaces would be half empty.
You
may be physically beautiful and still be an ugly person.
If
you are friendly to people, they will usually be friendly. If you are hostile
to people, they will usually be hostile.
If
one door closes…kick in another one!
Self-denial
is the basis of all progress. What you want to see done, you have to get up and
do.
Some people will use and abuse you as
long as you let them. Forgiveness is often a signal to them that it’s okay to
come at you again.
Most people are too busy asking God for
things to thank him for what they have.
