She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch
conservative,  a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had
participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt
that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he
thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher
taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs.

The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be
the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how
she as doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA,
and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking
a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left
her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even
have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends
because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey
doing?”

She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy
classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so
popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the
parties and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s
too hung over.”

Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s
office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who
only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that
would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily
fired back, “That’s a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I’ve worked
really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work!
Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I
worked my tail off!”

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the
conservative side of the fence.”

If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a
great test!

If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for
everyone.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his
situation.
A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches
channels.
Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about
shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

The liberals are asking us to give Obama time.

We agree…and think 25 to life would be appropriate.

Irena Sendler died..At the age of 98 May 12th 2008 in Warsaw poland

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a
Plumbing/Sewer specialist.
She had an ‘ulterior motive’.
She KNEW what the Nazi’s plans were for the Jews (being German).
Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried
and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger
kids).
She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi
soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.
The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the
barking covered the kids/infants noises.
During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500
kids/infants.
She was caught, and the Nazi’s broke both her legs, arms and beat her
severely.
Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and
kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.
After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived
it and reunited the family.
Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster
family homes or adopted.
In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize.  She was not selected.
Al Gore won — for a slide show on Global Warming.
Later another politician, Barack Hussein Obama, won for his work as a community
organizer for ACORN.

In MEMORIAM – 65 YEARS LATER .

Have you had  clothes dryer problems? Dryer not doing the job it once did? Or perhaps you have had to pay a service tech to repair your dryer and or had to replace your dryer. This is a useful tip to help

Remove the lint filter and run it under hot water. Did it puddle up on top or did the water go thru? Dryer sheets create a film over the mesh and that’s what burns out the heating unit.

You can’t SEE the film, but it’s there.  It’s what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free…that nice fragrance too.  You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box…well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen.  This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down! 

Even if the lint filter allows ‘some’ water to pass thru, the unit was designed to have full flow. Cleaning the lint filter with hot soapy water and a old tooth brush will lower your electric bill  and prolong the life of your dryer.

Try it and see what you think.
