    Conundrum

    Conundrum...............

    "A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one. You'll probably never need one again."
    The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.

    Here are six Conundrums of Socialism in the United States of America :

    1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

    2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

    3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

    4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

    5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other Countries only dream about.

    6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about, yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

    Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.

    Makes you wonder who is doing the math. By the way....................

    1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
    Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering...

    2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money, but we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.

    Think about it..... Am I the only one missing something?
    If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.

    Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.

    Unfortunately the greatest experiment, America has seen its best days. There are approximately 300 trillion reasons why we are doomed as a nation but that doesn't mean doom for every individual. Our government is filled at every level with the very evils we allegedly sacrafice our sons and daughters for on foreign soil and how do you eradicate that cancer? All civilizations die but we ain't making 300 years. My biggest "conundrum" lately is more 308 or 223. Still going to fully enjoy my ride back to Commiefornia with my son Saturday.

    Hence the biggest conundrum. Why do Americans perpetually vote these "assholes" back into office?

    My Republican Rep was one of twenty-three Republicans who voted against Hartzler's amendment to defund transgender sex change funding in the military. $2.3 BILLION to whack dicks off. We are doing Al Queda's work for them.

    I emailed Reichert and said I'm voting for his primary opponent and abstaining voting for him if he makes the general election.
