Great quote

**Exbiker** · February 20th, 2009, 05:51 AM

quote from the late Dr. Adrian Rogers....

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Aw come on, you mean you don't want to be part of a neo-socialist utopia? I want my free shit.

I think some of the founding fathers had it wrong. All men are not created equal. Of course, they meant in the eyes of God, but still. Some of us are born with more talent and brains than others. Some of us have no problem working hard for an honest buck. Some of us are actually responsible enough to buy houses and cars that we can actually afford. We need to be honest and point out the fact that all men are not created equal.

You mean you aren't having fun? Just drink the kool-aid and everything will be fine.

I feel like one of the orchestra players on the Titanic, playing the last few tunes before the ship went down.

That is a really good quote, pretty well says it all.

It has been the local joke that once Obama got in office, people were just going to quit their jobs and enjoy the good life because they can get taken care of just as well if they are out of work. Unfortunately they have begun to lose their jobs instead, but nobody has taken over their mortgage and car paymenst?! So much for their extra $13 a week...

and ditto on the sinking ship

I thought the mortgage help was next? Isn't now the time when those who new they couldn't afford that extravagant new house gets to keep it at our expense?
