Maine's New Main Man

Another email that I couldn't resist posting. Governor  Le Page is a breathe of fresh air...common sense never sounded so good....read and share. Again I apologize for not knowing how to fix my spacing problem - just arrow down to where the article starts.

Maine's new governor          Meet Maine 's New Governor --- In case you haven't heard about this guy before, his name will stick in your mind!    The new Maine Governor, Paul LePage is making New Jersey 's Chris Christie look timid. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks. Judging by the comments, every time he opens his mouth, his popularity goes up.    He brought down the house at his inauguration when he shook his fist toward the media box and said, "You're on notice! I've inherited a financially troubled State to run. Observe...cover what we do...but don't whine if I don't waste time responding to your every whim just for your amusement."        During his campaign for Governor, he was talking to commercial fishermen who are struggling because of federal fisheries rules. They complained that 0bama brought his family to Bar Harbor and AcadiaNational Park for a long Labor Day holiday and found time to meet with union leaders, but wouldn't talk to the fishermen. LePage replied, "I'd tell him to go to hell and get out of my State." The Lame Stream Media crucified LePage, but he jumped 6 points in the pre-election poll.    The Martin Luther King incident was a political sandbag, which brought him national exposure. The 'lame stream' media crucified him, but word on the street is very positive. The NAACP specifically asked LePage to spend MLK Day visiting black inmates at the Maine State Prison. He told them that he would meet with ALL inmates, regardless of race, if he were to visit the prison. The NAACP balked and then put out a news release claiming falsely that he refused to participate in any MLK events. He read it in the paper for the 1st time the next morning while being driven to an event and went ballistic because none of the reporters had called him for comment before running the NAACP release.    He arrived at that event & said in front of a TV camera, "If they want to play the race card on me they can kiss my ass", and he reminded them that he has an adopted black son from Jamaica and that he attended the local MLK Breakfast every year that he was mayor of Waterville. (He started his morning there on MLK Day.)      He then stated that there's a right way and a wrong way to meet with the Governor, and he put all special interests on notice that press releases, media leaks, and all demonstrations would prove to be the wrong way. He said any other group, which acted like the NAACP could expect to be at the bottom of the Governor's priority list!        He then did the following, and judging from local radio talk show callers, his popularity increased even more: The State employees union complained because he waited until 3 P.M. before closing State offices and facilities and sending non-emergency personnel home during the last blizzard. The prior Governor would often close offices for the day with just a forecast before the first flakes. (Each time the State closes for snow, it costs the taxpayers about $1 million in wages for no work in return.)      LePage was CEO of the Marden's chain of discount family bargain retail stores before election as governor. He noted that State employees getting off work early could still find lots of retail stores open to shop. So, he put the State employees on notice by announcing: "If Marden's is open, Maine is open!"      He told State employees: "We live in Maine in the winter, for heaven's sake, and should know how to drive in it. Otherwise, apply for a State job in Florida !"      Governor LePage symbolizes what America needs; Refreshing politicians who aren't self-serving and who exhibit common sense.    THE LAW IS THE LAW!    I really love this one.    This is one of the better e-mails I have received in a long time! I hope this makes its way around the USA several times over!!!!! HERE IS WHAT Governor LaPage said,    "THE LAW IS THE LAW So "if" the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money, then, so be it.      And "if" that same government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it.    I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen   I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.    I would like to think that those people have the American public's best interests at heart.    BUT, he said, "YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?    Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe Government (Federal, State and Local) and its employees should participate in Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life.    I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day.    I'd like the" US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's just another day.    I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another day.    I'm thinking a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct."    In fact...I think our government should work on Sundays (AFTER ALL, It was initially set aside for worshipping God) because, AFTER ALL, our government says that it should be Just ANOTHER DAY...."   What do you all think???? If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the "minority opinions" and begin, once again, to represent the "majority" of ALL of the American people.    SO BE IT....Please Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep you in our country! 'Amen' and 'Amen'!    If this gets around the country a few times, I believe we all will see a better day!

Scary Stuff

Another email treasure that needs to be seen and read by any one and every one who cares about this great nation of ours.  The end is in sight, I just hope and pray that we don't get there! !

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." "The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to  complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage. "The Obituary follows: Born 1776, Died 2016   Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:   Number of States won by Obama: 19 Romney: 29, Square miles of land won by Obama: 580,000 Romney: 2,427,000, Population of counties won by Obama: 127 million Romney: 143 million, Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by Obama: 13.2, Romney: 2.1.Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Romney won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.   Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low-income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."   Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.   If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years .   If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.   If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize justhow much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

The Emperor Arrives in London

Another excellent email that I received the other day and felt that it needed as much exposure as I was able to give it.

Subject: FW: Fw: The Emperor Arrives In London.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS !!!!!

Do you really think that this is necessary, especially from a country that is going broke?

THE EMPEROR ARRIVES IN LONDON... Notice this is an English Newspaper, not an American one reporting.

If you're not sure what "BIG GOVERNMENT"

implies, look at this:But you have already read

about this in your local newspaper ... Oh no,

you didn't? OK then, you saw it on CNN...

No?... INTERESTING! You and I may never

see health care again the way it used to be,

but "Emperor Obama" took six (6) doctors

with him for a 3 day visit to London - along

with 494 other essential staff. You just gotta love this spread-the-wealth,

hopey-changey thing.

Rest in Peace

 Another  email that I felt should be shared with more people than just my email groups, so I thought that I would put it here.  Have a great day and come visit my shop  for some fun jewelry

An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Brilliant !!

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, Sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
- I Know My Rights
- I Want It Now
- Someone Else Is To Blame
- I'm A Victim
- Pay me for Doing Nothing

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
