    What our new health care might look like

    A man rushes his limp dog to the veterinarian. The doctor pronounces the dog dead. The agitated man demands a second opinion.

    The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat. The cat sniffs the body and meows. The vet says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too."

    The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead.

    The vet brings in a black Labrador. The lab sniffs the body and barks. The vet says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead, too."

    The man finally resigns to the diagnosis and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "$650."

    "$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaims the man.

    "Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 is for the cat scan and lab tests."
    You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
    You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
    You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
    You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
    You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
    You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
    You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

    That is just TOO funny!!!

    Duty Honor Integrity
    Peace Through Superior Firepower
    Security Through Strength

    It is the Soldier, not the Poet
    Who has given us the Freedom of Speech

    It is the Soldier, not the Campus Organizer
    That has given us the Freedom to Demonstrate

    It is the Soldier, who salutes the flag,
    who serves beneath the flag,
    and who's coffin is drapped by the flag,
    who allows the protester to burn the flag.
