Trouble with Liberals......


“The trubble with the dang liberals ain’t so much that they’re ignorant, it’s just that they know so much that ain’t so.”


Now, I’d just like t’point out that I didn’t make up that little bit of philosphy. It’s been credited to Ronald Reagan but Ronnie stole a lot of lines from movie scripts and scriptwriters stole from anyplace they could....I like Will Rogers but he stole a lot from Mark Twain ‘n Ol Sam stole from lots of people. Ol Sam was an ‘eddicated man’ in a relatively un-eddicated era so he didn’t bother with attribution in a ‘hull lot ‘o cases.....Well, it’s a fact of life that writers steal from wherever they can ‘n most of them only admit it when they absolutely have to....theys tell themselves they’re only paraphrasing....
‘Course, there’s a lot of writers who for one reason or another, didn’t copywrite their work....’n whoever gets the copywrite, gets credit whether they created it or not.....’n they call it ‘plagirism’.....‘n it’s a crime, usually with little or no punishment..mostly 'cuz they don't get called on it.....
Now, politicians ain’t above a little plagirism now ‘n then...take our ‘esteemed’ vice President elect Biden who has been guilty of plagirizing the speech of another man who actually stole the gist of it from someone else in the first place......gets confusing, don’t it? That’s why there’s little or no punishment....Well, that 'n the fact that people kind'a expect politicians t'do stuff like that......
John Kennedy, who gets undeserved credit for being one of our ‘greatest’ Presidents...took credit for being the author of a book that he didn’t actually write ‘n the most famous line from one of his speeches, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” was plagirized....(or was it just paraphrased)
First off, lemme say that I’m just so durn tired of the election that I can’t hardly stand to turn on any news show right now on the off chance that sumbody, sumwhere, is still runnin’ for office ‘n I don’t think that I c’n take it.....
‘N in the second place, well heck! There ain’t no such a thing as ‘second place’....’ceptin’ maybe in horse races ‘n that ain’t the same thing at all....”Shoot fire” as my old man used t’say, “horse players die broke but ev’rybody dies.”
‘N in the third place, we got ourselves 535 incompetent Congressmen (women).....sum of who has got t’be part of Obama’s posse which means we got sum new up’n coming crooks.....’n it ain’t just ‘dem Dems, y’know....it’s ‘dem Republican’ts too.....’n ‘dem Independents ‘n Greeners ‘n all the rest of ‘em.....You know who I mean, the Orwellian animals who think they were created just a little more equal than the rest of us......
Do I sound bitter? I sound bitter, don’t I? I don’t mean t’be bitter....It ‘s just that sometimes it’s hard t’find the punchline....
Sabatini said (‘n it was the best line in the ‘hull darn book) in the potboiler, ‘Scaramouche’....”He was born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.”
