Train up a child in the way he should go...

...And when he is old he will not depart from it (Prov 22:6)

          A good and easy lesson..sent to me by e-mail.

 
A $50 Lesson -

I recently asked my friends' little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President someday. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?'
         
She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'
           
Her parents beamed with pride.
         
'Wow... what a worthy goal,' I told her. 'But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my walk, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.'
         
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ' Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?'
         
I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'
         
Her parents still aren't speaking to me.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free." ~Ronald Reagan

I hope she remembers your lesson, considering she has a couple of dim wits for parents.

  Bilmac;
  Though I would like toi claim it..I can't . It was sent to me but I thought it was sure worthy of passing on. It is a simple story that easily represents how most all logical people think..comical and easy to remember when confronted by "liberal logic" (an oxymoron, of course).

  I changed the original post to explain..
