LITTLE GIRL & AN ATHEIST.
An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane
and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker
if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there
is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled
smugly.
"Okay," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let
me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the
same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow
turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you
suppose that is?"
The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's
intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea." To
which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to
discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don't know
shit?"
And then she went back to reading her book.

Lots of questions and no answers is the theme of the Obama Administration.

With these kinds of numbers I ask again, why are we importing and paying nearly $4 a gallon?

Freedom of the Press
What is Freedom of the Press?
In Lovell v. Griffin (1938), Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes wrote for a unanimous Supreme Court: “The liberty of the press is not confined to newspapers and periodicals. It necessarily embraces pamphlets and leaflets. These indeed have been historic weapons in the defense of liberty, as the pamphlets of Thomas Paine and others in our own history abundantly attest. The press in its connotation comprehends every sort of publication which affords a vehicle of information and opinion.” . . .
