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.” . . .
