Exceptional Americans: 50 People You Need to Know by Don Surber. Most readers of this site also read Don’s site so they have read his vignettes on exceptional Americans. This book is a more polished version of those vignettes. Looking forward to reading it. I’m sure many of us wonder where he found these people many whom we have never heard of.

I heard on the radio sumpin’ about a magazine article about Chelsea Clinton that said that she was the closest thing we had in America to a princess. WTF? Princess? Of what? America’s number one crime family? WTF has she done? She got a high paying job with NBC where she bombed in doing an interview. Now she is an officer with the Clinton Foundation which is nothing more than a slush fund and a tax dodge for BJ and Thunder Rodent Thighs. Only 8% of the money it takes in actually goes to any type of charitable works. The rest goes to travel, fundraising, and “other expenses”. It was used by foreign gummints and corporations to pay off Cankles for favors when she was SecState. If it were run by a Republican family the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party would be writing scathing stories about it on a daily basis and it would be on the nightly news constantly. Instead it’s “proof” That BJ and TRT care about others on a global basis.

Meanwhile, there is next to nothing about Barbara Bush who is actually doing good works in Africa. The LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party was more than happy to write about her and her sister when they were caught underage drinking, while ignoring AL Gore III’s drug use and Chelsea’s partying. Barbara founded Global Health Corps

She is the Co-founder and President of a public health-focused non-profit, Global Health Corps.[11] Global Health Corps provides opportunities for young professionals from diverse backgrounds to work on the front lines of the fight for global health equity.[12] In 2009, Global Health Corps won a prestigious Draper Richards Foundation Fellowship.[13] Bush was also chosen as one of the 14 speakers selected from an applicant pool of 1,500 to speak at the TEDx Brooklyn event in December 2010, where she spoke about Global Health Corps.[citation needed]

The LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party should also lover her since she’s for gay marriage as well, but her father and grandfather are RINO’s so it’s not surprising.

Somehow being the CEO of the Global Health Corps sounds better than being associated with the corrupt Clinton Foundation. Maybe Chelsea is considered a princess because all she does is act regal and make a lot of money by doing nothing. And just think, she’s a white trash princess at that. Ain’t America great? I’m sure that’s not what the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party meant when they christened Chelsea an American princess. Meanwhile, a member of an aristocratic American family that actually does some good for the world is ignored. Media bias? Nah!

Update: From my friend Pres.

Our CEO is definitely into narcissism.
Congress is engaged in constitutional vandalism.
Hillary is in a deep rut of sophism.
Kerry is guilty of diplomatic absurdism.

Trump is, of course, the front-runner in egotism.
Jeb Bush is hopelessly enmired in Rinoism.
Some of the GOP candidates seem headed toward anarchism.
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is waving the banner of ignorantism.

I’d like to know what happened to individualism,
and what the hell’s wrong with capitalism,
and why we seem doomed to socialism,
while a lot of people are attracted to atheism.

Seems to me we need a double-shot of pragmatism
to wash away the media’s film of illusionism
that has destroyed the country’s optimism
and given rise to a widespread feeling of pessimism.

And I’m starting to get a sense of fatalism
that we’re about to be infiltrated by Islamism
with its desire for apocalypticism
or that we’re all gonna die from catastrophism.

Could be that our republic is perched on the brink of finalism
and the only thing that makes sense any more is hedonism.

I sure am lucky to have a guy like Ron around so I can post stuff when I’m too lazy to write. Y’all only get to see a fraction of the stuff he sends me. Not that most of it isn’t good, au contraire, most of it is, but if I posted too much of it you wouldn’t want to read what I write.

Ron sent me this.

Maybe not. The Dimocrats would have claimed he was a Republican.

Ron sent me this one. It’s been floating around the intertubes for quite some time. Supposedly it was in a Waco newspaper. Update: According to this link it was written by a man. Thanks to DaveH in comments.

Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”

Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self-esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self-esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

BRAVO!

I’ve been saying for years that I could reduce a large portion of the poverty in this country within two generations. Every woman going on welfare gets a tubal ligation. No ifs, ands, or buts. You have shown that you are incapable of supporting the children you have. Why should you have more for me to support? There was a woman in Macon with fourteen kids and when they had a glitch in the Food Stamp program and she couldn’t get her money she had the nerve to say, “Someone needs to take responsibility for this!” Yep! Find a mirror.

What about the men? I have a plan for them. If you have fathered children that you are incapable of supporting, you get a vasectomy. You are incapable of supporting the children you have fathered. Why should you father more that you won’t be able to support? We have no business subsidizing irresponsibility which is exactly what our social welfare system does. There’s not enough money for Social Security, a system we have paid into, but there is always money for welfare, Food Stamps, and subsidized housing.

This country is going broke. We walked on the moon. Then we decided to return to earth and fight a winless war on poverty. $20 trillion later and we still have poverty, except now our poor live better than the majority of the people on this planet.

AlphaDelta sent me this.

And then he wrote, “And, anyone who calls-out Godwin, can kiss my cantankerous, Scottish ass.”

And of course the Nazi Party was the National Socialist Party. They were not right wing like the liberals progressives rat bastard commies Dimocrats claim. They were fargin’ leftists.

Heironymous sent me this one.

Once upon a time there was a king who wanted to go fishing. He called the
royal weather forecaster and asked about the upcoming weather conditions.

The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the days ahead.
So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey.
Upon seeing the king the farmer said, “Your Majesty, you should return to
the palace at once because in just a short time I expect a huge amount of
rain to fall in this area”.

The king was polite and considerate, he replied: “I hold the palace meteorologist in high
regard. He is an extensively educated and experienced professional. And
besides, I pay him very high wages. He gave me a very different forecast. I
trust him and I will continue on my way.”

A short time later a torrential rain fell from the sky. The king and queen were totally
soaked. Their entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a drenched condition.

Furious, the king returned to the palace and fired the weatherman at once!

Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the prestigious and high paying role of Royal
Forecaster.

The farmer said, “Your Majesty, I do not know anything about forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my donkey’s ears drooping, it means with certainty that it will rain.”

So the king hired the donkey.

And thus began the tradition of hiring asses to work in the government and occupy its highest
and most influential advisory positions.

This explains a lot. Now the gummint has cut back and is only hiring the hole at the back of the donkey.

As regards the weather forecasters, we are expected to believe people who can’t even tell us what the weather will be like for the next three days to tell us what the weather will be like twenty years from now and they are only using data that has been collected for the last one hundred fifty years. And today, we have Obungler announcing rules that will cripple the electric energy industry industry and drive up electricity rates. Who will suffer the most with the rise in rates? Poor people. Why does Obumbler hate poor people? He’s announcing these stringent new regulations because of mythical global warming and once again will demand that we use more renewable energy like bird killing windmills. Why does Oblunder hate birds? Remember, windmills only work when the wind blows so it has to be supplemented by gas fired turbines. Let’s not forget solar which only works when the sun is out. Of course, both wind and solar need to be subsidized since both are more expensive and less efficient than coal, gas, or nuclear. When are the unicorn fart plants gonna come online? These are the people who claim we are anti-science.

I saw this over at Insty, and the following paragraph jumped out at me.

Uber enables someone who would otherwise drive his or her car only for personal use to drive his or her car for paying customers – that is, to drive his or her car in an income-earning (and, hence, wealth-enhancing) manner. Uber enables a consumption good to easily become a capital good for however long the car owner chooses to operate as an Uber driver.

Holy crap! If I weren’t a crip, this could be a way for me to make a little income on the side. Naw! I’m a SRF©. I don’t need the money. Anywhoo, I was way ahead of the curve. Way back in 1966 when I was in ET school at Great Lakes Navy Training Center, I had a similar program on Saturday mornings. On the weekends that I didn’t have the duty, I would drop my wife off at the bank she worked at (before the lazy bitch got fired) on Saturday morning and drive to the gate at the base and offer the dudes at the bus stop a ride to downtown Waukegan for a quarter. It was the same price as the bus but I didn’t make all the stops the bus did. It was like express service and in March, my car was warmer than the bus. I had availed myself of these services by other enterprising sailors when I had to take the bus. I never had a problem getting a carload, which was six if the guys wanted to ride four in the back seat. Three trips would pay for a week’s worth of gas. For those of us old enough to remember, gas was only 25 cents a gallon back then. This took less than two hours of my time on a Saturday morning. Back then, I was poor and $4.50 really helped out.

Never More!

Yannow, there are just some times that you want to tell the SJWs, the liberals progressives rat bastard commies, the racist black people who want to blame white people because of their failures, and the people crying about Cecil the Lion, who are the same people who think it’s OK to kill babies to harvest human organs “for research” to “Kiss My Ass!” To the racist-in-chief in the White House, his racist wife, and her racist mother, “Kiss my Ass!”. To the traitorous Dimocrat Party. To the spineless Republicans. To John Roberts and the liberals on the Supreme Court intent on destroying the Republic. To all of you assholes, “Kiss My ass!” Preach it Ted!
