Dad's humor

Hi everybody- had to pass this on (as the proctologist said), it's too clever for words.  cheers B.

Begin forwarded message:


Apparently the American Medical Association has weighed in on Obama's Nationalized Health Care Plan
 
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. T
 
The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
 
The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.
 
Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
 
Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said,"Oh, Grow Up."  
 
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it.
 
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. 
 
The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter.
 
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.
 
The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was gas but the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no. 
 
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington.

With all "due respect"

Another email from dad...

Hi Guys, I had so much fun writing this response that I wanted to share it with you, for what it's worth.  I am responding to an article sent to me by Marty, my progressive friend, stating that people didn't like Obama because of his race.  I got a little carried away and I doubt Marty will read it or certainly not agree with it, but now you know where your Dad/Bruce/Papa stands (if you didn't know already!) cheers, D/B/P

(by the way, bs stands for bullshit which is the term I used)

Marty,  Sorry, I forgot to say "with all due respect" before bs, though it was implied. This article is the typical crap about not liking Obama because of his race.  He was elected because he was seen by the majority of Americans (whites included) as proving that America has progressed beyond race and that he would be able to foster better relationships with all races.  That has proved to be just the opposite, he has become the most divisive President we have ever had.  By appointing Eric Holder, who sees all issues through the "race prism" and having Al Sharpton, the race baiter, as an adviser, they have managed to turn every issue involving black youths into more volatile situations, including Trayvon Martin and Ferguson. 

There are indeed problems with the cops and young black men, but any discussion needs to also include the more serious issues concerning the breakdown of the black family, huge unemployment of black youth, black on black murder and the horrible education system in inner cities.   Sharpton and Holder are focusing only on the cops and they seldom talk about the real problems.  They are using these unfortunate incidents to inflame, not help to resolve.  

This bs article focuses on some disparate issues, all trying to tie in lack of respect to race.  The guy even goes back years to Trump and the birth issue.  By the way, Obama's daughters were indeed bored and looked like typical teenagers, including their dress at the turkey thing.  He shouldn't have had them there anyway.  It's not a f...king "race" issue!  All fathers with daughters go through that stuff.

The problem is that Obama has screwed up the country and it's not because of his race but because of his policies.  Obama-Care was one of the worst things to happen to our health care system, putting the government more in control of our lives and even Schumer sees it as a mistake.  Obama's foreign policy has been a disaster and it gets worse with sending troops back into Iraq.  The national debt is now over $18 Trillion and he never discusses it, only to want to spend more and levy more taxes.  He dislikes and also doesn't understand how the private market works, which provide the jobs and growth in this country.  Regulations for more control are constantly being issued which kill growth and jobs.  He doesn't lead, he only likes to campaign.  When people can't or won't discuss issues, they resort to race, name calling, etc as this guy does. Anyway, I could go on but I know you will not agree so don't want to waste my effort.

Unfortunately, to try and clarify this, is useless if you don't get it yourself.  The gulf between how you see the world is so far different than mine, that no amount of logic or attempts to explain would help.  I've tried to explain the principles of limited government, free markets, free will, personal responsibility and freedom (which is my philosophy) versus central planning and more and more governmental controls with redistribution of wealth as the main purpose (which is apparently your belief) to you before and I'm afraid it's hopeless.  cheers anyway, Libruce

After looking at these pictures, Dad started singing "She's so pretty" from Westside Story.  Like he did when she was a baby.

One of Dad's emails to the family...

Hi Guys, As you may have heard, today is the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, signed in Paris, Nov. 11, 1918 marking the end of WW I.  It was long ago and people tend to forget this horrific tragedy, which killed over 10 million men.

It was supposed to be the "war that ended all wars" but had the opposite effect spawning WW II and countless other wars.  Anyway, I have always thought the poem "In Flanders Fields" expressed the tragedy of it all so I thought I would share it with you.  (I think I have sent it before, but worth repeating).

"In Flanders Fields"

by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

P.S. If you see a veteran selling poppies, please buy one.  (Also Armistice was changed to Veterans Day by Ike).  Regards, Dad/ Bruce
