Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee shares his feelings on Israel with Shalom TV

Mike Huckabee gets it.

I wish all people could understand how important it is to support Israel not only for their safety but ours as well.

The Bible says if you bless Israel you will be blessed and if you curse Israel you will be cursed.

Our Country is Broke - How You Can Fix It

I just saw a poem (see below) on a blog http://lauralovesart.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/the-tax-poem/ - goes great with the above video:

The Tax Poem I didn’t write this. I don’t know who did. It was shared with me in an email by my friend Leo Martinez. Most people don’t stop to think about all the taxes we pay. I know I didn’t.

*THE TAX POEM*

Tax his land,

Tax his bed,

Tax the table

At which he’s fed.

Tax his tractor,

Tax his mule,

Teach him taxes

Are the rule.

Tax his work,

Tax his pay,

He works for peanuts

Anyway!

Tax his cow,

Tax his goat,

Tax his pants,

Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,

Tax his shirt,

Tax his work,

Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,

Tax his drink,

Tax him if he

Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,

Tax his beers,

If he cries

Tax his tears.

Tax his car,

Tax his gas,

Find other ways

To tax his ass.

Tax all he has

Then let him know

That you won’t be done

Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;

Then tax him some more,

Tax him till

He’s good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,

Tax his grave,

Tax the sod in

Which he’s laid.

Put these words

Upon his tomb,

‘Taxes drove me

to my doom…’

When he’s gone,

Do not relax,

Its time to apply

The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the hell happened? Can you say politicians?
