Generation of Helpless Kids
When a college freshman received a C- on her first test, she
literally had a meltdown in class. Sobbing, she texted her mother who
called back, demanding to talk to the professor immediately (he, of course, declined). Another mother accompanied her child on a job interview, then wondered why he didn't get the job.
A major employer reported that during a job interview, a potential employee told him that she would have his job within 18 months. It didn't even cross her mind that he had worked 20 years to achieve his goal.
Sound crazy?

Sadly,
the stories are all true, says Tim Elmore, founder and president of a
non-profit, Growing Leaders, and author of the "Habitudes®" series of
books, teacher guides, DVD kits and survey courses. "Gen Y (and iY)
kids born between 1984 and 2002 have grown up in an age of instant
gratification. iPhones, iPads, instant messaging and immediate access to
data is at their fingertips," he says. "Their grades in school are
often negotiated by parents rather than earned and they are praised for
accomplishing little. They have hundreds of Facebook and Twitter
'friends,' but often few real connections." READ HERE

CIA Officer Clare M. Lopez Reveals Muslim Brotherhood's Links in US Establishment
WASHINGTON – It’s an explosive charge, one that puts the president’s motives into question.
A former CIA officer bluntly told WND, America has switched sides in the war on terror under President Obama.
Clare Lopez was willing to say what a few members of Congress have confided to WND in private, but declined to say on-the-record.
She said the global war on terror had been an effort to “stay free of Shariah,” or repressive Islamic law, until the Obama administration began siding with such jihadist groups as the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates.
Why the switch?
Lopez explained, when the so-called Arab Spring appeared in late 2010, “It was time to bring down the secular Muslim rulers who did not enforce Islamic law. And America helped.”
And why would Obama want to do that?
As she told WND earlier this month, Lopez believed the Muslim Brotherhood has thoroughly infiltrated the Obama administration and other branches of the federal government.

HUMAN EVOLUTION
Humans
originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic
hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the
summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the
winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the
invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were
the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1. Liberals; and
2. Conservatives.
Once
beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of
agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented
yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to
be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery.
That's how villages were formed.
Some
men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night
while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known
as the Conservative movement.
Other
men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the
conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the
sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the
Liberal movement.
Some
of these liberal men eventually evolved into pseudo-women. The rest
became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements
include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group
hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the
meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful
land animal on earth; the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern
liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white
wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef
well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.
Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher
testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys,
journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals
invented the designated-hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives
drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their
women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks,
construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, pilots,
corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works
productively.
Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals
produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and
decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are
more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals
remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They
crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying
to get more for nothing.
WHAT DO AMERICANS FEAR MOST?
Two magazines, Country Living (95.99% white readership)
and Ebony /Jet (99.99% black readership) did surveys on
"WHAT DO PEOPLE FEAR MOST?”
The results were interesting, to say the least...
Country Living magazine's top three answers were:
1. Nuclear war/terrorist attack in U.S
2. Child/spouse dying
3. Terminal illness
Ebony / Jet magazine's top three answers were:
1. Ghosts
2. Dogs
3. Registered mail

MISSING LOVED ONE
A husband went to the sheriff's department to report that his wife was
missing:
Husband - I've lost my wife. She went shopping yesterday and has not come
home.
Sergeant - What is her height?
Husband - Gee , I really never noticed. Maybe about five feet tall.
Sergeant - Build?
Husband - Not slim, not really fat.
Sergeant - Color of eyes?
Husband - Never noticed.
Sergeant - Color of hair?
Husband - Changes a couple times a year, maybe red.
Sergeant - What was she wearing?
Husband - Could have been a skirt or shorts. I don't remember exactly.
Sergeant - Did she go in a car?
Husband - No, she went in my truck.
Sergeant - What kind of truck was it?
Husband - Brand new Ford F150 with Eco-boost V6 engine, special ordered with
manual transmission, four-wheel drive, tinted windows, custom matching white
cover for the bed, special alloy wheels and off road Michelins. Wife put a
small scratch on the driver's door.
At this point the husband started tearing up and almost cried.
Sergeant - Don't worry, Bubba. We'll find your truck.
