THE COW AND THE ICE CREAM

ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS

OF
WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION

--From a teacher in the Nashville area –

"We are worried about 'the cow' when it...
Is all about the 'Ice Cream.'

The most eye-opening
Civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this Year.

The presidential election was heating up...

And some of the children showed an interest.

I decided we would have an election for a class president.

We would choose our nominees.

They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.

To simplify the process...
Candidates were nominated by other class members.

We discussed what kinds of...
Characteristics these students should have.

We got many nominations and from those...
Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.

The class had done a great job in their selections.

Both candidates were good kids.

I thought Jamie might have an advantage...
Because he got lots of parental support.

I had never seen Olivia's mother.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.

Jamie went first.

He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place.

He ended by promising to do his very best.

Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now it was Olivia's turn to speak…

Her speech was concise.

She said…

"If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream."

She sat down.

The class went wild.

"Yes! Yes! We want ice cream."

She surely would say more…

She did not have to.

A discussion followed.

How did she plan to pay for the ice cream?

She wasn't sure.

Would her parents buy it…

Or would the class pay for it.

She didn't know.

The class really didn't care.

All they were thinking about was ice cream.

Jamie was forgotten.

Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth...

He offered ice cream and...

52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds.

They want ice cream...

The other 48 percent know…

They're going to have...
To feed the cow and clean up the mess."

This is the ice cream Obama promised us!

Remember…

The government cannot give anything to anyone…

That…

Which they have not first taken away from someone else.

If we pay attention to the lesson, Obama’s election could be the best thing that ever happened to our sleeping country, for there are many issues that this Country faces, including wanting something for nothing, apathy, and outside as well as internal forces stealing the country that most Americans love. The question now… is do we choose to step up and stand up, each one of us, for the America our Founding Fathers and young American troops have fought and spilled blood for ever since… or do we continue to choose the easy way out… the promise of ice cream for doing nothing as we roll into a total Nanny State… Socialism or worse? I have heard people, who themselves long ago stopped thinking for themselves and stopped standing up for God and Country ask, “Why has God forsaken this Country?” As we all know, “God doesn’t always give us what we ask for… He give us what we need!” Perhaps we needed the wake-up call more than we needed a man who at least seemed like he was a man of the people… another issue for another day!
