So true and so sad that our nation is so blind as to what is taking place.

As the late Adrian Rogers said, "you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

The professor in the story below is truly a genius!

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!
No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

It could not be any simpler than that.

Brown Chicken Brown Cow :)

So yesterday at chick-fil-a if you dressed like a cow you got a free meal.  Our hubby's (Matt and Matt) were supposed to join us, however they whimped out, therefore the ladies (Britney and I) had to go and do the dirty work.  It was awesome, they didn't just give you a sandwich, they gave you a full on meal, fries, drinks and all.  Maddie even got her own kids meal with chocolate milk and some ice cream.  What made it even more hilarious was I had to go over to Britney's house in my cow outfit to go and get her.  There were these thugs out in front of our neighbors house (don't ask me why they were there) and they looked at me like I was the biggest freak. One of them was trying to get everyone to leave and I asked them if they wanted me to go with them.  The guy didn't know what to do with himself.  Maybe that will be there last time coming to our neighborhood hopefully.

Well here I am in all my cow glory.  Maddie kept pulling on my utters.  I think it brought her back to the nursing time of her life; jk of course :)

I was a very naughty cow that needed to be tippped.
Here we are all together.  Britney made the cow outfits for herself and Maddie.  I thought she did an amazing job btw.  There was this old couple in the restaurant as well, who had on the printed version of the costume.  They were so cute.  I still want to do this stuff when I am old.
Aren't we cute?
Maddie contemplating her meal.
My baby cow.  I just love her and hope she appreciates her weird mother when she gets older.
It was such a blast!  Thanks Britney for doing that with me.
