Harley Biker & the Lion

This is an email I got today from a coworker. It has circulated the net from time to time in recent years but I saw it today and also saw a corollary to the level of debt that "We the people..." have accumulated as a result of the poor caliber of leaders we have collectively elected.

Harley Biker & the Lion


A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.
The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?
The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page;



U.S... MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

That pretty much sums up the liberal news media's approach to the news these days.

Thus ends the email I was forwarded. I nearly deleted it and moved on to the next email in my list 1 of nearly 200 pieces of junk email I get everyday... But that is topic for another day.

That sadly does sum up the situation out there especially when you look at the stuff ABC has been doing with this whole health care reform debate. They have given up on the appearance of impartiality and have become an arm of the White House Press Office. I am not sure what the solution is but I sure see the little girl (US Taxpayers) in this story, however there is not really a "gallant Marine" to save us from the Lion 'Socialist in our Government'.

As I see it before Obama's Socialize Government cronies and their team members in the House and Senate are done with us (and the US); we will have an 18 TRILLION dollar deficit and that is still a modest estimate of the cost of this debacle in conjunction with all the rest of the 'STIMULUS' bills that are going to come due and 'PAST DUE' over the next decade.

This is madness and they are certifiable!
