Wise words from Jon Voight

The great actor who played in the most recent life
story of Pope John Paul II, Jon Voight, had an
outstanding speech the other night. 





And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity
that the people of the land called America,
having lost their morals, their initiative,
and their will to defend their liberties,
chose as their Supreme Leader that person
known as "The One".

He emerged from the vapors with a message
that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the
people telling them, "I am sent to save
you. My lack of experience, my questionable
ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association
with evildoers are of no consequence. For I
shall save you with Hope and Change.

Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the
land that he who preceded me is evil, that
he has defiled the nation, and that all he
has built must be destroyed." And the people
rejoiced, for even though they knew not what
"The One "would do, he had promised that it
was good; and they believed. And "The One"
said "We live in the greatest country in the
world. Help me change everything about it!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah! Change is
good!"

Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich
fat-cats." And the people said "Sock it to
them!"

"And redistribute their wealth."

And the people said, "Show us the money!"

And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth
is good for everybody"

And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding
me? You're going to steal my money and give
it to the deadbeats??" And "The One" ridiculed
and taunted him, and Joe's personal records
were hacked and publicized.

One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist
policy?" And she was banished from the
kingdom!

Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign
relations experience and having zero military
experience or knowledge, how will you deal
with radical terrorists?"

And "The One" said, "Simple. I shall sit with
them and talk with them and show them how nice
we really are; and they will forget that they
ever wanted to kill us all!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe
at last, and we can beat our weapons into free
cars for the people!"

Then "The One" said, "I shall give 95% of you
lower taxes."

And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't
pay ANY taxes."

So "The One" said, "Then I shall give you some
of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"

And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the
money!"

Then "The One" said, "I shall tax your Capital
Gains when you sell your homes!"

And the people yawned and the slumping housing
market collapsed.

And He said, "I shall mandate employer- funded
health care for EVERY worker and raise the
minimum wage. And I shall give every
person unlimited health care and medicine and
transportation to the clinics."

And the people said, "Give me some of that!"

Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who
ship jobs overseas."

And the people said, "Where's my rebate
check?"

Then "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the
coal industry and electricity rates will
skyrocket!"

And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is
evil, no more coal! But we don't care for
that part about higher electric rates."

So "The One" said, "Not to worry. If your
rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses,
we shall bail you out. Just sign up with
ACORN and your troubles are over!"

Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned
and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty, Social
Security, free education, free lunches, free
medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed
housing..."

And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they
made him King!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing
spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised
their prices and laid off workers. Others
simply gave up and went out of business and
the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from
a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed.
Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of
the people were without a means of support.

Then "The One" said, "I am the "The One" - The
Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall
just print more money so everyone will have
enough!"

But our foreign trading partners said unto Him,
"Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile
of camel dung! You will have to pay more.”

And the people said, "Wait a minute. That is
unfair!!" and the world said, "Neither are
these other idiotic programs you have
embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist
state and second-rate power. Now you shall
play by our rules!"

And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What
have we done?"

But yea verily, it was too late. The people
set upon "The One" and spat upon him and
stoned him, and his name was dung. And the
once mighty nation was no more; and the once
proud people were without sustenance or
shelter or hope. And the Change "The One"
had given them was as like unto a poison that
had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that
consumed all that they had built.

And the people beat their chests in despair
and cried out in anguish, "Give us back our
nation and our pride and our hope!!" But it
was too late, and their homeland was no more.

You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's
not. It's happening RIGHT NOW !!!

"Our democracy will cease to exist when you
take away from those who are willing to work
and give to those who would not."
