Wisdom from Holland.

[ChipBeck]

Gentlemen,

One of our friends from the land of windmills sends the following correspondence. In a few brief sentences he pretty much says it all.
:thumbsup

"We in Holland cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election.

On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a beautiful blond multimillionaire with a great figure who owns a beer distributorship.

Is there a contest here? "

Is there a contest here? "

Uhhhhhh...unfortunately, "yes"...there is. 'Cause, ya see, here in America we have these things called "liberals". And they have a r-e-a-l-l-y tough time making obvious, clearcut, common sense choices of ANY kind due in no small part to the fact they prefer to see things as they WANT TO SEE 'EM and not as they actually ARE. This of course is further complicated by the fact that any decisions they DO make MUST be run thru a "P.C. filter" before they're actually implemented to make sure no one anywhere - especially in foreign countries - will be "offended" by said decisions. If this filter detects a non "P.C." element in same - the decision is scrapped and the issue the decision delt with is then handed over to a bi-partisan COMMITTE for the purpose of reevaluating the options...and is never heard of again.

Over the years, their prime philosophy that gov't should do nothing but encourage and provide domestic "gimme, gimme programs" at taxpayer's expense - AND put our heads in the sand militarially and diplomatically if we are challenged or attacked in any way, shape, or form - has appealed to more and more people here in the U.S. because, for some reason, these people have mutated into citizens who would rather depend on government handouts than work hard and earn things for themselves on the one hand, AND have also lost their backbones on the other. The result being THEIR numbers now closely match the numbers of "the regular folks". And THIS explains why this presidential race is actually a real "contest" where there never would have BEEN one in times past.

So, ya. There's a "contest". 'SHOULDN'T BE. But, there is...

I do hope the above sheds some light on this situation for you folks abroad?
