Hi Chris,
Thanks for the Humor on your Blog.
Imagine getting your 15 minutes of fame…Levi Johnston on Sarah Palin on Yahoo…by trashing someone else.
Who would want him for a son-in-law?
Who would be dumb enough to know how to do a part time business that could produce $1,000,000.00$
a year ..and not do it?
Part time is anything less that 168 hours per week.

The extra penny goes to fund those that have not. “Equalization of the classes.”
How clever: those that put 2 in, share with those that don’t put any in and we have to pay yet another penny for our own thoughts.
What tax code does that fall under? We’re used to paying for our food, cable and gas; but paying for our very thoughts, thats ingenious.
No one wonder the TV is so popular, we’re already paying the tax on that and it helps not think so we found a loop-hole around the thought tax. Thank you CNN and Ted Turner. You all are angels. Such civil servants thinking on our behalf.

Chris,
Here are some from my childhood:
There once was an owl, who seldom spoke.
The more he heard, the less he spoke.
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
Now, why can’t we be more like that wise old bird??
(That rhyme was one of my father’s favorites for 5 noisy, unruly children!)
Some days, you get the bear. Some days, the bear gets you.
A closed mind gathers no thought. (A favorite of my father’s father, attributed to his father, a professor.)
Opinions are like feet. Everybody’s got them, and some of them stink up the place pretty badly.
The only thing worse than a unread book is a unused mind. (A favorite of my mother’s.)
Aging is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. Even if you do mind, it still doesn’t matter.

I thought you may want to read this http://www.campaignforliberty.com/article.php?view=135 especially since the man you admire (Reagan) broke the Law so much!
An Interventionist Foreign Policy is illegal(No authority given in the Constitution that allows it), the War On Drugs is illegal(it not only isn’t in the Constitution but it also deprives us of our Life, Liberty and Property!) and Reagan aggressively pursuing those actions while allowing the illegal institution (the Federal Reserve) to print the money to pay for it was immoral. The worse thing about Reagans Presidency is that he spoke against government intrusion yet that’s exactly what he did as soon as he got in power!
It really really bothers me that you and Orrin admire someone who went against the Constitution and what the Founders wanted all while speaking across North America saying that all you want the Government to do is to follow the Constitution and get back to what the Founders had in mind! Please explain how you can say that while at the same time admire someone who blatantly didn’t?
I know I’m being redundant but I feel like I can’t let this go because almost everyone of you and Orrin’s talks say how much you want to get back to what made this Country great in the first place, which is Liberty, yet it seems like you want only your definition of Liberty to me. Locking up over a half a million non violent criminals and going to war with whoever we want is not Liberty no matter what reason we give for doing it!
I really hate text because you can’t see the emotion behind it! I’m saying all this with a heavy heart believing fully well that you and Orrin are called to change this Country but it really scares me that you want Liberty and The Rule Of Law except for the matters that you disagree with(like saying the Fed is illegal but not saying that about the Drug War).
Oh and just FYI I don’t do drugs and I never will even if they were legal. I just see it as an excuse for the government to intrude in our lives for “the greater good” and that is wrong!!

Some Yogi Berra quotes:
You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.
I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early.
If you don’t know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.
You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.

Hi Chris Brady,
Because of you and TEAM I cannot read a fiction book anymore with out thinking ….about the things the TEAM Training imparts to a persons brain.
Such unbridled pleasure.
Here’s a small example of what I mean.
“She looked up again with a somber expression. Them’s the vermin: them who take what little we can earn or make with our hands so as to promise it right back to us, expecting us to be thankful at their kind hearts; them who tempt good people to be lazy so they can rule us like sheep in a trough; them who took our freedom and our ways. Even a foolish old woman like me knows that lazy people don’t think for themselves; they only think about themselves. I don’t know what this world is coming to.”
From a Terry Goodkind book Blood of the Fold in the Sword of Truth series.
It sounds like what is being done to us in the good ole USA by our government.
