A Republican, in a wheelchair, entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Republican looked across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus sitting over there?"
The waitress nodded "yes," so the Republican requested that she give Jesus a cup of coffee, on him.
The next patron to come in was a Libertarian, with a hunched back. He shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, "Is that Jesus, over there?"
The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her to give Jesus a cup of hot tea, "My treat."
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Democrat on crutches. He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, "Hey there honey! How's about gettin' me a cold mug of Miller Light?" He too looked across the restaurant and asked, "Isn't that God's boy over there?
The waitress nodded, so the Democrat directed her to give Jesus a cold beer. "On my bill," he said loudly.
As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Republican, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Republican felt the strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the door.
Jesus passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, "For your kindness, you are healed." The Libertarian felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands, praised the Lord, and did a series of back flips out the door.
Then, Jesus walked towards the Democrat, just smiling.
The Democrat jumped up and yelled, "Don't touch me ... I'm collecting disability."

Why are liberals so upset?
Why are liberals so upset that some people did not want their children exposed to the Obama speech on Tuesday? Some just can’t deal with the rejection of their anointed one. After all, he’s so intelligent (they keep reminding us). As if his IQ will somehow make up for any other short comings.
Liberals fail to understand that parents don’t owe anyone an explanation for protecting their children from something they view as potentially harmful. As a concerned father of five, I try to err on the side of caution when it comes to my children. I don’t have to justify myself to any man for looking out for my kids.
And no, Mr. Lowery and Ms. Watson, it’s not about the color of Barack’s skin. It’s about the color of his ideas. He is a statist. Statism is defined as the principle or policy of concentrating extensive economic, political, and related controls in the state at the cost of individual liberty. We also learned from the Joe the plumber episode that Obama believes in wealth redistribution. He believes in expanding BIG government. I reject those ideas and so does most of America.
I know this may come as a surprise to some, but most of America is NOT racist. Want some proof? How about the fact that Barack Obama is President of the United States? Even though 96 percent of black voters voted for Obama, that only accounted for 13 percent of the electorate. So there must have been a bunch of white people voting to get the guy elected. And how come there where no major news stories questioning the influence of race in the 96 percent of black voters that voted Obama? Hmmmm.
Most Americans are not racist and we’re really tired of the accusation. We reject racism, but not because of the morality issue. I’m sure that comes into play, but it’s secondary to the fact that racism is just plain stupid. Most of us were taught as children not to judge a book by its cover. Believing that one skin is superior to another is like walking into a library and making your selections based on whether you like the cover or not, with no regard to the content. That would be foolish.
In the words of King, “they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” That’s all I’ve done. I’ve judged the content of the book called Obama and I don’t want my children reading it.
