What Would Jed Say ?

Uncle Bob was in his hottub the other day when an epiphany came to him thinking about this great Country, where we are, where we came from, and where we are headed. A mere 30 years ago, Uncle Jed, Clampett that is, was a real man. And today, he'd be the target of the Obama Administration.

Look at this from Uncle Bob's goggles.

Thirty years ago, Jed was a poor mountaineer. By all accounts of the day, barely kept his family fed. Yet he'd head to the hill's, totting his rifle looking for a tasty varmint for Granny to fricassee. Doing what had to be done to take care of his family. Jed wasn't waiting for meals on wheels or any other damn government program. In fact, what with Granny's still, the government was looked upon suspiciously (as they should). Then one day, while shootin at some food, up from the ground come a bubbling crude. For your liberal greenies, that's oil. Black gold. Texas tea.

Well, the next thing you knew, Ole Jed was a millionaire. You see, Jed had the mineral rights to the ground he was hunting on. Jed and his new wealth moved his family out of the conditions they were in and moved to Cali-forn-i-a (as Arnold would say). Jed's wealth pumped new tax revenue into the economy, property values increased, development and investment in the local economy skyrocketed.

But today, in Barry's America....


Well, ole Jed would have been on the dole for some time. Gettin paid to stay home, not look for work. Jed would be told how evil business' were and how they had put him in this position. And who supports business? Republicans.

Going out w/that gun??? I don't think so Jed. Not after an expensive permit, training course, and 5 day waiting period. And once Jed had secured the anti-gun lobby's permission, watch out for the environmentalist wako's. See that crude Jed found had to have covered a yellow-bellied sapsucker or two. Tsk tsk.

So, no hope, no gun, no crude, no tax revenue, no expansion.

I haven't even mentioned Jed's mode of transportation. Algore is still calculating the Clampett's carbon foot print.

What Would Jed Say.....PIT-T-FULL.

What Would Uncle Bob Say....we need to get back to the old days when Jed Clampett was a hero and not a villain.
