Words of wisdom as the elections draw near.

"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." -Mark Twain

"All Democrats are insane, but not one of them knows it; none but the Republicans and Mugwumps know it. All the Republicans are insane, but only the Democrats and Mugwumps can perceive it. The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane." -Mark Twain

"Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please." -Mark Twain

"It takes a thousand men to invent a telegraph, or a steam engine, or a phonograph, or a photograph, or a telephone or any other important thing—and the last man gets the credit and we forget the others." -Mark Twain

"Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered — either by themselves or by others. But for the Civil War, Lincoln and Grant and Sherman and Sheridan would not have been discovered, nor have risen into notice." -Mark Twain

I recently saw the video of the 2nd White House fence jumper, and those pathetic, weenie-dogs the equally pathetic secret service people had on the jumper...

I can tell you with absolute truth and experience, that my 2 GSD`s would have hit that clown high and low so hard, and so fast, that he would have gone flying backward with 2 sets of steel trap jaws splintering any bones they had in their mouths..

He would have been screaming like a baby if he survived that initial assault, to please take these seriously trained missiles off his body...

They need to let the Military take over Security with their disciplined, dedicated, men and women, and their uber-trained GSD`s...

Not these not-so-secret-you-are-so-bad-service-people...

And then you could take my GSD`s off, clean up all his blood off of them, take them inside, and they could sit down and play with the baby just fine...

No substitute for incredible genes, bloodlines, and correct training... Here -- http://kraftwerkk9.com/
