They want us to trust them. They want us to trust them with the future of our country, to place in their hands the futures of our grandchildren. Why should we trust them? They say it is because they are so very smart. So well educated are they, that their brain power alone is enough to demand our humble obedience.

They also demand our respect. Have they earned any?

I will tell you of a man that has earned my respect. Let's call him Lem. Lem is just a hayseed, born and raised on a pig farm in Kansas. Lem's family were poor workin' folks, and Lem began work early in life with hard chores from the time he was a small boy.

Lem has always worked hard, he was born into poverty, so he learned the value of a dollar, the value of character, and the value of doing what is right.

When Lem's wife decided that raisin' kids was too much work for her, and left him with two small children, Lem worked even harder. It never occurred to him to run to the State, to embrace victim hood, and ask for hand outs, or look for others to carry his burden. For Lem to make that jump, he would need years of State Indoctrination in the public schools and higher education systems.

It was difficult being a single parent. Lem worked long and hard hours, yet found time to attend his kids' school functions. There were stretches of time that I saw Lem working every day of the week, long hard hours for months on end. Vacation? What's a vacation?

Food Stamps? It wasn't that Lem was too proud to take food stamps, it just never occurred to him. To a Hayseed like Lem, the thought that someone else should feed his kids is foreign, it stinks.

Lem knew the difference between wants and needs. Something that years of education hasn't produced in Obama. Lem and his kids never did without, however, Lem practiced solid financial principles in his life, and became an achiever, a producer.

Lem couldn't afford nice cars. He bought cars he could afford, from ten bucks to five hundred bucks, a car is just a car. To a Hayseed like Lem, a perdy car is kinda like having a perdy hammer. The notion that other taxpayers should pony up $4500 bucks to help him buy a new car is just silly. Again, poor Lem just doesn't have that Harvard education, where you learn such things.

Lem knows, and Hayseeds know, that it is hard to have folks making fifty bucks an hour building cars, to sell them to folks earning fifteen bucks an hour. It should be the other way around.

Sure Lem had problems like everybody else. He endured a medical emergency which took most of his money, but Lem never considered that his neighbors were somehow responsible for his misfortune. Lem started his own business, with no help from the government, and is finally enjoying some success.

Now that he is successful, of course, who shows up? You know who, Hopey Change and Company, and they have news for Lem and guys like him. They blame Lem for other folks' bad luck. They tell Lem that he doesn't care enough, and that they, the government, have a right to rob Lem's grandkids, and give that money to those "less fortunate". That concept is hard to understand to Lem.

They tell Lem he is too stupid to understand, that he is just a racist. They just want Lem to pay up, and "shut the hell up you redneck hayseed bastard!"

Lem answers by inviting anyone and everyone to work as hard as he did. Lem is enjoying his family and grandchildren, and really does not understand the thinking of the self-proclaimed brainiacs. Nowadays Lem can pretty much go and come as he pleases, the years of determination, guts and obidience to doing what is right, have paid off.

However, to the left, Lem now needs to be punished, silenced and slandered.

We need guys like Lem in Congress. We need more hayseeds and less intellectual inbreds.

We need more pig farmers, mechanics, bricklayers, restaurant owners, nurses, oil field trash, you know, the folks that make America great, to run for office.

The problem is, Lem is not a politician, or a leftist. Hayseeds like Lem will flat tell you the truth. Walk up to Lem and ask, "do you think our government should borrow money from a Communist country, using our grandkids as collateral, and give almost a billion dollars of that money to terrorists like Hamas?"

Lem would probably smack you for asking such a stupid question. You have to be indoctrinated for years under Marxist teaching to beleive such a thing is smart.

We need more Hayseeds in office. All one need do to see proof of this is look at the mess we're in.

Who brought us this mess?

Guys like Lem? I don't think so. Intellectual inbreds, incapable of producing anything but misery, brought us the mess we're in.

If you want logic that works, talk to a hayseed. If you need to trust someone, trust a hayseed.

If you need help from someone, by God, you better hope a hayseed is around. Not to long ago, Lem drove all night, hundreds of miles, to rescue me from a lonely spot after a break down. That's a hayseed for ya.

I am proud to know Lem, he represents America, Obama represents a whining malignancy of underachievers. All brains (they think) and no guts.
