For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Father- Son Talk about Islam ... Thx Dr. H!

Funny!!! 


 
Father and Son Talk



  

 A young Arab boy asks his father, "What is that weird hat you are wearing?"

The father said, "Why, it's a 'chechia' because in the desert it protects our heads from the intense heat of the sun."

"And what is this type of clothing that you are wearing?" asked the young man.

"It's a 'djbellah' because in the desert it is very hot and itprotects the body." said the father.

The son asked, "And what about those ugly shoes on your feet?

His father replied, "These are 'babouches", which keep us fromburning our feet from hot sand in the desert."

"So tell me then," added the boy.

"Yes, my son?"

"Why are you living in Dearborn Michigan , and still wearing all this shit?
 

Federal Government's compounded Lies! Thx Judi C!

Both major parties are to blame for you are about to read. Remember non-citizens and illegal aliens who never paid into the system get money from it too.











Before reading the information below, I'd like to share an incident that happened to me a couple of months ago at a Walgreens.  My husband had a new prescription that cost over $200.  I have the Balance Rewards card from Walgreens, which honors prescriptions as well as other purchases.  So, I asked for the Balance Rewards for this prescription to be added to my Rewards account.

The pharmacist said she couldn't because I was paying for it with an entitlement.  I explained that we have never been on any kind of entitlement program.  She stated that Social Security and Medicare are entitlements.  I tried not to come unglued, but told her nicely that my husband and I had earned our Social Security and Medicare with money paid into these accounts each and every payday.  She said she understood, but it was now called an entitlement and I couldn't get the Rewards points.  I could care less about the Rewards points, but was livid that the government now called Social Security (that we paid into all our lives) an entitlement!

To be fair to Walgreens, the pharmacist said that this was a federal law -- that no one on an entitlement can benefit from those payments in any way...getting reward points.  Wow! The government has their hands in everything!  Anyway, now please read the item below...

If  you get any Social  Security at all in any manner, you might want to read.  Did  you know this?

Unfortunately most did not and I am one of those whose Social Security funds are direct deposited to my bank, thus, I never see the checks.  Once again, our beloved congressmen are playing fast and loose with vernacular.  What motive did they have for changing the name of our Social Security?  I'm sure they have a plan and it won't be to our betterment.
  
Here we go.  JUST REALIZED THAT WITH REQUIRED AUTO DEPOSIT, I  NEVER GET TO SEE THE CHECK .... ALERT EVERYONE YOU NOW.  THIS AFFECTS ALL OF US.*
 
*Subject:*    SOCIAL SECURITY  becomes FEDERAL BENEFIT CHECK.  Have you noticed, the Social Security check is now referred to as a "Federal Benefit  Payment"?  I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.  I  am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in  me and I hope it will in you.  Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it... 

The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a Federal Benefit Payment.  This isn't a benefit.  It is earned income!
Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.  It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 Invested in Social Security.

If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% Interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved!  This is your personal investment.

Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per  month.
That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration (Google it - it's a  fact).

And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)!

I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts ....  

Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did.  They took our money and used it elsewhere.  They forgot (Knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.  They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them.  And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed.  And recently, they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.  But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a benefit, as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.  Just because they  borrowed the money,  doesn't mean that our  investments were a charity!

Let's take a stand.  We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare.  Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.  Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going, for the sake of that 92% of our population who  need it.

*Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement  Income.*  99% of people won't  forward this.  Will you?  *You can bet I WILL!*   I THINK WE SHOULD DEMAND THAT THEIR SALARIES AND RETIREMENTS BE CALLED FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENTS.  THIS WOULD BE MORE HONEST THAN WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY.

Winston churchill's politically incorrect view on Islam - 1899 ... Thx Judi C!

Hi...please try to find fault with this Political Incorrect speech made by Winston Churchill over 100-years ago. I believe if he were alive today he would still be sounding the alarm.
 
Snopes is silent on the issue.
 
 
 
 
 
Winston Churchill 1899.

"Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world."
 
This is amazing.  Even more amazing is that this hasn't been published long before now.

CHURCHILL ON ISLAM

Unbelievable, the speech below was written in 1899.  (Check Wikipedia - The River War).

The attached short speech from Winston Churchill, was delivered by him in 1899 when he was a young soldier and journalist.  It probably sets out the current views of many, but expresses in the wonderful Churchillian turn of phrase and use of the English language, of which he was a past master.  Sir Winston Churchill was, without doubt, one of the greatest men of the late 19th and 20th centuries.

He was a brave young soldier, a brilliant journalist, an extraordinary politician and statesman, a great war leader and British Prime Minister, to whom the Western world must be forever in his debt.  He was a prophet in his own time.  He died on 24th January 1965, at the grand old age of 90 and, after a lifetime of service to his country, was accorded a State funeral.

HERE IS THE SPEECH:

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!  Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity.  The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.  No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.  Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.  It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."


Sir Winston Churchill; (Source: The River War, first edition, Vol II, pages 248-250 London).


Churchill saw it coming.

barack! Oh promise me ... NOT! ... Thx Ramey H!
