Baptist Cowboy

A cowboy, who is visiting Wyoming from Texas , walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.

The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, 'You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.'

The cowboy replies, 'Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona , the other is in Colorado . When we all left our home in Texas , we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself.'

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.

The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.

One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, 'I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.'

The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs.

'Oh, no, everybody's just fine, ' he explains, 'It's jus t that my wife and I joined the Baptist Churchand I had to quit drinking.'

'Hasn't affected my brothers though.

Thanks Carol and Clay vice!

HOW IS NORMA?......this is hilarious!

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph 's Hospital. She timidly asked,
'Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a pat ient is
doing?'

The operator said, 'I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room
number?'

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, 'Norma Findlay Room 302.'

The operator replied, 'Let me place you on hold while I check with her
nurse. After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said,
'Oh, I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very
well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as
normal, and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged
on Tuesday.'

The grandmother said, 'Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried!
God bless you for the good news.'

The operator replied, 'You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?'

The grandmother said, 'No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me shit.'

True Story.

Subject: I will NOT unite behind Big O




AS I PASS THIS ON TO MANY IN MY ADDRESS BOOK, I AM AWARE OF THE FACT THAT
SOME DAY I MAY NOT AS I PASS THIS ON TO MANY IN MY ADDRESS BOK, I AM AWARE
OF THE FACT THAT SOMEDAY I MAY NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO SO. VERY SCARY
THOUGHT. And if you are watching what is going all around you, then you
know what I mean. If this email doesn't make any sense to you, then you are
in deep trouble. This would mean you are not aware of what is going on all
around you.

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans,
called upon America to unite behind Obama.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting
behind Obama! I didn't unite behind Obama! I will respect the Office which
he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and word smith
and pray for him, BUT that is it.

I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that He is a one-term
President!

Why am I doing this? Because


It is because I do not share Obama's vision or Value system for America ;


I do not share his Abortion beliefs;


I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;


I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+
(the ceiling has been changed three times since August);


I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;


I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation; (THIS JUST
SHOWS HE CERTAINLY ISN'T UP ON HIS AMERICAN HISTORY!)


I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;


I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than American
Citizens who need help;


I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;


I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our
enemy who should give up any land; (GIMME A BREAK!)


I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);



I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in
America ;


I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and certainly do not
share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.

Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a
higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right!

For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous
entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for
their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his
spiritual beliefs!

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their
philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal
beliefs for the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed my America
as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they have mocked
and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of
our Country!

They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ from
our Society!

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the
most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked one of the
most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech! And, they
forgot what this country was built on... Christian principles! They fail to
realize when they took "God out of everything" this country went on a
downhill spiral fast and still is!

Unite behind Obama? Never!

I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the
Embodiment of Evil!

PRESIDENT BUSH

Made mistakes during his Presidency, (EVERY PRESIDENT DOES) however; I
believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established
Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!

Majority rules in America, and I will honor the concept; however, I will
fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and "his
goals for America " Because I am

I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will
destroy our Country!! Any more compromise is more defeat!


I pray that now Obama is President and has shown his true colors, everyone
concerned will wake up the many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed
the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has
been good in America!

gone under."- Ronald Reagan

GOD BLESS AMERICA , AND AMERICA , BLESS GOD!

Pass this on if you agree.

Thanks!

If you agree with this I strongly suggest you pass this on. If we wait and
let everyone else do it, this message may end here and we will fall prey to
the inevitable which is very close. We are about to loose the freedom we
have cherished for so long unless YOU AND I.... WAKE UP NOW!
