Prince Obama

This quote was translated into English of an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010 .



“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama Presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their President." "The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. " The Republic can survive a Barack Obama who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President.”



I know not if this was actually extracted from a Czech newspaper. I do know that whoever wrote it has my complete agreement. The more of the ilk of Obama and his crowd of Liberals that we, citizens of America, vote into office, the dimmer the future of our Great Nation.

II am an American (Liberal worst nightmare) Pretty good!







I'd shake this man's hand any day of the week...!!







I Am the Democratic Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare.

I am an White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker.

I am a Master leatherworker. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a living.









I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others.

I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and drive American-made cars, and I believe in American products and buy them whenever I can.



I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal governmental functionary, Democratic or Republican, that wants to share it with others who don't work!



I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!



I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer; it makes you a smart American.



I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it!



I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English. I believe there should be no other language option.



I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.





My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.



I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.



I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.



I've never owned a slave, nor was a slave. I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!



I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country!



This is AMERICA ...We like it the way it is and more so the way it was ...so stop trying to change it to look like Russia or China, or other socialist country!



If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you. (And take Barack Hussein Obama and his group with you.) Massachusetts started the ball rolling. Keep it going.





I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the White House, the seat of our biggest problems.



I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution.



Can I get an AMEN on that one?











I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are, but not just because you happen to ride a bike.



And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license.



I think it's good.... And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money..



I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.



I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause.... Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!



I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents....



I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.



I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !



If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.



If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know....



We want our country back!

I would like to thank you for your service in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Your dedication is immensely important to the people of the United States. The fact that you gave your life in order for us to have a better life means a lot to me and the people that knew you. You are from Ohio, where I am also from. You then moved to Portsmouth where most of my family grew up, and have connections to your relatives and friends. The medals you earned represent what a great leader you were. None of us will forget your bravery, dedication, and what you sacrificed during the Vietnam War. May you rest in peace.

I wrote this for an assingment for language arts class. We were supposed to write a thank you letter to a soldier that served in the Vietnam War. To make it more personal, we were to ask family members if they knew anyone who served. I then asked you guys and you found information about Major Roger Allan Quinn. My whole grade wrote a letter, and when we visited the Vietnam War memorial, we placed the letters under the panel in which our solider was listed.



Thank you for all the information!

Thanks John Massey! a conniving liar

The Obamas – “Imposter Lawyers”



Not Only A Liar, He Is A Conniving Liar.



NO WONDER ALL HIS SCHOOL RECORDS ARE OFF LIMITS.

SOONER OR LATER THE FACTS WILL TRIP HIM UP AND THE SHAM WILL UNRAVEL.





I can corroborate Obama's teaching career at Chicago being a sham. I spent some time with the highest tenured faculty member at Chicago Law a few months back, and he did not have many nice things to say about "Barry." Obama applied for a position as an adjunct and wasn’t even considered. A few weeks later the law school got a phone call from the Board of Trustees telling them to find him an office, put him on the pay roll, and give him a class to teach. The Board told him he didn’t have to be a member of the faculty, but they needed to give him a temporary position. He was never a professor and was hardly an adjunct. The other professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings, and it was clear that the position was nothing more than a political stepping stool. According to my professor friend, he had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. He also doubted whether he was legitimately an editor on the Harvard Law Review, because if he was, he would be the first and only editor of an Ivy League law review to never be published while in school (Publication is a requirement).



INTERESTING....MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND



Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and U.S President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During State Of The Union (SOTU) Address. Consider this:



1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer"! He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges that he lied on his bar application. NOTE: Click on "lawyer" to see the actual documents.



2. Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993.



3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law. Facts Source: http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/



4. A senior lecturer is one thing. A fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago.



5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school, but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.



6. "He did not hold the title of professor of law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law.

Source: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html



7. The former Constitutional senior lecturer cited the U.S Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.



8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/



9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal.



10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.



11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech???

When you are a phony, it's hard to keep facts straight.



Pres. Barack Obama - Editor of the Harvard Law Review- Has No Law License???

May 15, 2009 by Johnny Alamo.



I saw a note slide across the #TCOT feed on Twitter last night that mentioned Michelle Obama had no law license. This struck me as odd, since (a) she went to school to be a lawyer, and (b) she just recently held a position with the University of Chicago Hospitals as legal counsel - and that's a pretty hard job to qualify for without a law license.



But, being a licensed professional myself, I knew that every state not only requires licensure, they make it possible to check online the status of any licensed professional. So I did, and here's the results from the ARDC Website: BLOCKED!



She "voluntarily surrendered" her license in 1993. Let me explain what that means. A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" And forget to renew your license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've been accused of something, and you 'voluntarily surrender" your license five seconds before the state suspends you.



Here's an illustration: I'm a nurse. At various times in my 28 years of nursing, I've done other things when I got burned out; most notably a few years as a limousine driver; even an Amway salesman at one point. I always, always renewed my nursing license - simply because it's easier to send the state $49.00 a month than to pay the $200, take a test, wait six weeks, etc., etc.



I've worked (recently) in a Nursing Home where there was an 88 year old lawyer and a 95 year old physician. Both of them still had current licensures as well. They would never DREAM of letting their licenses lapse.



I happen to know there is currently in the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City Indiana an inmate who is a licensed physician, convicted of murder when he chased the two burglars who entered his home and terrorized his family into the street and killed them. (And I can't say I blame him for that, either.) This physician still has an active medical license and still sees patients, writes prescriptions, etc. all from inside the prison. And he renews his medical license every two years, too.



I tried looking up why she would "Voluntarily surrender" her license, but Illinois does not have its 1993 records online. But when I searched for "Obama", I found this:



"Voluntarily retired" - what does that mean? Bill Clinton hung onto his law license until he was convicted of making a false statement in the Lewinsky case and had to "Voluntarily Surrender" his license too. This is the former editor of the Harvard Law Review who doesn't seem to give a crap about his law license.



Something else odd; while the Search feature brings up the names, any searches for the Disciplinary actions ends quickly. As in, Too Quickly. Less than a half-second quickly on a Search Engine that can take five seconds to Search for anything. As in, "there's a block on that information" kind of thing. So we have the first Lawyer President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law.



There's more to this story, I'm sure. I'll let you know when I find it.

Freedom's Descent

Freedom’s Descent





There was a “city on the hill”

Clean air and freedom excelled

Some wanted it down

Back to where they dwelled



To descend from that wonderful place

On the lee side of the hill

Left us of God’s great grace

Too weak for our will



We left it and let others in

And our own ‘members’ went for the win

But tumbling we have come

And will soon reach the foot of the hill





Islam’s great impact on America Came

With a few of our planes and dupes

Who minded their masters set upon

The movement of non-thinking groups



Freedom is their enemy and

Worth taking down from the hill

Our minds and souls will be theirs

We have swallowed the pill



Antidotes are sorely needed

To climb back to the summit

Pre “Big One” we took it

Sucked it up and We won it.



Isolation be daunted

We need strength for the climb

Hitler and Tojo found us willing

This generation must mime





The clean air above us-

Worth all the efforts and sweats

Charge back up the hill

Feel free again- Let’s!



God has blessed this hill and its

Peoples though centuries past

Let us fight again patriots

To make “free on earth” last

Subject: Fw: From friends in Houston



























For what it's worth, Snopes says this is correctly attributed.









Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament.



In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: Who lost Europe ?'



Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons, New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .



Dear friends,



Thank you very much for inviting me.



I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.



First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .



The Europe you know is changing.



You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.



All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. There are mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.



There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.



Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.



In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.



Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.



In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.



In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.



Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel . I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.





A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe . San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.



Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.



The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .



Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers', because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.



Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.



The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.



Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.



Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel . First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.



This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.



The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.





Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem .



Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.



We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.





Please take the time to read and understand what is written here. Please send it to every free person that you know, it is so very important.

Thanks Clay Vice! Yuppie and cows

HEY GUYS, THIS IS A OLD ONE BUT IT IS A VERY GOOD ONE, AND WORTH READING ONE MORE TIME.


CLAY











A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?



Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"



The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.



The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg,Germany.

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves"



"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.



He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.



Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"



The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"



"You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says Bud.



"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?

"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I all ready knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog.

From: Clay Vice

MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE MISSING WORDS?



THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM AN APPALLED OBSERVER:



Today I went to visit the new World War II Memorial in Washington , DC . I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I'm a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, Veterans of 'the greatest war,' with their families. It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.



On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor:



'Yesterday, December 7, 1941--a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.'



One elderly woman read the words aloud:



'With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.'



But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. 'Wait a minute,' she said, 'they left out the end of the quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended the message with 'so help us God.'



Her husband said, 'You are probably right. We're not supposed to say things like that now.'



'I know I'm right,' she insisted. 'I remember the speech.' The two looked dismayed, shook their heads sadly and walked away.



Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself, 'Well, it has been over 50 years; she's probably forgotten.'



But she had not forgotten. She was right..



I went home and pulled out the book my book club is reading --- 'Flags of Our Fathers' by James Bradley. It's all about the battle at Iwo Jima .





I haven't gotten too far in the book. It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific.



But right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt 's speech to the nation ends in 'so help us God.'



The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me. I was born after the war! But they couldn't fool the people who were there. Roosevelt 's words are engraved on their hearts.



Now I ask: 'WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?????????'



Send this around to your friends. People need to know before everyone forgets.



People today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to be...and He always will be!



If you agree, pass this on and God Bless YOU!



If not, May God Forgive You!

Thanks Shovers! Another stimulous package

Subject: Another stimulus package











The observation in this is dead on...

































YOU HAVE TO READ THIS ONE ALL THE WAY TO THE END TO GET THE FULL BENEFIT OF ITS ADVICE....SERIOUSLY..........









Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive another 'Economic Stimulus' payment.







This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it by using a Q & A format:





Q. What is an 'Economic Stimulus' payment ?



A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.







Q.. Where will the government get this money ?



A. From taxpayers.





Q. So the government is giving me back my own money ?



A. Only a smidgen of it.





Q. What is the purpose of this payment ?



A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a

high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.





Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?



A. Shut up..





Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.S. economy by

spending your stimulus check wisely:





* If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China or Sri Lanka .





* If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs





* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan or China .





* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala ..





* If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea .





* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .





* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.





Instead, keep the money in America by:





1) Spending it at yard sales, or



2) Going to ball games, or



3) Spending it on prostitutes, or



4) Beer or



5) Tattoos.





(These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S. )







Conclusion:



Go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard

sale and drink beer all day !





No need to thank me, I'm just glad I could be of help.















































--

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is

worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went

unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey,"

died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was

getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the

trouble started.

Forgive my ineptness.  I have been unable to attach Tobey's letter or the story about Major Quinn's heroic death.  I will try later with my guru's help.


Sam




Honey, I didn't know Roger Quinn, but some Portsmoputh friends were in his PHS class of 1955.




I have some information I think should be helpful to you. I have sent a link to a wonderful story of the heroic Portsmouth West Point graduate, who was also an Army Ranger and a modest, but brilliant guy by all reports. He was leading his troops in the jungles of Viet Nam when he was shot and killed on April 3, 1968.



I called his sister, Colleen Quinn Sturgill who hasn't been to the Viet Nam wall in DC, but who visited the traveling VN Wall when it was in Portsmouth. Roger is also buried in Arlington Cemetery in DC and they have index to find his grave listed alphabetically. Colleen says you can go to the year 1968 and scroll alphabetically to his name. He was Major Roger Quinn. Roger's wife has remarried since his death, but they lived in Columbus when he went to Viet Nam.



I will send you more as it comes.



I think I am falling in love with you, beautiful!



Grandpa Sam,

Thank You for the money and the opportunity to go on this trip!!!!!!

I love you so much and yes, you are falling in love and you know it Grandpa:)

The old telephone Thanks Clay Vice!

THE OLD PHONE ON THE WALL. HELLO



When I was a young boy, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood.. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with fascination when my mother talked to it.

Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person. Her name was "Information Please" and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anyone's number and the correct time.



My personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench in the basement, I whacked my finger with a hammer, the pain was terrible, but there seemed no point in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy.

I walked around the house sucking my throbbing finger, finally arriving at the stairway. The telephone! Quickly, I ran for the footstool in the parlor and dragged it to the landing.. Climbing up, I unhooked the receiver in the parlor and held it to my ear.

"Information, please" I said into the Mouthpiece just above my head.

A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear.

"Information."

"I hurt my finger..." I wailed into the phone, the tears came readily enough

Now that I had an audience.

"Isn't your mother home?" came the question.

"Nobody's home but me," I blubbered.



Are you bleeding?" the voice asked.



"No," I replied. "I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts."



"Can you open the icebox?" she asked.

I said I could.



"Then chip off a little bit of ice and hold it to your finger," said the voice..



After that, I called "Information Please" for everything.. I asked her for help with my geography, and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math

She told me my pet chipmunk that I had caught in the park just the day before, would eat fruit and nuts.



Then, there was the time Petey, our pet canary, died. I called,

Information Please," and told her the sad story.. She listened, and then said things grown-ups say to soothe a child. But I was not consoled. I asked her, "Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers on the bottom of a cage?"

She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, " Wayne , always remember that there are other worlds to sing in."



Somehow I felt better.



Another day I was on the telephone, "Information Please."

"Information," said in the now familiar voice. "How do I spell fix?" I asked.

All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest . When I was nine years old, we moved across the country to Boston . I missed my friend very much. "Information Please" belonged in that old wooden box back home and I

somehow never thought of trying the shiny new phone that sat on the table in the hall. As I grew into my teens, the memories of those childhood conversations never really left me..



Often, in moments of doubt and perplexity I would recall the serene sense of security I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have spent her time on a little boy.





A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle . I had about a half-hour or so between planes. I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown operator and said, "Information Please."





Miraculously, I heard the small, clear voice I knew so well.

"Information."

I hadn't planned this, but I heard myself saying, "Could you please tell me how to spell fix?"



There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, "I guess your finger must have healed by now."



I laughed, "So it's really you," I said. "I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time?"





I wonder," she said, "if you know how much your call meant to me.

I never had any children and I used to look forward to your calls."



I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister.



"Please do", she said. "Just ask for Sally."



Three months later I was back in Seattle . A different voice answered,

"Information."

I asked for Sally.

"Are you a friend?" she said.



"Yes, a very old friend," I answered.

"I'm sorry to have to tell you this,"She said. "Sally had been working part time the last few years because she was sick. She died five weeks ago."

Before I could hang up, she said, "Wait a minute, did you say your name was Wayne ?" "

Yes." I answered.

"Well, Sally left a message for you.

She wrote it down in case you called.

Let me read it to you."

The note said,

"Tell him there are other worlds to sing in.

He'll know what I mean."

I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.





Never underestimate the impression you may make on others..

Whose life have you touched today?

Why not pass this on? I just did....

Lifting you on eagle's wings.

May you find the joy and peace you long for.

Life is a journey... NOT a guided tour.



I loved this story and just had to pass it on. I hope you enjoy it too.

National media warns of extreme political activities- Ironic!

I am seeing more and more national articles taking to task extreme political activities and urging moderates to get active.  We'll see much more on through to the 2010 November election.  Moderation?  We have let the ACLU and atheists remove much of the Christian religion from our lives as they actively move on to more and more secularism and what it stands for by being largely moderate and apathetic..  By the way.  What does secularism stand for? 

A Dispatch column on the editorial page from E.J. Dionne, a liberal, tells us "Christians need to act accordingly".  Nothing bad about that, except that Christians know that inherently by their biblical teachings.  Christians are human beings and realize they lack sainthood without being preached to by the liberal press.  Another, David Brooks, New York Times,  wants moderates to rise up but moderates hardly get excited about ANYTHING!

I am for the Tea Party people.  Get the incumbents out!  Too many liberals and moderates who show no enthusiasm for a free America as our fighting service people do.

MAY GOD BLESS THIS AIRLINE CAPTAIN:



He writes: My lead flight attendant came to me and said, "We have an H.R. On this flight." (H.R. Stands for human remains.) "Are they military?" I asked.



'Yes', she said.



'Is there an escort?' I asked.



'Yes, I already assigned him a seat'.



'Would you please tell him to come to the flight deck. You can board him early," I said..



A short while later, a young army sergeant entered the flight deck. He was the image of the perfectly dressed soldier. He introduced himself and I asked him about his soldier. The escorts of these fallen soldiers talk about them as if they are still alive and still with us.



'My soldier is on his way back to Virginia ,' he said. He proceeded to answer my questions, but offered no words.



I asked him if there was anything I could do for him and he said no. I told him that he had the toughest job in the military and that I appreciated the work that he does for the families of our fallen soldiers. The first officer and I got up out of our seats to shake his hand. He left the flight deck to find his seat.



We completed our preflight checks, pushed back and performed an uneventful departure. About 30 minutes into our flight I received a call from the lead flight attendant in the cabin. 'I just found out the family of the soldier we are carrying, is on board', she said. She then proceeded to tell me that the father, mother, wife and 2-year old daughter were escorting their son, husband, and father home. The family was upset because they were unable to see the container that the soldier was in before we left. We were on our way to a major hub at which the family was going to wait four hours for the connecting flight home to Virginia .



The father of the soldier told the flight attendant that knowing his son was below him in the cargo compartment and being unable to see him was too much for him and the family to bear. He had asked the flight attendant if there was anything that could be done to allow them to see him upon our arrival. The family wanted to be outside by the cargo door to watch the soldier being taken off the airplane.. I could hear the desperation in the flight attendants voice when she asked me if there was anything I could do.. 'I'm on it', I said. I told her that I would get back to her.



Airborne communication with my company normally occurs in the form of e-mail like messages. I decided to bypass this system and contact my flight dispatcher directly on a secondary radio. There is a radio operator in the operations control center who connects you to the telephone of the dispatcher. I was in direct contact with the dispatcher.. I explained the situation I had on board with the family and what it was the family wanted. He said he understood and that he would get back to me.



Two hours went by and I had not heard from the dispatcher. We were going to get busy soon and I needed to know what to tell the family. I sent a text message asking for an update. I saved the return message from the dispatcher and the following is the text:



'Captain, sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. There is policy on this now and I had to check on a few things. Upon your arrival a dedicated escort team will meet the aircraft. The team will escort the family to the ramp and plane side. A van will be used to load the remains with a secondary van for the family. The family will be taken to their departure area and escorted into the terminal where the remains can be seen on the ramp. It is a private area for the family only. When the connecting aircraft arrives, the family will be escorted onto the ramp and plane side to watch the remains being loaded for the final leg home. Captain, most of us here in flight control are veterans. Please pass our condolences on to the family. Thanks.'



I sent a message back telling flight control thanks for a good job. I printed out the message and gave it to the lead flight attendant to pass on to the father. The lead flight attendant was very thankful and told me, 'You have no idea how much this will mean to them.'



Things started getting busy for the descent, approach and landing. After landing, we cleared the runway and taxied to the ramp area. The ramp is huge with 15 gates on either side of the alleyway. It is always a busy area with aircraft maneuvering every which way to enter and exit. When we entered the ramp and checked in with the ramp controller, we were told that all traffic was being held for us.



'There is a team in place to meet the aircraft', we were told. It looked like it was all coming together, then I realized that once we turned the seat belt sign off, everyone would stand up at once and delay the family from getting off the airplane. As we approached our gate, I asked the copilot to tell the ramp controller we were going to stop short of the gate to make an announcement to the passengers. He did that and the ramp controller said, 'Take your time.'



I stopped the aircraft and set the parking brake. I pushed the public address button and said, 'Ladies and gentleman, this is your Captain speaking I have stopped short of our gate to make a special announcement. We have a passenger on board who deserves our honor and respect. His Name is Private XXXXXX, a soldier who recently lost his life. Private XXXXXX is under your feet in the cargo hold. Escorting him today is Army Sergeant XXXXXXX. Also, on board are his father, mother, wife, and daughter. Your entire flight crew is asking for all passengers to remain in their seats to allow the family to exit the aircraft first. Thank you.'



We continued the turn to the gate, came to a stop and started our shutdown procedures. A couple of minutes later I opened the cockpit door. I found the two forward flight attendants crying, something you just do not see. I was told that after we came to a stop, every passenger on the aircraft stayed in their seats, waiting for the family to exit the aircraft.



When the family got up and gathered their things, a passenger slowly started to clap his hands. Moments later more passengers joined in and soon the entire aircraft was clapping. Words of 'God Bless You', I'm sorry, thank you, be proud, and other kind words were uttered to the family as they made their way down the aisle and out of the airplane. They were escorted down to the ramp to finally be with their loved one.



Many of the passengers disembarking thanked me for the announcement I had made. They were just words, I told them, I could say them over and over again, but nothing I say will bring back that brave soldier.



I respectfully ask that all of you reflect on this event and the sacrifices that millions of our men and women have made to ensure our freedom and safety in these United States of AMERICA .



Foot note: As a Viet Nam Veteran I can only think of all the veterans including the ones that rode below the deck on their way home and how they were treated. When I read things like this I am proud that our country has not turned their backs on our soldiers returning from the various war zones today and give them the respect they so deserve.



I know every one who has served their country who reads this will have tears in their eyes, including me.



Prayer chain for our Military... Don't break it!



Please send this on after a short prayer.. Prayer for our soldiers Don't break it!



Prayer:



'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen..'

Subject: 7 reasons not to mess with children





A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.





The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.



The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.



Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.



The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.



The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'



The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.













A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.



As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.



The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'



The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.'



Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.'









A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.



After explaining the commandment to 'honour' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?'



Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'









One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.



She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?'



Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.'



The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Mummy, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?'













The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.



'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'



A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.'

















A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.'



'Yes,' the class said.



'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?'



A little fellow shouted,

'Cause your feet ain't empty.'









The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:



'Take only ONE . God is watching.'



Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.



A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'





It doesn't matter how many people you send this to, just remember if it made you laugh, your friends will laugh too.

Best Boss- Consistent, strong, and fair- Thanks Brother Paul and Sis-In-law Mary !

Mary and Paul,




Your Deemer relative sends some true stuff! Thanks! You should know I love this one!

Dear Employees:







As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the

fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and

government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go. So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem.



They voted for change...... I gave it to them.



I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

With all due respect to all posters....and I mean that sincerely.



What the most serious issue was the allegations....and believe me, they were very strong and had a lot of legs to them....that there was grade

alteration and test alteration....including involving the head coach's son and a kid that could well have been one of the best players that ever put on a UK uniform.



The talk that was going on then is the same many posters are putting out today: setup....how could that come open ...the father of Mills questioned if his son was only worth that amount of money .

In fact, there have been some that claim they have solid proof that the envelope WAS a plant from rival fans.



It doesn't matter. What the deal was is alteration of test scores to make a player eligible.

The NCAA found enough proof that it almost completely shut down the

biggest name around in college ball.

The attitude that 'everyone is just jealous and nothing is going on' blinded all of us.

The coach at that time, Eddie Sutton, was considered a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame. He built Creighton and Arkansas into basketball powers. He was the man that considered the PERFECT choice to replace to Joe Hall.

Drinker....sure...but highest integrity. Cliff Hagan...all american...champion basketball player...Home grown boy...was the AD.



It happens quick, folks. Trust me.

But the most interesting thing about it is that Eddie Sutton is rarely mentioned. Maybe it's because Kirkpatrick couldn't really figure out what Sutton's role was, but if you believe this article then the head coach was a bit player.



But there's this: Kentucky fans are mentioned a lot. If you believe this piece, then we were part of creating this machine where cheating was acceptable as long as the team won.



What interests me about that is that you can see some of that now.



I'm not saying Cal = Sutton, and I'm not alleging anything is going on in the program, but I do think there is an inherent danger when fans and boosters and the people like us start to look away and accept cheating.









I am afraid that many Kentucky fans are going to make UK basketball no fun as long as Coach Cal is here because of their mistrust. That is really sad.

For those of you who weren't around, there were a list of claims longer than I am tall about how UK was being targeted, cheated, set up...you name it. And looking back, some of that could have been correct....

BUT:



It was out of control to the point of grade tampering. UK was fortunate that it even HAD a basketball team after the investigation. Yes, it WAS that bad.

That's one of the reasons some of us get shivers when we hear about

allegations of 'pushing the envelope' when it comes to rules, and we really

catch our breath when the fan base laughs about it.









I don't think it is funny but it is a downer. I still think it has everything to do with Coach Cal whether some of us realize it or not. Will UK basketball ever become really fun again? I have my doubts. If we had any coach but Cal I don't think this topic would even be brought up. That is just my honest opinion.

You're probably right. Problems at UMASS and Memphis (whether coach Cal had any involvement or not) are the reason for these conversations, in my opinion. Those incidents will probably dog him for a long time, perhaps as long as he's a college coach. Especially since he coaches at one of the highest profile schools in the nation.

Will and Bill,



Curry Kirkpatrick, in my memory is the Sports Illustrated journalist who started the revisionist history on Adolph Rupp's racism. I give him not a dime of my thoughts. He began gossiping a message that has been perpetuated. Facts were never a problem to the guy. He wanted sensationalism to get the attention of sports fans whether truth or fiction.



I grew up listening to Bill Stern on Friday night radio. Bill would tell a story and reveal the name of a noted sports person of the day as the main person in the story at the end of the story. He became immensely popular and then somebody checked a few of his stories and found that he was 'creating' the association. Bill had such dramatic presentations that I and his audiences hung on every word. He was a hero journalist destroyed to most of us when the truth entered the picture.



Curry Kirkpatrick ... Ugh!



Sorry ... Just my honest opinion.
