Welcome
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.

'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs and make love,' and you answer, 'Pick one; I can't do both!'
'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
'OLD' IS WHEN....
You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.
'OLD' IS WHEN...
You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police .
'OLD' IS WHEN..
'Getting a little action' means you don't need to take a laxative today.
'OLD' IS WHEN....
'Getting lucky' means you find your car in the parking lot..
'OLD' IS WHEN...
An 'all nighter' means not getting up to use the bathroom.
'OLD' IS WHEN....

I have often wondered why it is that the conservatives are called the “right” and the liberals are called the “left.”
By chance stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)
“The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
but the heart of the fool to the left.”

Chai Time in the Big City
In Afghanistan, culture on March 28, 2009 at 7:37 pm
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
Hey! I’m Dave and this is my blog.
If you’ve found your way here, WELCOME! I hope you enjoy looking around.
This is my little piece of the world where I give a bit of opinion on politics, sports and the world in general. Lots of clips from my travels in Asia and other parts of the globe.
Living in Bangkok now. Out off of Ramkamhaeng. Out in the ‘burbs. It’s a nice, slow, easy life for now. Trying to write a book about my travels and taking it easy after 7 years off and on in Afghanistan. Nice to be settled for a while. Living with Unny, my girlfriend, and two dogs Malalai and Cierra. It’s a nice change of pace.
Maybe this time next year, I’ll be the author of a best selling book. Who knows. Stranger things have happened.
I travel a bit in Asia and elsewhere. I’ve grown quite fond of Thailand and Cambodia. If you are interested in Southeast Asia, you’ll find plenty here and I hope you enjoy it.
Getting ready and planning my latest trip for September/October. Heading to the Holy Land. We’ll try not to get blown up by Palestinian suicide bombers. Maybe see some old friends in Tel Aviv.
That’s all for now.
Peace, Dave
The road to truth is long, and lined the entire way with annoying bastards

Blog suggestions and PHS 50 reunion notes- Sam Kegley
The best comment at the reunion was from good friend, Hortense Bemse Robinson, who said when she made her regal appearance Saturday night: "This looks like recess at the nursing home."
I whispered to Gwili that she should seek out who takes the greatest numbers of pills a day. I was cocky in my mind about winning that query since I tke 13 in the morning and six at night in addition to my insulin shot. She whispered back that she takes 20 in the mortning and was still counting up in the 20's including the night pills when I interrtupted and told her to just forget it.
Fred Buckley, still living in Portsmouth, but first time reunion attendee, and his lovely wife are celebrating their 59th wedding anniversary this month. I thought Jeanie and I might win that one, as we celebrate our 59th January 19, 2011. Shot down another suggestion of mine for Gwili.
Some may be a little older than our 17-19 year ages upon graduation- now 77-79, but all looked great to me. We 39 who made it with spouses or friends are 34% of those living of the 212 who were graduated. Our necrology has 97 people we remember as excellent acquaintances.
Patricia Richards Whitehead attended for the first time and she made some lovely crystalline gifts for Gwili and for each of us. Russ White cancelled late, but had a gorgeous PHS 1950 craft gift for each attending alumnus.
Visits with Jim Scott, the fastest member of our class, D.E. Newman, Doctor Tom Swope, Tom Dickson, Ted and Anne, Tom and Carolyn and Carl and Emma were special for us as well as so many other good PHS alumni friends. Tom Lynch whispered for me to keep it up with the blog. Nancy Sisson Follis lives in Lexington and is also a UK fan as some may know that I am.
So many other good friends and conversations. Aren't we P'Town alumni lucky people?
Back home from the Cultural Center of Our Universe- Sam Kegley
We picked up my classmates, Wanda McFarland and Joyce Meeks, here in Columbus Friday morning and drove to Portsmouth where we brunched at Bob Evans. It is a good place to meet your old Portsmouth friends,except we didn't recognize any there if we did know them before. Many were just too young for our remembrances.
I had a book review scheduled for 2 PM Friday at Hillview, thanks to our good friend, Juanita Elliott, Lamoin's widow. I was happy that Wanda and Joyce were there because it became only those two, Juanita, Jeanie and me until Ramey Sonny Hoskins showed up about 2:15. Ramey had lunched in Urbana, about 120 or so miles northwest. He is a pilot who flew himself there for lunch, but still made my 'SamKat Blog 2008' book review meeting.
I received some good pointers for the betterment of my blog during the weekend which was the main purpose in addition to our sixtieth reunion. An important question was asked by Joyce, when I admitted my advocacy of the Tea Party and the conservancy of the blog which she and Wanda had perused during the few minutes before Sonny arrived. "Why did Glenn Beck schedule the "Return to Honor" demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's 'I have a Dream' speech before a huge crowd at that very spot?" Ramey took up the cross right there with an excellent answer that Glenn had said that he did not realize the date's history in the non-violent gentleman's civil rights speech when Genn's event was originally scheduled.
Sonny went on- that the purpose of the "Honor" Event was to raise recognition and donations for the families of Special Forces Americans. The highly trained forces do not know when they go out on their missions if they will ever return. Their highest desires have always been that their children and loved ones have decent lives if they are killed. Monies raised are for the purpose of seeing that the special forces individuals' children have funds for their education to help in their future. We need a return to honor in America today and Glenn believes that this demonstration will accomplish that. I believe the Tea Party demonstrators are accomplishing their mission non-violently and America's patriots will bring much good for our country.
I have an assigned mission right now to get us some milk and bananas for breakfast so I will write the blog suggestions I received and the reports of our reunion a little later today.

Anhother Dick Klitch tennis story- Sam
Dick and I meet for breakfast fairly often . Monday, August 23, it was at Spiro’s on McKinley just above Fifth Ave. From there, I go on down to Columbus State Community College to tutor math. Dick and I grew up in Mound Park in Portsmouth Ohio and have maintained our friendship throughout our adult lives.
Dick related another of his bits of wisdom in this story. I call Dick the “Dean” of tennis teaching pros in Columbus Ohio and he is widely appreciated in Columbus, Huntington WV and Portsmouth OH for his “meat and potatoes“ teaching skills. Jeanie and I witnessed his excellent teaching up close and personally as we watched him give a lesson to our fourteen year old granddaughter, Tobey Kegley, in early August.
This story was about one of his tennis teaching young pros he had working with him. He thought the young fellow may have had some promise so he assigned him to present a series of instructional clinics for some of Columbus’ most influential ladies who lived in Bexley, the well to do and mainly Jewish suburb in Columbus.
After the clinics proceeded, Dick had heard some rumblings and became a little uneasy about the progress. A couple of the ladies came to Dick and told him that he must do something to change the course of the instructions. “All the young pro wants to do is talk and that is how he conducts the clinics. We also were interested in hitting tennis balls in improving our games.”
Dick called the pro in and asked him how it was going. The man thought it was going ok. Dick then told him of hearing complaints and told him what the complaints were. Sensing no remorse from the recipient, Dick issued him a moratorium: “You have one more clinic to do and if it doesn’t go better, it will be your last for me.” The young fellow left and was not at all happy with the warning. However, he apparently did some soul searching and improved his teaching performance.
Dick also related that he had probably saved the gentleman’s life in a round about way. Dick had each of his teaching pros undergo a physical. The doctor conducting the physical had the patients fill out a seven page history. An input that his glove size kept changing rapidly tipped the doctor to have him further examined for a suspected disease. The results indicated the man had acromegaly (see below) and Dick referred it as a disease in which the extremities become far stronger, in proportion, than the other parts of the body. Reportedly, Andre the Giant, the 7 foot four inch wrestler, had the disease referenced to as gigantism. Besides physical discomforts, it can possibly lead to early death. A surgeon recommended a delicate surgery whereby an operating instrument was inserted up and under the facial skin to a place under the upper forehead to repair the pituitary gland in the brain.
Dick remembered that he had noticed the extreme strength of the fellow’s handshake when he first met him. He was only about five foot nine, but the size of his hands and his grip was extraordinary beyond expectations, particularly for a man of his stature. Dick is six foot four.
The operation was successful and the gentleman is still among us as he ages now. The fellow was later hired as a Midwest university tennis coach, thanks to Dick’s recommendation to the Athletics Director.

Acromegaly
Classification and external resources
Acromegaly (pronounced /ˌækrɵˈmɛɡəli/; from Greek άκρος akros "extreme" or "extremities" and μεγάλος megalos "large") is a syndrome that results when the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (hGH) after epiphyseal plate closure at puberty. A number of disorders may increase the pituitary's GH output, although most commonly it involves a GH producing tumor called pituitary adenoma, derived from a distinct type of cell (somatotrophs).
Acromegaly most commonly affects adults in middle age,[1] and can result in severe disfigurement, serious complicating conditions, and premature death if unchecked. Because of its insidious pathogenesis and slow progression, the disease is hard to diagnose in the early stages and is frequently missed for many years, until changes in external features, especially of the face, become noticeable.
Acromegaly is often also associated with gigantism.
Sixtieth PHS Reunion Aug 27 & 28 Shawnee Lodge

Remember to vote in November! Thanks Judi Cole!
Retribution is less than 5 months away!
Take a look at this and just remember elections in November 2010.
1. U..S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
2. They voted toNOTgive you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
3. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285..60 for the 2-years
4. You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
5. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
6. Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000
7. Do you feel used?
8. Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., decrease?
9. NO WAY.
Congress received a raise and has better health and retirement benefits than you or I.
Why should they care about you?
You never did anything about it in the past.
Send the message to these individuals --- "YOU'RE FIRED!"
In 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!
Make sure you're still mad in November 2010 and remind their replacements not to screw-up.
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse. Maybe it's time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution.
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America .
If you don't forward this to all your friends you're just part of the problem of national apathy.

This year's Darwin awards Thanks Tom & Carolyn!
From: Tom and Carolyn Lynch
Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 21:12
Subject: FW: This year's Darwin nominees are:
This year's Darwin nominees are:
Nominee No. 1: [ San Jose Mercury News]:
An unidentified man, using a shotgun like a club to break a former girl friend's windshield, accidentally shot himself to death when the gun discharged, blowing a hole in his gut.
Nominee No. 2: [ Kalamazoo Gazette]:
James Burns , 34, (a mechanic) of Alamo , MI , was killed in March as he was trying to repair what police describe as a "farm-type truck." Burns got a friend to drive the truck on a highway while Burns hung underneath so that he could ascertain the source of a troubling noise. Burns' clothes caught on something, however, and the other man found Burns "wrapped in the drive shaft."
Nominee No. 3: [ Hickory Daily Record]:
Ken Charles Barger , 47, accidentally shot himself to death in December in Newton , NC . Awakening to the sound of a ringing telephone beside his bed, he reached for the phone but grabbed instead a Smith & Wesson 38 Special, which discharged when he drew it to his ear.
Nominee No. 4: [UPI, Toronto ]:
Police said a lawyer demonstrating the safety of windows in a downtown Toronto skyscraper crashed through a pane with his shoulder and plunged 24 floors to his death.? A police spokesman said Garry Hoy, 39, fell into the courtyard of the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower early Friday evening as he was explaining the strength of the buildings windows to visiting law students. Hoy previously has conducted demonstrations of window strength according to police reports. Peter Lawson , managing partner of the firm Holden Day Wilson, told the Toronto Sun newspaper that Hoy was "one of the best and brightest" members of the 200-man association.
Nominee No. 5: [The News of the Weird]:
Michael Anderson Godwin made News of the Weird posthumously. He had spent several years awaiting South Carolina 's electric chair on a murder conviction before having his sentence reduced to life in prison While sitting on a metal toilet in his cell attempting to fix his small TV set, he bit into a wire and was electrocuted.
Nominee No. 6: [The Indianapolis Star]:
A cigarette lighter may have triggered a fatal explosion in Dunkirk , IN. A Jay County man, using a cigarette lighter to check the barrel of a muzzleloader, was killed Monday night when the weapon discharged in his face, sheriff's investigators said. Gregory David Pryor , 19, died in his parents' rural Dunkirk home at about 11:30 PM . Investigators said Pryor was cleaning a 54-caliber muzzle-loader that had not been firing properly. He was using the lighter to look into the barrel when the gunpowder ignited.
Nominee No. 7: [ Reuters , Mississauga , Ontario ]:
A man cleaning a bird feeder on the balcony of his condominium apartment in this Toronto suburb slipped and fell 23 stories to his death. " Stefan Macko , 55, was standing on a wheelchair when the accident occurred," said Inspector Darcy Honer of the Peel Regional Police. "It appears that the chair moved, and he went over the balcony," Honer said.
Finally, THE WINNER!!!: [ Arkansas Democrat Gazette]:
Two local men were injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early Monday. Woodruff County deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and Billy Ray Wallis , 38, of Little Rock , were returning to Des Arc after a frog-catching trip.. On an overcast Sunday night, Poole 's pickup truck headlights malfunctioned.
The two men concluded that the headlight fuse on the older-model truck had burned out. As a replacement fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the .22 caliber bullets from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering-wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet the headlights again began to operate properly, and the two men proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge .
After traveling approximately 20 miles, and just before crossing the river, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged and struck Poole in the testicles. The vehicle swerved sharply right, exited the pavement, and struck a tree. Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident but will require extensive surgery to repair the damage to his testicles, which will never operate as intended.
Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released. "Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his balls off, or we might be dead," stated Wallis
"I've been a trooper for 10 years in this part of the world, but this is a first for me. I can't believe that those two would admit how this accident happened," said Snyder .
Upon being notified of the wreck, Lavinia ( Poole 's wife) asked how many frogs the boys had caught and did anyone get them from the truck? Though Poole and Wallis did not die as a result of their misadventure as normally required by Darwin Award Official Rules, it can be argued that Poole did in fact effectively remove himself from the gene pool.
Every day above ground is a good day! Better to be seen, than viewed

Subject: Recall Notice
Well done!
RECALL NOTICE:
The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.
This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed "Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality," or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.
Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion
The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.
The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.
The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.
Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.
No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control
Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.
WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.
DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!
- GOD
P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by 'Knee mail'!

Old People- Risque from friend Joihn Bob Looney

----- Original Message -----
Subject: Fw: OLD PEOPLE
THIS IS WHY WE LOVE OLD PEOPLE.
THEY MAKE SUCH PERFECT SENSE OUT OF EVERYTHING!!!
A farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fixed.
They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far &
would just walk home.
On the way, he stopped at the hardware store & bought a bucket & a gallon
of paint.
He then stopped by the feed store & picked up a couple of chickens & a
goose.
However, struggling outside the store, he now had a problem - how to
carry his entire purchases home.
While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady
who told him she was lost.
She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?"
The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to
that house.
I would walk you there, but I can't carry this lot."
The old lady suggested, "Why don't you put the can of paint in the bucket.
Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm & carry the
goose in your other hand?"
"Why, thank you very much", he said, and proceeded to walk the old girl
home.
On the way he says, "Let's take a short cut & go down this alley. We'll
be there in no time."
The little old lady looked him over cautiously, then said, "I am a lonely
widow w/out a husband to defend me.
How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against
the wall, pull up my skirt, & have your way w/me?"
The farmer said, "Holy smokes, lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of
paint, 2 chickens & a goose.
How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall & do that?"
The old lady replied, "Set the goose down, cover him w/the bucket, put
the paint on top of the bucket, & I'll hold the chickens ."

Another wonderful Woody story- Thanks Ramey Hoskins and friend
Ramey. I didn't like his 3 yards and a cloud of dust and he was tough and had lot diff lifestyles that I didn't like BUT he was a mighty good man in many ways. I came to OSU the same year he did, Had classes under him and never missed a football game during those 4 years. Some of my favorites
Seeing 80,000 plus fans standing up and singing, "Goodbye Woody, We hate to see you go" This was at the tailend of his 1st or 2nd year there when the football team was stil pathetic and it was probably the last game before the Michigan Game. We he won that game and the rest is history !
Bo Schembeckler had played for Woody at Miami, Coached for Woody at Miami and OSU, and of course went on to coach against Woody the rest of his career. I was amazed at the "Hatred" between the two while Bo coached at Mich. I mentioned this to Jim Ruehl a friend of mine who played for Woody and later went on to help another one of Woody's assistants who took over Bowling Green about the same time Bo took over Mich. Jims answer was "Hogwash, every year before the season starts , Woody comes up, Bo comes down and the four of us go out to dinner and talk all night"
Woody had a recruit from Zanesville that was a Dr's son and a very good football player. The Dr told me Woody had been to his house 10 times and had never mentioned football. When it came down to the day that Woody offered him his scholarship, The player was sitting across the table from Woody and The dad was seated at the end of the table. Woody made the offer. His dad jumped in and said Woody, I've been planning for his Education all these years and he really doesn't need a scholarship. Why don't I pay his way and give the scholarship to some one who needs it? Woody turns to the Dr and said, "I didn't offer you the scholarship, I offered it to him and he deserves it !" The kid went to OSU one year. died of Leukemia and of course that would have been the end of the relationship with almost any coach you can name. The Dr told me that Woody never came thru town without calling the day before and telling the Dr's wife, "Make me a Blueberry Pie, I'll be in tomorrow". This was at least 4-5 years after the kid had passed away.
So you may like him or not but he had some positive things about him that few could match. By the way, he carried the facade with Bo right to the end. His last public appearance, he was brought from a Nursing Home, in a wheel chair, to a dinner in his honor. The door opens, Bo walks in and Woody bellows, "What the Hell are you doing here?"

Hello, dummies! Oh my God, look at you. Anyone else hurt in the
accident?
Seriously, Senator Reid has a face of a Saint - A Saint Bernard. Now I
know why they call you the arithmetic man. You add partisanship,
subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance. Reid is so
physically unimposing, he makes Pee Wee Herman look like Mr. T. And
Reid's so dumb, he makes Speaker Pelosi look like an intellectual.
Nevada is soooo screwed! If I were less polite, I'd say Reid makes
Kevin Federline look successful.
Speaking of the Speaker ... Nancy Pelosi, hubba, hubba! Hey baby, you
must've been something before electricity. Seriously, the Speaker may look like an idiot and talks like an idiot but don't let that fool you. She really is an idiot.
Charlie Rangel... still alive and still robbing the taxpayers blind. What does that make, six decades of theft? Rangel's the only man with a rent-controlled mansion. He's the guy who writes our tax laws but forgot to pay taxes on $75 grand in rental income! So why isn't he the Treasury Secretary? Rangel runs more scams than a Nigerian Banker.
Barney Frank ... he's a better actor than Fred Flintstone. Consider
that he and Dodd caused the whole financial meltdown, and they're not
only not serving time with Bubba and Rodney, they're still heading up
the financial system! Let's all admit it ... Barney Frank slobbers more
than a sheepdog on Novocain.. How did this guy get elected? Oh, that's
right .... he's from Massachusetts. That's the state that elects Mr. Charisma,
John Kerry -- man of the people!
You know, if Senator Dodd were any more crooked, you could open wine
bottles with him. Here's a news flash, Dodd: when your local newspaper calls you a "lying weasel," it may be time to retire. Dodd's involved in more shady deals than the Clintons. Even Rangel looks up to him!
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, I really respect you ... especially given your upbringing ~ All you've overcome. I heard your birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory. I don't know what makes you so dumb, but it really works for you. Personally, I don't
think you're a fool, but what's my opinion compared to that of thousands of others?
As for President Obama, what can I say? They say President Obama's arrogant and aloof, but I don't agree. Now it's true when you enter the room, you have to kiss his ring. I
don't mind, but he has it in his back pocket. His mind is open to new ideas -- so open that ideas simply pass through it. Obama lies so much, I was actually surprised to find out his first name really was Barack. Just don't ask about his middle name! But Obama was able to set a record ... he actually lied more in 60 days than Bill Clinton.
FOR THOSE THAT VOTED FOR "HOPE AND CHANGE".....
BEND OVER AND PREPARE TO RECEIVE YOUR BOUNTY!
President Obama just completed the UNHOLY and ANTI-AMERICAN TRIFECTA:
1st president in 110 years to miss the annual Army-Navy Football Game.
1st president to not attend any Christmas religious observance.
1st president to stay on vacation after a terrorist attack.
AND ALL IN THE SAME MONTH! WHAT A GREAT PRESIDENT.
P.S. He also did NOT lay the wreath at The Tomb of The Unknown and was the first President to NOT attend the National Boy Scout Jamboree.

Meaning of flag draped coffin- Thanks Tom & Carolyn!
Meaning of Flag Draped Coffin
All Americans should be given this lesson. Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought. Our founding fathers used GOD's word and teachings to establish our Great Nation and I think it's high time Americans get re-educated about this Nation's history.
Pass it along and be proud of the country we live in and even more proud of those who serve to protect our 'GOD GIVEN' rights and freedoms.
I hope you take the time to read this ... To understand what the flag
draped coffin really means ... Here is how to understand the flag that laid upon it and is surrendered to so many widows and widowers.
Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?
Have you ever noticed the honor guard pays meticulous attention to
correctly folding the United States of America Flag 13 times? You probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we learn something new every day!
The 1st fold of the flag is a symbol of life.
The 2nd fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life.
The 3rd fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world.
The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens
trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war forHis divine guidance.
The 5th fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen
Decatur, 'Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.'
The 6th fold is for where people's hearts lie. It is with their heart that
they pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States Of America , and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
The 7th fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of their republic.
The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the
shadow of death, that we might see the light of day.
The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been
through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.
The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons
and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first born.
The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the
Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.
The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are
uppermost reminding them of their nations motto, 'In God We Trust.'
After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the
appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for them the rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy today.
There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning.
In the future, you'll see flags folded and now you will know why.
Share this with the children you love and all others who love what is
referred to, the symbol of ' Liberty and Freedom.'
MAYBE THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD READ THIS EXPLANATION BEFORE THEY RENDER THEIR DECISION ON THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. FORWARD IT; MAYBE SOMEONE WITH THE NECESSARY POWER, OR POLITICAL AND FINANCIAL INFLUENCE, WILL GET IT TO THEM.
IN THE MEANTIME, MAY GOD PROTECT US ALWAYS.
ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
George Soros- I don't understand his support of Democrats- Maybe because he is an atheist.
That is interesting to me because I was a very small member of the Esperanto Club here in Columbus. I could read and speak a little but my hearing has always been deteriorating and the hardest part of learning a language is hearing it. I admire the people who are multi-lingual: however, I can see God's point in the Tower of Babble. Man is always cocky about his accomplishments until the Almighty God calms him down a bit.
My good friend, John Massey, should be interested in this bit and probably already knows it. John led the Columbus Esperantists for years and He and his wife, Yvette, speak the language fluently as well as they do French and English.
George Soros Family:
Family
Soros was born in Budapest, Hungary, the son of the Esperantist writer Tivadar Soros. Tivadar (also known as Teodoro) was a Hungarian Jew, who was a prisoner of war during and after World War I and eventually escaped from Russia to rejoin his family in Budapest.[8][9]
The family changed its name in 1936 from Schwartz to Soros, in response to growing anti-semitism with the rise of Fascism. Tivadar liked the new name because it is a palindrome and because it has a meaning. Although the specific meaning is left unstated in Kaufmann's biography, in Hungarian, soros means "next in line, or designated successor", in Hebrew, "foundation", and in Esperanto, it means "will soar".[10] His son George was taught to speak Esperanto from birth and is a native Esperanto speaker. George Soros later said that he grew up in a Jewish home, and that his parents were cautious with their religious roots.[11]
George Soros has been married and divorced twice, to Annaliese Witschak, and to Susan Weber Soros. He has five children: Robert, Andrea, Jonathan (with his first wife, Annaliese); Alexander, Gregory (with his second wife, Susan). His elder brother, Paul Soros, a private investor and philanthropist, is a retired engineer, who headed Soros Associates, an international engineering firm based in New York, and established the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for Young Americans.[12][13] George Soros' nephew Peter Soros, a son of Paul Soros, is married to the former Flora Fraser, a daughter of Lady Antonia Fraser and the late Sir Hugh Fraser, and a stepdaughter of the late 2005 Nobel Laureate Harold Pinter.[14]
[edit] Early life
Soros was thirteen years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany took military control over Hungary.[15] Soros worked for the Jewish Council,[8] which had been established during the Nazi occupation of Hungary to forcibly carry out Nazi and Hungarian government anti-Jewish measures. Soros later described this time to writer Michael Lewis:
The Jewish Council asked the little kids to hand out the deportation notices. I was told to go to the Jewish Council. And there I was given these small slips of paper...It said report to the rabbi seminary at 9 a.m....And I was given this list of names. I took this piece of paper to my father. He instantly recognized it. This was a list of Hungarian Jewish lawyers. He said, "You deliver the slips of paper and tell the people that if they report they will be deported.[16]
To avoid his son's being apprehended by the Nazis, Soros's father paid a Ministry of Agriculture employee to have Soros spend the summer of 1944 living with him and posing as the godson. Young Soros had to hide his Jewishness even as the official was overseeing the confiscation of Jewish property.[17]
In the following year, Soros survived the battle of Budapest in which Soviet and German forces fought house-to-house through the city. Soros first traded currencies and jewelry during the Hungarian hyperinflation of 1945–1946.
Soros emigrated to England in 1947 and graduated from the London School of Economics in 1952. While a student of the philosopher Karl Popper, Soros worked as a railway porter and as a waiter. A university tutor requested aid for Soros, and he received 40 pounds from a Quaker charity.[18] He eventually secured an entry-level position with London merchant bank Singer & Friedlander.
[edit] Emigration
In 1956 Soros moved to New York City, where he worked as an arbitrage trader with F. M. Mayer from 1956 to 1959 and as an analyst with Wertheim and Company from 1959 to 1963. Throughout this time, Soros developed a philosophy of "reflexivity" based on the ideas of Karl Popper. Reflexivity, as used by Soros, is the belief that the action of beholding the valuation of any market by its participants, affects said valuation of the market in a procyclical 'virtuous or vicious' circle.[19]
Soros realized, however, that he would not make any money from the concept of reflexivity until he went into investing on his own. He began to investigate how to deal in investments. From 1963 to 1973 he worked at Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder, where he attained the position of vice-president. Soros finally concluded that he was a better investor than he was a philosopher or an executive. In 1967 he persuaded the company to set up an offshore investment fund, First Eagle, for him to run; in 1969 the company founded a second fund for Soros, the Double Eagle hedge fund.[19]
When investment regulations restricted his ability to run the funds as he wished, he quit his position in 1973 and established a private investment company that eventually evolved into the Quantum Fund. He has stated that his intent was to earn enough money on Wall Street to support himself as an author and philosopher — he calculated that $500,000 after five years would be possible and adequate.
He is also a former member of the Carlyle Group.[19]
[edit] Business
Soros is the founder of Soros Fund Management. In 1970 he co-founded the Quantum Fund with Jim Rogers, which created the bulk of the Soros fortune. Rogers retired from the fund in 1980. Other partners have included Victor Niederhoffer and Stanley Druckenmiller.
In 2007, the Quantum Fund returned almost 32%, netting Soros $2.9 billion.[20]

Snopes exposed! Thanks Dr. Hovermale!
From: Jim Chanaberry
Date: August 9, 2010 12:15:55 EDT
Subject: Snopes exposed
Snopes receives funding from an undisclosed source. The source is undisclosed
because Snopes refuses to disclose that source. The Democratic Alliance, a
funding channel for uber-Leftist (Marxist) Billionaires (George Soros etc.),
direct funds to an "Internet Propaganda Arm" pushing these views. The Democratic
Alliance has been reported to instruct Fundees to not disclose their funding
source.
For the past few years (www.snopes.com/ has positioned itself, or others have
labeled it, as the 'tell-all final word' on any comment, claim and email. But
for several years people tried to find out who exactly was behind snopes.com. It
is run by a husband and wife team - that's right, no big office of investigators
and researchers, no team of lawyers. It's just a mom-and-pop operation that
began as a hobby. David and Barbara Mikkelson in the San Fernando Valley
of Californiastarted the website about 13 years ago and they have no formal
background or experience in investigative research.
The reason for the questions - or skepticisms - is a result
of snopes.com claiming to have the bottom line facts to certain questions or
issue when in fact they have been proven wrong. Also, there were criticisms the
Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of
various issues.
A few months ago, when my State Farm agent Bud Gregg in Mandeville hoisted a
political sign referencing Barack Obama and made a big splash across
theInternet, 'supposedly' the Mikkelson's claim to have researched this issue
before posting their findings on snopes.com. In their statement they claimed the
corporate office of State Farm pressured Gregg into taking down the sign, when
in fact nothing of the sort 'ever' took place. I personally contacted David
Mikkelson (and he replied back to me) thinking he would want to get to the
bottom of this and I gave him Bud Gregg's contact phone numbers - and Bud was
going to give him phone numbers to the big exec's at State Farm in Illinois who
would have been willing to speak with him about it. He never called Bud. In
fact, I learned from Bud Gregg that no one from snopes.com ever contacted anyone
with State Farm.
Yet, snopes.com issued a statement as the 'final factual word' on the issue as
if they did all their homework and got to the bottom of things - not!
Then it has been learned the Mikkelson's are very Democratic (party) and
extremely liberal. As we all now know from this presidential election, liberals
have a purpose agenda to discredit anything that appears to be conservative.
There has been much criticism lately over the Internet with people pointing out
the Mikkelson's liberalism revealing itself in their website findings. Gee, what
a shock?
So, I say this now to everyone who goes to snopes.com to get what they think to
be the bottom line fact 'proceed with caution.' Take what it says at face value
and nothing more. Use it only to lead you to their references where you can link
to and read the sources for yourself. Plus, you can always search a subject and
do the research yourself.
I have found this to be true also! Many videos of Obama I tried to verify on
Snopes and they said they were False. Then they gave their liberal slant! I have
suspected some problems with snopes for some time now, but I have only caught
them in half-truths. If there is any subjectivity they do an immediate full left
rudder.
I have recently discovered that Snopes.com is owned by a flaming liberal and
this man is in the tank for Obama. There are many things they have listed on
their site as a hoax and yet you can go to You tube yourself and find the video
of Obama actually saying these things. So you see, you cannot and should not
trustSnopes.com, ever for anything that remotely resembles truth! I don't even
trust them to tell me if email chains are hoaxes anymore.
A few conservative speakers on MySpace told me about Snopes.com. A few months
ago and I took it upon myself to do a little research to find out if it was
true. Well, I found out for myself that it is true. Anyway just FYI please don't
use Snopes.com anymore for fact checking and make your friends aware of their
political leanings as well. Many people still thinkSnopes.com is neutral and
they can be trusted as factual. We need to make sure everyone is aware that that
is a hoax in itself.

Jack Plymale on New Boston, Portsmoputh and UK
they did also.. They really had two good running backs. One was Keith
Gaspich, later a doctor in Portsmouth and Pat James. The Bear had a
history of making college guards out of high school fullbacks, which
he did with Pat at UK. They stayed together for as long as the Bear
was in the business. Pat as an assistant coach. A bunch of our guys
including me, Fout, Lemon, Nick Butt, Dave Spriggs
, Gene Heath all worked at the N&W freight station onthe weekends. Pat
James and a couple of other New Boston guys worked ther too.. Pat was
a great guy. Jack P.
