Subject: FW: An answer to Obama.......
This isn't bashing the President because of his political party, but it's historically accurate about our history and his remarks concerning the history of our country.
I don't like what he said, and I doubt if very many Americans agreed with his remarks regardless of their political affiliation.
Terry
Ain't it the truth!
I personally DO respect everyone's right to freely pray their faith. I don't respect those whose faith leads them to kill others who don't share their particular faith.
Our glorious President visited the Muslim world and told them how much the United States has been enriched by our Muslim Heritage. Evidently Mr. Wonderful hit a raw nerve with one fellow American that seems to know more about our nation's History than our President, (son of a non-American Kenyan).
I don't know who wrote the following, but he copied just about everybody including our Florida representatives and all the media outlets. Read on.
Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's story."
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE:
Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence ?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England ? No..
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug nosed slaves." Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country's Woman's Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the 'hajib' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?
Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news network’s that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims who's asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America .
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .
That, Mr. Obama is the "Muslim heritage" in America .
EVERY AMERICAN MUST
READ THIS !!

Mercy America- Murtha?
Thanks Alma!
From someone who has served in the military regarding the naming of a ship after Murtha . . .
John Murtha might have been in the Marine Corps but he was never a marine.
He was a self serving scumbag of a politician.
He would do or say anything to advance himself.
He did great damage to the Armed services.
He was an unindicted coconspirator
in the ABSCAM investigation.
He arranged for an airport to be named after himself.
That is far more than he deserved. What he should have received was a nice 20 years in a Federal prison.
The idea of naming a ship after this scumbag makes me sick.
I am not at all surprised that the current leadership would consider this idea at all.

Excerpts from JWR
I am Christian, not Jewish; however, I find some very interesting items in the Jewish World Review, which my friend, Judi Cole, began sending me recently. The USA and Israel are tightly bound in this difficult world and that bond should not be broken. I like these ditties:
* 1939, Powell Crosley produces America's first miniature or "bantam"
car. The Crosley was a foot shorter and 100 pounds lighter than the
pre-war Volkswagen Bug, and far smaller than anything manufactured by
American companies.
At a $800 sticker price, Crosley was unable to convince consumers to
purchase a miniature car when they could buy a full-size car for a few
hundred dollars more. He was soon out of business
* 1945, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and his mistress, Clara
Petacci, were executed by Italian partisans as they attempted to flee
the country
* 1952, war with Japan officially ended as a treaty that had been signed
by the United States and 47 other nations took effect. Also: Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, one of the most highly regarded American generals of
World War II, steps down as supreme commander of the combined land and
air forces of NATO. He does this in order to run for president. In
November 1952, "Ike" wins a resounding victory in the presidential
elections, and in 1956, is reelected by a landslide

Black Republican Rebukes Steele
By Lloyd Marcus
RNC Chairman Michael Steele said that the GOP has not given blacks a reason to vote Republican. As a black conservative Republican, I ask, what is the GOP suppose to do -- serve soul food at Republican events?
In other words, I reject the concept of dividing Americans into victimized groups and pandering to them. Besides, the Democrats are masters of insulting the intelligence of Americans by playing the old and tattered victim, race, and class envy cards. The GOP does not need to go down the same shameful, disgusting road.
Brother Steele, how about the GOP showing a little respect for the American people by standing up for conservative values and principles? If you do this, they will come. Right-minded Americans of all stripes will join our cause.
So how do you, Chairman Steele, think the GOP should attract more blacks? Do we adopt "liberal lite" policies? Do Republicans prove that they are "down with the brothers" by embracing a lighter version of the lie promoted by the race-exploiting Democrats, by saying that racism is still somewhat of a problem for blacks in America today?
Chairman Steele, you said, "The Republican Party had a hand in forming the NAACP, and yet we have mistreated that relationship." What the heck are you talking about? When President Obama addressed the NAACP and said that racism is still a problem for blacks in America, the audience cheered as if at a baseball game where someone on their team hit a home run. They loved the affirmation of their victim status.
The once-great NAACP has deteriorated into a negative for black America. The organization sold its soul for a seat of power at the liberal Democratic Party table, betraying blacks by keeping them thinking like victims so they will continue voting monolithically Democrat. Why on earth should the Republicans pander to this organization of disgusting race-exploiters?
I am so done with "identity politics." We are all Americans. Why can't politicians simply relate to us as such rather than dividing us into victimized groups which they promise special concessions?
Remember how Superman stood for truth, justice, and the American Way? Oh, for a political party with the courage and values of the man who disguised himself as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent -- no special concessions for any group, but truth, justice, and the American Way for all.
As a high-profile black member of the Tea Party Movement, I am constantly being asked by reporters, "Why isn't the movement doing more to attract minorities?" I say that the movement is doing exactly what it should be doing: standing up for conservative principles and values. Over time, this will attract all right-thinking Americans.
Entitlement-minded losers will be repulsed by our message, but that is OK. We are seeking to attract the kind of Americans who have made America great -- folks who still believe in American exceptionalism, who still see America as a shining city on a hill.
After traveling across America on three Tea Party Express tours, I am seeing more and more blacks at the rallies. I have begun interviewing them. They are mostly entrepreneurs or ex-military who have witnessed the negative consequences of socialism abroad. These blacks also display an air of pride, dignity, and self-confidence which comes from personal achievement. These blacks are cast from the same mold as former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the kind of blacks hated by the NAACP.
Obama has appointed Al Sharpton as his "go-to guy" in getting his message to the black community. This is more "identity politics." Does this also imply that we blacks are too stupid to understand Obama and need Sharpton to interpret?
Admittedly, there are issues which are devastating the black community: high numbers of out-of-wedlock births, epidemic school dropout rates, and 50% of black babies aborted (blackgenocide.org). But these problems should not be dealt with from the standard Democrat "white folks don't care" or "it's whitey's fault" or "let's throw more money at it" point of view. The mess in the black community is proof of the utter failure of Democrat-enforced liberalism and not holding people accountable.
Blacks must be challenged to take responsibility for their lives. For crying out loud, this is America! A high school education is free. There is no reason other than a moral and parental breakdown for blacks not to graduate high school.
Chairman Steele, my bottom line is that the GOP does not need to pander to race, sex, or any other nonsense to win votes. Just stand up for what is right for all Americans. While I am not suggesting that you adorn yourself in a leotard, red briefs, and a cape, standing up for conservatism could make you America's Superman.

This is a must read.
Subject: The Chicken Plucker
A DREAMER AND HIS DREAM
Let me tell you, Jesse hated this job. And you would too, I imagine, if
You had to do it. Jesse was a chicken plucker. That's right.
He stood on a line in a chicken factory and spent his days pulling
the feathers off dead chickens so the rest of us wouldn't have to.
It wasn't much of a job.
But at the time, Jesse didn't think he was much of a person.
His father was a brute of a man.
His dad was actually thought to be mentally ill
and
treated Jesse rough all of his life.
Jesse's older brother wasn't much better.
He was always picking on Jesse and beating him up.
Yes, Jesse grew up in a very rough home in West Virginia .
Life was anything but easy.
And he thought life didn't hold much hope for him.
That's why he was standing in this chicken line, doing a job that darn few
people wanted.
In addition to all the rough treatment at home, it seems that Jesse was
always sick.
Sometimes it was real physical illness, but way too often it was all in
his head. He was a small child, skinny and meek.
That sure didn't help the situation any.
When he started to school, he was the object of every bully on the
playground.
He was a hypochondriac of the first order.
For Jesse, tomorrow was not always something to be looked forward to.
But, he had dreams.
He wanted to be a ventriloquist.
He found books on ventriloquism.
He practiced with sock puppets and saved his hard earned dollars until he
could get a real ventriloquist dummy.
When he got old enough, he joined the military.
And even though many of his hypochondriac symptoms persisted, the
military did recognize his talents and put him in the entertainment corp.
That was when his world changed.
He gained confidence.
He found that he had a talent for making people laugh, and laugh so hard
they often had tears in their eyes.
Yes, little Jesse had found himself.
You know, folks, the history books are full of people who overcame a
handicap to go on and make a success of themselves, but Jesse is one of
the few I know of who didn't overcome it.
Instead he used his paranoia to make a million dollars, and become one of
the best-loved characters of all time in doing it!
Yes, that little paranoid hypochondriac, who transferred his nervousness
into a successful career, still holds the record for the most Emmy's given
in a single category.
The wonderful, gifted, talented, and nervous comedian who brought us
Barney Fife
was
Jesse Don Knotts.

Gentle Thoughts for Today -
Birds of a feather flock together . . . .and then shit on your car.
A penny saved is a government oversight.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
He who hesitates is probably right.
Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.
If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble..
Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs...'
Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of Algebra.
You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young. Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth . . .. . . . . AMEN!
