Police do care
I get irritated when people come down on our police officers, saying that they don’t care about others. Well, here is a story that clearly shows not all cops are in that category.
This story involves the police department in the small hill country town of Fredericksburg , TX who reported finding a man's body last Saturday in the early evening in the Pedernales River near the state highway-87 bridge. The dead man’s name would not be released until his family had been notified.
The victim apparently drowned due to excessive beer consumption while visiting “someone" in Kerrville . He was wearing black fishnet stockings, a red garter belt, a pink G-string, purple lipstick, and an Obama T-shirt.
The police removed the Obama T-shirt to spare his family any unnecessary embarrassment.

Hoax Busting- Salt Water burning for fuel- I dunno!
Debunking email hoaxes and exposing Internet scams since 2003!
Fuel From Salt Water
Summary:
Series of videos and messages claim that an inventor in the US has found a way to burn salt water with a radio-wave generator (Full commentary below).
Subject: salt water can be used for auto fuel
Check this out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf4gOS8aoFk
Commentary:
Claims that an inventor has found a way to "burn" salt water with a radio-wave generator are circulating in the form of videos, emails and website articles. The technique has generated so much excitement because there have been suggestions that it could potentially be used to power vehicle engines from that most abundant of resources, sea water, and thereby break our increasingly troublesome reliance on fossil fuels.
Although the process described may sound somewhat far-fetched, the claims in the videos and messages are factual, at least in the sense that the salt water actually does "burn".
Several years ago, retired broadcast executive John Kanzius began working on a radio-wave generator that could kill cancer cells. The machine has so far shown promising results and has raised the interest of prominent doctors and scientists.
Kanzius and an associate, Charlie Rutkowski, later discovered that the radio-wave generator could actually burn salt water when they were experimenting to see if the machine could be used for desalination. A news video of the process shows how a test-tube filled with ordinary salt water with a piece of paper towel as a wick ignites and burns without consuming the paper. In fact, the water produces a flame without any wick at all. The footage also shows a miniature engine being powered by heat from the burning water. A chemist who examined the process determined that the energy released is hydrogen. The heat breaks down the bond between hydrogen and oxygen in the water.
It should be noted, however, that the process is not yet considered a practical method of generating energy and quite possible never will be. According to a PESWiki article on the subject, the radio-wave generator consumes more energy than can be produced by the burning salt water. Some of the more enthusiastic reports on the invention tend to gloss over this fact.

Kill 'em and eat 'em! Thanks Luis flores!
A Pilot's Story - Not what you would think
May 30, 2010
Kill 'em and Eat 'em.
This narrative came from a gent who runs a 2000-acre corn farm up around
Barron , WI, not far from Oshkosh . He used to fly F-4Es and F-16s for the
Guard and participated in the first Gulf War.
I went out to plant corn for a bit to finish a field before tomorrow morning
and witnessed The Great Battle . A golden eagle - big, with about a
six-foot wingspan - flew right in front of the tractor. It was being chased
by three crows that were continually dive bombing it and pecking at it. The
crows do this because the eagles rob their nests when they find them.
At any rate, the eagle banked hard right in one evasive maneuver, then
landed in the field about 100 feet from the tractor. This eagle stood about
3 feet tall. The crows all landed too. They took up positions around the
eagle at 120 degrees apart, but kept their distance at about 20 feet from
the big bird. The eagle would take a couple steps towards one of the crows
and they'd hop backwards and forward to keep their distance. Then the
reinforcement showed up.
I happened to spot the eagle's mate hurtling down out of the sky at what
appeared to be approximately Mach 1.5. Just before impact the eagle on the
ground took flight, (obviously a coordinated tactic; probably pre-briefed)
and the three crows which were watching the grounded eagle, also took flight
thinking they were going to get in some more pecking on the big bird.
The first crow being targeted by the diving eagle never stood a snowball's
chance in hell. There was a mid-air explosion of black feathers and that
crow was done. The diving eagle then banked hard left in what had to be a 9G
climbing turn, using the energy it had accumulated in the dive, and hit crow
#2 less than two seconds later. Another crow dead.
The grounded eagle, which was now airborne and had an altitude advantage on
the remaining crow, which was streaking eastward in full burner, made a
short dive, then banked hard right when the escaping crow tried to evade the
hit. It didn't work - crow #3 bit the dust at about 20 feet AGL.
This aerial battle was better than any air show I've been to, including the
war birds show at Oshkosh . The two eagles ripped the crows apart and ate
them on the ground, and as I got closer and closer working my way across the
field, I passed within 20 feet of one of them as it ate its catch. It
stopped and looked at me as I went by and you could see in the look of that
bird that it knew who's Boss Of The Sky. What a beautiful bird!
I loved it. Not only did they kill their enemy, they ate them. This is one
of the best Fighter Pilot stories I've seen in a long time... There are no
noble wars -- Only noble warriors.

Recycled Poem... Thanks Tom and Carolyn Lynch!
Read
Alone.....
Especially the
POEM
I believe
whatever is in store for
us will be for us.
The poem is
very true, unfortunately.
Make sure you
read the poem!
CASE 1: Kelly
Sedey had one wish,
for her boyfriend of three years,
David Marsden, to propose to her.
Then one day when she was out
to lunch David proposed!
She accepted, but then had to leave
because she had a meeting in 20 min.
When she got to her office, ! ! she noticed on
her computer she had some e-mail's.
She checked it, the usual stuff
from her friends, but then she saw one
that she had never gotten before
It was this poem.. She simply deleted it
without even reading all of it.
BIG MISTAKE!
Later that evening,
she received a phone call from the police
It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident
with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive!
CASE 2: Take
Katie Robinson She received this poem and
being the believer that she was
she sent it to a few of her friends but
didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out
the full 5 that you must.
Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball.
Later that night when she left to get to her car,
she was killed in that spot by a
hit-and-run drunk driver.
CASE 3: Richard
S. Willis sent this poem out
within 45 minutes of reading it.
Not even 4 hours later walking
along the street to his new job interview with
a really big company, when he ran into
Cynthia Bell, his secret love for 5 years.
Cynthia came up to himand told him of
her passionate crush on him that she had had
for 2 years. Three days later, he proposed to
her and they got married.
Cynthia and Richard are still married
with three children, happy as ever!
This is the poem:
Around the
corner I have a friend,
In this great
city that has no end,
Yet the days go
by and weeks rush on,
And before I
know it, a year is gone.
And I never see
my old friends face,
For life is a
swift and terrible race,
He knows
I like him just as well,
As in the days
when I rang his bell.
And he rang
mine but we were younger then,
And now we are
busy, tired men.
Tired of
playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying
to make a name.
'Tomorrow' I
say! 'I will call on Jim
Just to show
that I'm thinking of him.'
But tomorrow
comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance
between us grows and grows.
Around the
corner, yet miles away,
'Here's a
telegram sir,' ' Jim died today.'
And that's what
we get and deserve in the end.
Around the
corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to
always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late...
Seize the day.
Never have regrets.
And most importantly,
stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.
You must send this
on in 3 hours after reading the letter to 10 other people.
If you do this, you will receive
unbelievably good luck.
*NOTE*
the more people that you send this to, the better
luck you will have.
SMILE, even through
your tears!!!!!

Shirley goodness... Thanks Tom & Carolyn!
Recycles refresh us, don't they T & C!
Cute!!!!!!!!!
A mother was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school.
Young Timmy didn't want his mother to walk with him. .....he wanted to walk with his friend.
His Mom wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe.
So she had an idea of how to handle it.
She asked a neighbour if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance,
So he probably wouldn't notice her.
The neighbour said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.
The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbour girl he knew.
She did this for the whole week.
As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs,
Timmy 's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week.
Finally she said to Timmy ,
'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?'
Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'
The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?'
'That's just Shirley Goodnest ,' Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy .'
' Shirley Goodnest ? Who the heck is she and why is she following us?
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mum makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much.
And in the Psalm, it says, ' Shirley Goodnest (surely goodness ) and Marcy (mercy) shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always
I know you smiled!
I sure did, Pass this on
And brighten someone's day!

Google- obama-Columbia-Roots
I am neither a fan of obama nor Snopes, both left wing advocates. This is from a Google for : obama- Columbia-Roots. It goes on and on with Roots claiming nobody at Columbia knew of Barack Hussein obama and Roots saying the message is untrue. Both reportedly graduated from columbia in political science in 1983.
Believe what you will.

Meet Maine's governor... Thanks John Massey!

Meet Maine's new govenor Wonderful!!! , Sounds like another Harry Truman , wonderfull for Maine.
Meet Maine's New Governor.
In case you haven't heard about this guy before, his name will stick in
your mind! The new Maine Governor, Paul Le Page is making New
Jersey's Chris Christie look like an enabler. He isn't afraid to say what he
thinks. Judging by the comments, every time he opens his mouth, his
popularity goes up.
He brought down the house at his inauguration when he shook his fist
toward the media box and said, "You're on notice! I've inherited a financially-
troubled State to run. Observe...cover what we do...but don't whine if I don't
waste time responding to your every whim for your amusement."
During his campaign for Governor, he was talking to commercial fishermen
who are struggling because of federal fisheries rules. They complained that
0bama brought his family to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park for a long
Labor Day holiday and found time to meet with union leaders, but wouldn't talk
to the fishermen. LePage replied, "I'd tell him to go to hell and get out of my
State." The Lame Stream Media crucified LePage, but he jumped 6 points in
the pre-election poll.
The Martin Luther King incident was a political sandbag which brought him
National exposure. The 'lame stream' media crucified him, but word on the street
is very positive. The NAACP specifically asked LePage to spend MLK Day
visiting black inmates at the Maine State Prison. He told them that he would
meet with ALL inmates, regardless of race, if he were to visit the prison. The
NAACP balked and then put out a news release claiming falsely that he refused
to participate in any MLK events. He read it in the paper for the 1st time the next
morning while being driven to an event and went ballistic because none of the
reporters had called him for comment before running the NAACP release.
He arrived at that event & said in front of a TV camera, "If they want to play
the race card on me they can kiss my ass", and he reminded them that he has
an adopted black son from Jamaica and that he attended the local MLK
Breakfast every year that he was mayor of Waterville. (He started his morning
there on MLK Day.)
He then stated that there's a right way and a wrong way to meet with the
Governor, and he put all special interests on notice that press releases, media
leaks, and all demonstrations would prove to be the wrong way. He said any
other group which acted like the NAACP could expect to be at the bottom of
the Governor's priority list!
He then did the following, and judging from local radio talk show callers, his
popularity increased even more: The State employees union complained because
he waited until 3 P.M. before closing State offices and facilities and sending
non-emergency personnel home during the last blizzard. The prior Governor would
often close offices for the day with just a forecast before the first flakes. (Each time
the State closes for snow, it costs the taxpayers about $1 million in wages for no
work in return.)
LePage was CEO of the Marden's chain of discount family bargain retail
stores before election as governor.
He noted that State employees getting off work early could still find lots of retail
stores open to shop. So, he put the State employees on notice by announcing:
"If Marden's is open, Maine is open!"
He told State employees: "We live in Maine in the winter, for heaven's sake,
and should know how to drive in it. Otherwise, apply for a State job in Florida!"
Governor LePage symbolizes what America needs; Refreshing politicians who
aren't self-serving and who exhibit common sense!
You have only the rights you are willing to fight for!

Nice Polish joke... Thanks Clay!
Thank God for Polish Jokes. I must admit this one is cute!
The Polish Divorce
A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.
Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well.
One day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him.
The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:
Have you any grounds?
Yes, an acre and half and nice little home.
No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?
It made of concrete.
I don't think you understand.
Does either of you have a real grudge?
No, we have carport, and not need one.
I mean what are your relations like?
All my relations still in Poland .
Is there any infidelity in your marriage?
We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player.
Does your wife beat you up?
No, I always up before her.
Is your wife a nagger?
No, she white.
Why do you want this divorce?
She going to kill me.
What makes you think that?
I got proof.
What kind of proof?
She going to poison me.
She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom.

For conservatives everywhere... Thanks Bob Looney!
Subject: Fwd: For conservatives everywhere ...
WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?
' My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.
Since Congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.
This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq . This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.
Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.
The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will distribute copies of both lists later this evening.
Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on "List 2" ceases indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.
THEN EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER It'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.
The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world "Hell holes" and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.
Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France ...
In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us again and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.
Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China .
I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France , and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades.
We are retiring from NATO as well.
I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow OR watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world.
I love New York .
A special note to our neighbors: Canada is on List 2. We could have used your help. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not ticking us off for a change.
Mexico is also on List 2. Its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment.
I will have a couple thousand extra tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to
put 'em? Yep, border security.
Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.
We are tired of this one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska -which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come.
If you're an environ-mentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.
It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn tootin.'
Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on this planet.. It is time to eliminate hunger in America.
It is time to eliminate homelessness
in America . To the nations on List 1,
a final thought. Thank you guys.
We owe you and we won't forget.
To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.
God bless America ...
Thank you and good night. '
If you can read this in English,
thank teacher and a soldier.

When insults had class... Thanks Judi Cole!

When Insults Had Class
These glorious insults are from an era before the
English language got boiled down to 4-letter words.
The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor:
She said, "If you were my husband I'd give you poison."
He said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."
A member of Parliament to Disraeli:
"Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease."
"That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether I embrace your policies
or your mistress."
"He had delusions of adequacy." - Walter Kerr
"He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire" -
Winston Churchill
"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great
pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

to the dictionary." - William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway).

"He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends." - Oscar Wilde
"I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a
friend .. if you have one."- George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill
"Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second .... if there is one."
- Winston Churchill, in response.
"I feel so miserable without you; it's almost like having you here." -
Stephen Bishop
"He is a self-made man and worships his creator." - John Bright
"I've just learned about his illness. Let's hope it's nothing trivial."
- Irvin S. Cobb
"He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others."
- Samuel Johnson
"He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up." - Paul Keating
"In order to avoid being called a flirt, she always yielded easily." -
Charles, Count Talleyrand
"He loves nature in spite of what it did to him." - Forrest Tucker
"Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?"
- Mark Twain
"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork." - Mae West
"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go"
- Oscar Wilde
"He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts.... for support
rather than illumination." - Andrew Lang

Forward Article Glenn Beck says his family was accosted while watching a movie in a New York City park Monday night. On his radio show and his website today, Beck described the incident and said an angry moviegoer kicked a glass of wine onto his wife Tania’s back, and as she got up to walk away, a man shouted: “We hate conservatives here.”
“We didn’t leave. My staff this morning said: ‘Why didn’t you leave right away.’ That was uncomfortable,” Beck said, as he described the incident, which occurred while he and his family were watching a screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The 39 Steps” in New York’s Bryant Park. “I said because I have a right to watch a movie and enjoy a movie with my family in the park. I have a right.”
Beck said while he doesn’t expect “a warm welcome in New York City,” what bothered him “was the cowardly behavior of the hateful crowd,” he wrote on his website, glennbeck.com.
“Courage doesn’t come from a bag or a bottle — courage doesn’t come in mobs,” Beck said. “Courage comes alone, quietly. You won’t be drunk and you won’t be in a mob at the ultimate test of courage. You will be alone.
“It’s mob mentality,” he said. “People are braver when it’s in a bag or a bottle, and when they’re in the majority. All I can think of about the people around me all night is that I feel sorry for you — I really feel sorry for you.
"You are so arrogant and so convinced that you are absolutely 100 percent right and you are helping build a system that is fueled by hate.
“I swear to you I think, if I had suggested, and I almost did, ‘Wow, does anybody have a rope? Because there’s tree here. You could just lynch me.’ And I think there would have been a couple in the crowd that would have.”

Warning From Holland... Thanks Dr. Hovermale!
Subject: FW: Fw: WARNING FROM HOLLAND ..
WARNING FROM HOLLAND ..
This Will Give You Cold Chills!
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.
With 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.
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.
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, polygmist, and had several marriages - at the same time. 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 with 72 virgins for
martyrs. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. 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.
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 Israel 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.
The end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would 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. 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 with atomic bombs.
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. 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 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.

WARNING FROM HOLLAND ..
This Will Give You Cold Chills!
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.
With 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.

John's chicken farm... Thanks Sarah Rapp!
John's Chicken Farm
John was in the egg business. He had several hundred young layers
(hens), called 'pullets', and ten roosters to fertilize them. He kept
records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them
to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from
a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the
porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the
bells.
John's favorite rooster, Obama, was a very fine specimen, but this
morning he noticed Obama's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to
investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets,
bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would
run for cover.
To John's amazement, Obama had thought of a way to do it without work,
he had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a
pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.
John was so proud of Obama, he entered him in the Chicago County Fair
and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded Obama the No Bell Piece
Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly Obama was a politician. Who else but a politician could figure
out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by
being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when
they weren't paying attention.
Vote carefully in 2012, the bells are not always audible.

she hits the nail on the head every time
Maxine poses an Obamacare question! Good Question!
Let me get this straight . . . ....
We're going to be "gifted" with a health care
plan we are forced to purchase and
fined if we don't,
Which purportedly covers at least
ten million more people,
without adding a single new doctor,
but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents,
written by a committee whose chairman
says he doesn't understand it,
passed by a Congress that didn't read it but
exempted themselves from it,
and signed by a President who smokes,
with funding administered by a treasury chief who
didn't pay his taxes,
for which we'll be taxed for four years before any
"benefits" take effect,
by a government which has
already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare,
all to be overseen by a surgeon general
who is obese,
and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!
What could

Smokey Gibson- 90 on 6-26-2011
Jeanie and I attended Smokey's ninetieth birthday party Sunday. He looked good, but stayed in a chair beside his walker. Many took turns visiting the wise gentleman. We visited mainly with Don and Lois Wallace. Alice, Smokey's son and others gave a magnificent partyon his behalf. Alice said seventy-seven were invited and I think at least fifty were there. Not bad for a ninety year old Portsmouth guy.
Earl Smokey Gibson
Just a few things I know about Coach Smokey Gibson:
He played on an undefeated Portsmouth High School football team (about 1939 or 1940)
He helped coach an undefeated football team in 1954 or 1955
He is a classy gentleman and very easy to befriend
He married Alice on the banks of the Ohio River in Portsmouth
He used to cop a few good stories from the internet
He is a tough guy but oh so gentle
He loves my hometown of Portsmouth Ohio
Roy Rogers uncle (Hono Sly) taught him fishing on the Ohio River
He is in excellent shape, I didn’t say perfect for a young guy of 90
Jack Horton, once one of Portsmouth’s toughest but gentlest street fighters, said Smokey was respected and not to be messed with for his SF abilities.
Jeanie and I are proud to have him as our friend
He obtained a BS and a MA from Eastern Kentucky University- then Eastern State Teacher’s College
He was a forward observer officer for the US Army in WWII
He drove me to Ironton to celebrate the 100th birthday of Portsmouth Spartan and Detroit Piston star Glenn Presnell
Alice is a good friend like Smokey
Smokey was the most loyal friend to General Tom Schulte in the months before his death

Words of wisdom,
If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and
learn how to use it.
Shooting Advice:
Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not to protect you.
Never let someone or thing that threatens you get inside arm’s length and never
say "I’ve got a gun". If you feel you need to use deadly force for heaven’s
sake let the "first sound they hear be the safety clicking off", and they
shouldn't have time to hear anything after that if you are doing your job.
'The average response time of a 911 call is over 23 minutes* the response time
of a .44 magnum is 1400 feet per second.'
Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is a drill instructor (Thunder Ranch is
a firearms training facility in Texas ). Here are a few of his observations on
tactics, firearms, self-defense and life as we know it in the civilized world.
"The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win and cheat if necessary."
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way.."
"Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. You may get killed with
your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it's going to
be empty."
"If you're not shooting', you should be loading'. If you're not loading', you
should be moving', if you're not moving', someone's going to cut your head off
and put it on a stick."
"When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back
pocket.. If you light yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the tooth
fairy... and you're going to be one of 'em pretty soon."
"Do something. It may be wrong, but do something."
"Shoot what's available, as long as it's available, until something else becomes
available."
"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid.. That's ridiculous. If you
have a gun, what in the hell do you have to be paranoid for?"
"Don't shoot fast, unless you also shoot good."
"You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work, but
I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the
universal language."
"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems.. How long you live
depends on how well you do it."
"You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your
family."
"Thunder Ranch will be here as long as you'll have us or until someone makes us
go away, and either way, it will be exciting."
More Excellent Gun Wisdom*
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The
sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than
either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but
because he loves what is behind him.' G. K. Chesterton
A people that values its privileges above its principles will soon lose both.

Why go to church? Bob Looney
WHY GO TO CHURCH??
If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this!
If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it.
If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!
Why Go To Church?
A Church go'r wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them.. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."
This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this.. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!
All right, now that you're done reading, send it on!
I think everyone should read this!
"When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you get that for me?"

MY JOURNEY
I walked one day with Pleasure.
We sang a lifting song.
But, at our parting, not a measure
’Remained to help my steps along
\
I walked one day with Sorrow,
The journey sad and long
But the faith she h ad for tomorrow
Left me with a song!
I walked one day the road alone,
Or so I thought I did,
But soon God’s love light shone.
My sadness disappeared, and hid
I know I’ll never walk alone.
For I can hold His hand
And when my burden seems a stone
On the rock of Faith I’ll stand!
W.R. Goodman

But the faith she h ad for tomorrow
Left me with a song!
I walked one day the road alone,
Or so I thought I did,
But soon God’s love light shone.
My sadness disappeared, and hid
I know I’ll never walk alone.
For I can hold His hand
And when my burden seems a stone
On the rock of Faith I’ll stand!

Harry and Bess... A worthy recycle- Thanks Tom & Carolyn!
Harry Truman is my brother, George's, favorite president. For me, it is Ronald Reagan. Nonetheless, they were each great politicians and served our country well!
Have to admire his stand on issues......
We will never see this again.
Thought you'd enjoy this!
It's one you want your Children and Grandchildren to read.
They won't believe this happened, but it DID.
Harry & Bess
Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.
The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there.
When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.
After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them.
When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale."
Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."
As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.
Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale (cf. Illinois ).
Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!
I say dig him up and clone him!
If you agree, forward it. If you don't, delete it. I don't want to know one way or the other. By me forwarding it, you know how I feel.
Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date!

Wealthy Americans on strike against o Thanks Sarah Rapp!
IN GOD WE TRUST
The 2012 Presidential election is most important!!!
Ayn Rand Was Right: Wealthy Are on Strike Against Obama
by Wayne Allyn Root
The U.S. economy is crumbling. Businesses are collapsing in record numbers. Jobs have disappeared. Tax revenues are down dramatically. Coincidence?
Everything happening today under Obama resembles the storyline of Ayn Rand’s famous book, Atlas Shrugged, one of the most popular books of all time, selling over 7 million copies. Now, under President Obama, Atlas Shrugged has come to life. Rand prophesized a country dominated by socialists, Marxists and statists, where looters, free loaders and poverty promoters live off the productive class. To rationalize the fleecing of innovative business owners and job creators, the looter class demonized the wealthy, just as Obama and his socialist cabal are doing in real life today.
The central plot of Atlas Shrugged is that in response to being demonized, over-taxed, over-regulated, and punished for success, America’s business owners were disappearing — dropping off the grid, and refusing to work 16-hour days to support those unwilling to put in the same blood, sweat and tears. They were going on strike. Because of that the original proposed title of “Atlas Shrugged” was “The Strike.”
They were going on strike to teach that civilization cannot survive when people are slaves to government. That without a productive class of innovative business owners willing to risk their own money and work 16-hour days, weekends and holidays, there are no jobs and no taxes to pay for government. If you punish the wealthy, the risk-takers, the innovators, you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. In Obama’s America, fiction is becoming fact.
The lesson of Atlas Shrugged is that without the $100,000+ earners paying into Social Security, there are no pensions for the poor and lower middle class. Without the wealthy owners of million-dollar mansions paying $25,000 and $50,000 annual property tax bills, there is no funding for public schools. Without the wealthy paying into Medicare, there is no “free” healthcare for the elderly. Without capitalists motivated by profit, there are no discoveries to eradicate polio or create miraculous cancer and AIDS drugs. Without capitalists motivated by profit, there are no jobs, period! That is what happens when the producers of society go on strike to protect themselves from the looters.
Ayn Rand was warning the looters that there are consequences to their overzealous actions. She was warning that if the productive classes felt used, demonized, ripped off, and taken for granted, they would go on strike — stop working, retire early, go underground, or move to places where achievement is celebrated and they feel appreciated.
The latest U.S. Census proves Ayn Rand right. Under Obama the wealthy are striking, voting with their feet. They are moving to low-tax red states in droves, escaping from high-tax blue states where they are being demonized and punished by the millions.
The Census proves that Obama’s tax and spend philosophy is a dismal failure, an economic disaster killing jobs. It is no coincidence that 1.9 million FEWER Americans are working than before Obama’s stimulus. It is no coincidence that jobs are not returning to the private sector. It is no coincidence that tax revenues have dropped dramatically and cannot support Obama’s bloated Big Brother government. The innovators, risk-takers, and wealthy he demonized and punished are on strike.
The high tech revolution has killed the progressive-liberal tax-and-spend dream. Because of the Internet, email, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Satellite TV, I-phones, I-pads, and cell phones, business owners are no longer prisoners of Big Brother. Take a look at states where the latest Census shows Americans moved during the past decade: Nevada, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alaska, Virginia — all low- or no-tax red states, states that lead the USA in economic freedom.
Now look at states they escaped from: New York, New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan. Taxpayers, business owners, jobs creators, retirees with assets are fleeing the high tax, big spending, Big Brother states — the states being run like Obama is running the nation.
Progressives be afraid, be very afraid. If Obama is re-elected, these valuable producers will pick up and leave America altogether. There is a big world out there begging them to come. Places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Monte Carlo, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Bahamas, and Cayman Islands are low-tax havens that appreciate business owners and their sacrifices. They welcome wealthy ex-patriots. They celebrate individual achievement. They reward instead of punish business owners and financial risk-takers. They are wonderful places to live and are aggressively pursuing Americans.
I am just one small businessman, a third-party Libertarian political leader. Yet I personally have heard from thousands of fans, friends and supporters who have left America, are thinking of leaving America, are visiting other countries right now to decide where to go, or making preparations to leave in case Obama is re-elected. Just as Ayn Rand predicted, business owners are going on strike. Permanently.
The high tech revolution has freed them to run their businesses from anywhere in the world. The same high tech tools and toys that toppled a powerful and invincible 30-year dictator in Egypt and now threaten to topple powerful leaders throughout the Arab world, also offer mobility and freedom to U.S. taxpayers. Obama better learn the lesson of Mubarek before millions more business people decide they do not need to put up with looters, free loaders, and politicians who despise them.
Atlas is shrugging. Ayn Rand is saying “I told you so.”

The Tree... Thanks Clay Vice!
It seems this story has been around before or maybe I have read it somewhere. I pray that it blesses you as it did me because of the message it carries! C.V.
Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, 'Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and
precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see
the beauty.'
Then the second tree said, 'Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take Kings and Queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel
safe in me because of the strength of my hull.'
Finally the third tree said, 'I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest Tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree
of all time and people will always remember me.'
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, 'This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter, 'and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree the woodsman said, 'This looks like a strong tree. I should be able to sell it to the shipyard.' The second tree was happy Because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, 'I don't need anything special from
my tree, I'll take this one,' and he cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.
The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end.
The third tree was cut into large pieces, and left alone in the dark.
The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.
Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and He stood and said 'Peace' and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, God will give you great gifts.
Each of the trees got what they wanted,
just not in the way they had imagined.
We don't always know what God's plans are for us. We just know that His Ways are
not our ways, but His ways are
always best.
Please keep this moving... Pass it on, so
God may inspire more people on The Way.
May your day be blessed. And until we meet again, may God cradle you in the palm of His hand.

Proud to be white... Thanks to friend, Clay, and others who think so
We'll go down together, Clay. And I respect so many of my black, brown, yellow, rainbow, and BLUE friends! My beautiful mother and great dad are white.

SENT TO ME BY A FRIEND. I think that he is FED UP WITH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS !! I certainly am !!
This is soooooo True !!! It's time somebody made the statement !!!!!
> Be Proud to be White
> This is interesting, I never really thought about it this way. (I also did not check it out to see if Richards actually said it and don't care, because the information contained is thought provoking)
> Be Proud to be White.........I am.... I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, and no other race is......
> Michael Richards makes his point...and whether we like it or not, he is telling the truth.
> Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.
> This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act.
> He makes some very interesting points...
> Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?
> There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
> And then there are just Americans.. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
> You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... And that's OK...
> But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. You call me a racist.
> You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you....
> So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
> You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.
> You have Black History Month.
> You have Cesar Chavez Day.
> You have Yom Hashoah.
> You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
> You have the NAACP.

> If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.
> We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commer ce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
> Wonder who pays for that??
> A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
> If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.
> There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US ..
> Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.
> In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.
> If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
> You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. < br>
> But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
> You rob us, car jack us, and shoot at us.
> But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
> I am proud...... But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists??
There is nothing improper about this e-mail..
> Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on.
> I sadly don't think many will.

Be Proud to be White
SENT TO ME BY A FRIEND. I think that he is FED UP WITH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS !! I certainly am !!
This is soooooo True !!! It's time somebody made the statement !!!!!
> Be Proud to be White
> This is interesting, I never really thought about it this way. (I also did not check it out to see if Richards actually said it and don't care, because the information contained is thought provoking)
> Be Proud to be White.........I am.... I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, and no other race is......
> Michael Richards makes his point...and whether we like it or not, he is telling the truth.
> Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.
> This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act.
> He makes some very interesting points...
> Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?
> There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
> And then there are just Americans.. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
> You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... And that's OK...
> But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. You call me a racist.
> You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you....
> So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
> You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.
> You have Black History Month.
> You have Cesar Chavez Day.
> You have Yom Hashoah.
> You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
> You have the NAACP.
> You have BET....
> If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists.
> If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
> If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
> If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.
> We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commer ce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
> Wonder who pays for that??
> A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
> If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.
> There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US ..
> Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.
> In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.
> If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
> You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. < br>
> But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
> You rob us, car jack us, and shoot at us.
> But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
> I am proud...... But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists??
There is nothing improper about this e-mail..

THE FLORIDA CODE
When giving directions in Florida , you should Always start
with the words, "take I-75 or take I-95..."
If you're a snowbird or a non-working retiree, you absolutely cannot drive between the hours of 6 AM and 10 AM and 4 PM and 7 PM. This is considered to be rush hour and you're not in any rush. No exceptions.
Freeways can only go north and south. Not east and west..
Tolls are a fact of life down here, the state has to make money so deal with it!
I-275 will always be under construction... that's the Law, there is nothing anyone can do about it, period!
A1A and ALT A1A are the same streets.
Traffic lights aren't timed and never will be.
We measure the distance you travel in time, not miles.
If you travel more than 5-10 miles on any road in any part of Florida without seeing an orange 'Bob's Barricade', you're lost!
If you miss your exit on I-75, I-4 or I-275, its perfectly acceptable to back up.
Every street in Florida has both a name and a number (i.e. Adamo = 60th,) just for the hell of it and for the pleasure we get from the reaction of visitors when we give them directions.
Once the light turns green, only 3 cars can go through the intersection, eight more go through on yellow, and 4 more on red.
Know the difference between Sun Pass , Sun Fest, Sun-Sentinel, and Sun Trust.
Flip flops, tank tops and baggy shorts are also known as business casual.
Your blinker means nothing.
English is our first and second language.
It is perfectly acceptable to brag about the size of your generator.
We have alligators here in Florida and they WILL bite You... Don't be stupid and try to feed or pet one.
When a hurricane is headed our way, even though you have advanced warning and you are told to be prepared, you're not a true Floridian unless you wait until the absolute last Minute to go to Home Depot to pick up plywood or to Publix to stock up water, ice, beer, and potato chips.
You know how to spell Okeechobee. There is an Okeechobee Blvd , Street, Avenue, Town, Lake and County.
A true Floridian does NOT own a boat. They make friends with someone who already owns one. That way you don't have to deal with any of the headaches.
You weren't born here. If you were, you're angry That everyone else moved here.
There's always a Walgreens across the street From a CVS on almost every corner - with more being built every day.
When picking up a woman on South Beach , always Check for an Adams apple.
It's normal to sweat when you are putting up your Holiday decorations.
There is a city called The Villages where 77,000 old people (now 85,000) drive golf carts and dance in the streets & have the highest STD rate in the Nation.
Jupiter is a city, not a planet.
Seniors have to do their errands during the weekdays. Not weeknights or weekends - that's for the working Folks.
There are three types of dolphins: Mahi-mahi, Flipper, and also one called a football team.
You can't say; 'this is how we did it up North. If you think that way, then go back. Just Remember
I-95 runs both ways.
No matter what they decide in Tallahassee you will never, ever be able to figure out your property taxes.
Learn how to dress in layers. It will be 95 degrees outside but inside any restaurant or business it's 65 Degrees.
There are three things you will need to survive a Florida Winter: A long sleeved T-shirt, sunscreen and the ability to mock all those extremely pale' visitors' with the Bright pink ' Florida tans'
The same neighbor who smiles at you every day will be the first one to rat you out if you are violating water restrictions.

At dawn the telephone rings, "Hello, Senor Rod? This is Ernesto, the
caretaker at your country house."
"Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?"
"Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor Rod, that your parrot, he
is dead".
"My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?"
"Si, Senor, that's the one."
"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he
die from?"
"From eating the rotten meat, Senor Rod."
"Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?"
"Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse."
"Dead horse? What dead horse?"
"The thoroughbred, Senor Rod."
"My prize thoroughbred is dead?"
"Yes, Senor Rod, he died from all that work pulling the water cart."
"Are you insane? What water cart?"
"The one we used to put out the fire, Senor."
"Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"
"The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught
on fire."
"What the hell? Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of
a candle?!"
"Yes, Senor Rod."
"But there's electricity at the house! What was the candle for?"
"For the funeral, Senor Rod."
"WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL??!!"
"Your wife's, Senor Rod". She showed up very late one night and I
thought she was a thief, so I hit her with your new Ping G15 204g titanium head
golf club with the TFC 149D graphite shaft."
SILENCE........... LONG SILENCE.........VERY LONG SILENCE.

Number 3
Proof that you can't underestimate the creativeness of Canadian boys for mischief.
Considering all the brilliant, devious minds we had in high school, I don't know how we missed doing this.
At a high school in Saskatchewan, a group of students played a prank....they let three goats loose inside the school.
But before turning them loose, they painted numbers on the sides of the goats: 1, 2, and 4.
School Administrators spent most of the day looking for No. 3.

Perspective - Thanks Sharon Lundy!
There was
a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She
hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always
there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see
the world, I will marry you.'
One day,
someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages
came off, she was able to see everything, including her
boyfriend.
He asked
her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The
girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was b lind. The
sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected
that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life
led her to refuse to marry him.
Her
boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her
saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before
they were yours, they were mine.'
This is
how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.
Life Is a
Gift
Today
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
Before
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat..
Before
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who went
too early to heaven..
Before
whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.
And when
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your face and think: you're alive and still around..
==========================
I PRAY
THIS MOVES AROUND
THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.....

Best prayer ever..
Relax your mind and humble your heart to focus on Christ. Allow God to be the only person on your mind while you read this prayer. If we can take the time to read long jokes, stories, etc., we should give the same respect to this prayer. Friends, who pray together, stay together.
If you pray this prayer, change the number.
Dear Lord, I thank you for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God.
And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak.. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe.
I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met..
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly..
This is my prayer.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
Don't ignore and God will bless you. Know that you are already blessed by the person who sent this to you.
