This PUSA is after votes so that he can further damage our country. Vote him and his ilk out of there!
Sam
OMG, I hope our Country can survive until Nov. 2012 and then pray between then and Jan. 20th of 2013 he doesn't complete the destruction...... Please pass this on....
So much for his transparency....
Move this one forward. The nation needs to know what the president is doing! Twice blocked by Congress!
Dream Act: Obama passes amnesty by executive order
Written by Gil Guignat Border & Immigration, Breaking News, Featured Jun 23, 2011
Last Friday, with no fanfare, no press coverage, and with every effort made to hide his actions from the American people, President Obama enacted the DREAM Act by executive order.
Opposed by a majority of the American people and twice defeated in Congress, the DREAM Act grants amnesty to any illegal alien residing in the United States if s/he agrees to enlist in the U.S. military or enter college.
The Obama administration memo from the John Morton, Director of I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) directs I.C.E. agents now to use “prosecutorial discretion” with regard to enforcing immigration laws.
Director Morton says that Obama Administration policy directs border patrol agents not to enforce immigration laws: “When ICE favorably exercises prosecutorial discretion, it essentially decides not to assert the full scope of the enforcement authority available to the agency.”
You read that right. According to the Obama administration “favorable” enforcement means NOT enforcing the law!
According to one of the first press reports to break this important story, the new Obama policy is cut and dry: “federal immigration officials do not have to deport illegal aliens if they are enrolled in any type of education program, if their family members have volunteered for U.S. military service, or even if they are pregnant or nursing.”
Arizona and the voter ID law
Just recently Obama’s Department of Justice (DOJ) blocked Arizona from enforcing its voter ID law. Arizona is one if not the biggest portal of illegal immigration in the nation with half a million illegal aliens coming through the sate annually. Arizona ’s Attorney General Tom Horne recently stated that he believed that blocking of the law facilitated massive voter fraud by illegal aliens.
“Attorney General Tom Horne accused the Obama administration Tuesday of trying to thwart Arizona ’s voter-ID laws in a bid to get more illegal immigrants to the polls — presumably to cast ballots for the president and Democrats.
Horne acknowledged that a brief filed by the Department of Justice in a case to be heard next month by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals centers around the agency’s argument that Arizona’s law requiring proof of citizenship to register is pre-empted by federal law. But Horne, a Republican, told Capitol Media Services he sees something more sinister.” More…
The 2012 presidential elections
First we have amnesty passed by executive order then we have President Obama’s DOJ blocking voter ID in Arizona . What could possibly be the president’s motive? If you wish to review the entire immigration directive click here.
This story has the potential to bring the Obama Administration to its knees. The momentum can be on our side and just e-mailing it to others can create a critical mass. Don’t assume you have no power. You do!

Does Esperanto avoid these John?

You think English is easy???
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce .
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present ..
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row .
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ?
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this .
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.'
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report ?
We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP !
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP .
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP...
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so........it is time to ShutUP!

The farmer next door ... Larry the Cable Guy
Thank Doug Brooke!
Advice From Larry ~
The Farmer Next Door
Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in our country lately: Illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida . . . .
Not me -- I concentrate on solutions for the problems -- it's a win-win situation.
* Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.
* Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levees.
* Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.
Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?
Think about this:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
COWS:
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country! Maybe we should give each of them a cow!!
THE CONSTITUTION:
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq ... why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS:
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this -- you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians ....... it creates a hostile work environment!
Also, think about this ... if you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone -- YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

Tuesday, July 19, 2011 Labels Seniors No matter what our kids
and the new generation think about us,
WE ARE AWESOME !!!
OUR Lives are LIVING
PROOF !!!
To Those of Us Born
1925 - 1970 :
At the end
of this email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno. If you don't read anything else,
please
read what he
said.
Very well stated,
Mr. Leno.
~~~~~~~~~
TO ALL THE
KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930s, '40s, '50s,
'60s and '70s!!
First, we survived
being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank
while they were
pregnant.
They took aspirin,
ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then, after that
trauma, we were
put to sleep
on our tummies
in baby cribs
covered
with bright colored
lead-based paints.
We had no
childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets,
and, when we
rode our bikes,
we had baseball
caps,
not helmets, on
our heads.
As infants and
children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts,
no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes..
Riding in the
back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water
from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one
soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes,
white bread, real butter, and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.
And we weren't overweight.
WHY?
Because we were
always outside playing...that's why!
We would leave
home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights
came on.
No one was
able to reach us all day.
--And, we were
OKAY.
We would spend
hours building
our go-carts out
of scraps
and then ride
them down the hill,
only to find
out we forgot the brakes.. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned
to solve the problem..
We did not
have Play Stations, Nintendos and X-boxes. There were
no video games,
no 150 channels on cable,
no video movies
or DVDs,
no surround-sound or
CDs,
no cell phones,
no personal computers,
no Internet and
no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS
and we went
outside and found them!
We fell out
of trees, got cut,
broke bones and
teeth,
and there were
no lawsuits
from those accidents.
We would get
spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping-pong paddles, or just a bare hand,
and no one would call child services to report abuse.
We ate worms,
and mud pies
made from dirt,
and
the worms did
not live in us forever.
We were given
BB guns for our 10th birthdays, 22 rifles for our 12th, rode horses,made up games with sticks and tennis balls, and
-although we were
told it would happen- we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes
or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just
walked in and talked to them.
Little League had
tryouts
and not everyone
made the team.
Those who didn't
had to learn
to deal with
disappointment.
Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing
us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have
produced some of the best risk-takers,
problem solvers, and
inventors ever.
The past 50
to 85 years have seen an explosion of innovation and new ideas..
We had freedom,
failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are
one of those born
between 1925-1970, CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want
to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids before the lawyers
and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.
While you are
at it, forward it to your kids, so they will know how brave and lucky their parents
were.
Kind of makes
you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?

"With hurricanes, tornados,
fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the
country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist
attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"
For those that
prefer to think that God is not watching over us...go ahead and delete this.
For the rest
of us.....
please pass this
on.

"With hurricanes, tornados,

At the end
of this email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno. If you don't read anything else,
please
read what he
said.
Very well stated,
Mr. Leno.
~~~~~~~~~
TO ALL THE
KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930s, '40s, '50s,
'60s and '70s!!
First, we survived
being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank
while they were
pregnant.
They took aspirin,
ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then, after that
trauma, we were
put to sleep
on our tummies
in baby cribs
covered
with bright colored
lead-based paints.
We had no
childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets,
and, when we
rode our bikes,
we had baseball
caps,
not helmets, on
our heads.
As infants and
children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts,
no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes..
Riding in the
back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water
from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one
soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes,
white bread, real butter, and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.
And we weren't overweight.
WHY?
Because we were
always outside playing...that's why!
We would leave
home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights
came on.
No one was
able to reach us all day.
--And, we were
OKAY.
We would spend
hours building
our go-carts out
of scraps
and then ride
them down the hill,
only to find
out we forgot the brakes.. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned
to solve the problem..
We did not
have Play Stations, Nintendos and X-boxes. There were
no video games,
no 150 channels on cable,
no video movies
or DVDs,
no surround-sound or
CDs,
no cell phones,
no personal computers,
no Internet and
no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS
and we went
outside and found them!
We fell out
of trees, got cut,
broke bones and
teeth,
and there were
no lawsuits
from those accidents.
We would get
spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping-pong paddles, or just a bare hand,
and no one would call child services to report abuse.
We ate worms,
and mud pies
made from dirt,
and
the worms did
not live in us forever.
We were given
BB guns for our 10th birthdays, 22 rifles for our 12th, rode horses,made up games with sticks and tennis balls, and
-although we were
told it would happen- we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes
or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just
walked in and talked to them.
Little League had
tryouts
and not everyone
made the team.
Those who didn't
had to learn
to deal with
disappointment.
Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing
us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have
produced some of the best risk-takers,
problem solvers, and
inventors ever.
The past 50
to 85 years have seen an explosion of innovation and new ideas..
We had freedom,
failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are
one of those born
between 1925-1970, CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want
to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids before the lawyers
and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.
While you are
at it, forward it to your kids, so they will know how brave and lucky their parents
were.
Kind of makes
you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ?

Puns for the educated ... Thanks Ramey!
Especially for special pun lovers:
1. King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates , the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan.
Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."
"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested. "Don't you know who I am? I am the king!"
Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."
---------------------
2. Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. Unfortunately, all the Swiss league records were destroyed in a fire, ...and so we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.
---------------------
3. A man rushed into a busy doctor's surgery and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down.. You'll just have to be a little patient."
---------------------
4. Back in 1849 the Tate Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products, and since they already made the cases for watches, they used them to produce compasses. The new compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California ..
This, of course, is the origin of the expression -- "He who has a Tate's is lost!"
----------------------
5. An Indian chief was feeling very sick, so he summoned the medicine man. After a brief examination, the medicine man took out a long, thin strip of elk rawhide and gave it to the chief, telling him to bite off, chew, and swallow one inch of the leather every day. After a month, the medicine man returned to see how the chief was feeling. The chief shrugged and said, "The thong is ended, but the malady lingers on."
----------------------
6. A famous Viking explorer returned home from a voyage and found his name missing from the town register. His wife insisted on complaining to the local civic official, who apologized profusely saying, "I must have taken Leif off my census."
----------------------
7. There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin, and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant. The first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This just goes to prove that... the sons of the squaw of the hippopotamus hide is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides. (Some of you may need help with this one).
-----------------------
8. A skeptical anthropologist was cataloging South American folk remedies with the assistance of a tribal elder who indicated that the leaves of a particular fern were a sure cure for any case of constipation. When the anthropologist expressed his doubts, the elder looked him in the eye and said, "Let me tell you, with fronds like these, you don't need enemas."

Doctors compare ... Thanks Sarah Rapp!
A doctor from Israel says: "In Israel , the medicine is so advanced that we cut off a mans testicles, put them on another man and in 6 weeks, he is looking for work"
The German doctor comments: "That's nothing, in Germany we take part of a brain from one man, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks, he is looking for work"
A Russian doctor says: Russia has you beat, Gentlemen We take out half a heart from one,put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks, he is looking for work."
The United States doctor answers and laughs: "You all are way behind us. 2 years ago in the USA , we took a man with no brains, no heart and no balls, put him in as President. Now, the whole damn country is looking for work!!!

Reverse erectile disfunction ... er, uh, Thanks Clay!
Clay ... good friend. I try hard to keep this blog clean. You send me these slightly off-color things which I, being weak, use. You must admit it is neither scarlet and gray, nor blue and white, but I must admit it is funny!
Thanks!

Those dang 4 hour erections
What happens when you ask for help with an erection lasting more than 4 hours?
Jim Bob walked into a drug store in Kentucky and asked to talk to a male pharmacist. The woman he was talking to said that she was the only pharmacist and as she and her sister owned the store, there were no male employees. She then asked if she could help him. Earl said that it was something that he would be much more comfortable discussing with a male pharmacist. The lady pharmacist assured him that she was completely professional and whatever it was that he needed to discuss, he could be confident that she would treat him with a high level of professionalism.
Jim Bob then agreed and began by saying, 'This is tough for me to discuss, but I get erections every day that last more than four hours. It causes me a lot of problems and severe embarrassment, and I was wondering what you could give me for it.'
The pharmacist said, 'Just a minute, I'll talk to my sister.'
When she returned, she said,
"We discussed it at length and this is the absolute best we can do.
1/3 ownership in the store, a company pickup truck, a king size bed and $3,000 a month in living expenses.
Thanks!
