Profound reply re- First Christmas Card ... Thanks Jack Plymale!

Sam,today reminds me that, I spent four months short of four years during two separate wars( pardon me, I think wars is too strong a word,in the last one all the people killed were in a POLICE ACTION) in the service. Navy and army. I still enjoy the Christmas Holidays and celebration of the birth of Jesus,but because bad memories it is saddened, somewhat by a memory of those who will never know another birthday because of political folly.'''''''''''''" Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead are hardly more than boys(Author unknown). I wish armistice day were a week or so after Christmas.. Jack P.

Catching wild pigs ,,, thanks Ron Walters & Happy birthday this

Subject: Fw: Catching Pigs


CATCHING PIGS





There was a chemistry professor in a large college

that had some exchange students in the class. One day

while the class was in the lab, the Prof noticed one

young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his

back and stretching as if his back hurt.







The professor asked the young man what was the matter.

The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back.







He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying







to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime.

In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor

and asked a strange question He asked:





"Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"



The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the

punch line. The young man said that it was no joke.

"You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in

the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs

find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free

corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put

a fence down one side of the place where they are used

to coming.









When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the

corn again and you put up another side of the fence.

They get used to that and start to eat again. You

continue until you have all four sides of the fence up

with a gate in the last side.







The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to

come through the gate to eat that free corn again.

You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole

herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom.

They run around and around inside the fence, but they

are caught.







Soon they go back to eating the free corn . They are so used to it that they have







forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."









The young man then told the professor that is exactly

what he sees happening in America .. The government

keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps

spreading the free corn out in the form of programs

such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned

income, , tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies,

dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP),

welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually

lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.









One should always remember two truths:

1) There is no such thing as a free lunch, someone is

paying for it

2) and when you begin to think that having your government

provide for you and make your decisions is ok, realize that you have







also given up the freedom that goes with making your own choices.



If you see that all of this wonderful government

'help' is a problem confronting the future of

democracy in America , you might want to send this on

to your friends.

If you think the free ride is essential to your way of

life, then you will probably delete this email.



But God help you when the gate slams shut!

Traffic Stop ... Thanks Marge Rusnak!

NOAH TODAY

In the year 2011, the Lord came unto Noah,

Who was now living in Buffalo and said:

"Once again, the earth has become wicked and over

-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me."

"Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing

Along with a few good humans."

He gave Noah the blueprints, saying:

"You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will



Start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."





Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah

Weeping in his yard - but no Ark."Noah!," He roared, "I'm about to start the rain!

Where is the Ark?"

"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed."





"I needed a Building Permit."







"I've been arguing with the Boat Inspector

About the need for a sprinkler system."



"My neighbors claim that I've violated the

Neighborhood By-Laws by building the Ark in my

Back garden and exceeding the height limitations. We had to

Go to the Local Planning Committee for a variance."





"Then the Local Council and the Electricity Company demanded a shed load of money for the future



costs of moving power

lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the

Passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I told them

That the sea would be coming to us, but they would

Hear nothing of it."







"Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban

On cutting local trees in order to save the Greater Spotted Barn Owl."

"I tried to convince the environmentalists that I

Needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!"





"When I started gathering the animals the RSPCA took me to court. They insisted that I was

Confining wild animals against their will. They

Argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and

It was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in

A confined space."



"Then the Environmental Agency ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted



an environmental impact study on your proposed flood."



"I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the





Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm

Supposed to hire for my building crew."



"Immigration are checking the

Visa status of most of the people who want to work."



"The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They

Insist I have to hire only Union workers with

Ark-building experience."



"To make matters worse, the Inland Revenue seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country



Illegally with endangered species."



"So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10

Years for me to finish this Ark."







"Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine,

And a rainbow stretched across the sky."











Noah looked up in wonder and asked,

"You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"





"No," said the Lord.

" The Government beat me to it."

I am Tea Party, but I, Too, will donate, Bob!

Subject: I pledge to donate to this cause




A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington, DC. Nothing was moving.



Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?"



"Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they're asking for a $100 million ransom. Otherwise they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations."



"How much is everyone giving, on average?" the driver asks.



The man replies, "Roughly a gallon."

First Christmas Card. Thanks Sarah Rapp!

FIRST CHRISTMAS CARD






Cleverly done!!!







Twas the Month before Christmas







Twas the month before Christmas





When all through our land,





Not a Christian was praying





Nor taking a stand.





See the PC Police had taken away





The reason for Christmas - no one could say.





The children were told by their schools not to sing





About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.





It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say





December 25th is just a ' Holiday'.





Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit





Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!





CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod





Something was changing, something quite odd!





Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa





In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.





As Targets were hanging their trees upside down





At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.





At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears





You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.





Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty





Are words that were used to intimidate me.





Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen





On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!





At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter





To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.





And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith





Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace





The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded





The reason for the season, stopped before it started.





So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'





Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.





Choose your words carefully, choose what you say





Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS,





not Happy Holiday!





Please, all Christians join together and





wish everyone you meet





MERRY CHRISTMAS





Christ is The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!





If you agree please forward, if not, simply delete.

It sounds as if blame is on the lefty progressives, Sarah.  Is there any wonder why?  The 14 % is wagging the tail of we 86%.  They have taken too much advantage of our 'other cheek'.
We need peaceful but strong-willed resistance with an active voice to bring back our efforts to be a Christian nation.
