For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Sheriff Joe is at it again! ... Thx Marge R!

SHERIFF
JOE IS AT IT AGAIN !
You may
remember Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, who
painted the jail cells pink and made the inmates
wear pink prison garb.
Well.........
SHERIFF
JOE IS AT IT AGAIN !

Oh, there's MUCH
more to know about Sheriff Joe !


Maricopa County was spending approx. $18
million dollars a year on stray animals, like
cats and dogs. Sheriff Joe offered to take the
department over, and the County Supervisors said
okay.
The animal shelters are now all
staffed and operated by prisoners. They feed and
care for the strays. Every animal in his care is
taken out and walked twice daily. He now has
prisoners who are experts in animal nutrition
and behavior. They give great classes for anyone
who'd like to adopt an animal. He has literally
taken stray dogs off the street, given them to
the care of prisoners, and had them place in dog
shows.

The
best part? His budget for the entire department
is now under $3 million. Teresa and I adopted a
Weimaraner from a Maricopa County shelter two
years ago. He was neutered and current on all
shots, in great health, and even had a microchip
inserted the day we got him. Cost us $78.

The prisoners get the benefit of about
$0.28 an hour for working, but most would work
for free, just to be out of their cells for the
day. Most of his budget is for utilities,
building maintenance, etc. He pays the prisoners
out of the fees collected for adopted animals.


I have long wondered when the rest of
the country would take a look at the way he runs
the jail system and copy some of his ideas. He
has a huge farm, donated to the county years
ago, where inmates can work, and they grow most
of their own fresh vegetables and
food, doing
all the work and harvesting by hand.

He
has a pretty good sized hog farm, which provides meat and
fertilizer.  It fertilizes the
Christmas tree nursery, where prisoners work, and you
can buy a living Christmas tree for $6 - $8 for
the holidays and plant it later. We have six
trees in our yard from the prison.

Yup, he was re-elected last year with 83% of the
vote.
Now he's in trouble with the ACLU
again. He painted all his buses and vehicles
with a mural that has a special hotline phone number   
painted on it, where you can call and report
suspected illegal aliens. Immigrations and
Customs Enforcement wasn't doing enough in his
eyes, so he had 40 deputies trained specifically
for enforcing immigration laws, started up his
hotline, and bought 4 new buses just for hauling
folks back to the border. He's kind of a
'Git-R-Dun' kind of Sheriff.


TO THOSE OF
YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO..

HE IS
THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF

AND
HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND
OVER.

THIS
IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:

Sheriff Joe
Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the 'Tent City
Jail':
** He has jail meals down to 40 cents
a serving and charges the inmates for them.

** He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jail.
** Took away their weights.
** Cut off all but 'G' movies.
** He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on
county and city projects.

** Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued
for discrimination.

** He took away
cable TV until he found out there was a federal
court order that required cable TV for jails, so
he hooked up the cable TV
again.....BUT
 only let
in the Disney channel and the Weather channel.


** When asked why the weather channel,
he replied, "So they will know how hot it's
gonna be while they are working on my chain
gangs."

** He cut off coffee since it
has zero nutritional value.

** When the
inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't
The Ritz/Carlton...... If you don't like it,
don't come back."


More
On The Arizona Sheriff:

With temperatures being even hotter than usual in
Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the

Associated Press reports:
About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent
encampment at the Maricopa County jail have been
given permission to strip down to their government-issued
pink boxer shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing
boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds
or chatted in the tents, which reached 138
degrees inside the week before.

Many
were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat
collected on their chests and dripped down to
their PINK SOCKS.

"It feels like we are
in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an inmate who
has lived in the TENTS for 1 year. "It's inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago
started making his prisoners wear pink and eat
bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic.
He said Wednesday that he told all of the
inmates, "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our
soldiers are living in tents too, and they have
to wear full battle gear, but they didn't commit
any crimes, so shut your mouths!"

Way to
go, Sheriff !

Maybe if all prisons were
like this one there would be a lot less crime
and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be
punished for their crimes - not live in luxury
until it's time for their parole, only to go out
and commit another crime so they can get back in
to live on taxpayers' money and enjoy things
taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.

If
you agree, pass this on.
If not, just delete it......but why would you do that?
