I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out. ------------------------------------------------- I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now. ----------------------------------------------------- You can tell a lot about a woman's mood just by her hands. If they are holding a gun, she's probably angry. ----------------------------------------------- Gone are the days when girls used to cook like their mothers. Now they drink like their fathers. -------------------------------------------------------- You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body. ------------------------------------------------------------ I don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" get's thrown around in the courtroom. --------------------------------------------------- I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row ------------------------------------------------------- I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the jim this morning ------------------------------------------------------------- Dear paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers; if you find one, what's your plan?

Veterans Rumble! Please Read Inbox x ramey hoskins via comcast.net  4:23 PM (23 hours ago) to ============= Charlene Myers is one of my DAV buddies.  She helps me out with Operation Yellow Ribbon.  As a veteran, she is very pro military – maybe even more so than I am (if that’s possible).  Take the couple of minutes to read this, it will give you hope that we can change this around.                 It doesn't matter to me if you are a                 veteran or not.  Please read and forward this to all your                 e-mail buddies.  It needs to go viral.                 The 2014 United States elections will be                 held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014. During this midterm election                 year, all 435 seats in the United States House of                 Representatives and 33 of the 100 seats in the United States                 Senate will be contested in this election. Get out and                 VOTE!!!!)                 A movement has been started by our armed                 forces to get out the vote in 2014...They are organizing                 themselves, but this can be done by all of us. The President                 the Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of Engagement (ROE)                 so difficult, that our troops are often killed before they can                 even get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop our                 troops from being murdered by the Afghanis they are training                 either. Now, the President wants the US to sign                 on to the UNs International Criminal Court (ICC), which would                 allow the UN's ICC to arrest and try US troops for War Crimes,                 without the legal protections guaranteed under US Law, and from                 which there is no appeal. The President, with his Democratic                 control of the Senate, has nearly all the power.                 If the Non-Establishment Republicans,                 and Conservatives, can take back the Senate in 2014, our troops                 can once again be protected from unnecessary                 danger. Please consider this, and send it on to                 your mailing lists.                 Interestingly enough, when GWB was                 president you heard about the military deaths in Iraq  and                 Afghanistan almost daily. With Obama in the White House, the                 mainstream media has been strangely quiet. -                 More than 1,000 American soldiers have                 lost their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27 months. This is                 more than the combined total of the five years before that. Many                 have died since August. During the last six month, over 50                 additional NATO and US servicemen have been murdered, inside                 jobs by those who are hired to be a "force for good in                 Afghanistan."                 The commander in chief is AWOL. Not a                 peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at                 half-staff for the Sikhs that were killed. There is a deep                 disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against                 the indifferent incompetence of this president.                 It has taken on a dangerous tone. No one                 knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep as the                 deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of                 this war. Obama has had 5 years to end this futile insanity,                 during which time he has vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and                 generally ignored the plight of our men and women in uniform                 But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to                 launch a massive get out the vote drive against this president's                 party. Not just current active duty types, but the National                 Guard, Reserves, the retired, and all other prior service                 members. This is no small special interest group, but many                 millions of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the                 outcome of the November 2014 mid-term election, if they all                 respond.                 The one million military retirees in                 Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in that state                 if they all show up at the polls. It might not keep another one                 hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and November, buta                 turnout to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack                 of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a                 change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just                 lets our soldiers die.                 Veterans:                 Please forward to your                 lists. High                 Priority! R. Michael "Mike" Sand, PIO VVA Detroit Chapter 9

This is beautiful regarding death ... Thx Marge R!

 

 

 This really is the most beautiful explanation of death I've ever heard.

~DEATH~ 
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT 


A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to

Leave the examination room and said,

'Doctor, I am afraid to die.

Tell me what lies on the other side..'

Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know..'

'You don't know? You're, a Christian man,

and don't know what's on the other side?'

The doctor was holding the handle of the door;

On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,

And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room

And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said,

'Did you notice my dog?

He's never been in this room before.

He didn't know what was inside..

He knew nothing except that his master was here,

And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.

I know little of what is on the other side of death,

But I do know one thing...

I know my Master is there and that is enough.'

(sorry - cannot break this) 
May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly

Where you are meant to be.. 

I believe that friends are quiet angels


Who lift us to our feet when our wings


Have trouble remembering how to fly. 

Just pass this on... 
Do not break this, PLEASE!!!!!

Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity ... Thx Judi! Yeah- We stupid voters who are givers rather than takers

May be a repeat, but still good!

Top Ten . . .

Subject: Top Ten . . .

This is Canada's Top Ten List of America's Stupidity.

Can you blame them for writing this?

Number 10) Only in America...could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 per plate campaign fund-raising event.

Number 9) Only in America ...could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black 40+% of all federal entitlements goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!

Number 8) Only in America...could they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

Number 7) Only in America...can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media and liberals react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

Number 6) Only in America...would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens (probably should be number one).

Number 5) Only in America....could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."

Number 4) Only in America...could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check, board an airplane or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

Number 3) Only in America...could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. Oil company(Marathon Oil) averages 12% profit and they take all the risk and the US government takes by force 18.4% to 24.4% in gas tax for taking zero risk and doing absolutely nothing for that revenue other than creating a law to force the oil companies to give it to them. So the government makes 6% to 12% more profit than the oil companies themselves on gas sales for doing absolutely nothing but using force.

Number 2) Only in America....could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and the left complains that it still doesn't have nearly enough money for all their programs.

And Number 1) Only in America...could the so called "rich people" who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all .

DON'T KEEP THIS - SEND IT OUT TO YOUR LIST.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier ... Thx Gary I!

This is something that every American should know..

 

Most of you who receive this have the "option" of forwarding this on.  Some of us do not consider

it an "option" but consider it an "honor" to share this information by forwarding this email every time

we receive it.  We're proud of our men and women who have served, who do serve and who will

serve no matter where they may be....Amen
 
God Bless and keep them.
  

ARLINGTON CEMETERY Jeopardy Question:  On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was "How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns?" All three contestants missed it!  This  is really an awesome sight to watch if you've  never had the chance ... Fascinating.  Tomb  of the Unknown Soldier 1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why? 21 steps:  It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.  2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why? 21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1 3. Why are his gloves wet? His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle. 4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time and, if not, why not? He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.  5. How often are the guards changed? Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. 6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to?  For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30. They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin. The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror. The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery .... A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe Lewis {the boxer} Medal of Honor winner Audie L. Murphy, the most decorated soldier of WWII and of Hollywood fame. Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty.. ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM. In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington , DC , our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!" Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a service person. The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930. God Bless and keep them. I'd be very proud if this email reached as many as possible. We can be very proud of our men and women in the service no matter where they serve. God Bless America

We belong and will vote in 2014! ... Thx Sarah R!

YOU & I ARE MEMBERS, DON'T DELETE!



Folks

I received this last week while I was at the PCA General Assembly in Houston.  There is something to be said for it.  Enjoy

PRG


YOU & I ARE MEMBERS, DON'T DELETE!


THIS IS WORTH READING TO THE END. PLEDGE TO JOIN THIS 'GREY BRIGADE'
WE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!! PASS IT
ON!!!

The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net
worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35,
according to an analysis of census data released Monday. If all of us
old farts have all of the money, then let us try to elect someone who
might be near honest and not be after feathering their own nests.

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in
some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to
retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little
slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once
were. We have worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and
grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over
the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off
completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into
consideration.

In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us
to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what
outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the
days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk being
delivered .A few even remember when cars,tractors and trucks were
started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.

We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many. But there
are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us
off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam . We can quote
The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing
so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many
friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States
of America ; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the
Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We know
the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America , and America the
Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our
cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read in
history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for
America ..

Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one
good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and
died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and
nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend
America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath
we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love
but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the
Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in
reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies."

You have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you
don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too
interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be
involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of
those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's
remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense
enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' Now
you're paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs, lost
mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.

This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with
the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy
house.

Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2014
we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower
than you would like but we get where we're going, and in 2014 we're
going to the polls by the millions.

This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It belongs to "We the People" and "We the
People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time
you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our
grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge
of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our
country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Grey-Haired
Brigade."

Footnote:
This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will
circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great
county.

Can you feel the ground shaking??? It's not an earthquake, it is a
STAMPEDE.
