Christian Seniors Irony World Politics
This is Christian Seniors Irony World Politics converted in to a word document.
I've zipped up the file.
You should be able to download this file, open it up and see the word document inside.
Jason,
I have 'viewed' and the document ends with these few posts: I don't believe all got into it. MNo cover either. I, as the nonp-nerd you know me to be, need the cover (jpg) and document ready to get e-published. Any suggestions?
Unfolding before our eyes- Thanks Sarah Rapp!

A German's view on Islam - very interesting!
A German's View on Islam
------------------------------
A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.
"Very few people were true Nazis," he said, "but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen.
Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything.. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories."
We are told again and again by "experts" and "talking heads" that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant.
It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The hard quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the "silent majority," is cowed and extraneous.
Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people.. The peaceful majority was irrelevant.
China 's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a war mongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel and bayonet.
And who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were "peace loving"?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.
As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts: the fanatics who threaten our way of life.
Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on is contributing to the passivity that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world wide, read this and think about it, and send it on before it's too late.
And remember, the first thing the fanatics will do to the silent majority, is to disarm them.

Monday, January 11, 2010 SMART ASS:
Two young businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break
in their soon-to-be new store in the shopping mall. As yet, the store
wasn't ready, with only a few shelves and display racks set up. One said to the other, "I'll bet that any minute now some senior
is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we're selling." Sure enough, just a moment later, a curious senior gentleman walked
up to the window, looked around intensely and rapped on the glass,
then in a loud voice asked, "What are you sellin' here?"
One of the men replied sarcastically, "We're selling ass-holes."
Without skipping a beat, the old timer said, "You're doing well. Only two left."
Seniors -- don't mess with them, they've been around!

Subject: From Westerville, Ohio
I HAD AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR THIS MORNING. HE ARRIVED EARLY, SAT DOWN WITH ME AND CHATTED FOR A WHILE ABOUT HOW THINGS WERE CURRENTLY GOING FOR ME IN MY LIFE. AFTER VERY CAREFULLY AND COMPASSIONATELY LISTENING TO ALL THAT I HAD TO SAY, HE SAW THE STRESS ON MY FACE AND THE TEARS IN MY EYES.
HE STOOD UP, WALKED OVER TO ME, LEANED OVER AND GENTLY HELD ME FOR AWHILE BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A REALLY BAD MORNING. THEN, AFTER REASSURING ME NOT TO WORRY, THAT EVERYTHING WOULD WORK OUT FOR ME AND BE JUST FINE, HE ASKED ME IF IKNEW OF ANYONE ELSE THAT COULD USE A VISIT FROM HIM.
I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF YOUMY FRIEND. I GAVE HIM YOUR NAME AND
TOLD HIM WHERE YOU LIVED. HE GAVE ME ANOTHER REASSURING HUG, THANKED ME AND I WALKED WITH HIM TO MY FRONT DOOR. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO YOUR PLACE..

When He gets to your PC, escort Him to the next stop. Please don't allow Him to sleep on your PC. The message He is carrying is very important and needs to go around. I asked him to bless you and yours with peace, happiness and abundance.
Say a prayer, and then pass Him on to bless others as I sent him on to bless you. Our assignment is to spread love, respect and kindness throughout the world.
Have a blessed day and touch somebody's life today as hopefully I have touched your life. He's walking around the world via e-mail!! Please pass it on so He can get there....Be sure and put your town in the subject box to let others know where He left from.
Cory's Injuries- Early Monday 1-18-10 From Sam
Monday, January 18, 2010
AOL EmailMarge, I know that you have come through the brain surgery ordeal and it wasn't easy. Of course this boy is probably 16 and you were an early 60's girl.
We were at the hospital yesterday and the dad, Mickey Lundy had just been encouraged by the brain surgeon's opinionthat Cory was showing good vitals and brain activity. You probably know that the first 72 hours after a head injury to the brain are extremely important. The accident occurred at about 5:15 PM Friday so that tomorrow evening will mark the first 72 hours. Cory was doing so well yesterday that they began weaning him away from so much medicine to help him gain consciousness out of the coma. However, in a couple of hours, they had to restore the medication because he was regaining too quickly and trying to get out of his restraints.
Mickey took Jeanie and me into Cory's private ICU room. He is lying there unconscious as he has been since the accident. He doesn't look badly cut up, but has a swollen shiner on his right eye and a tube coming off the top of this head. Of course his head has a turban bandage. The stomach opening showed no apparent damage, but he has a couple of broken facial bones which they don't believe will require surgery. His left eye is swollen but not blue like the right one. His arms and legs appear to have no serious damage.
Laramie, Cory's mother's brother, Chad stayed with him through Saturday night so that Mick and Laramie could go home for some rest. He said that at one point the nurse had him hold Cory's arms down and he opened the left eye but was otherwise not responsive.
There is such a demonstrated evidence of his school and community support that my sisters Sharon and Sandy are buoyed up by their love. The waiting room was full of young classmates and friends. Likewise We obviously are and appreciate the concerns of our email friends. Laramie mentioned there was even some email response from as far as Barcelona, Spain.
Mick and Laramie expect a busy day today as the surgeons want them in the room when the youngster comes out of the coma. Prayers are bringing encouragement to the family. Please continue. Our Lord knows and does best in each situation.
