Truths ... Thx Dr. Ralph H!

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.

2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.

3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second hitter.

4) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.

5) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandma's lap.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jello to a tree.

2) Wrinkles don’t hurt.

3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts.

4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.

6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD:

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.

3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.

4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.

7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1) You believe in Santa Claus.

2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.

3) You are Santa Claus.

4) You look like Santa Claus.

SUCCESS: How true this one is:

At age 4 success is . . . ... Not piddling in your pants.

At age 12 success is ... . . Having friends. 

At age 17 success is ..... . Having a driver's license.

At age 35 success is . ... . Having money.

At age 50 success is . .. .. Having money.

At age 70 success is . ... . Having a driver’s license. 

At age 75 success is ... ... Having friends.

Since Barack Obama has been in the White House, high ranking
military officers have been removed from their positions at a rate
that is absolutely unprecedented. Things have gotten so bad
that a number of retired generals are publicly speaking out
about the 'purge' of the U.S. military that they believe is taking
place. As you will see below, dozens of highly decorated military
leaders have been dismissed from their positions over the
past few years. So why is this happening? What is going on right
now is absolutely crazy especially during a time of peace. Is there
a deliberate attempt to reshape the military and remove those
who don't adhere to the proper 'viewpoints' ? Does someone
out there feel a need to get officers that won't cooperate out
of the way?
Throughout world history, whatever comes next after a military
purge is never good. If this continues, what is the U.S. military
going to look like in a few years? Perhaps you are reading this and
you think that 'purge' is too strong a word for what is taking place. Well,
just consider the following quotes from some very highly
decorated retired officers:
-Retired Army Major General Paul Vallely:
The White House protects their own. That's why they stalled
on the investigation into fast and furious, Benghazi and
Obamacare. He's intentionally weakening and gutting our military,
Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the
ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.
-Retired Army Major General Patrick Brady: There is no doubt he
(Obama) is intent on emasculating the military and will fire anyone
who disagrees with him.
-Retired Army Lt. General William G. Jerry Boykin: Over the past three
years, it is unprecedented for the number of four-star generals to be
relieved of duty, and not necessarily relieved for cause.
-Retired Navy Captain Joseph John: I believe there are more than 137
officers who have been forced out or given bad evaluation reports
so they will never make Flag (officer), because of their failure to comply
to certain views.
A Pentagon official who asked to remain nameless because they were
not authorized to speak on the matter said even young officers, down
through the ranks have been told not to talk about Obama or the
politics of the White House. They are purging everyone and if you
want to keep your job just keep your mouth shut. Now this trend
appears to be accelerating.

General Vallely's comment:
Coincidence? Every communist regime on the planet did this as
soon as they gained power. I am doing my part by sending this
email, I hope you will do the same.

Paul (General Paul Vallely)
