Baptist Cowboy

A cowboy, who is visiting Wyoming from Texas , walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.

The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, 'You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.'

The cowboy replies, 'Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona , the other is in Colorado . When we all left our home in Texas , we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself.'

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.

The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.

One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, 'I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.'

The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs.

'Oh, no, everybody's just fine, ' he explains, 'It's jus t that my wife and I joined the Baptist Churchand I had to quit drinking.'

'Hasn't affected my brothers though.

Thanks Carol and Clay vice!

HOW IS NORMA?......this is hilarious!

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph 's Hospital. She timidly asked,
'Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a pat ient is
doing?'

The operator said, 'I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room
number?'

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, 'Norma Findlay Room 302.'

The operator replied, 'Let me place you on hold while I check with her
nurse. After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said,
'Oh, I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very
well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as
normal, and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged
on Tuesday.'

The grandmother said, 'Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried!
God bless you for the good news.'

The operator replied, 'You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?'

The grandmother said, 'No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me shit.'

True Story.


Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Subject: I will NOT unite behind Big O




AS I PASS THIS ON TO MANY IN MY ADDRESS BOOK, I AM AWARE OF THE FACT THAT
SOME DAY I MAY NOT AS I PASS THIS ON TO MANY IN MY ADDRESS BOK, I AM AWARE
OF THE FACT THAT SOMEDAY I MAY NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO SO. VERY SCARY
THOUGHT. And if you are watching what is going all around you, then you
know what I mean. If this email doesn't make any sense to you, then you are
in deep trouble. This would mean you are not aware of what is going on all
around you.

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans,
called upon America to unite behind Obama.

Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT uniting
behind Obama! I didn't unite behind Obama! I will respect the Office which
he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and word smith
and pray for him, BUT that is it.

I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that He is a one-term
President!

Why am I doing this? Because


It is because I do not share Obama's vision or Value system for America ;


I do not share his Abortion beliefs;


I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;


I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+
(the ceiling has been changed three times since August);


I do not share his view that America is Arrogant;


I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation; (THIS JUST
SHOWS HE CERTAINLY ISN'T UP ON HIS AMERICAN HISTORY!)


I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;


I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than American
Citizens who need help;


I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;


I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our
enemy who should give up any land; (GIMME A BREAK!)


I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);



I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in
America ;


I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and certainly do not
share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.

Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a
higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is Right!

For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous
entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility but for
their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his
spiritual beliefs!

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their
philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal
beliefs for the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed my America
as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they have mocked
and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of
our Country!

They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ from
our Society!

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the
most basic principles of our criminal code; they have attacked one of the
most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech! And, they
forgot what this country was built on... Christian principles! They fail to
realize when they took "God out of everything" this country went on a
downhill spiral fast and still is!

Unite behind Obama? Never!

I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the
Embodiment of Evil!

PRESIDENT BUSH

Made mistakes during his Presidency, (EVERY PRESIDENT DOES) however; I
believe that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established
Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!

Majority rules in America, and I will honor the concept; however, I will
fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and "his
goals for America " Because I am

I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will
destroy our Country!! Any more compromise is more defeat!


I pray that now Obama is President and has shown his true colors, everyone
concerned will wake up the many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed
the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has
been good in America!

"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it."
- Thomas Jefferson

"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation
gone under."- Ronald Reagan

GOD BLESS AMERICA , AND AMERICA , BLESS GOD!

Pass this on if you agree.

Thanks!

If you agree with this I strongly suggest you pass this on. If we wait and
let everyone else do it, this message may end here and we will fall prey to
the inevitable which is very close. We are about to loose the freedom we
have cherished for so long unless YOU AND I.... WAKE UP NOW!

Time for "Safe and Drug Free Schools" Czar to resign

Contact Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and your members of Congress today!

October 6, 2009

Dear Sam,


Kevin Jennings is an open homosexual who is now serving the Department of Education as President Obama's "Safe and Drug Free Schools" czar.

Jennings is the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which pushes so-called "anti-bullying" policies which even GLSEN admits are really about promoting "affirmation" of homosexual behavior in the school system.

Jennings is intolerant of the "religious right," 90% of whom enroll their children in public schools, and said in a 2000 speech "I'm trying not to say '[F---] 'em'...I don't care what they think. Drop dead!"

He wants homosexual indoctrination of students at all levels, having written the forward to a book entitled Queering Elementary Education, and saying in 2004, "Ex-gay messages have no place in our nation's public schools...There is no ‘other side' when you're talking about lesbian, gay and bisexual students."

By his own admission he failed his legal duty to report what he believed to be a case of statutory rape when a young student approached him for counsel after the boy had been preyed on by an older adult in a local bus station bathroom. Jennings' main piece of advice: "I hope you know how to use a condom."

He writes in his 2006 memoir without any remorse of frequently getting "drunk and stoned" when he was a teenager.

Kevin Jennings is not qualified under any ethical standard to be entrusted with the safety of our nation's public school children.


Take Action!
Send an E-mail to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan urging him to call for Jennings' resignation and ask your Congressmen to also press Duncan for his resignation.

It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.




Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you feel our efforts are worthy of support, would you consider making a small tax-deductible contribution to help us continue?

O election payback to George Soros

"Today, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for oil for this country, He signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil. The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and not the USA. The Chinese=2 0government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels of oil". We have absolutely no gain from this transaction whatsoever.


Wait it gets more interesting.


Guess who is the largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who would benefit most from this? It is American Billionaire, George Soros, Liberal businessman who is a radical left wing supporter, finances MoveOn.org as well as other liberal programs and was President Obama's largest and most generous supporter during his campaign. If you are able to connect the dots and follow the money, you are probably as upset as I am. Not a word of this transaction was on any of the other news networks.


Forward this factual e-mail to others who care about this country and where it is going. I do not think this was the type of change Obama meant. Also, let all of your Government representatives know how you feel about this. I wonder what President Obama is getting out of this?.....

Tim Cox- Goooh- We can retake America!

[http://www.goooh.com/]

GOOOH Gaining Momentum!

Momentum continues to build at an accelerating rate. A third of a million visitors have now been to our Web site, almost 40,000 in the last month alone! We continue to land spots on radio all across the country. Another one hour television show has been recorded. Glenn Beck mentioned us on his radio show (for 30 seconds) saying, "Yeah, I've read that book. I don't agree with everything in it but it's a very interesting, very interesting concept, yeah. Very good." Click here to read the full transcript.

Now, anyone who has read the book or spoken with me knows that NOBODY is going to agree with everything I said. This is politics, after all, and we all have different perspectives and opinions. One of the many points of GOOOH is that we all disagree on various issues. The problem begins with politicians who routinely make promises they have no intention of keeping in order to get elected. That is why 85% of us disapprove of the job congress is doing. That is why only 25% of the people say they would vote against throwing every single member of Congress out - see the Rasmussen poll.

The time has come to elect citizen representatives who are not controlled by a party or special interest money, who are not concerned about their political career, and who are willing to be held accountable. We need true representatives, men and women who have honor and integrity and will document what they believe in and then vote accordingly. GOOOH will enable such patriots to be elected.

I went to Washington DC on December 12th and marched with at least two million other patriots. The majority of us were protesting against both parties and all politicians. We were protesting against an out of control government. Listen to Anne Marie Harpen's song and view her powerful photos; I suspect many of you will watch it multiple times. It still amazes me how many are reporting that this was a protest against President Obama and the Democratic Party; it absolutely was not. Read articles like this one about GOOOH in The News-Herald of northern Ohio for proof that members of both parties seek a non-partisan solution. Watch this powerful video that Read Street Sound has created.

Do the reporters truly fail to see that this is an anti-government protest? Do they really not get that Americans are fed up with both parties, and politicians in general? GOOOH began when the Republicans had complete control of the government. When the deficit soared and the borders remained open. When the failure of Fannie and Freddie were imminent but the politicians debated steroids in baseball instead. When our high schools continued to fail a third of our nation's children. When we were still denied the right to say a prayer before a high school football game. This is not a new or sudden outburst. It has been simmering for years and has finally begun to boil. With an eleven and a half trillion dollar deficit that will soon be fifteen we have finally said ENOUGH!

I am hearing four reasons GOOOH cannot succeed. Let me address them here.

1) We cannot get on the ballot - Of course we can. Every state has rules on the number of signatures that are needed, the time period in which they must be gathered, and the fees that must be paid. Once we get to 500,000 members, we will begin the effort. To me it sounds downright silly when someone says we can't do something. We are Americans. We can do whatever the heck we say we are going to do. There is no way anyone will keep us off the ballot.
2) We will split the vote - GOOOH is a non-partisan movement that will win in a landslide. Once we reach critical mass in membership and begin marketing, 85% of the population will be with us and choose to replace the incumbent. We will offer a true choice for the first time ever. America is looking for a fresh approach. GOOOH is it. The politicians and parties will use this scare tactic, but that is all it is. It may sound convincing while we are forming our base, but once we have the numbers, and our countrymen line up with us, this argument will completely melt away.
3) A third party cannot win - First, we are not talking about the presidency. Ross Perot was interesting, but he had some major "quirks" including naming Stockdale as candidate for Vice President. That is not a valid comparison. We have seen independents win at all levels, including Joe Liebermann for Senate in 2004. Americans know how to vote for those without an R or a D by their name. But most importantly, the third parties people mention have never attacked the parties from our angle, they have played right into their hands by focusing on a few issues, and the two parties have done a good job of convincing citizens they are wasting their vote if they vote for anyone but the Republicans or Democrats. The third parties people think of are flawed from inception because they are built just like the existing parties. They have a platform that immediately divides. They raise money from special interest groups or have a single supporter with massive wealth. Candidates are s
elected
=
in the same old fashion - or they emphasize that one wealthy person. They have never addressed the accountability problem. GOOOH is not a third party in the classic sense. It is a process that focuses ONLY on the House of Representatives. It will allow us to choose representatives the way our Founding Fathers intended. It will break the death grip the two parties have on the very people who should be representing us. It will sever the ties with special interest money. It will replace the career politicians. It offers a way to hold our leaders accountable. A non-partisan party can win, but it must approach the problem differently.

4) We don't have enough time - As the march on Washington D.C. demonstrated, at least two million Americans proved support exists and can be organized quickly. The Tea Party groups alone have enough people to ensure GOOOH will succeed. They adopted a nifty slogan and attracted 500,000 members in less than a month. Imagine when their members learn we have more than just a slogan, that we have an actionable plan. Surely those supporting the flip concept will see that asking politicians to say they will support four principals has been tried a hundred times before - and failed miserably each time. There are individual Tea Party groups from all across America getting behind GOOOH. It is time for all of them to do so.


GOOOH is a plan we can implement today! The time has come for every Tea Party group, members of the Constitution Party, those who support the FairTax, those who believe in the 912 principals, and every person in America who seeks liberty, values freedom, and understands that we must do things differently, to join us. We will soon have not just 500,000 members, but 50 million or more. We will then use the GOOOH process to identify and fund 435 citizen representatives. Watch the GOOOH calendar for an event near you. If you are willing to host an event, let us know.

The system has been built. We seek the modern day incarnations of Madison, Franklin and Jefferson. They are out there. All we need are enough patriots to join our cause and help us find them. Perhaps you know one of the leaders we seek. Perhaps, we are looking for you.

The time has come to get every person in America to visit www.GOOOH.com and learn how we can retake control of our government. We have people sponsoring radio ads in Texas. We have billboards up in Tennessee. You can buy GOOOH t-shirts. You can get material to distribute from our store. We have a killer video ready to go if we can obtain the music rights (let us know if you can help).

One hundred years from now our history books will tell the story of the GOOOH revolution. This is your call to help write that story. Will you do your part?

Sincerely,
Tim C

Poem That Gives You Goose bumps...


A drunk man in an Oldsmobile
They said had run the light
That caused the six-car pileup
On 109 that night.
When broken bodies lay about
'And blood was everywhere,'
'The sirens screamed out eulogies,'
For death was in the air.
'A mother, trapped inside her car,'
Was heard above the noise;
Her plaintive plea near split the air:
'Oh, God, please spare my boys!'
She fought to loose her pinned hands
'She struggled to get free,'
But mangled metal held her fast
In grim captivity.
Her frightened eyes then focused
'On where the back seat once had been,'
But all she saw was broken glass and
Two children's seats crushed in.
Her twins were nowhere to be seen;
'She did not hear them cry, '
'And then she prayed they'd been thrown free, '
'Oh, God, don't let them die! '
Then the police came and cut her loose, '
'But when they searched the back, '
'They found therein no little boys, '
But the seat belts were intact.
They thought the woman had gone mad
'And was traveling alone, '
'But when they turned to question her, '
They discovered she was gone.
Policemen saw her running wild
And screaming above the noise
'In beseeching supplication, '
Please help me find my boys!
They're four years old and wear blue shirts;
'Their jeans are blue to match.''
'One cop spoke up, ''They're in my car, '
And they don't have a scratch.
They said their daddy put them there
'And gave them each a cone, '
Then told them both to wait for Mom
To come and take them home.
'I've searched the area high and low, '
But I can't find their dad.
'He must have fled the scene, '
'I guess, and that is very bad.'
'The mother hugged the twins and said, '
'While wiping at a tear, '
'He could not flee the scene, you see, '
'For he's been dead a year.'
'The cop just looked confused and asked, '
'Now, how can that be true? '
'The boys said, ''Mommy, Daddy came
'And left a kiss for you.'' '
He told us not to worry
'And that you would be all right, '
And then he put us in this car with
'The pretty, flashing light. '
'We wanted him to stay with us, '
'Because we miss him so, '
'But Mommy, he just hugged us tight '
And said he had to go.
He said someday we'd understand
'And told us not to fuss, '
'And he said to tell you, Mommy, '
'He's watching over us.'
The mother knew without a doubt
'That what they spoke was true, '
'For she recalled their dad's last words, '
' I will watch over you.'
The fire men's notes could not explain
'The twisted, mangled car, '
And how the three of them escaped
Without a single scar.
'But on the cop's report was scribed, '
'In print so very fine, '
An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109.


'The 7 Second Prayer
'Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless my
family, my home, my friends, and me. Amen. '

He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare.

'The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginning, but not its end. '

ANGELS EXIST but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS..
Pass this on to your true friends.
