Subject: Average men . . . .
The truly and deliberately evil men are a very small minority; it is
the appeaser who unleashes them on mankind; it is the appeaser’s
intellectual abdication that invites them to take over. When a
culture’s dominant trend is geared to irrationality, the thugs win
over the appeasers. When intellectual leaders fail to foster the
best in the mixed, unformed, vacillating character of people at
large, the thugs are sure to bring out the worst. When the ablest
men turn into cowards, the average men turn into brutes.

- Food for thought:
Let's put the seniors in jail, and the criminals in a nursing home.
This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies, and walks, they'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc. and they'd receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.
Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.
A guard would check on them every 20 minutes, and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.
They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool, and education, simple clothing, shoes, slippers, P.J.'s and legal aid would be free, on request.
Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens.
Each senior could have a P.C., T.V., Radio, and daily phone calls.
There would be a board of directors, to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct, that would be strictly adhered to.
The "criminals" would get cold food, be left all alone, and unsupervised.
Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week.
Live in a tiny room, and pay $5000.00 per month and have no hope of ever getting out. Justice for all.
Leave the woodpile a little higher than you found it.

Observations on Growing Older
~Your kids are becoming you ... and you don't like them.
But your grandchildren are perfect!
~Going out is good.
Coming home is better!
~When people say you look "Great",
they add "for your age!"
~When you needed the discount you paid full price. Now you get
discounts on everything ...
movies, hotels, flights, but you're too tired to use them.
~You forget names ... but it's OK
because other people forgot
they even knew you!
~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose
is now 15 and you have a better chance
of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything ...
especially golf.
~Your husband is counting on you to remember things you
don't remember
~The things you used to care to do,
you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do
them anymore.
~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair
with the TV blaring than he does in bed.
It's called his "pre-sleep".
~Remember when your mother said
"Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"? Now you bring
clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!
~You used to say,
"I hope my kids GET married."
Now, "I hope they STAY married!"
~You miss the days when everything worked
with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.
~When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem ...
were unheard of, and a mouse was something
that made you climb on a table.
~You used to use more 4 letter words ...
"what?"..."when?"?
~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to
wear it anywhere.
~Your husband has a night out with the guys
but he's home by 9:00 P.M. Next week it will be 8:30 P.M.
~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.
~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?
~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
~Everybody whispers.
~Now that your husband has retired,
you'd give anything if he'd find a job!
~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet,
2 of which you will never wear.
~But old is good in some things:
old songs
old movies
And best of all OLD FRIENDS!!
Love you, "OLD FRIEND!"
Send this on to other "Old Friends" and
let them laugh in agreement!

On his 74th birthday, a man got a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate paid for a visit to a medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was rumored to have a wonderful cure for erectile dysfunction.
After being persuaded, he drove to the reservation, handed his ticket to the medicine man and wondered what he was in for.
The old man slowly, methodically produced a potion, handed it to him, and with a grip on his shoulder, warned, "This is powerful medicine and it must be respected. You take only a teaspoonful and then say ' 1-2-3 ' . When you do that, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life and you can perform as long as you want."
The man was encouraged. As he walks away, he turned and asked, "How do I stop the medicine from working?"
"Your partner must say ' 1-2-3-4, ' he responded. "But, when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon."
He was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom. When she came in, He took off his clothes and said, "1-2-3!" Immediately, he was the manliest of men.
His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes. And then she asked, "What was the 1-2-3 for?"
And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.

Thanks Dave Kaelin! - Prince Obama
Prince Obama
Dawood Khan
June 1, 2010 at 5:42 am
This quote was translated into English of an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010 .
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama Presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their President." "The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. " The Republic can survive a Barack Obama who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President.”
I know not if this was actually extracted from a Czech newspaper. I do know that whoever wrote it has my complete agreement. The more of the ilk of Obama and his crowd of Liberals that we, citizens of America, vote into office, the dimmer the future of our Great Nation.

I Am the Democratic Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare.
I am an White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker.
I am a Master leatherworker. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a living.
I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others.
I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and drive American-made cars, and I believe in American products and buy them whenever I can.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal governmental functionary, Democratic or Republican, that wants to share it with others who don't work!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer; it makes you a smart American.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it!
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English. I believe there should be no other language option.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.
My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.
I've never owned a slave, nor was a slave. I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country!
This is AMERICA ...We like it the way it is and more so the way it was ...so stop trying to change it to look like Russia or China, or other socialist country!
If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you. (And take Barack Hussein Obama and his group with you.) Massachusetts started the ball rolling. Keep it going.
I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the White House, the seat of our biggest problems.
I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution.
Can I get an AMEN on that one?
I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are, but not just because you happen to ride a bike.
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license.
I think it's good.... And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money..
I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause.... Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!
I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents....
I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.
I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !
If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.
If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know....

I would like to thank you for your service in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Your dedication is immensely important to the people of the United States. The fact that you gave your life in order for us to have a better life means a lot to me and the people that knew you. You are from Ohio, where I am also from. You then moved to Portsmouth where most of my family grew up, and have connections to your relatives and friends. The medals you earned represent what a great leader you were. None of us will forget your bravery, dedication, and what you sacrificed during the Vietnam War. May you rest in peace.

http://www.3-5cav-blackknights.org/casualties.htm
On this date, 38 years ago, Maj. Roger Allan Quinn died serving his country in Vietnam. Roger was a member of HHT Troop, 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry. The 3/5 Cav were known as the Black Knights. They were an armored cavalry unit, meaning they fought primarily from tanks and armored fighting vehicles. They are a proud unit with a proud history. RogerÆs tour of duty was about 9 months. Details of the 3/5 CavÆs movements and operations in Vietnam during RogerÆs tour of duty can be found in 2 books: 1) ôIf You AinÆt Cavà ö by Dr. Lee March 2) ôRinged in Steelö by Michael Mahler, Executive Officer with the 3/5 Cav. For more info about the 3/5 Cav go to www.3-5cav-blackknights.org. My cousin, too, was a member of the 3/5 Cav. He was KIA New YearÆs Eve, December 31, 1967, about 3 months before Roger. He had only been in country 20 days. This info is provided FYI, for those who didn't know û LEST WE FORGET. It is also provided to keep RogerÆs memory alive for those who didn't know him LEST WE FORGET. Roger knew war, now may he know peace eternally. I am sincerely, forever grateful for his service.

LEST WE FORGET
http://www.3-5cav-blackknights.org/casualties.htm
On this date, 38 years ago, Maj. Roger Allan Quinn died serving his country in Vietnam. Roger was a member of HHT Troop, 3rd Squadron, 5th Cavalry. The 3/5 Cav were known as the Black Knights. They were an armored cavalry unit, meaning they fought primarily from tanks and armored fighting vehicles. They are a proud unit with a proud history. RogerÆs tour of duty was about 9 months. Details of the 3/5 CavÆs movements and operations in Vietnam during RogerÆs tour of duty can be found in 2 books: 1) ôIf You AinÆt Cavà ö by Dr. Lee March 2) ôRinged in Steelö by Michael Mahler, Executive Officer with the 3/5 Cav. For more info about the 3/5 Cav go to www.3-5cav-blackknights.org. My cousin, too, was a member of the 3/5 Cav. He was KIA New YearÆs Eve, December 31, 1967, about 3 months before Roger. He had only been in country 20 days. This info is provided FYI, for those who didn't know û LEST WE FORGET. It is also provided to keep RogerÆs memory alive for those who didn't know him LEST WE FORGET. Roger knew war, now may he know peace eternally. I am sincerely, forever grateful for his service.

Rest easy, sleep well my brothers. Know the line has held, your job is done. Rest easy, sleep well. Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held. Peace, peace, and farewell.
