O.K. Here I go……… For those I am about to offend ….. I am sorry

 

This is my response to some recent events and blogs in regards to the acceptance of different religions.

As a Christian,

I have never felt that my country or my family, have been threatened by, Buddhists, Hindus , or Jews,

But I have seen with my own eyes the insane acts of violence that has come from “Radical Muslim” believers and feel unsure about the fundamental teachings of the Islam religion.

Show me the willingness to denounce these radicals and their beliefs, And acceptance will thrive….doubt will diminish.

 

Do I believe that all Muslims believe in the same way these radicals do? … NO.

 

But even with our so called Muslim allies, who are not considered “Radicals” I see a past with questionable acts of abuse towards the women there. And hordes of them wanting America and its people to DIE !

This is a real American threat!

 

Those that twist our laws that govern this great nation in favor of atheist and agnostic beliefs will in fact be “Judged” on the day they leave this Earth.

I maintain my right as an American to doubt anyone or anything I feel is a threat to our country .

 

So childish acts in a school about a so called “Spirit Day” does not cause me alarm,

But instead causes me to be thankful that “slap a Jew” day is not, and never will be part of the teachings of any school in this nation.

How many Muslims ran into the streets across the globe and celebrated when those towers fell?

How many of the so-called teachers of Islam tell the students of the “Great Evil’ which is The United States of America?

If the Muslims laid down their guns today there would be more peace.

If the Jews laid down their guns today….Israel would cease to exist.

As a nation we must be ever vigilant

Trust is earned.

When I hear the out cry from the leaders in the Muslim faith, about negative things that have been written about the Muslim community .

I wonder why we do not hear from them ,when zealots use their faith as a cloak against the only country willing to send their soldiers to die for their religious freedoms?

Today  on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a  sign that read "Vote  Obama, I need the money."

 
I laughed. Once in the restaurant my server  had on a "Obama 08"  tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference--just imagine the coincidence.
 
When the bill came I decided not to tip the  server and explained to him that I was exploring the  Obama redistribution of wealth concept.
 
He stood there in disbelief while I told him that  I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I  deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside.
 
The server angrily stormed from my sight.
 
I went  outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank  the server inside as I've decided he could use the money  more. The homeless guy was grateful.
 
At the end of my rather  unscientific redistribution experiment,    I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the  money he did not earn, but the waiter was  pretty angry that I gave away the money he did  earn,    even though the actual recipient deserved  money more????
 
I guess redistribution of wealth  is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in  practical application

Wise Words ...from about 140 years ago
During this political season let's be reminded of these wise words.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative
and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and
should do for themselves.

Abraham Lincoln  

In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF
Survival School was a POW in BOOGEDY Lo Prison
the ' Hanoi Hilton.'
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell,
cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was
ordered to describe for a visiting American
'Peace Activist' the 'lenient and humane
treatment' he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda,
was clubbed and was dragged away.
During the subsequent beating, he fell forward
on to the camp Commandant 's feet which
sent that officer berserk
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from
double vision (which permanently ended his
flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied
application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the
47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the
'Hanoi Hilton',,, the first three of which his
family only knew he was 'missing in action'.
His wife lived on faith that he was still alive.
His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and
clothed routine in preparation for a
'peace delegation' visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to
get word to the world that they were alive
and st ill survived.. Each man secreted a tiny
piece of paper, with his Social Security Number
on it, in the palm of his hand..
When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a
cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each
man's hand and asking little encouraging
snippets like: 'Aren't you sorry you bombed
babies?' and 'Are you grateful for the humane
treatment from your benevolent captors?'
Believing this HAD to be an act, they each
palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. At the
end of the line and once the camera stopped
rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs,
she turned to the officer in charge and handed
him all the little pieces of paper.
Three men died from the subsequent beatings.
Colonel Carrigan was almost number four
but he survived, which is the only reason we
know of her actions that day.
I was a civilian economic development advisor
in Vietnam , and was captured by the North
Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in
1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one
year in a cage in Cambodia ; and one year
in a 'black box' in Hanoi .
My North Vietnamese captors deliberately
poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a
nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South
Vietnam , whom I buried in the jungle near the
Cambodian border.
At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs.
(My normal weight is 170 lbs.)

We were Jane Fonda's 'war criminals.'
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi , I was asked by
the camp communist political officer if I would
be willing to meet with her.
I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real
treatment we POWs received... and how
different it was from the treatment purported by
the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as
'humane and lenient.'
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky
floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched
with a large steel weights placed on my hands,
and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda
soon after I was released.
I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV.
She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify
someone who should be honored as part
of '100 Years of Great Women.'
Lest we forget...' 100 Years of Great Women'
should never include a traitor whose hands are
covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral
reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in
blatant treason, is one of them.
Please take the time to forward to as many
people as you possibly can.
It will eventually end up on her computer and
she needs to know that we will never forget.

 London Sunday Times assessment of the War in Iraq...................... 

 
This is very interesting.  Too bad the "far left wing US media" won't report any of this to the citizens of our great country.


London Sunday Times assessment of the War in Iraq
The Investor's Business Daily editorial board ask, "What would happen if the U.S. won a war but the media didn't tell the American public?
Apparently, we have to rely on a British newspaper for the news that we've defeated the last remnants of al-Qaida in Iraq."
London's Sunday Times called it "the culmination of one of the most spectacular victories of the war on terror." A terrorist force that once numbered more than 12,000, with strongholds in the west and central regions of Iraq, has over two years been reduced to a mere 1,200 fighters, backed against the wall in the northern city of Mosul.
The destruction of al-Qai da in Iraq (AQI) is one of the most unlikely and unforeseen events in the long history of American warfare. We can thank President Bush's surge strategy, in which he bucked both Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington by increasing our forces there instead of surrendering.
We can also thank the leadership of the new general he placed in charge there, David Petraeus, who may be the foremost expert in the world on counter-insurgency warfare. And we can thank those serving in our military in Iraq who engaged local Iraqi tribal leaders and convinced them America was their friend and AQI their enemy.
Al-Qaida's loss of the hearts and minds of ordinary Iraqis began in Anbar Province, which had been written off as a basket case, and spread out from there.
Now, in Operation Lion's Roar the Iraqi army and the U.S. 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment is destroying the fraction of terrorists who are left. More than 1,000 AQI operatives have already been apprehended.
Sunday Times reporter Marie Colvin, traveling with Iraqi forces in Mosul, found little AQI presence even in bullet-ridden residential areas that were once insurgency strongholds, and reported that the terrorists have lost control of its Mosul urban base, with what is left of the organization having fled south into the countryside.
Meanwhile, the State Department reports that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government has achieved "satisfactory" progress on 15 of the 18 political benchmarks — a big change for the better from a year ago.
Things are going so well that Maliki has even for the first time floated the idea of a timetable for withdrawal of American forces. He did so while visiting the United Arab Emirates, which over the weekend announced that it was forgiving almost $7 billion of debt owed by Baghdad — an impressive vote of confidence from a fellow Arab state in the future of a free Iraq.
But where are the headlines and the front-page stories about all this good news? As the Media Research Center pointed out last week, "the CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News and CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 were silent Tuesday night about the benchmarks" that signaled political progress.
 The war in Iraq has been turned around 180 degrees both militarily and politically because the president stuck to his guns. Yet apart from IBD, Fox News Channel and parts of the foreign press, the media don't seem to consider this historic event a big story.

I'M A BAD AMERICAN
I Am the Liberal-Progressives Worst Nightmare. I am an American.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!



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.




I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.




I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.




My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer.




I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.




I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.




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 .
If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.




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 think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry rear if you're running from them..




I also think they have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.




And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers 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.




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

With this post I am showing that I agree with these words.
What say YOU ?

Thanks, ROMAN_ONE
