The Southern States. God Lov'em

    Alabama A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. "Where's Henry?" the others asked. "Henry had a stroke o' some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied. "You left Henry layin' out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired. "A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one's gonna steal Henry!" Georgia The owner of a golf course in Georgia was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, "Y'all graduated from the University of Georgia and I need some help. If I wuz to give yew $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?" The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, "Everthang but my earrings."   Louisiana A senior citizen in Louisiana was overheard saying ... "When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana ." When asked why, he replied, "I'd rather be in Louisiana 'cause everythang happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the world."   Mississippi The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!" Bubba replied, "Did y'all see who it was?" The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number."   North Carolina A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by, and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied, "I got a flat tahr." The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?" The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. I never did understand it neither."   Tennessee A Tennessee State trooper pulled over a pickup on I-65. The trooper asked, "Got any ID?" The driver replied, "Bout whut?"   Texas The Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The Sheriff asked, "Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head." "Yep," he replied. "That's why I'm dumpin' it here, 'cause it says: 'Fine For Dumping Garbage.' " *** Y'all kin say whut y'all want 'about the South, but y'all never heard o' nobody retirin' an' movin' North!  

FW: Veteran of the year award

Many people may have forgotten about his time in the U.S.Army. He is the son of an Air Force General, and an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer, and he graduated from Pomona College with a B.S. degree, and then became a Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University. He joined the U.S. Army at the prompting of his father.  After graduating from Officer Candidate School he attended and graduated from both Army Airborne and Ranger training in the very top of each class. He was selected for U. S. Army Special Forces Training but refused so that he could attend pilot training where he earned his wings, and became an accomplished U.S. Army helicopter (gun ship) pilot, and achieved the rank of Captain. He was about to be promoted to the rank of Major, and appointed to teach at West Point when he resigned his commission from the Army to go into music and acting. You can tell in this video that his time in the military means a lot to him. I won't give away who it is. You should just watch.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU-A7eqadho&feature=related

Congressional Reform Act 2012...Support it Now!

Winds of Change.... Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. _*Congressional Reform Act of 2011*_ 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time? THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS! If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete. You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks.

What and Who Christmas is About

Christmas is a time of year where the even the skeptics are little happier...(don't ask them to admit though).  We often get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of going, and doing, and shopping...that we forget to SLOW DOWN and reflect on just WHAT and WHO Christmas is about. Pull over. Put it in park. Relax. Reflect. And when you think of all the goodness and blessings, even amidst all the real life activities, you will begin to smile. Reflect on the goodness and joy and blessings a little more...   ...you walk a little lighter... you're really smiling...you catch someone whistling...and it's YOU!   Lets keep that "Happy Holiday Reflection", that "Merry Christmas Remembrance" going through out the Holiday Season and enter 2012 saying-   "Together WE WILL Get This Done!"     "God Bless all, and to all a Good night." ----------------   Conservatism- Learn it. Love it. Live it.   BE CONSERVATIVE. WIN!

Chicago Rules vs 2012 Election

Chicago rules       As we get closer and closer to the 2012 election, it's important to remember The Rules we play by. The Rules are taken from the Chicago playbook of rules where they are simply known as... Chicago Rules. Chicago Rules are illustrated by the six photographs below: Rod Blagojevich is the former Illinois Governor who tried to sell Obama's seat in Congress. Obama was asked by the press if he had ever met Gov. Rod Blagojevich. He replied: "I only saw Rod Blagojevich one time ... And that was in the stands and from a distance at a Chicago Bears Football Game." Of course, you can believe him - he's our President The picture below? That's irrelevant. Rod Blagojevich, Barack Obama, and Richard Daley during a rally in Chicago , April 16, 2007. (Photo Reuters) Note: Rahm Emanual has replaced Daley as Mayor! And Daley's brother has replaced Rahm as a chief adviser to the president. But you don't need to know all this. Rahm, the new Mayor of Chicago You have to understand "the world according to Chicago ." Chicago is almost a completely different country when it comes to politics. Chicago even has a different set of morals and language. There are three rules and a Prime Directive. RULE #1. No matter what you see, hear, or do -- you don't know anybody & you know nothing! RULE #2. If you capture something on tape or camera -- it reveals nothing! RULE #3. If you know what everybody else in Chicago knows -- you still know nothing. The PRIME DIRECTIVE ...No matter what the vote, Democrats win the election. Now pay close attention! It's very simple. Remember, you know nothing. These two? They never met! Obama said they didn't.. These two? Who are they? The guy on the left? He's Santa Claus. And the guy on the right.... he's the Easter Bunny! That's all you need to know. These two? Don't ask. Remember Jimmy Hoffa? He knew too much. Where is he now? Don't ask. Do you understand? Don't look at these pictures! Remember, you've already forgotten them..... Do you understand? They don't know each other and they never met! How is that possible? BECAUSE OBAMA SAID SO! And - don't - you - fergit - it! as a wise old Cartoon Character used to say! P.S. If you pass this on to your friends: you know nothing and they will know nothing. (By the way... how's that "Hope and Change" working out for you?)   In God We Trust.

He and I See the Problem! Can You?

THIS IS AS  GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS  THIS AND PASSES IT ON. I FIND IT  INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE  THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY  CANNOT Tennessee  Football This  is a statement that was read over the PA sytem  at the football game at Roane  County High  School , Kingston , Tennessee by school  Principal, Jody McLeod "It  has always been the custom at Roane County High  School football games, to say a prayer and play  the National Anthem, to honor God and Country." Due  to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am  told that saying a Prayer is a violation of  Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at  this time, I can use this public facility to  approve of sexual perversion and call it "an  alternate life style," and if someone is  offended, that's OK. I  can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by  dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex."  If someone is offended, that's  OK. I  can even use this public facility to present the  merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable!  Means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem... I  can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and  involve students in activities to worship  religiously and praise the goddess "Mother  Earth" and call it "ecology.." I  can use literature, videos and presentations in  the classroom that depicts people with strong,  traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it  "enlightenment.." However,  if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to  ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good  sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated. This  appears to be inconsistent at best, and at  worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be  tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments. Nevertheless  , as a school principal, I frequently ask staff  and students to abide by rules with which they  do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise  would be inconsistent at best, and at worst,  hypocritical. I suffer from that affliction  enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need  to add an intentional  transgression. For  this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that  which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at  this time. "  However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise  and thank GOD and ask HIM,in the name of JESUS,  to Bless this event, please feel free to do  so.. As  far as I know, that's not against the  law----yet." One  by one, the people in the stands bowed their  heads, held hands with one another and began to  pray. They  prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team  huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and  they prayed in the Announcer's  Box! The  only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme  Court of the United States of America- the Seat  of "Justice" in the "one nation, under  GOD." Somehow,  Kingston , Tennessee Remembered what so many  have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF  Religion, not the  FreedomFROM  ReligionPraise GOD that HIS remnant remains! JESUS  said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then  I will be ashamed of you before MY  FATHER.." If  you are not ashamed, pass this on  ... I'm not  one bit ashamed to pass this on, Are  you?

This should be Branded on Forehead of Senate/House Member

Classic!!!   It should be engraved in stone at the front of the Capitol.  “Witnessing the Republicans and the Democrats bicker over the U.S. debt is like watching two drunks argue over a bar bill on the Titanic.”  

A View of a Very Young MD

The view of a young doctor   Diagnosis, prognosis and cure in just three (3) short paragraphs !!! If you doubt any part of what Dr. Jones says, go visit your local hospital emergency room as an observer for an hour or so some Friday or Saturday night. See how many responsible people you can send this to !!! Pictured below is a young physician by the name of Dr. Starner Jones. His short two-paragraph letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis". It's worth a quick read:   Dear Mr. President: During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ring tone. While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"! During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer. And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based on the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me". Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear. Respectfully, STARNER JONES, MD If you agree...pass it on. YES YES YES
