The Top Marine
In my opinion,
As a citizen, you recruit your military personnel to protect you, your loved ones, your freedoms, your country. You want those recruits to ultimately have the capability, morality, ingenuity and integrity to do the job you hired them to do -- like General Mattis has. If you don’t like him, what he stands for and how he’s done his job --- go be a citizen someplace else!


16 best quotes from the retiring Gen. James Mattis

Gen. James Mattis, known to his troops as “Mad Dog Mattis,” is retiring after 41 years of military service.

The Marine Corps Times is calling Mattis the “most revered Marine in a generation.”

Mattis has been commander of the United States Central Command since 2010 and led the 1st Marine Division into Iraq in 2003.

According to reports, President Barack Obama decided to force the Marine Corps legend out early because he rubbed civilian officials the wrong way, and forced them to answer tough questions regarding Iran .

Mattis was an inspirational leader of men and his powerful words will go down in history.

Here are some of the best words that the “Mad Dog” has had to offer:



1. “I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)



AP

2. “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.”

(Business Insider)

3. “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you Jack with me, I’ll kill you all.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)

4. “Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)



Flicker

5. “Marines don’t know how to spell the word defeat.”

( Business Insider)

6. “Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)

7. “The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)

8. “You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”

(Mattis’ Letter To 1st Marine Division)

9. “There are hunters and there are victims. By your discipline, cunning, obedience and alertness, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim.”

(Business Insider)

10. “No war is over until the enemy says it’s over. We may think it over, we may declare it over, but in fact, the enemy gets a vote.”

(Defense News)

11. “There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.”(AMEN!)

(San Diego Union Tribune)

12. “You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.”

(San Diego Union Tribune)

13. “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling.”

(CNN)

14. “I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”

(San Diego Union Tribune )

15. “Demonstrate to the world there is ‘No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy’ than a U.S. Marine.”

(Mattis’ Letter To 1st Marine Division)

16. “Fight with a happy heart and strong spirit”

(Mattis’ Letter To 1st Marine Division)

This kid got an A+ for this paper!

BY A 15 yr. OLD SCHOOL KID who got an A+ for this entry



(TOTALLY AWESOME)!



Since the Pledge of Allegiance



And



The Lord's Prayer



Are not allowed in most



Public schools anymore



Because the word 'God' is mentioned.....



A kid in Arizona wrote the attached



NEW School prayer:



"New Pledge of Allegiance"



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Now I sit me down in school



Where praying is against the rule



For this great nation under God



Finds mention of Him very odd.



If scripture now the class recites,



It violates the Bill of Rights.



And anytime my head I bow



Becomes a Federal matter now.



Our hair can be purple, orange or green,



That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..



The law is specific, the law is precise.



Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.



For praying in a public hall



Might offend someone with no faith at all..



In silence alone we must meditate,



God's name is prohibited by the state.



We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,



And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...



They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.



To quote the Good Book makes me liable.



We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,



And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.



It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,



We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..



We can get our condoms and birth controls,

Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles..



But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

No word of God must reach this crowd.



It's scary here I must confess,



When chaos reigns the school's a mess.



So, Lord, this silent plea I make:



Should I be shot; My soul please take!



Amen



If you aren't ashamed to do this, Please pass this on..



Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.'



~~~~~~~~~~~AWESOME~~~~~~~~~~



Not ashamed. Pass this on.

CHECK OUT THE PICTURES

lazy? fat ?

Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 870 right in the doorway. I gave it 6 shells, then left it alone and went about my business.

While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign right in front of our house.

After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn't moved itself outside. It certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented to do so. In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise,with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people. Either the media is wrong, and it's the misuse of guns by PEOPLE that kills people, or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

Alright, well I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat.

Morning Bell: 5 Things to Know About the Obama Budget

Amy PayneApril 11, 2013 at 6:43 am(11)

President Obama finally released his budget yesterday—more than two months late.
Heritage experts immediately went to work analyzing the mounds of new spending on education, manufacturing, “clean energy,” infrastructure, and small business.
But the President didn’t stop at more of the same failed stimulus and Solyndra-type policies. He also piled on the tax increases—including on seniors, the poor, and the middle class.
Five key things to know about President Obama’s budget:
1. It hikes taxes by $1.1 trillion.
Heritage’s Curtis Dubay says: “There was little doubt that President Obama would propose a huge tax hike in his budget. It is a bit surprising, however, that the total tax increase he proposes is almost double what he claims it to be.”
Dubay explains where all the tax increases come from—including the “Buffett Rule,” capping tax deductions, and hiking the cigarette tax and the death tax.

2. It underfunds defense.
Heritage’s Patrick Louis Knudsen explains that “While boosting domestic spending, the President remains indifferent to national security needs. His proposed defense spending, though somewhat higher than sequestration levels, remains inadequate.” Baker Spring says, “The result is going to be a defense posture that is too small in terms of both personnel and force structure, does not include modern weapons and equipment, and does not provide adequate levels of training and maintenance.”
3. It doubles down on Obamacare.
The Obama budget actually expands parts of Obamacare and even includes new changes to Medicare that create two sneaky new “taxes” on seniors. Obamacare’s “malignant new entitlements—its health insurance subsidies and Medicaid expansions—start in this 2014 budget,” Knudsen reminds us.
With their implementation, the misnamed Affordable Care Act will add a distinctly unaffordable $1.8 trillion in federal spending through 2023. Equally important, Obamacare commandeers the health care sector with a massive program that further distorts the market, intrudes on the doctor-patient relationship, and dismisses personal and religious liberty.
4. It doesn’t balance and never will.
As Knudsen says, “Because the budget never balances—it doesn’t even try—debt remains at dangerously elevated levels.” See how Obama’s non-balancing budget compares to the plans in the House and Senate, as well as Heritage’s Saving the American Dream plan.
5. It’s irrelevant.
The President’s budget is more than two months late. The House and Senate have already passed their own budgets, and the next step is for the two chambers to come together to see if they can hash out a budget that both chambers can pass. At this point, why is the President bothering?

Gun facts you need to know.
Heritage’s Hans von Spakovsky says whoever secretly recorded a meeting of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell could be in serious legal trouble.
Speaking yesterday at Howard University in Washington, D.C., Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) argued “big government is not a friend to African Americans.”

The Miracle of Computers!

This is amazing

The Miracle of Computers!

Hope you enjoy this one- it's interesting to see all

that is included. It would prove invaluable assistance

to anyone studying history or biographies.

Well worth saving for students.
Now take a look at this picture...



Paintedby Chinese Artists, Dai Dudu, Li Tiezi and Zhang An,
oil on canvas, 2006.

This painting is truly remarkable. Even more amazing

though, is that the canvas has been computerized.

When you click on the link below, a much bigger
version of the computerized painting appears.

Run your cursor over the people. The program tells

you who they are - every single one of them.

BUT (click on a person) and you obtain the individual’s

life history. This is fascinating...

It can keep you busy for hours!
