'Stupid Is As Stupid Does'




 In 732 AD the Muslim Army which was moving on Paris was defeated and turned back at Tours, France, by Charles Martell.
 
                     ...in 1571 AD the Muslim Army/ Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the Battle of Lepanto.                 
 
                     ...in 1683 AD the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian Armies.                       
 
                     ...this crap has been going on for 1,400 years and half of these damn politicians don't even know it !!!
                     ...if these battles had not been won we might be speaking Arabic and Christianity could be non - existent;
 
                     Judaism certainly would be... And let us not forget that Hitler was an admirer of Islam and that the Mufti of Jerusalem was Hitler's guest in Berlin and raised Bosnian Muslim SS Divisions: the 13th and 21st Waffen SS Divisions who killed Jews, Russians, Gypsies, and any other "subhumans".
 
                    Reflecting 
                     A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
 
                     Pause a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from history. They really happened!!!
                     Do you remember?
                      1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male.    
                      2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males.
                       3. In 1972 a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach, it was blown up shortly after landing by Muslim males.
                       4. In 1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades by Muslim males.
                        5. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim males.
                        6. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males.
                        7. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males.
                        8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim males.
                        9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim males.
                        10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.
                        11. In 1993 , the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim males.
                        12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males.
                        13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males.
                        14. In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males.
                        15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by---you guessed it was a--- Muslim male.
                        16. In 2013, Boston Marathon Bombing 4 Innocent people including a child killed, 264 injured by Muslim males.          
 
                     No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
 
                     So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.
 
                     Absolutely No Profiling!    
                     They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old, Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males, alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
 
                       Have the American people completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason???
 
                       Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.
 
                       As the writer of the award winning story 'Forrest Gump' so aptly put it, 'Stupid Is As Stupid Does'.

That "Green Thing..."


For us old curmudgeons:
 
(I'm not sure my son Jeff would laugh, but I did.) 

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags,because plastic bags are not good for the environment.    
  
The woman apologized to the young girl and explained, "We didn't have this 'green thing' back in my earlier days." 
  
The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations." 
  
The older lady said that she was right -- our generation didn't have the"green thing" in its day. The older lady went on to explain:  
  
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.
 
But we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.
  
Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags that we reused for numerous things. Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to ensure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribbling. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags.
 
But, too bad we didn't do the "green thing" back then.  
  
We walked up stairs because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. 
  
But she was right. We didn't have the "green thing" in our day. 
  
Back then we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts. Wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
  
But that young lady is right; we didn't have the "green thing" back in our day.
  
Back then we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. 
  
But she's right; we didn't have the "green thing" back then. 
  
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. 
  
But we didn't have the "green thing" back then. 
  
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service in the family's $45,000 SUV or van, which cost what a whole house did before the"green thing." We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint. 
  
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the "green thing" back then? 
  
Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart ass young person.  
  
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off... especially from a tattooed, multiple-pierced smart ass who can't make change without the cash register telling them how much.

Holy Humor...

Holy Humor 

 

A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, "I know what the Bible means!" His father smiled and replied, "What do you mean, you 'know' what the Bible means? The son replied, "I do know!" "Okay," said his father. "What does the Bible mean?" "That's easy, Daddy..." the young boy replied excitedly, "It stands for 'Basic Information Before Leaving Earth."

 

There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country. "Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk. "Only the Ten Commandments." answered the lady.

 

"Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, it's morning."

 

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses." When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."

 

There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: "I have good news and bad news. The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's still out there in your pockets."

 

While driving in Pennsylvania , a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... "Energy efficient vehicle: Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust."

 

A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, "Boys and girls, what do we know about God?" A hand shot up in the air. "He is an artist!" said the kindergarten boy. "Really? How do you know?" the teacher asked. "You know - Our Father, who does art in Heaven... "

 

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend," said the young man, "I'm so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip." The minister chuckled, "I know what you mean. It's the same in my business."

 

People want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention.

 

Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt." Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming."

 

The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute.. The substitute wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But, you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances." During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." At that moment, the substitute organist played "The Star Spangled Banner." And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

"Left" and "Right": A little Bible study...


 
A Little Bible Study
 
"Left" and "Right": A little Bible study.
 
Remember what Jesus said: 'Goats on the left, sheep on the right'(Matthew 25:33).
 
Jesus also told Peter that if he wanted to catch fish do it from the right side of the boat.  They did and filled the boat with fish.
 
John 21:6 (NIV) He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some."  When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish."
 
Origin of Left & Right... I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".
 
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) - "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Thus sayeth the Lord.  Amen.
 
It surely can't get any simpler than that.
 
Spelling Lesson: 
The last four letters in American...........I Can
The last four letters in Republican........I Can
The last four letters in Democrats.........Rats
 
End of lesson.  Test to follow on November 6, 2014.
 
Remember, November 2014 is to be set aside as rodent removal month.
 Please help to achieve that goal.
