4/26/2012 11:53:51 AM You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .. It's November 11, 1967. LZ (landing zone) X-ray. Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the helicopters to stop coming in. You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day. Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter. You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it. Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway. Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come. He's coming anyway. And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety. And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!! Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm. He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey. Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise, Idaho May God Bless and Rest His Soul. I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure heard a whole bunch about Whitney Houston, Lindsay Lohan, and Dr. Murray. Shame on the media !!! |

4/28/2012 3:34:24 PM IN MY INBOX: Dhimmitude What does this word mean? The word 'Dhimmitude" is found in the new health care bill; so what does it mean? Thought this was interesting and worth passing on. Dhimmitude -- I had never heard the word until now. Type it into Google and start reading. Pretty interesting. It's on page 107 of the healthcare bill. I looked this up on Google and yep, it exists.. It is a REAL word. Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims in exchange for tolerating their presence AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam. ObamaCare allows the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States . Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking", and "usury" and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this. How convenient. So I, as a Christian, will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. This is Dhimmitude. I recommend sending this on to your contacts. American citizens need to know about it -- snopes.com: Health Insurance Exemptions Apr 13, 2010 ... Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-muslim populations ... The ObamaCare bill is the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia ... www.snopes.com/politics/medical/exemptions.asp We need to get him out of office!!! |

4/28/2012 9:07:30 PM IN MY INBOX... My Grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I... My Father watched as his friends died in WW II and Korea ... I watched as my friends died in Vietnam ... None of them died for the Mexican Flag... Everyone died for the U.S. flag... In Texas , a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another student took it down. Guess who was expelled... the kid who took it down. Kids in high school in California were sent home this year on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them. Enough is enough. The below e-mail message needs to be viewed by every American; and every American needs to stand up for America . We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough... I'm taking a stand... I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. flag can't stand up... And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message... Let me make this perfectly clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY! And, because I make This statement DOES NOT Mean I'm against immigration!!! YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY! Welcome! To come through legally: 1. Get a sponsor! 2. Get a place to lay your head! 3.Get a job! 4.Live By OUR Rules! 5.Pay YOUR Taxes! And 6.Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants have in the past!!! AND 7.Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime savings of Social Security Funds to you. If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, Then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS??? We've gone so far the other way... bent over backwards not to offend anyone... But it seems no one cares about the AMERICAN CITIZEN that's being offended! WAKE UP America !!! |

5/7/2012 1:10:42 AM THE NIGHT WATCHMAN Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports. Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created two positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people. Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary. Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back." So they laid-off the night watchman. NOW slowly, let it sink in. Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter. Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY during the Carter administration? Anybody? Anything? No? Didn't think so! Bottom line is, we've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency, the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember! Ready?? It was very simple... and at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate. The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977, TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL. Hey, pretty efficient, huh??? AND NOW IT'S 2012 -- 35 YEARS LATER -- AND THE BUDGET FOR THIS "NECESSARY" DEPARTMENT IS AT $24.2 BILLION A YEAR. IT HAS 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND APPROXIMATELY 100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES; AND LOOK AT THE JOB IT HAS DONE! (THIS IS WHERE YOU SLAP YOUR FOREHEAD AND SAY, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?") 34 years ago 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports. Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports. Ah, yes -- good old Federal bureaucracy. NOW, WE HAVE TURNED OVER THE BANKING SYSTEM, HEALTH CARE, AND THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO THE SAME GOVERNMENT? Hello!! Anybody Home? Signed....The Night Watchman |

5/7/2012 8:48:52 AM I hear so many folks say they are not voting. Too many Americans died to give you the right to vote and participate in our government affairs for you to say you are fed up and not voting. Consider this. If you disapprove of the direction the country is heading...and don't vote, then you are PART OF THE PROBLEM. Complacentcy is the reason we are in the shape we find ourselves now. Not voting will pretty much guarentee 4 more years of the same. America has never been in as much trouble as it is in right now. We have never just rolled over and given up. We better wake up and stand up or the United States of America will be just a memory. We are being attacked from every direction, externally as well as internally. Stand up Americans. Stand for something, reclaim your intestinal fortitude and vote the bastards out.------An Angry Marine |

5/7/2012 1:17:20 PM Totally agree with daybuck. Contrary to previous posts, I would argue that the sheeple position would be to NOT vote. For many Americans, voting is the one thing that we CAN do to make a difference. |

5/7/2012 4:28:26 PM Bill Ayers: Right about America’s Decline, but Wrong about Social Justice By Robert Ringer - Monday, May 7, 2012 Bill Ayers’ recent speech at the University of Oregon lit up the Internet as though he were a world-renowned statesman, igniting predictable responses from both the right and the left. After reading as much as I could find about Ayers’ speech on the Internet, and listening to the brief video clip that most everyone has viewed by now, my reaction might surprise some readers. Brace yourself: I believe that a majority of what Bill Ayers said is true. It is his solutions with which I take issue. It is not uncommon for someone to be right in identifying a problem but wrong in the solution he proposes. We see it in all facets of life. In the business world, someone may accurately assess that there is a void in the market, then be completely wrong in creating or marketing a widget that he believes fills that void. As many as one thousand auto manufacturers preceded Henry Ford’s entry into the industry, but he became the Steve Jobs of his time, not only because of his correct perception of the demand for a reliable, low-priced automobile, but with his innovation in designing and marketing it. His creation of the auto assembly line, doubling his workers’ wages, and designing the very affordable Model T Ford vaulted Ford Motor Company into the forefront of the auto industry in 1908. Correctly perceiving a problem, a need, or a situation and knowing what to do about it are two entirely different matters. For example, if someone says to me that life isn’t fair, I would, of course, agree with him. However, I might totally disagree with him as to what, if anything, should be done about the unfairness of life. Which brings me back to Bill Ayers and his speech at the University of Oregon … At one point in his talk, Ayers said, “I don‘t think there’s any question, and I don’t think any of you would question, that the American Empire is in decline — that economically, and politically, and in some ways culturally, that we are in decline.” I agree with this entire statement, though talk about America’s decline drives patriotic statists berserk. Forget that real unemployment is well above 10 percent; forget that Congress, the executive branch, and the Supreme Court ignore the Constitution with impunity; forget that the U.S. is the biggest debtor nation in the history of the world; forget that half of America’s population depends on government’s redistribution-of-wealth policies for its survival; forget that America has the highest corporate tax rate in the world. That’s right, people should just ignore the facts and delude themselves into believing that everything is fine with the American Empire. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but everything is not fine. Far from it. America has been in an accelerating decline — politically, economically, and, above all, morally — since at least the 1960s, and, in many ways, since the early 1900s. We live in an age of lost wars … $15 trillion national debts … the celebration of alternative lifestyles … cultural relativism … a government that has declared war on religion … a Department of Justice that not only refuses to uphold the law, but aggressively tries to prevent individual states from doing so. This is not the America I grew up in. It’s an America that is on the ropes and struggling to keep its wobbly legs from giving out. Sorry, but Bill Ayers is right about America’s decline. Further, Ayers believes he knows what’s at the heart of the decline. At an Occupy Union Square rally in New York City, he told the crowd, “I get up every morning and think, today I’m going to make a difference. Today I’m going to end capitalism.” So, even though Ayers is right when he says that America is in decline, he’s wrong when he points to capitalism as the cause, and even more wrong when he says that “social justice” is the solution, which he has written and spoken about on many occasions. What, exactly, is this social justice that Ayers and hate mongers on the far left believe is the solution to America’s decline? The website of the National Association of Social Workers defines social justice as “the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities.” How does a halfway intelligent person have a rational discussion with people who talk in such nonsensical, abstract terms? The answer is, he can’t. It’s not surprising that all attempts to implement social justice have failed the middle and lower classes 100 percent of the time. Instead of producing equal results, social justice creates an elite circle of radicals who dictate people’s lives down to the last detail — what they do for a living, how much they make, what they eat, how many children they have, and so on. Put another way, it produces equal misery for the masses. Which gets us back to capitalism. Capitalism is not the problem; capitalism is the solution. The more capitalism, the more wealth a society can create and the more wealth there will be to “spread around” — not by force, but as a natural result of people striving to better their own existence through free-market forces. Call it trickle-down economics, if you will — but it does work. The historical facts are indisputable. Again, Ayers is right when he says that America is in decline. But it is social justice, not capitalism, that is the cause. And it is capitalism, not social justice, that is the solution. Ayers may not know that, but Barack Obama does — which is why his war against capitalism has been so intense.
