Coil of Rage, ...........

2012-01-24T15:23:00.000-06:00

After you've read to the end, come back and read this first paragraph again.

The character of any man is defined by how he treats his mother as the years pass... need I say more about this person below other than there is no character, no integrity but there is a ton of attitude and arrogance that defines his shallow past and hollow future ....
I read Obama's book, Audacity of Hope. It was difficult to read considering his attitude toward us and everything American. Let me add a phrase he uses to describe his attitude toward whites. He harbors a "COIL OF RAGE". His words not mine.

THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT! HE'S RUNNING AGAIN, YOU KNOW!

Is anyone out there awake?

Everyone of voting age should read these two books by him: Don't buy them, just get them from the library.

From Dreams From My Father:
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

From Dreams From My Father:
"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

From Dreams From My Father:
"There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white."

From Dreams From My Father:
"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

From Dreams From My Father:
"I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

And FINALLY... and most scary:

From Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
We have someone with this mentality running our GREAT nation!

Keep your eye on him and don't blink.

Be aware of the attitude and character of this sitting President.

The leopard Doesn't Change His Spots.

I am going to let Newt know we have found him a VP from Texas that truly understands the situation at hand.

Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing she would do the best.

This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. "It's her future"she's worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she's being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX, Nov 18, 2011.......

"PUT ME IN CHARGE . . ."
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?

You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be
inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repair ing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.."

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov't subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Who's going to do the work?

2012-01-20T13:43:00.001-06:00

A college economics professor made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little..
The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

What Obama said while we weren"t listening, ............

2012-01-19T13:57:00.000-06:00

Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do.

Few were listening.

The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "Meet The Press."

From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008, 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" the then Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.

General Bill Ginn, USAF (ret), asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...

During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention, facing the flag, with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".

NOW GET THIS !!

'Senator' Obama replied:

"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides....." "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression..." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air, and all that sort of thing."

(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)

Obama continued:, "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ......"

"When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts . We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice,which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag, and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past."

"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America."

Yes, you read it right.

Federal Benefit Payment?

2012-01-13T13:46:00.001-06:00

Have you noticed your Social Security check is now referred to as a "federal benefit payment"?

Our government gets away with way too much in all areas of our lives, while they live lavishly on their grossly overpaid incomes!

This is another example of what Rick Perry called "TREASON in high places”!!! Get angry, Do something, .... Vote!
Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K a year over your working life, that's close to $220,500.
If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours and your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the government pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98.
If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.
The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had.
"Entitlement my ass"! I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!

Congressional benefits ---- free: Healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, ..... now that's "Welfare", and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement entitlements?

We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless.

In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, and Turkey. And now Pakistan ......home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!

They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when it’s time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.

Sad isn't it? Don't you think it's time to clean house in Washington? What are "You" going to do about it?

I know I'll step on someone's toes here, ... but we, as a Nation, "Must" get the Democrates out of our Government, ... while we still have a country to be governed, and insist on reform packages for our elected officials. They are not "Gods", ... they are supposed to be our "Servants". It's high-time we took control of their lavish life style.

The folks who are getting the free stuff, don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.

The folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop, and the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now... The people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So... The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff, and giving them the free stuff in the first place.

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them

The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 235 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff. We have one chance to change that. In 2012. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.

The Brick

2011-12-14T19:08:00.000-06:00

The Brick

Read this today and
don't delete it even if
you are too busy!! You'll
see..

THE
BRICK

A young and successful
executive was traveling down a neighborhood street,
going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.. He was
watching for kids darting out from between parked
cars and slowed down when he thought he saw
something.

As his car passed, no children appeared.
Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!
He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to
the spot where the brick had been thrown.

The angry
driver then jumped out of the
car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up
against a parked car shouting,

'What was that all about and who are you? Just what
the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that
brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why
did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic.
'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't
know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the
brick because no one else would stop....' With tears
dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth
pointed to a spot just around a parked car.. 'It's my
brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell
out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him
up.'

Now sobbing, the boy
asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help
me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and
he's too heavy for me.'

Moved beyond words,
the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling
lump in his throat... He hurriedly lifted the
handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took
out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh
scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything
was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless
you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too
shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy!
push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk
toward their home..

It was a long, slow
walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very
noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair
the dented side door. He kept the dent there to
remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life
so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to
get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and
speaks to our hearts Sometimes when we don't have
time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's
our choice to listen or
not.

Thought for the
Day:

If God had a
refrigerator, your picture would be on
it.

If He had a wallet,
your photo would be in
it.

He sends you flowers
every spring.

He sends you a sunrise
every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about
you!

Send this to every
'beautiful person' you wish to
bless.

God didn't promise
days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun
without rain, but He did promise strength for the
day, comfort for the tears, and light for the
way.

Read this line very
slowly and let it sink
in...

If God brings you to
it, He will bring you through
it.

Who is Obama?, ..... I wanna know.

2011-12-13T19:50:00.000-06:00

WHERE ARE THE GIRLFRIENDS of OBAMA?

I hadn't thought about this - but where are O's past girlfriends - surely he had at least one? No past girl friends popping up anywhere? Strange - strange to the point of being downright weird!

OK, this is just plain old common sense, no political agendas for either side. Just common knowledge for citizens of a country, especially American citizens, who know every little tidbit about every other president (and their wives) that even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy wore a back brace or Truman played the piano.

We are Americans! Our Media vets these things out! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man.' We care, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president.

Honestly, and this is a personal thing ... but it's bugged me for years that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. Taken his charisma, which caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity....

We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden's aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton-we all know about their heart problems. How could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?

Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy," or "What a great dancer!"

Now look at the rest of what we know... no classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him.

Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Check for groomsmen. Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony.

Has anyone talked to the professors? Isn't it odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.

When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos? Every president provides the public with all their photos, etc. for their library. What has he released? Nada - other than what was in this so-called biography! And experts who study writing styles, etc. claim it was not O's own words or typical of his speech patterns, etc.

Does this make any of you wonder?

Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama's past, saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc. ?

Not one person has ever come forward from his past.

This should really be a cause for great concern. Did you see the movie titled, The Manchurian Candidate?

Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are... someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face...someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us.

George Stephanopoulos, ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. Even George questions why no one has acknowledged that the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos was a classmate of Obama at Columbia-class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him.

Since he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his records? Do you like millions of others, simply assume all this is explainable - even though no one can?

NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA

Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, butnot one remembers him. For example,Wayne Allyn Root was (like Obama) a political science major at Columbia , who graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a single classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia ... EVER!

Nobody recalls him.

Root adds that he was, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him."

At our 20th class reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."

Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook, and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia .

How can this be?

NOTE: Wayne Allyn Root can easily be verified. He graduated valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same '83 class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.

Some other interesting questions.

Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?

Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?

According to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama - but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases.

WHAT!?

The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.

No wonder all his records are sealed!

Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to know him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago and burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention and made us swoon with his charm, poise, and speaking pizzazz.

One of the biggest CONS this country has ever seen, and they are getting away with it.

Wal-Mart vs. The Political Morons

2011-12-13T18:16:00.000-06:00

Wal-Mart vs. The Political Morons

1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.

8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USAof which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.

11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)

12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.

This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature

It is now official that the majority of you are corrupt morons:

a.. The U.S.Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.

b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.

c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.

d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.

e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.

f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.

g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.

AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ?

Folks, keep this circulating. It is very well stated. Maybe it will end up in the e-mails of some of our "duly elected' (they never read anything) and their staff will clue them in on how Americans feel.

AND

I know what's wrong. We have lost our minds to "Political Correctness" !

Someone please tell me what's
wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!
We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,?

In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile, and Turkey .. And now Pakistan ......previous home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour
Hundreds of Billions of $'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries! We have hundreds of adoptable childrenwho are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc,etc.

YET......................

They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.

We give over $500 billion dollars to illegal aliens every year.

Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries and illegals. Sad isn't it?

Dial 112

2011-11-25T14:29:00.002-06:00

Some knew about the red light on cars, but not Dialing 112.
It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her to never pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called, 112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.
I never knew about the 112 Cell Phone feature. I tried it on my AT&T phone & it said, "Dialing Emergency Number."

Especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going on to a safe place.

*Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed that 112 was a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about "Dialing, 112"

You may want to send this to every Man, Woman & Youngster you know; it may well save a life.

This applies to ALL 50 states
PLEASE PASS ALONG TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT CAN SAVE A LIFE....

Columbus Allie Childers

2011-11-23T19:58:00.010-06:00

Columbus Allie Childers

(As remembered by his Grandson, Larry Stephen Childers)

I’ve been asked to record my memories of my Grandfather, …… Columbus Allie Childers.

It was recently pointed out to me, that of all of his Grand children I might possess the greatest personal knowledge of him, since I grew up in Morgantown, Kentucky and knew him from my first recollection ‘til his death.

Most people called him “C.A.” but members of the family normally called him “Allie”.

Allie was born in Butler County, Kentucky on Oct. 10^th, 1891. Son of Thomas Alfred Childers and Laura Belle Johnson Childers. Thomas was a farmer in the northern part of Butler County. Allie grew up there and went to school in and area known at the time as “Long Branch Hollow”. Called ‘Long Branch Holler’ by the residents of the day. In addition to the school, which was one of the newer buildings, there were several homes along the creek, … including the homes of Thomas Alfred and his father Thomas Nathan Childers.

Butler County is divided into North and South sides of the Green River that flows through the county. The populous of the northern part of the county were known as “North Siders”. The Southern part of the county is home to Morgantown (The County Seat) and was considered the more affluent part of the county. While the “North Siders” were considered (and, indeed, were) the poorer citizens of the county.

Allie left home at the age of 15. There just wasn’t much in the ‘Holler’ for a young man, unless he intended to be a farmer. Apparently Allie wasn’t of mind to be a farmer.

He worked what odd jobs he could find including construction and road crews.

In 1913 Allie married his first wife, Eva Viola Martin (Born 1894) (Died 1932)

Eva was a lightly built, a small boned person, subject to often ill health.

Eva was the mother of Allie’s 5 children:

Butrice Myrl

Charles

Rollie Thomas

Mildred Cleo

Helena Therlo

I don’t know the history as to how he came to be in the grocery business, but he did eventually come to have a modest home and a small country grocery on the North side of the county. Only about five miles from the 'Holler'. The old frame house set on stone pillars about 2 feet above the ground, had no plumbing or electric, and utilized an “outhouse” out back for attending to personal business. The house wasn’t insulated and the interior was papered with old news papers (which was common at the time). The floor was a single layer of planks with cracks between them that allowed a nice view of the chickens that spent much of the heat of the day under the house in an effort to stay cool. Heat was with a wooden cook stove in the kitchen and a smaller wood/coal stove in the living room. Air conditioning, at the time was, …. ‘Open the windows and hope for a breeze’.

A brief bit of personal history here. My Father, Charles Childers, and my Mother, Geneva Lee Miller Childers. Had been in Willow Run, Mich. During the second World War, where they worked in an Aircraft Plant building ‘Liberator Bombers’ to be used in the war. After their stint in Michigan They came back to the ‘North Side’ to stay with Allie until they could acquire new jobs in Kentucky. I was born in Allie’s house and was already kicking and screaming when the doctor (Dr. D. G. Miller) arrived at the house.

In addition to the store Allie had built a small ‘Mill’ on the property next to the store. Here he would grind grain for the area residents, into flour and other meals. He would grind the grains for a percentage of the finished grind, and this he would bag and sell in the store to those who had no grain of their own.

He had the first radio on the ‘North Side’. It was a battery-powered affair that required earphones to listen to the radio. People would gather in the store on Saturday night to take turns listening to that old radio.

During what is know as ‘ The Great Depression’, Allie let people have merchandise on ‘Credit’ (he didn’t have the heart to send them away with no food) until he, himself, went bankrupt. My dad, Charles, and my Uncle, Rollie, both chipped in to help their father get back on his feet and get the store running again, … with an understanding with the residents of the area that he could not continue to let them have their food stuffs without paying for them, if they wished to continue to have the store in the area.

He met and married Lura Evelyn Kitchens, Called Evie by family and friends, in 1943. I have no knowledge of where and how they met.

The Move

After the war the population of the “North Side” began to dwindle, as younger folk left the area to find better paying work than the ‘Hill Farming’ they were accustomed to.

With his children having all left the “North Side” Allie found, and rented, space in Morgantown and moved his store to town.

It was a small store by anyone’s standards. When you walked in the front door there was a wall of grocery items on the right wall, two shelving units to the left of that and the sales counter on the left wall. An extension of the sales counter (toward the front wall of the store) housed a glass enclosed candy case. The meat department was across the rear of the store with a refrigerated display case in front of that for the meats that had been cut and prepared for sale. With the additional space for a ‘Cold Drink’ box and a refrigerated dairy box, that was it.

The bread rack sat by the front door, and I can remember when the large sandwich loaf of white bread was $.10 (ten cents) a loaf. What was once called ‘penny candy’ was 3 for a penny in those days. 8 oz. Cokes were $.05 (a nickel) and the large 12 oz. size was $.10 (ten cents). A regular sized candy bar was a nickel and a large size was a dime. (The ‘Good Ole Days’)

Allie had attached a small building to the front of his store, which sat on a small space between the storefront and the sidewalk. Here he had a soft serve ice cream machine where I would work after school and Saturdays, making milk shakes, malts, banana splits and ice cream cones.

When Allie moved to town from the ‘North Side” he sold the old ‘Home place’, house, store, mill and all. This money helped him purchase a house in Morgantown and stock his store. This house had electric and some plumbing. There was running water in the kitchen sink and a small electric water heater. There was still the proverbial “Out House” in the back corner of the back yard.

Allie and Evie lived in this house with Allie’s mother, Laura Belle and Evie’s Mother, (I only knew her as ‘Mrs. Kitchens’). As the two elder ladies became more infirm with age, Allie added a bathroom in the house, complete with tub, shower and all of the other amenities, plus a larger water heater. The house was still heated with one ‘Warm Morning’ coal-burning stove, which sat in the dinning room, … pretty much central within the house. The old outhouse was removed and filled in.

As Allie got older, close to retirement, he and his son Charles decided he needed a new home. One less drafty, better insulated, less upkeep. Allie owned a building lot in Morgantown, next to what was then the LDS Chapel. Charles struck him a deal. Charles would build, at his expense, a new house for Allie and Evie (both of the mothers had died by this time) and they would be able to live in it for the rest of their lives, without paying anything for the house, provided Allie deed the property to Charles and he could assume rights of ownership upon both their deaths. …Agreed.

Allie closed the ice cream shop shortly before he closed the store and retired. He took the ice cream machine home and put it in the garage of the new house, where we would go from time to time to make ice cream to take home and put in the freezer.

Other Business ventures

Tired of following construction work, Charles opened a small store in Morgantown. He bought a well-used 1-½ ton truck and started trucking livestock feed, paint, hardware and Misc. farm supplies. He called this business ‘Childers Farm Store’. As time passed and this business grew he saw a need for more space and more inventory, also a wider variety of inventory.

Charles consulted with his brother, Rollie, and with Allie, and they all decided to pool their resources in a common business venture. Uncle Rollie moved his family to Kentucky, and the three of them opened a new and larger store, which was “C.A. Childers & Sons Farm store”, while closing Charles’ older small store.

This partnership viewed Allie’s grocery supply connections as a good resource with which to supply a restaurant, which they opened. Allie’s previous dealings with the farm community on the North Side led him to realize a need that was not being filled in the area. A ‘Cream Station’. The partnership opened a commercial Cream Station where they separated the heavy cream from raw milk, for which; there was a ready market in the business of making butter.

During this time Raymond Rice and Betty came to Morgantown and Ray worked in Allie’s store as a butcher, and helped in the restaurant.

Times were still difficult in the early ‘50’s and profits were not quite what they would like them to be. They closed the Cream Station considering that its meager profit was not worth the time invested. Ray wasn’t able to make enough to afford to stay and he went back west.

Rollie decided he would be able to make a better future for him and his family if he were to return to the west. Allie and Charles bought his share of the business and he was off to Arizona.

As Allie neared retirement age he was ready to start divesting himself of financial responsibilities. They had the Farm Store, Grocery and Restaurant appraised, and reached a settlement. Charles kept the Farm Store and Allie kept the Grocery and the Restaurant.

Allie subsequently sold the restaurant and continued to operate the grocery until he retired.

The House

That first house that Allie bought when he moved to town had a nice front porch. But it seems Allie had a thing about having a porch on the backside of the house. So he built one in an inside corner between two wings of the house. But when he decided to add a bathroom, this seemed like the logical place, so he enclosed the porch and built the bath.

This is good, …… but now he had no porch! So,…. He built a large porch across the back of the house. But when he decided they needed another bedroom, this seemed like the logical place. He enclosed the porch and turned it into a nice bedroom. Ah, …. A lot of room. But he had no porch! %#@!

The new bedroom didn’t come completely to the side corner of the house, so he used that space to build a porch. Now, …. We’re finished.

Not Quite.

Allie took and interest in starting his garden sets from seed, but he needed a small Green House. You guessed it,…. He closed in the porch with double layer of plastic on a wood frame to create his green house. %^@!#$,………….. NO PORCH!

I guess it’s a good thing that this is about the time Charles built him a new house, or he would still be building porches on that old house.

The Workshop

Beside that old house (the one with all of the porches) there was a two-part building. The front part was the coalhouse where Allie kept his winter supply of coal to heat the house. The back part was a Wood Working Shop. Complete with wood lathe, drill press, table saw and sundry other tools that would furnish a wood shop.

You never knew what to expect to come out of that shop. Windmills, small decorator wheel barrows, misc. small furnishings, ….. An unending list. Allie taught me how to use the wood lathe. And I turned out many small, some odd, items. But I had fun.

Temperament

I spent quite a lot of time with my Grand Father (Papaw, …I called him). He was a person that I suspect anyone could like. He was a quiet type of person. I never heard him raise his voice, or swear. His favorite by-line when perturbed was “Ah shucks”.

For all of the years I knew him, he didn’t own a car. He walked to and from the store every day. It was only about 4 blocks, but he walked it, Sun, Rain or Snow.

He developed heart problems later in life and I was with him in the Hartford, KY. Hospital when the final heat attack took him.

A good man. I wish you could have known him.

(These are the things I remember most. There may be other things that come to mind later)

Crabby Old Man…........ In a Nursing Home.

2011-11-21T14:54:00.000-06:00

.

What do you see nurses? . . . . . What do you see?
What are you thinking . . . . . when you're looking at me?
A crabby old man .. . . . . not very wise,
Uncertain of habit . . . . . with faraway eyes?

Who dribbles his food . . . . . and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice . . . . . 'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice .. . . . . the things that you do.
And forever is losing . . . . . A sock or shoe?

Who, resisting or not . . . . . lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding . . . . . The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking? . . . . . Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse . . . . . you're not looking at me.

I'll tell you who I am. . . . . . As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, . . . . . as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of Ten . . . . . with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters . . . . . who love one another.

A young boy of Sixteen . . . . with wings on his feet.
Dreaming that soon now . . . . . a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty . . . . . my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows . .. . . . that I promised to keep.

At Twenty-Five, now . . .. . . I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . . . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . . . . . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . . . . With ties that should last.

At Forty, my young sons . . .. . . have grown and are gone,
But my woman's beside me . . . . .. to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more, . . . . . babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children . . . . . My loved one and me.

Dark days are upon me . . . . . my wife is now dead.
I look at the future . . . . . shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing . . . . . young of their own.
And I think of the years .. . . . . and the love that I've known.

I'm now an old man . . . . .. and nature is cruel.
Tis jest to make old age . . . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles . . . . . grace and vigor, depart.
There is now a stone . . . . where I once had a heart.

But inside this old carcass . . . . . a young guy still dwells,
And now and again . . . . . my battered heart swells.
I remember the joys . . . . . I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . . . life over again.

I think of the years, all too few . . . . .. gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . . that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people . . . . . open and see.
Not a crabby old man . . . . Look closer . .. . see ME!!

Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within.
We will all, one day, be there, too!

Here, .......let me tick some people off...

Thank you to Florida, Kentucky, and Missouri,...... which are the first states that will require drug testing when applying for welfare.

Some people are crying and calling this unconstitutional. How is this unconstitutional?

It's OK to drug test people who work for their money, but not for those who don't?…

Miss Beatrice,

The church organist,

Was in her eighties

And had never been married. She was admired for her
sweetness and kindness to all.

One afternoon the pastor

came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint

sitting room.

She invited him to have a

seat while she prepared tea...

As he sat facing her old Hammond organ,the young

minister noticed a cut glass
bowl Sitting on top of it.

The bowl was filled with water,

and in the water floated. of all

things,a condom!
When she returned

With tea and scones,they

began to chat. The pastor

tried to stifle his curiosity

About the bowl of water and its
strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.

'Miss Beatrice', he said,

'I wonder if you would tell me about this?

Pointing to the bowl.

'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it
wonderful? I was walking

through the park a few

months ago and I found

this little package on the
ground.

The directions said

To place it on the organ,

Keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease.
Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.

Christmas 2011 -- Birth of a New Tradition

2011-11-05T15:29:00.000-05:00

As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods -- merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is!

It's time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper?

Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?

Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.

Who wouldn't appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates.

Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plunking down the Benjamin's on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, orlawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.

There are a bazillion owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn't about big National chains -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open.

How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?

Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning ladyfor a day.

My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.

OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.

Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre? Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.

Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of light, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG tip.

You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn't imagine. THIS is the new American Christmas tradition.

BUCHANAN TO OBAMA

2011-11-01T12:24:00.001-05:00

Finally............It is Said Publicly. I have never seen the white side explained better! Pat Buchanan had the guts to say it. It is about time.

BUCHANAN TO OBAMA
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America .. Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude??

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of whiteAmerica ?Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

"End the deficit in 5 minutes"

2011-10-26T19:43:00.001-05:00

Warren Buffett,............

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all
sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th
amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months
& 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in
1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to
the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the
land...all because of public pressure.

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 collects a salary while in office
and receives no pay when they are 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 are void effective 1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen
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. Maybe it is
time.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.

Marriage Counseling:

2011-10-11T01:21:00.000-05:00

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling.

When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endur...ed.

Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow.The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.

The therapist turned to the husband and said, 'this is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?'

'Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish

Obama ADMITS That He Is NOT Eligible To Be President !!! (mirror)

Obama Admits He Was Born In Kenya

2011-09-17T17:25:00.000-05:00

Fw: What if a committee of prominent Democrats...

2011-09-16T12:20:00.002-05:00

What if a committee of prominent Democrats…approached Barack Obama and asked him not to run in 2012?

[ Via Breitbart TV, skip ahead to 3:05 for the comment. < http://www.breitbart.tv/john-fund-dems-may-ask-obama-not-to-run/ > ]

Three months ago, I'd say this concept would have no chance, a zero-probability occurrence. Today, with the economy asleep in a Keynesian coma and the world facing a new European-driven financial crisis…is it worth a second thought? I still give it a 1% chance, minimum. Note that John Fund's not talking about a primary challenge here; that strategy would alienate black Democrats, look like racism, create more division and the party would fracture before the general election in front of our eyes. So that is not an option.

The only way to really hold the liberal base together would be if Obama agreed to step down. How would that happen? It could only happen after several of the most powerful people in the Democratic party privately appealed to him to do so. Think about it. Now, think about it some more.

And, if you believe this Gawker item from a few days ago, there's reason to think he might consider it. Supposedly Obama is so demoralized by his political fortunes that people around him suspect he might be clinically depressed. If things are as bad as that, he might actually relish a chance to hand his re-election campaign off to someone else and be rid of the frustration.

You can imagine the announcement speech: "I've said many times that I'd rather be a good one-term president than a mediocre two-termer. I think I've achieved that in the passage of our landmark new health-care law and our many successes against Al Qaeda. But I promised you after I was sworn in that this economy would recover within three years and, for various reasons, that hasn't happened. Therefore, I'm announcing tonight…" etc.

My Rationale:

1) Obama agrees and he goes out on a high note;

2) He sets Hillary up for another historic presidency;

3) And suddenly Democrats are on strong (or even stronger) footing for the election — especially given the Clinton legacy of economic boom times.

4) In return, Obama gets basically whatever he wants from the party leadership, for life.

5) The highest paid community organizer and most requested speech giver in the free world.

6) Or, an appointment to the US Supreme Court.

Would this idea of a direct and "voluntary" decision not to run again really prevent a schism in the Democratic party? I don't know, but it makes sense and just might work especially if the Democrats' primary objective is to stay in control of the WH, no matter what it takes to do so.

I would bet you a dollar that Congressional Black Caucus members and more than just some black Democratic voters would conclude that it wasn't as voluntary as it was portrayed to be and played out. And, you know what, they'd be right.

The Worlds Largest Army

2011-09-06T13:14:00.002-05:00

True story and most people will never know it.

Here's an interesting side bar.

After the Japanese decimated our fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941 , they could have sent their troop ships and carriers directly to California to finish what they started. The prediction from our Chief of Staff was we would not be able to stop a massive invasion until they reached the Mississippi River . Remember, we had a 2 million man army and war ships in other localities, so why did they not invade?
After the war, the remaining Japanese generals and admirals were asked that question. Their answer....they know that almost every home had guns and the Americans knew how to use them.
The world's largest army ... America 's hunters! I had never thought about this....
A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:
There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin. Allow me to restate that number. Over the last several months, Wisconsin 's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.
More men under arms than in Iran.
More than in France and Germany combined.
These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.
That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home.
Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. The point?
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.

The new Lab.

2011-08-23T18:38:00.000-05:00

They told me the big black Lab's name was Reggie , as I looked at him lying in his pen. The shelter was clean, no-kill, and the people really friendly. I'd only been in the area for six months, but everywhere I went in the small college town, people were welcoming and open. Everyone waves when you pass them on the street.

But something was still missing as I attempted to settle in to my new life here, and I thought a dog couldn't hurt. Give me someone to talk to. And I had just seen Reggie 's advertisement on the local news. The shelter said they had received numerous calls right after, but they said the people who had come down to see him just didn't look like "Lab people," whatever that meant. They must've thought I did.

But at first, I thought the shelter had misjudged me in giving me Reggie and his things, which consisted of a dog pad, bag of toys almost all of which were brand new tennis balls, his dishes and a sealed letter from his previous owner.
See, Reggie and I didn't really hit it off when we got home. We struggled for two weeks (which is how long the shelter told me to give him to adjust to his new home). Maybe it was the fact that I was trying to adjust, too. Maybe we were too much alike.

For some reason, his stuff (except for the tennis balls --- he wouldn't go anywhere without two stuffed in his mouth) got tossed in with all of my other unpacked boxes. I guess I didn't really think he'd need all his old stuff, that I'd get him new things once
he settled in. But it became pretty clear pretty soon that he wasn't going to.

I tried the normal commands the shelter told me he knew, ones like "sit" and "stay" and "come" and "heel," and he'd follow them - when he felt like it. He never really seemed to listen when I called his name --- sure, he'd look in my direction after the fourth or fifth time I said it, but then he'd just go back to doing whatever. When I'd ask again, you could almost see him sigh and then grudgingly obey.

This just wasn't going to work. He chewed up a couple of shoes and some unpacked boxes. I was a little too stern with him and he resented it, I could tell.
The friction got so bad that I couldn't wait for the two weeks to be up, and when it was, I was in ‘full-on’ search mode for my cell phone amid all of my unpacked stuff. I remembered leaving it on the stack of boxes for the guest room, but I also mumbled,
rather cynically, that the "damn dog probably hid it on me."

Finally, I found it, but before I could punch up the shelter's number, I also found his pad and other toys from the shelter. I tossed the pad in Reggie 's direction and he snuffed it and wagged, some of the most enthusiasm I'd seen since bringing him home.
But then I called, "Hey, Reggie , you like that? Come here and I'll give you a treat." Instead, he sort of glanced in my direction – maybe "glared" is more accurate – and then gave a discontented sigh and flopped down ... with his back to me.

Well, that's not going to do it either, I thought. And I punched the shelter phone number.

But I hung up when I saw the sealed envelope. I had completely forgotten about that, too. "Okay, Reggie ," I said out loud, "let's see if your previous owner has any advice."

____________ _________ _________ _________

To Whoever Gets My Dog:
Well, I can't say that I'm happy you're reading this, a letter I told the shelter could only be opened by Reggie 's new owner. I'm not even happy writing it. If you're reading this, it means I just got back from my last car ride with my Lab after dropping him off at the shelter. He knew something was different. I have packed up his pad and toys before and set them by the back door before a
trip, but this time... it's like he knew something was wrong.
And something is wrong...which is why I have to try to make it right.

So let me tell you about my Lab in the hopes that it will help you bond with him and he with you.

First, he loves tennis balls. The more the merrier. Sometimes I think he's part squirrel, the way he hordes them. He usually always has two in his mouth, and he tries to get a third in there. Hasn't done it yet.
Doesn't matter where you throw them, he'll bound after them, so be careful. Don't do it by any roads. I made that mistake once, and it almost cost him dearly.

Next, commands.
Maybe the shelter staff already told you, but I'll go over them again:
Reggie knows the obvious ones ---"sit," "stay," "come," "heel."
He knows hand signals, too:"back" to turn around and go back when you put your hand straight up; and "over" if you put your hand out right or left. "Shake" for shaking water off, and "paw" for a high-five. He does "down" when he feels like lying down --- I bet you could work on that with him some more. He knows"ball" and "food" and "bone" and "treat" like nobody's business.

I trained Reggie with small food treats. Nothing opens his ears like little pieces of hot dog.

Feeding schedule: twice a day, once about seven in the morning, and again at six in the evening. Regular store-bought stuff; the shelter has the brand.

He's up on his shots. Call the clinic on 9th Street and update his info with yours; they'll make sure to send you reminders for when he's due. Be forewarned: Reggie hates the vet. Good luck getting him in the car. I don't know how he knows when it's time to go to the vet, but he knows.

Finally, give him some time.
I've never been married, so it's only been Reggie and me for his whole life. He's gone everywhere with me, so please include him on your daily car rides if you can. He sits well in the backseat, and he doesn't bark or complain. He just loves to be around people, and me most especially.

Which means that this transition is going to be hard, with him going to live with someone new.

And that's why I need to share one more bit of info with you....

His name's not Reggie .

I don't know what made me do it, but when I dropped him off at the shelter, told them his name was Reggie .
He's a smart dog, he'll get used to it and will respond to it, of that I have no doubt. But I just couldn't bear to give them his real name. For me to do that,
it seemed so final, that handing him over to the shelter was as good as me admitting that I'd never see him again. And if I end up coming back,getting him, and tearing up this letter, it means everything's fine.
But if someone else is reading it, well ... well it means that his new owner should know his real name. It'll help you bond with him. Who knows, maybe you'll even notice a change in his demeanor if he's been giving you problems.

His real name is "Tank.”

Because, that is what I drive.

Again, if you're reading this and you're from the area, maybe my name has been on the news. I told the shelter that they couldn't make " Reggie "available for adoption until they received word from my company commander.
You see, my parents are gone, I have no siblings, no one I could've
left Tank with, and it was my only real request of the Army upon my
deployment to Iraq , that they make one phone call the shelter ... in the "event" ... to tell them that Tank could be put up for adoption.
Luckily, my colonel is a dog-guy, too, and he knew where my platoon was headed. He said he'd do it personally. And if you're reading this, then he made good on his word.

Well, this letter is getting downright depressing, even though, frankly,
I'm just writing it for my dog. I couldn't imagine if I was writing it for a
wife and kids and family ... but still, Tank has been my family for the
last six years, almost as long as the Army has been my family.

And now I hope and pray that you make him part of your family, too,
and that he will adjust and come to love you the same way he loved me.

That unconditional love from a dog is what I take with me to Iraq as an inspiration to do something selfless, to protect innocent people from those who would do terrible things ... and to keep those terrible people from coming to the U.S. If I have to give up Tank in order to do it, I am glad to have done so. He is my example of service and of love.
I hope I honored him by my service to my country and comrades.

All right, that's enough.
I deploy this evening and have to drop this letter off at the shelter.
I don't think I'll say another good-bye to Tank, though. I cried too much the first time. Maybe I'll peek in on him and see if he finally got that third tennis ball in his mouth.

Good luck with Tank. Give him a good home, and give him an extra kiss goodnight – every night – from me.

Thank you, Paul Mallory
____________ _________ _________ _______

I folded the letter and slipped it back in the envelope. Sure, I had heard of Paul Mallory , everyone in town knew him, even new people like me. Local kid, killed in Iraq a few months ago and posthumously earning the Silver Star when he gave his life to save three buddies. Flags had been at half-mast all summer.

I leaned forward in my chair and rested my elbows on my knees, staring at the dog.

"Hey, Tank," I said quietly.

The dog's head whipped up, his ears cocked and his eyes bright.

" C'mere boy."

He was instantly on his feet, his nails clicking on the hardwood floor. He sat in front of me, his head tilted, searching for the name he hadn't heard in months.

"Tank," I whispered.

His tail swished.

I kept whispering his name, over and over, and each time, his ears lowered, his eyes softened, and his posture relaxed as a wave of contentment just seemed to flood him. I stroked his ears, rubbed his shoulders, buried my face
into his scruff and hugged him.

"It's me now, Tank, just you and me. Your old pal gave you to me."
Tank reached up and licked my cheek.
"So whatdaya say we play some ball?" His ears perked again.
"Yeah? Ball? You like that? Ball?" Tank tore from my hands and disappeared into the next room.

And when he came back, he had three tennis balls in his mouth.

Childers Family in American History

2011-07-25T14:48:00.003-05:00

My Family in America

Little did I know that my father being from the wrong side of the
river in the back hills of Kentucky came from a rich heritage that
began with the pilgrims in Plymouth, Jamestown Virginia and some that
met them as they landed on the shores in what then was called New
England by those in the Old World. Not just one of my ancestors came
to America but several of my ancestors helped settle the Plymouth
Colony and as well as other family members that were in Jamestown
Virginia and other places across the colonies in the early 1600's.
They came from England, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, France and some
from Switzerland. There were also a few ancestors that watched from
the shores of the New World as these European ancestors boats landed
at various places in the new land.

With Martin Luther be the influence in having the bible translated
into English in the King James Version, this might have led some of
his brother's Jacob descendants to emigrate to England and later to be
converted to the Puritan way of thinking. With several religious
controversy in the early 150's Martin Luther may have some influence
in John Calvin's life as well. When Calvin fled to Switzerland he may
have been an influence on ancestors in Switzerland of the mid 1500's
to be converted to Calvin?s views which lated could have been an push
for them to come to America. In Calvin's era the Christian Church had
become encumbered with practices that had little or no scriptural
basis in their origins. With those seeking to perfect their ideas
about Christian behavior, Calvin had some very well thought out ideas
back by scripture that could not be argued as to their scriptural
basis. Calvin felt that there was a need for purification in the
Christian Church and that it was not just about an individual soul but
it was about the soul of the community as well. Puritanism was not
just some passing ideas but those ideas led to Civil War in 1642 with
many Puritans enlisted in Cromwell's army, Many of the puritans in
parliament as Whigs were beginning to be a political threat. With
growing persecution to the Puritans, America was the answer to a safe
haven to establish a Godly community. With their sense of mission
these Puritan spread their ideas where ever they went so that those
ideas did exist in all the early Colonies. With the Calvinistic idea
that his followers were among the saved led to problems with the
indians as the indians were considered as heathens. This idea of
being God's chosen has had an impact on America today that the idea of
America being the chosen land still exists today among its citizens.
These Puritans had made covenants with God that they would live
accordingly by his scriptures and those chosen would be responsibly to
the community. With their belief of being the chosen people and
without questions of the soundness of their beliefs America could be
conquered with their determination. They could make this Idea of the
City on the Hill work and it was accomplished. With their landing on
new land their new ideas created an exceptional America.

These early ancestors had ideas about religion that were of Puritan
beliefs that were not tolerated in their homelands. Many accounts
have been found that many of these ancestors were educated which in
tern means that they had taken the time to figure out for themselves
that the Puritan beliefs were of sound standing. Being educated men
they knew how valuable education was in the development of young minds
as well as provide training for young ministers and it was an
important part of building a community to establish schools early on.
For the Puritans faith and reason worked well together, hence schools
were beginnings of reason. Being educated the Puritans were quick to
accept new ideas of psychology and scientific ideas as well which only
strengthened their communities.

Strangely enough with the Puritan openness to new ideas in various
fields of learning they were very much accepting of any form of what
might be one of God's enemies to establishing a Godly community.
God's chosen elect were responsible for the protection of the
community and trials were held in public on all forms of so called
evil. God's community had to be protected within and sometimes purged
as well. In government these Puritans had no love for royalty chose a
form of government in their individual communities that was more a
form of a small republic. Being far away from the mother country it
was easy in some ways to govern themselves with out the interference
from England. They formed communities that the family as the basic
unit but the godly comm came next. They were on the watch of each
other at all times as they felt it was their duty to be their
brother's keeper. God was the higher order of the communities but the
communities were the elect to govern God's community. The people
themselves were expected to follow self-governance in following
moral-law and participate in the community government as well. They
were to be examples of the glory of God in themselves but at the same
time they could be human. The Puritans having escaped to practice
religion on their own terms were however very intolerant of others
outside of their circles and those withing those circles had new ideas
were banished. But they as well were quick

to the promotion of their ideas of religion, the Puritans spread
these beliefs beyond the New England colonies into other parts of
America which ideas were foundation of the formative influence of what
we call America. Among ideas of religion were also ideas of
organizing of communities, colleges and schools, strong work ethics,
the idea of separation of church and state, and the idea of being Gods
elect to show the world how things should be done. They saw in their
eyes as being God's elect which made them concerned for the community
of the world with America as being a place of refugee for Gods elect.
This New World would be where new communities could be created the
way God intended for people to live. Several of my ancestors were
among these early New Englanders and maybe their stories are not as
well know as some of the following ancestors stories but still the
same they were part of the Puritan movement in America and made their
contribution in the founding of America.

In finding the English Church hopeless it was James Cole my 10th
Great Grandfather, who came with his wife Mary Lobel and 2 sons from
England in the early 1630's to America. James was an educated man and
Mary his wife came from an esteemed family with her father Mathieu
Lobel as a noted botanist and physician to William of Orange and Jame
I. James Cole came as an indentured servant but he also wanted to
worship God how they desired and not necessarily because of economic
reasons. James Cole made a name for himself as having the tavern in
the America as well as being the best known innkeeper of Cole's
Tavern in Plymouth. To this day there is a monument to James Coles
on Coles Hill in Plymouth which is the first cemetery in Plymouth on
land donated by James Cole which overlooks the harbor in front of
Plymouth Rock. James as an innkeeper held an very important position
of the community as for the inn provided a place for lodging, food and
of course drink for those that visited the community. He was a
respected man of the community but both he and his wife were fined
more than once for giving strong drink to the indians, drinking on the
sabbath and James for his drunkenness. Life in Plymouth was a very
closed society in the sense that the people were determined to keep
out influences that might destroy their concept of a godly community.

James Cole's Great grandson Hugh married Martha Luther whose father
Reverend Samuel Luther was kidnapped as a young boy of 9 by Pequot
Indians. Young Samuel watched his father Captain John Luther killed by
these same indians. Samuel most likely did not see his father Captain
John Luther when he was buried in the Delaware Bay as recorded in
Winthrop?s Journal. Young Samuel was hastily carried away by the
Pequot indians and lived with them for 5 or 6 weeks until other
indians were asked by the Swedish Governor to go and fetch him and
returned to the fort . It was not a foreign idea for Captain John
Luther to desire religious freedom as his 2nd Great Grandfather Jacob
Luther was close to his brother to Martin Luther. These family
ideas of the Luther family surely had an influence on Captain John
Luther's reasons to come from England to America to escape the what he
thought were corruptions in the English Church. With the building
Winthrop?s idea of the City on the Hill came many risks and much
heartache but what survived was that determination and courage to stay
true to their interpretation of what constituted living how the
scriptures taught and continuing to create a better society. In
creating the City on the Hill came suspicions of evil lurking in the
shadows and the lack of tolerance for any outside ideas that might
corrupt the community. It was this unwavering idea of the making a
God like community which was so very intense in that it pushed more of
the younger people from its society. When the young man Roger
Williams's different interpretations of how religion should be
practiced it lead to his trial in which he was convicted of sedition
and heresy in October 1635. It was Hugh Cole and his father in law
Samuel Luther who also shared the different views of Roger Williams
which would lead them to follow Williams in the settling Rhode Island
which became a haven for Jew, Baptist and other unwelcome pilgrims
wanting a new life. Roger Williams was very friendly to the indians in
the area and spoke their language. Being a follower of Williams,
Hugh Cole was also a friend to the indians and his friend King Philip
of the Wampanoag tribe was helpful in retrieving his 2 sons back when
they were kidnaped by Wapanoag warriors. When the King Philips War
erupted in1675 which was one of the most intense events of the
pilgrims in the 1600's, it was his friend King Philip who warned Hugh
that he could no longer constrain his warriors and that his home would
be burned. It was not even an hour as Hugh was leaving he that
watched his home going up in flames from a distance but he latter
returned to rebuild his home which still stands today being 330 years
old.

While some of the family were having their challenges in the Puritan
areas of New England some of the other family were facing their
challenges as well close to Jamestown and other parts of Virginia in
the 1630's. Several family members were among the first to settle in
the areas of the southern colonies of Virginia and the Carolina's.
When Jost Hite came from Germany he brought with him his valuable
asset of wits and determination which eventually brought him to
Virginia. Jost Hite was what we now call a land developer of the
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Jost had the promise of the beautiful
valley if he could persuade 30 other families to settle there as well.
With some surveying needing to be done, a young man of the age of
16 came to do the job for Jost Hite. This young man was George
Washington who must have been impressed in his young age by Jost Hite
while staying at Jost's home. George Washington later commented in
his journal that he wished that more men could be like Jost Hite. It
would be interesting to know how the influence of Jost Hite had made
a lasting impression on young George and if it was an effect in his
determination to persevere in the War of Independence. My ancestors
had very strong feelings about the injustices of England which worked
their way into the every day lives of my grandfathers. With these
injustices it was felt a duty by 25 known grandfathers to fight for
freedom from England for our independence. This War of Independence
had a big effect on most of my family as there were only 2
grandfathers that came after the war. A few fathers & sons fought
side by side and while another loyalist grandfather and his son fought
on opposite sides. While some ancestors fought in the war of 1812 it
was most likely the Revolution War which led to some of these family
to migrate to Kentucky for payment of service in the war.

When the Civil War broke out more migration would send one more
family to the fairly new state of Kentucky. James P. West with his
Cherokee wife Nancy left North Caroline shortly after the last child
was born in 1860. With Nancy being Cherokee there were most like
feelings of prejudice in the area and Kentucky being a neutral state
it may have seemed more friendly to his family. Feeling the
prejudices for his own wife James might have felt compassion towards
the Negro and disagreed with the right to own slaves. James left with
his family to Kentucky which would put some distance between problems
that were brewing in the Carolinas and a his brother Thomas who felt
the South had the right to secede from the Union. Leaving behind his
brother and step mother the James P. West family arrived in Warren
County Kentucky only to have a short time later have the Confederate
Army land almost at his backdoor. The Confederate army chose the city
Bowling Green, Warren County Kentucky in November of 1861 as its
headquarters in Kentucky with only a short stay of 4 months. In the
1860 Slave census of Warren County Kentucky there were over 400 slave
owners in the county with over 150 slaves owners that had over 10
slaves in their possession. The large holding of slaves in Warren
county might have made Bowling Green a more likely place as there
might have been more support for states rights and for slave holders
who might have wanted to hold on to their property of slaves. At
this time the members of the town left their beautiful city to the
Confederate Army which when the Union arrived it was in ruins. Bowling
Green has a unique location above the Barron River and a railroad line
from Louisville Kentucky to Nashville Tennessee which would be a great
advantage in transportation of supply?s and troops. When the Union
arrived in the city the Confederates left much in ruin all the way
back to Nashville. Leaving with the Confederate Army was the local
National Guard that sided with the South. With the Nation Guard of
Bowling Green Kentucky that was in support of the South it must having
been very trying times for family members. Later young James R. West
returned to North Carolina in 1866 to then return to Kentucky with his
sweetheart from North Carolina. Living next to people with different
views of how the Union should be would have been quite a trying time
for all families in that area of Kentucky. As far as can be
determined there were 6 family members who fought for the Union. One
grandfather left as a young boy of 16 to join the Union and this same
young boy, Columbus C. Johnson later had a divorce from his first wife
which may have been due to the trauma of the Civil War. Another
Grandfather had just arrived from Ireland and due to wounds died
shortly after his son was born before the war had ended. It is hard
to determine without family histories on how the Civil War effected
families but as history goes on wars still have effected my family. A
grandfather in World War I and my own father in World War II, those
wars did effect my family. Looking back it might be safe to say I
could write about how my family was an influence in the founding of
America.

A SLEEPER AMONG US :.......... (Even I have a past and I'm a nobody)

2011-07-14T17:29:00.002-05:00

This is a very interesting article!
Obama: Where are his girl friends ?????

Where are his girl friends ????? Strange that none have popped up!!!!
Strange to the point of being downright WEIRD!

OK... this is past the 'birthers' questions.... this is just plain old
common sense, no political agendas for either side.

Just common knowledge for citizens of a country, especially American
citizens, who even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe
and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or
Kennedy wore a back brace or Truman played the piano.

We are Americans! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring
for our 'fellow man.' We care, but none of us know one single humanizing
fact about the history of our own president.

Honestly, and this is a personal thing...but it's niggled at me for ages
that no one who ever dated him ever showed up. The simple fact of his
charisma, which caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during
his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity....

We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship
and even her athletic prowess were probed. Biden's aneurisms are no
secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton--we all know about their heart
problems. How could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?

Nope... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy," or
"What a great dancer!" Now look at the rest of this.... no classmates,
not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever heard of him.

I just don't know about this fellow.

Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen.
Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony.

Has anyone talked to the professors? It is odd that no one is bragging
that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.

When did he meet Michele and how? Are there photos? Every president
gives to the public all their photos, etc. for their library. What has
he released?

And who in hell voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010?????

Does this make you wonder?

Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama's past, saying they
knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc. ? Not one person
has ever come forward from his past.

VERY, VERY STRANGE� This should really be a cause for great concern. To
those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced
shadow man.

Did you see a picture called The Manchurian Candidate?

Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are... someone whom we went to
school with remembers our name or face ... someone remembers we were the
clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something
about us.

George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008
campaign. He questions why no one has acknowledged the president was in
their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches
on campus. Stephanopoulos also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia--the
class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him.

While he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college
class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his
records?

NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA

Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia
University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there,
but none remembered him. For example, Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama,
a political science major at Columbia, who also graduated in 1983. In
2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that
knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew
Barack Obama at Columbia ... EVER!

Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83
political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer
than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him."

At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to
be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five
years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class
notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, 'the macha' who knows
everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."

Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook, and Obama
consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia ,
provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or
friends while at Columbia ...

NOTE: Root graduated as valedictorian from his high school,
Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983
as a political science major in the same class in which Barack Hussein
Obama states he was.

Some other interesting questions�;

Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?

Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?

It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one
Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases.

WHAT!?

The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he
is never reported to have lived.

No wonder all his records are sealed!

Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to
know him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago and burst upon the
scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention and made us swoon with his charm,
poise, and speaking pizzazz.

~A Cup of Tea ~

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.

I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys.

Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my mom came home.

My dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' Mom waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy; and she watched him drink it.

Then she said, (as only a mother would know), "'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water, is the toilet?"

---- A Top 12 List That Explains Most Everything ----

2011-05-22T16:56:00.002-05:00

.

When your friends cannot explain why they voted for Democrats, give
them this list.

They can then pick their reasons from this "TOP 12"...

1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of
4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the
same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

2. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a
better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

3. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as
nobody is offended by it.

4. I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a
gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me
from murderers and thieves.

5. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell
us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps
will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

6. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of
babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates
alive.

7. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right
to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits.

8.. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be
allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even
and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the
Democrats see fit.

9. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to
rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks
who would never get their agendas past the voters.

10. I voted Democrat because I think that it's better to pay
billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our
own because it might upset some endangered beetle or gopher.

11. I voted Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most
wonderful country in the world, I was promised "HOPE AND CHANGE".

12. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my
ass it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

VERY QUIETLY OBAMA'S CITIZENSHIP CASE REACHES THE SUPREME COURT

2011-05-03T01:00:00.000-05:00

AP - WASHINGTON D.C. -
In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has Released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College ... Released today, the transcript school indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship.
This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking. Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as President article titled, "Obama Eligibility Questioned," leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's first official visit to the U.K. In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama's legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey . This lawsuit claims Obama's dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president.. Donofrio's case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama's citizenship or qualification to serve as president.

Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama's campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. Attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter...

LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS, THE MEDIA WON'T !

Subject: RE: Issue of Passport?

While I've little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul Hollrah over at FSM did so yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama answering one simple question: What passport did he use when he was shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi ?

So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981, without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a month later?

And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi , what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration?

The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have answers. It makes the debate over Obama's citizenship a rather short and simple one.

Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A : Yes, by his own admission.

Q: What passport did he travel under?
A: There are only three possibilities.
1) He traveled with a U.S. ... Passport,
2) He traveled with a British passport, or
3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.

Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?
A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. .. State Department's "no travel" list in 1981.

Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport.

If he were traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims.. And if he were traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.

Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a "natural born" American citizen between 1981 and 2008.

Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.

SOME OF YOU WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME OF YOU WILL NOT.

If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?

If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?

If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot?

If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed?

If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him?

If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America ?

If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States , wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities?

If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk.

If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment?

If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have ever approved.

If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
Then IF he were Republican, would the media had let him off?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?

Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 21 months -- so you have that much time to come up with an answer.

Every statement and action in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

Only a Farm Kid...

2011-04-21T00:04:00.000-05:00

When you're from the country, your perception is a little different.......

A Missouri farmer in his pickup, drove to a neighbor's, and knocked at the door. A boy, about 9, opened the door

"Is your Dad home?"
"No sir, he isn't; he went to town."
"Well, is your Mother here?"
"No sir, she went to town with Dad."
"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"
"No sir, He went with Mom and Dad."
The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself.
"Is there anything I can do for you? I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give dad a message."
"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie, pregnant."'
The boy thought for a moment. "You would have to talk to Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I don't know how much he charges for Howard."

Missouri has NO illegal aliens

2011-04-18T17:29:00.001-05:00

Missouri's approach to the problem of illegal immigration appears to be more advanced, sophisticated, strict and effective than anything to date in Arizona .

Do the loonies in San Francisco, or the White House, appreciate what Missouri has done? When are our fearless President and his dynamic Attorney General going to take action to require Missouri start accepting illegal immigrants once again?

So, why doesn't Missouri receive attention?

Answer: There are no Mexican illegals in Missouri to demonstrate.

The "Show Me" state has once again shown us how it should be done.

There needs to be more publicity and exposure regarding what Missouri
has done.

In 2007, Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment designating English as the official language of Missouri.
In November, 2008, nearly 90% voting in favor! Thus English became the official language for ALL governmental activity in Missouri. No individual has the right to demand government services in a language
OTHER than English.

In 2008 a measure was passed that required the Missouri Highway Patrol and other law enforcement officials to verify the immigration status of any person arrested, and inform federal authorities if the person is found to be in Missouri illegally. Missouri law enforcement offices receive specific training with respect to enforcement of federal immigration laws.

In Missouri, illegal immigrants do NOT have access to taxpayers benefits such as food stamps and health care through Missouri HealthNET.
In 2009 a measure was passed that ensures Missouri's public institutions of higher education do NOT award financial aid to individuals who are illegally in the United States. In Missouri all post-secondary institutions of higher education to annually certify to the Missouri Dept. of Higher Education that they have NOT knowingly awarded financial aid to students who are unlawfully present in the United States .

So while Arizona has made national news for its new law, it is important to remember, Missouri has been far more proactive in addressing this horrific problem.

Missouri has made it clear that illegal immigrants are NOT welcome in the state and they will certainly NOT receive public benefits at the expense of Missouri taxpayers.
DON'T JUST DELETE THIS AMERICA... KEEP IT GOING UNTIL WE GET ALL 50 STATES TO COMPLY!!!

Politicians, ... or Pirates

2011-03-29T01:08:00.002-05:00

555 PEOPLE--By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them..

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes,WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 555 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but PRIVATE, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 555 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits..... The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who was the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She was the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 555 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 555 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 555 people exercise the power of the
Federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..

If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ...

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 555 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 555 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power..

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the hell happened?
Can you spell 'politicians?'

I hope this goes around THE USA at least 555 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!

GO AHEAD - - - BE AN AMERICAN!!!

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2010-09-27, 1:43 a.m. E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. My girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... Isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb .... After I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.

The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).

;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... But I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life.. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours, Semper Fi,

Alex

PC (Windows) vs Apple (Osx)

2011-02-24T20:19:00.003-06:00

Like the vast majority of people who use computers I have been subjected to the windows operation system, since it was introduced by IBM on their personal computer many years ago. Though it was not an IBM product, they choose it as the operating system for their new PC, and the whole world jumped on the band wagon. Not that it was the best operating system available at the time, but because IBM selected it, everyone wanted to be compatible with the “Great and Glorious IBM”.

The Apple Mac OS came into being many years ago (The exact time frame I do not know) but was not received well by the masses, because they could not see beyond their “Windows” noses. I have to admit that I fell in that classification my self. The Mac OS is faster, better organized with the file structure, more flexible, and much more stable than the Windows products to date. Not to mention that if you are an internet user, the Mac is not susceptible those horrid worms and viruses that are always reeking havoc with Windows..

Throughout my business career, I was locked into Windows, as this was the system of choice of all of my employers. However, once retired, I started looking into the Apple computers and their MAC Osx
operating systems. WOW! What an eye opener!

I bought my first MacBook started using it, and never looked back. To me, it was like moving from a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle to a 2008 Mercedes or BMW. I have trouble understanding, at this point, why so many people are still hung up on Windows.

Well, this week, I purchased the latest MacBook “Air”. A super thin, super light new MacBook, that's all solid state. No spinning disk drive. It's been replaced by a solid-state flash drive. This means more speed. No waiting for a drive to be accessed, instant on when you open the cover.
This light weight unit has all of the features and capabilities of my former unit, ….and more. Except there is no CD/DVD drive. But this something that I seldom use and I have a portable external unit that will plug into the USB port for those times when I need it to load software or burn a CD or DVD.

Now, I have two Apple MacBooks. I guess I'll sell the first one I bought. It's still an excellent computer, but I fell in love with this “Air” model, and heaven knows, I don't need two

All I can say is,”If you haven't made the switch to a MacBook yet, you're penalizing yourself for no good reason”

Go take a look at your nearest Apple Store, or Best Buy.
