RE: Things that make you think

And...another one!

Talk about putting your most valuable where your mouth is!
Apparently this was not "newsworthy"enough for the media to comment about. Can either of the other presidential candidates truthfully come close to this?

.... Just a question for each of us to seek an answer,and not a
statement.

You see...character is what's shown when the public is not looking.
There were no cameras or press invited to what you are about to read about,
and the story comes from one person in New Hampshire.

One evening last July, Senator John McCain of Arizona arrived at the
New Hampshire home of Erin Flanagan for sandwiches, chocolate-chip
cookies and a heartfelt talk about Iraq. They had met at a presidential
debate, when she asked the candidates what they would do to bring home American soldiers - - soldiers like her brother, who had be en killed in action a few months
earlier.

Mr. McCain did not bring cameras or press. Instead, he brought
his youngest son, James McCain, 19, then a private first class in the
Marine Corps about to leave for Iraq. Father and son sat down to hear
more about Ms. Flanagan's brother Michael Cleary, a 24-year-old Army
First Lieutenant killed by an ambush ... a roadside bomb.

No one mentioned the obvious: In just days, Jimmy McCain could face
similar perils. 'I can't imagine what it must have been like for them
as they were coming to meet with a family that ......' Ms. Flanagan recalled,
choking up. 'We lost a dear one,' she finished.

Mr. McCain, now the presumptive Republican nominee, has staked his
candidacy on the promise that American troops can bring stability to
Iraq. What he almost never says is that one of them is his own son, who
spent seven months patrolling Anbar Province and learned of his father's New
Hampshire victory in January while he was digging a stuck military vehicle out of the mud.

Two of Jimmy's three older brothers went into the military. Doug
McCain, 48, was a Navy pilot. Jack McCain, 21, is to graduate from the
Naval Academy next year, raising the chances that his father, if
elected, could become the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower
with a son at war.

I chose to share this with those who I believe will pass it on, to
others who will pass it on. We hear so much inflated trash out there. How
about a simple act of kindness ... and dedication to others placed above oneself?

Has anybody heard if Barack Hussein Obama has served in The American
Armed Services?

This is for all you Barack voters.

From Barack's book, Audacity of Hope:

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an
ugly direction."

HE DID NOT SAY STAND WITH AMERICANS !!!!!


Make today count, tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone!

RE: Things that make you think

TV and a bus
Come sit for awhile and I'll talk you some sense.You just leave that TV and stand by my fence.-- If you wonder why the worlds in a fix it is generally because that people are dicks.--- They think that money comes from a well, and as long as it flows we never will fail.-- The TV likes to tell you a tale and then when it's though to make you a sale. What it tells you for truth is mixed with a lie so you all think you can reach that pie in the sky.---- They lead you to think you should avoid hard work, Then if you don't they call you a jerk. ---We will all get firewood without any axes and we can get a free ride if we just raise the taxes. But the world is real and there's one way to tell and then it's too late because you're on the busride to hell. There is no free ride but that one alone. It is then you are aware that your head is a bone.

RE: Things that make you think

So the scribes and pharisee get together one day and talk. They think. Lets us make a national treasury and make the people put one third of their money in it.One ask. How can we? The other says hire goons to collect it and pay them. OK! Good idea! But tell the people we are doing all this for them .Just don't tell them the whole plan. OK,It will be done. So at first they dole the money out for good causes and the people love it.But once established as an institution the gang gets to dipping in the treasury and buying groups of citizens loyalties. This keeps the inner circle in power and saves them from breaking their backs doing honest work.Then they find more ways to use the money of all the people to their own best advantage. Let us send a few million to the farmers. We can have one of our own at the other end to dish it out and get a cut for himself.Then they think. Well just who all can we buy? Let us just create an army of people who will be indebted to us to dole out the money to those who are not yet.So they did. They set groups of people against each other this way to create division.By the division they had more power to control. It has been going on since the times of the Bible. But it is not a subject for debate on TV. Because parrots watch tv to learn humor.

RE: Things that make you think

Here's another to share with you...

Written by: Ken Blackwell - Columnist for the New York Sun



It's an amazing time to be alive in America . We're in a year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter over 70. The next president of America will be a first.



We won't truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won't arrive where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender. Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his policies and his politics.



The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now the frontrunner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper look at him. Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He's not. He's the next George McGovern. And it's time people learned the facts.



Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.

Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant.. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America . But let's look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial "beauty."



Start with national security, since the president's most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the 1940s. Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.



Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on "the rich." How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.



Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, "All praise and glory to God!" but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have "hijacked" - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he refused to vote against a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francisco values, not Middle America values.



The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don't start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His vision of "bringing America together" means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.



But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and - yes - they're talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama's radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.



It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of firsts, let's first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.

Subject: Kind of scary, wouldn't you think? Remember--God is good, and is in time, on time everytime



According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:



The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal...the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??



I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet...do it! If you think I am crazy,. I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the "unknown" candidate.


Make today count, tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone!
