Shock Video: Professor Gates Goes On N-Word Rant

'We're also trying to end what we call the one n-gger syndrome'

By Aaron Klein
© 2009 WorldNetDaily

A video has surfaced on YouTube of Harvard professor Gates Jr
delivering a church speech in which he uses the N-word, rails
against "racist historically white institutions in America" and
accuses Newt Gingrich of attempting to block blacks from
entering the middle class.

Gates became a lightning rod of racial controversy when
President Obama defended the professor, who was handcuffed
outside his home last week by police in Cambridge, Mass.

"We are trying to end what we call the one n-gger syndrome –
you know, this place ain't big enough for more than one of us,"
said Gates in the video, filmed in 1996 in the All Souls Church
in Washington, D.C.

"We in the academy have to know that our people, those of us
who practice African-American studies, have to know that our
people are under assault," Gates said.

He continued: "Newt Gingrich can come in, that Contract for
America is serious. You know what those guys have said?
'Somehow, while we were asleep, all you white women and all
you black people got into the middle class.'

"'We are not sure how it happened. But the first thing we are
going to do is we are going to shake the tree and any of y'all
who can't hold on, you're all going back. And the second thing,
we are going to set up barriers so no more of you all can get
in here.'"

Gates was speaking to the church about his book, "The Future
of the Race," which he co-authored with radical black professor
Cornel West. Gates was arguing for the continued employment
of affirmative action.

"Without affirmative action we would have never been able
to integrate racist historically white institutions in American
society," Gates said.


"I was able to go to Yale University because they were trying to
diversify themselves," he said. "Because of racism I never would
have been allowed to compete on a more or less level terrain with
white boys and white girls.

"What we're trying to do is end 'your mamma' and 'your daddy
criticism, which is what African-Americans quite frankly have
mastered in for 250 years," he said.

In clearly racially divisive remarks, Gates blasted the state of
North Carolina, drawing applause when he exclaimed, "I don't
even like the airplane to fly over North Carolina."

One audience member pointed out American jazz icon
John Coltrane was born in North Carolina.

"Oh, that's true. "I'm sorry," said Gates. "And they got
good barbeque too. So maybe it's OK."

Eating Fruit: Could Save Your Life.

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and
just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think.

It's important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS!
FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your
system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss
and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.

Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit.
The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach
into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns
to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food
in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food
begins to spoil.

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your
meals! You have heard people complaining - every time I eat
watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up,
when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet etc -
actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty
stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and
produces gas and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under
the eyes all these will not happen if you take fruits on an empty
stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are
acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according
to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you
have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the
Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal
weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice drink only fresh fruit juice,
NOT - from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been
heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the
nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all
the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you
should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly,
because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing
it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body.

Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and
you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant
you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium,
magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice
that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an
apple has a Low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants &
flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby
helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack &
stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the
highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect
the body from cancer causing, blood vessel clogging free radicals.

ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may
help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve
kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92%
water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which
helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source
of lycopene, the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients
found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the
lear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also
rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich
in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can you believe this?
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable
to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.
However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have
just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge'
reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the
intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very
soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink
hot soup, warm water or warm beer after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE':
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is
going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in
the jaw line.. You may never have the first chest pain during
the course of a heart attack . Nausea and intense sweating are
also common symptoms.. Sixty percent of people who have
a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in
the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful
and be aware.

The more we know the better chance we could survive.

In Their Aff;iction They Will Seek Me Early. Hosea 5:15

In their affliction they will seek me early.Hosea 5:15

Losses and adversities are frequently the means which the great Shepherd uses to fetch home his wandering sheep; like fierce dogs they worry the wanderers back to the fold. There is no making lions tame if they are too well fed; they must be brought down from their great strength, and their stomachs must be lowered, and then they will submit to the tamer's hand; and often have we seen the Christian rendered obedient to the Lord's will by straitness of bread and hard labour. When rich and increased in goods many professors carry their heads much too loftily, and speak exceeding boastfully. Like David, they flatter themselves, My mountain standeth fast; I shall never be moved. When the Christian groweth wealthy, is in good repute, hath good health, and a happy family, he too often admits Mr. Carnal Security to feast at his table, and then if he be a true child of God there is a rod preparing for him. Wait awhile, and it may be you will see his substance melt away as a dream. There goes a portion of his estate--how soon the acres change hands. That debt, that dishonoured bill--how fast his losses roll in, where will they end? It is a blessed sign of divine life if when these embarrassments occur one after another he begins to be distressed about his backslidings, and betakes himself to his God. Blessed are the waves that wash the mariner upon the rock of salvation! Losses in business are often sanctified to our soul's enriching. If the chosen soul will not come to the Lord full-handed, it shall come empty. If God, in his grace, findeth no other means of making us honour him among men, he will cast us into the deep; if we fail to honour him on the pinnacle of riches, he will bring us into the valley of poverty. Yet faint not, heir of sorrow, when thou art thus rebuked, rather recognize the loving hand which chastens, and say, I will arise, and go unto my Father.

Still No Apology, Obama Offers a Beer

Why a BEER? Is Obama trying to imply Sgt. Crowley to be
a 'RED NECK RACIST, and beer is hipped by the Media as their
beverage of choice? Surely Mr. Gates would much prefer a
bottle of MD 20-20 neatly hidden inside a paper sack, we all
know it to be the favored drink around the hood.


Better yet, why not invite both gentlemen to cocktails?
Or even better if Obama would, shut the fuck up already!


Barack Obama may have tried to divert attention from his falling
popularity or his troubled health care bill by commenting on the
arrest of his friend Henry Louis Gates, but I don't think this
is the attention he had in mind.

By saying the police acted "stupidly," without even knowing the
facts in the case, Obama showed that he is never too shy to get
involved in questions of race, especially if it allows him to rant
about how bad some people in this country still have it.

Except for groups such as the Congressional Black Caucus, Obama's
comments have been soundly criticized. Yet, he has still not
apologized publicly to Police Sgt. James Crowley, who, by all
accounts, acted professionally and "by the book" in responding to
a call by a neighbor regarding a possible break-in at Gates' home.

Instead, Obama has invited Gates and Crowley to share a beer with
him at the White House. How lovely... Throw out a comment about
how racist America still is and then make light about it by inviting
folks over for a beer.

The Lie Clock

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter's
desk at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

He asked, "What are all those clocks there for?"

St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie Clocks. Everyone on Earth has
a Lie Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."

"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa 's. The hands have never moved, indicating
that she never told a lie."

"Incredible," said the man. "And whose clock is that one?"

St. Peter responded, "That's George Washington's clock.
The hands have moved twice, telling us that Washington
told only two lies in his entire life."

"Where's Barack Obama 's clock?" asked the man.

"Obama's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

A German's Point of View on Islam

This man's family was German aristocracy prior to World War ll
& owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked
how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave
can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

"Very few people were true Nazis," he said, "but many enjoyed
the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to
care. I was one of those who ust thought the Nazis were a bunch
of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then,
before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control,
and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything,
I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed
my factories."

We are told again and again by "experts" and "talking heads"
that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority
of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified
assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless
fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow
diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe
in the name of Islam. The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam
at this moment in history.

It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any
one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who
systematically slaughter Christian or ribal groups throughout
Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in
an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder,
or honor killing. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after
mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning
and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. The hard
quantifiable fact is that the "peaceful majority," the "silent
majority," is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted
to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible
or the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority
were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well,
but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering
70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War ll was
not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and
slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of
killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million
Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And, who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery.
Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were
"peace loving"?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for
all our powers of reason we often miss the most basic and
uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been
made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will
become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my
riend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find what
the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have
begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans,
Serbs, Afghanis, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians,
and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not
speak up until it was too late.

As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the
only group that counts; the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, at the risk of offending anyone who doubts that the issue
is serious is contributing to the passiveness that allows the
problems to expand.

So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us
hope that thousands, world wide, read this - think about it
- and send it on.

Genius

As a butcher is shooing a dog from his shop, he sees $10 and
a note in his mouth, reading: "10 lamb chops, please.

"Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of chops in the
dog's mouth, and quickly closes the shop. He follows the dog
and watches him wait for a green light, look both ways, and
trot across the road to a bus stop. The dog checks the
timetable and sits on the bench. When a bus arrives, he
walks around to the front and looks at the number,
then boards the bus.

The butcher follows, dumbstruck.

As the bus travels out into the suburbs, the dog takes in the
scenery. After awhile he stands on his back paws to push
the "stop" button, then the butcher follows him off.The dog
runs up to a house and drops his bag on the stoop. He goes
back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself
against the door. He does this again and again, still no
answer. So he jumps on a wall, walks around the garden,
beats his head against a window, jumps off, and waits at
the front door.

A big guy opens it and starts cursing and pummeling
the dog.

The butcher runs up screams at the guy: "What the hell
are you doing? This dog's a genius!"

The owner responds, "Genius, my ass. It's the second
time this week he's forgotten his key!"

If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:3

If:--then, this is not a matter to be taken for granted concerning every one of the human race.

If:--then there is a possibility and a probability that some may not have tasted that the Lord is gracious. If:--then this is not a general but a special mercy; and it is needful to enquire whether we know the grace of God by inward experience. There is no spiritual favour which may not be a matter for heart-searching.

But while this should be a matter of earnest and prayerful inquiry, no one ought to be content whilst there is any such thing as an if about his having tasted that the Lord is gracious. A jealous and holy distrust of self may give rise to the question even in the believer's heart, but the continuance of such a doubt would be an evil indeed. We must not rest without a desperate struggle to clasp the Saviour in the arms of faith, and say, I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him. Do not rest, O believer, till thou hast a full assurance of thine interest in Jesus. Let nothing satisfy thee till, by the infallible witness of the Holy Spirit bearing witness with thy spirit, thou art certified that thou art a child of God. Oh, trifle not here; let no perhaps and peradventure and if and maybe satisfy thy soul. Build on eternal verities, and verily build upon them. Get the sure mercies of David, and surely get them. Let thine anchor be cast into that which is within the veil, and see to it that thy soul be linked to the anchor by a cable that will not break. Advance beyond these dreary ifs; abide no more in the wilderness of doubts and fears; cross the Jordan of distrust, and enter the Canaan of peace, where the Canaanite still lingers, but where the land ceaseth not to flow with milk and honey.

Enough Already! Stop Crying 'Racism'

My Thought on Obama wading into this matter;

1st, I see it as a local matter, nothing for President to use
as a 'photo-op to remind us that he Pimp'd his way into
the White House.

2nd, you can take the gangsta out of the HOOD, but you
can't take the Hood out of the gangsta.

Obama is not Presidential material, he is nothing more
then a street smart con artis. Who has pulled the
greatest 'Murphy of all time' on a portion of American
that has their heads so far up their own ass it's frighting.


Posted by Bobby Eberle

There are a few issues that rise above the rest for me. One of
those is race relations, and how those on the left view "equality
" We are all supposed to get along and treat each other fairly,
right? Yet, the liberals attempt to do this by treating people
unfairly. With racial preferences, different racial and ethnic
groups are given favor over others. This is fair?
This is equality?

I'm sick of it.

Then... when something doesn't go right, these same people
claim it's "racism." In the case of test scores, it's never because
someone actually performed better than the person complaining.

With a promotion, it's never because someone was better
qualified than the person complaining. And with crime, if
someone was falsely accused or there was a misunderstanding,
it's never an honest mistake. It's racism. Give me a break!

The case that has brought this to a head for me is the one involving
Obama friend and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Here
are the details.

Police were called to the home of Gates by a neighbor.

The neighbor saw a man trying to force his way into Gates' home
and was concerned that there might be a burglary taking place.

The police arrived, and it turned out that it was Gates and his driver
who were trying to force open the door. The police asked Gates for
identification at which time he became belligerent and
uncooperative. Because of this, the police charged him with
disorderly conduct. The charge was later dropped.

Those are the facts, but here's how it went down.

As the police report states, Sergeant James Crowley first met
the caller outside of her house. The report indicates:

She went on to tell me that she observed what appeared to be
two black males with backpacks on the porch (of Gates' house).
She told me that he suspicions were aroused when she observed
one of the men wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was
trying to force entry.

According to the report, Crowley could see Gates in his house
through he front door.

As I stood in plain view of this man, later identified as Gates,
I asked if he would step out onto the porch and speak with me.
He replied, "no I will not." He then demanded to know who I was.
I told him that I was "Sgt. Crowley from the Cambridge Police"
and that I was "investigating a report of a break in progress"
at the residence. While I was making this statement, Gates opened
the front door and exclaimed "why, because I'm a black man in
America?" I then asked Gates if there was anyone else in the
residence. While yelling, he told me that it was none of my
business and accused me of being a racist police officer.

In the report, Gates told Crowley that he had "no idea who he was
messing with" and continued to call him a racist police officer.
Additional requests to talk with Gates outside were met with
"ya, I'll speak with your mama outside." Gates was repeatedly
warned that he was becoming disorderly, but continued the tirade.
After these warnings, Crowley placed Gates under arrest for
disorderly conduct.

Here's where the craziness begins. First, Gates is a professor at
Harvard and supposedly one of the premier professors on "race
in America." He is also a friend of Barack Obama. Word of the
arrest quickly spread and it even made it into a question at the
end of Obama's press conference on Wednesday night. Here is
what Obama had to say in all his "wisdom:"

Where do I begin! Obama acknowledges that he doesn't know the
facts in the case. He had not read the police report, yet he still
eels that it's appropriate to comment and MAKE it an issue about
race.

Let's look at his points:
#1 any of us would be pretty angry,
#2 the Cambridge police acted stupidly,
#3 there is a long history of African American and Latinos being
stopped disproportionately.

Ok, #1. Any of us would be pretty angry? When we are using our
credit card, we are asked for ID. Why? To verify ourselves as the
card owner and make sure there is nothing fishy going on. In this
case, Gates was asked to identify himself and indicate if there
were others at the house. This is done to verify the owner and
to also cover instances where there may be intruders inside the
residence. It is all done to verify the situation. Would this make
me angry? NO. Rather than Gates screaming racism, how about
simply saying, "Thank you, officer, for protecting my home."

#2. Obama states that the police acted stupidly for arresting
somebody when there was already proof that they were in
their own home. Hello! Gates was not arrested for breaking
and entering. It was well acknowledged that Gates was in his
own residence. Gates was arrested for disorderly conduct,
and there is nothing to indicate that the police acted stupidly
as our president state.

#3. Blacks and Latinos are stopped disproportionately. What does
this have to do with anything? This was not a traffic stop. The
police did not see a "black man" breaking into a house. They were
responding to a call from a neighbor. Thus, it is impossible that
this has anything to do with profiling. As it turns out, Crowley
is a "police academy expert on racial profiling."

Cambridge Sgt. James Crowley has taught a class about racial
profiling for five years at the Lowell Police Academy after being
hand-picked for the job by former police Commissioner Ronny
Watson, who is black, said Academy Director Thomas Fleming.

"I have nothing but the highest respect for him as a police officer.
He is very professional and he is a good role model for the young
recruits in the police academy," Fleming told The Associated Press
on Thursday.

Police officers are also standing by Crowley. As FOX News.com
reports, "Many police officers across the country have a message
for President Barack Obama -- Get all the facts before criticizing
one of our own."

"What we don't need is public safety officials across the country
second-guessing themselves," said David Holway, president of the
International Brotherhood of Police Officers, which represents
15,000 public safety officials around the country.

"The president's alienated public safety officers across the
country with his comments."

The fact is that Barack Obama should have kept his mouth shut.
He had no idea what he was talking about, yet used the incident to
play the race card. As if this was yet one more example of
oppression. I'm sick of it. I would be happy the police were doing
their job. I would be thankful that a neighbor cared enough to
call the police. And I would certainly respond to the requests of
the officers.

All of that seems pretty simple, right? Perhaps if I were one of the
foremost scholars on race in America or the president of the
United States looking to score cheap points, I might think and act
differently. Fortunately, I'm not.

They shall go hindmost with their standards. Numbers 2:31

The camp of Dan brought up the rear when the armies of Israel were on the march. The Danites occupied the hindmost place, but what mattered the position, since they were as truly part of the host as were the foremost tribes; they followed the same fiery cloudy pillar, they ate of the same manna, drank of the same spiritual rock, and journeyed to the same inheritance. Come, my heart, cheer up, though last and least; it is thy privilege to be in the army, and to fare as they fare who lead the van. Some one must be hindmost in honour and esteem, some one must do menial work for Jesus, and why should not I? In a poor village, among an ignorant peasantry; or in a back street, among degraded sinners, I will work on, and go hindmost with my standard.

The Danites occupied a very useful place. Stragglers have to be picked up upon the march, and lost property has to be gathered from the field. Fiery spirits may dash forward over untrodden paths to learn fresh truth, and win more souls to Jesus; but some of a more conservative spirit may be well engaged in reminding the church of her ancient faith, and restoring her fainting sons. Every position has its duties, and the slowly moving children of God will find their peculiar state one in which they may be eminently a blessing to the whole host.

The rear guard is a place of danger. There are foes behind us as well as before us. Attacks may come from any quarter. We read that Amalek fell upon Israel, and slew some of the hindmost of them. The experienced Christian will find much work for his weapons in aiding those poor doubting, desponding, wavering, souls, who are hindmost in faith, knowledge, and joy. These must not be left unaided, and therefore be it the business of well-taught saints to bear their standards among the hindmost. My soul, do thou tenderly watch to help the hindmost this day.

Collapsed Mine Used As Excuse To Stall Coal Extraction

CASSVILLE, WV—Although rescue workers have cleared a path wide enough for the usable coal to be extracted through, and miners trapped inside are not so hurt or oxygen-deprived that they could not continue with their tasks.

Willard Energy officials decided to halt operations Monday following the collapse of one of their most profitable mines.

Company CEO KennethMorgan, who should know better than to let emotion interfere with business, offered no explanation as to why paramedics, and First Responders currently digging out the miners are not also collecting coal, or at the very least sending back a load of the precious resource with every body they find.


At press time, the Fedral Government Mine Safety and Health Administration has yet to investigate how this tragedy, which may leave tons of coal forever entombed, could have been prevented. Coal retalers have begain raising prices as many area residents have noted.

over the years.

I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on the
floor of a public bathroom.

I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS to whoever sent me the one
about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a
wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.

ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same
reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl
(Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the
1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I
receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are
sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214
angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's Novena has
granted my every wish.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually
horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I
smell ike a water buffalo on a hot day.

THANKS TO YOU I have learned that my prayers only get answered
if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish
within five minutes.

BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola because
it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch
the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm
pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who
make these products are atheists who refuse to put
'Under God' on their cans.

I no longer use Saran Wrap in the microwave because it causes
cancer.

AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can't boil a cup of
water n the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my
ace...disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could
be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me
with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or Fed Ex since they
are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support
our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a
number of which I will get a phone bill with calls to a SEX HOT LINE
in Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan., for $34,783.21.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I
now have their recipe.

THANKS TO YOU I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because
a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me
nstant death when it bites my butt.

AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE I can't ever pick up $5.00
dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by
a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain
gas companies!

I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten by the
brown recluse and my hand will fall off.

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next
70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at
5:00 p.m. Tomorrow afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will
infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this
will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door
neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.

Oh, by the way.....

A German scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has
discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their

Obama: Use my Healthcare Plan, or you are breaking the law

"[T]he Energy and Commerce Committee will try again ... to start marking up the health care bill. They're going up to the White House ... to be lobbied by Obama, which means [White House Chief of Staff] Rahm Emanuel is going to be there with a loaded gun. ... This is not a time to start thinking victory. This is a time to keep mounting up even more heat."

The words above were spoken by radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh when he issued a stern warning that despite what the mainstream liberal media may want you to believe, ObamaCare "is not dead."

As Rush said:

"They're going to be working with the White House to make another run at health care. It is not dead. We need to be on our toes. They're going to regroup. They are going to pretend to be addressing the public's concerns. They'll up the lies, they will up the rhetoric."

Indeed, lies and rhetoric are all the American people have gotten from President Obama during his push for government-run, rationed health care.

You undoubtedly have heard Obama's oft-repeated statement:

"If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."

Well, based on the language of what is currently moving at lightning speed through Congress, nothing could be further from the truth.

If ObamaCare passes, you can kiss your private health insurance goodbye... maybe your doctor, too... and you can certainly say adios to the best health care system the world has ever known.

As a matter of fact, Obama's ultimate goal is to force all Americans into a single-payer government-run health care system... a huge bureaucracy that will decide which doctor you can see, when you can see him and which treatment that doctor is allowed to render onto you.

Syndicated Columnist George Will, writing in the Washington Post, exposed Obama's monumental lie.

"Why does the president, who says that were America 'starting from scratch' he would favor a 'single-payer' - government-run - system, insist that health-care reform include a government insurance plan that competes with private insurers? The simplest answer is that such a plan will lead to a single-payer system."

"Conservatives say that a government program will have the intended consequence of crowding private insurers out of the market, encouraging employers to stop providing coverage and luring employees from private insurance to the cheaper government option....

"The Lewin Group estimates that 70 percent of the 172 million persons privately covered might be drawn, or pushed, to the government plan.... The president characteristically denies that he is doing what he is doing - putting the nation on a path to an outcome he considers desirable - just as he denies any intention of running General Motors."

Don't let Obama slick-talk Congress and millions of Americans into giving up their freedom to make their own health care decisions.

A government-run system will bankrupt the nation while reducing the quality of care in America.

MEDICAL TOOL INTRODUCED FOR OBAMA'S HEALTH PLAN



What you do NOW will determine whether you will retain
the right to choose your own healthcare or whether the
government will choose for you.

Before you know it, unless WE rise up in opposition to the so-called
healthcare reform bills now making their way through the Congress,
a trip to the doctor will resemble a trip to the Department of
Motor Vehicles and your every action and lifestyle will be put under
scrutiny and surveillance by the total healthcare information

Unless you make it unambiguously clear to your Senators and
Members of Congress immediately that the witches brew on
healthcare they cooking up on Capitol Hill is totally unacceptable,
a bunch of government bureaucrats will soon have to certify your
health insurance policy before you can legally purchase it.

Bureaucrats will set prices for every medical service, treatment,

The earnest of our inheritance. Ephesians 1:14

Oh! what enlightenment, what joys, what consolation, what delight of heart is experienced by that man who has learned to feed on Jesus, and on Jesus alone. Yet the realization which we have of Christ's preciousness is, in this life, imperfect at the best. As an old writer says, 'Tis but a taste! We have tasted that the Lord is gracious, but we do not yet know how good and gracious he is, although what we know of his sweetness makes us long for more. We have enjoyed the firstfruits of the Spirit, and they have set us hungering and thirsting for the fulness of the heavenly vintage. We groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption. Here we are like Israel in the wilderness, who had but one cluster from Eshcol, there we shall be in the vineyard. Here we see the manna falling small, like coriander seed, but there shall we eat the bread of heaven and the old corn of the kingdom. We are but beginners now in spiritual education; for although we have learned the first letters of the alphabet, we cannot read words yet, much less can we put sentences together; but as one says, He that has been in heaven but five minutes, knows more than the general assembly of divines on earth. We have many ungratified desires at present, but soon every wish shall be satisfied; and all our powers shall find the sweetest employment in that eternal world of joy. O Christian, antedate heaven for a few years. Within a very little time thou shalt be rid of all thy trials and thy troubles. Thine eyes now suffused with tears shall weep no longer. Thou shalt gaze in ineffable rapture upon the splendour of him who sits upon the throne. Nay, more, upon his throne shalt thou sit. The triumph of his glory shall be shared by thee; his crown, his joy, his paradise, these shall be thine, and thou shalt be co-heir with him who is the heir of all things.

He appeared first to Mary Magdalene. Mark 16:9

Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, probably not only on account of her great love and persevering seeking, but because, as the context intimates,she had been a special trophy of Christ's delivering power. Learn from this, that the greatness of our sin before conversion should not make us imagine that we may not be specially favoured with the very highest grade of fellowship. She was one who had left all to become a constant attendant on the Saviour. He was her first, her chief object. Many who were on Christ's side did not take up Christ's cross; she did. She spent her substance in relieving his wants. If we would see much of Christ, let us serve him. Tell me who they are that sit oftenest under the banner of his love, and drink deepest draughts from the cup of communion, and I am sure they will be those who give most, who serve best, and who abide closest to the bleeding heart of their dear Lord. But notice how Christ revealed himself to this sorrowing one--by a word, Mary. It needed but one word in his voice, and at once she knew him, and her heart owned allegiance by another word, her heart was too full to say more. That one word would naturally be the most fitting for the occasion. It implies obedience. She said, Master. There is no state of mind in which this confession of allegiance will be too cold. No, when your spirit glows most with the heavenly fire, then you will say, I am thy servant, thou hast loosed my bonds. If you can say, Master, if you feel that his will is your will, then you stand in a happy, holy place. He must have said, Mary, or else you could not have said, Rabboni. See, then, from all this, how Christ honours those who honour him, how love draws our Beloved, how it needs but one word of his to turn our weeping to rejoicing, how his presence makes the heart's sunshine.

Protect Yourself from the Flu and the Vaccine

July 15, 2009
By Melanie SegalaManaging Editor,
Total Health Breakthroughs
Have you noticed that the media chatter regarding the expected flu pandemic has been ramping up lately? Could it be because pharmaceutical giants like Baxter and Novartis are moving full speed ahead to prepare for mass inoculations around the globe of H1N1 (swine) flu vaccines by this fall?

I hope the name Baxter rings a bell. In the April 15 issue of Undercover, I wrote about how Baxter’s seasonal flu vaccine had been contaminated with the deadly avian flu virus at one of their facilities in Austria. This “mistake” would very likely have resulted in millions of deaths if it was not caught in time by a lab in the Czech Republic.

Since I researched that article, I made a personal decision to avoid a flu shot at all costs. I have also warned friends and family that a mild case of the flu may ultimately be safer than the long term health effects of the vaccine.

But now I have some news to share that may even protect you from the flu itself, thanks to an enlightening article I recently read by John J. Cannell, MD.1 Dr. Cannell is a psychiatrist at Atascadero State Hospital in California, a maximum security hospital for psychiatric patients. In 2005, an influenza A epidemic broke out in the hospital. One by one, each ward became infected as patients came down with chills, fever, cough, and severe body aches.

Only one ward in the hospital remained free of infection — Dr. Cannell’s. Why was this so? His patients intermingled with patients from other wards and were not noticeably different in their age, health, or medical treatment.

The only difference that could be discerned was that Dr. Cannell’s patients had been receiving a daily dose of 2000 IU of vitamin D for several months. That’s it. All of his patients took vitamin D and not one caught the flu!

Dr. Cannell’s research then led him to some remarkable discoveries about the effectiveness of vitamin D as a potent antibiotic and antiviral. Vitamin D boosts the body’s production of antimicrobial peptides, a class of proteins that quickly destroys the cell walls of bacteria, viruses (including influenza) and fungi. These peptides also keep the lungs free from infection.
But that’s not all. While vitamin D is destroying flu-causing viruses, it simultaneously performs another life-saving function. It prevents the immune system from producing a dangerous amount of inflammatory chemicals (cytokines) that attack sensitive respiratory membranes. In severe cases of the flu, this inflammation can destroy the normal cell lining of the respiratory tract.

In the early history of mankind, we wore loin cloths and spent most of our time out of doors. With only 20 minutes of full body exposure to the sun, we were able to synthesize 20,000 units of vitamin D within 48 hours. Our exposure to the sun gave us built-in immunity to contagious diseases.

Compare that to how society has evolved over the centuries. We spend most of our time indoors and perhaps get a few hundred units of vitamin D from our diet. In the past couple of decades we even started slathering our skin with sun block and now get even less vitamin D in our already deficient bodies. No wonder influenza continues to be a plague.

It is an established fact that most of us are deficient in vitamin D. Knowing this, I recently began taking 2000 units per day in supplement form, which is a safe yet effective dose. Living in Florida, I also get year-round exposure to the sun — although like most people, I’m not outdoors as much as I would like to be.

While I can’t advise you on how much vitamin D you should be taking, I can say that if you are dark skinned, elderly, or live in a northern climate, you are at a higher risk for catching the H1N1 flu due to vitamin D deficiency.

If you are in one of these high risk groups, make it a priority to have your levels checked. Dr. William Davis recommends vitamin D dosing to his patients so that they stay in the normal range of 60-70 ng/mL.2 According to Dr. Davis, since he began prescribing vitamin D, viral and bacterial infections have become a rare occurrence. Depending on your health and other factors, your doctor may determine that you need up to 5000 units of vitamin D per day, especially in the winter.

I can’t think of an easier or safer way to protect yourself from the flu and the vaccine.

If thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Exodus 20:25

God's altar was to be built of unhewn stones, that no trace of human skill or labour might be seen upon it. Human wisdom delights to trim and arrange the doctrines of the cross into a system more artificial and more congenial with the depraved tastes of fallen nature; instead, however, of improving the gospel carnal wisdom pollutes it, until it becomes another gospel, and not the truth of God at all. All alterations and amendments of the Lord's own Word are defilements and pollutions. The proud heart of man is very anxious to have a hand in the justification of the soul before God; preparations for Christ are dreamed of, humblings and repentings are trusted in, good works are cried up, natural ability is much vaunted, and by all means the attempt is made to lift up human tools upon the divine altar. It were well if sinners would remember that so far from perfecting the Saviour's work, their carnal confidences only pollute and dishonour it. The Lord alone must be exalted in the work of atonement, and not a single mark of man's chisel or hammer will be endured. There is an inherent blasphemy in seeking to add to what Christ Jesus in His dying moments declared to be finished, or to improve that in which the Lord Jehovah finds perfect satisfaction. Trembling sinner, away with thy tools, and fall upon thy knees in humble supplication; and accept the Lord Jesus to be the altar of thine atonement, and rest in him alone.

Many professors may take warning from this morning's text as to the doctrines which they believe. There is among Christians far too much inclination to square and reconcile the truths of revelation; this is a form of irreverence and unbelief, let us strive against it, and receive truth as we find it; rejoicing that the doctrines of the Word are unhewn stones, and so are all the more fit to build an altar for the Lord.

From The Jackopholies

Rep. Diane Watson (D-Neverland) tried to introduce a
resolution honoring the late Michael Jackson as a
"global humanitarian," though she was thwarted by
Nancy Pelosi.

When confronted with Jackson's bizarre behavior and
accusations of child abuse, Watson opined, "We have no
facts that his behavior was inappropriate when he was
among children.

We would say that a grown man shouldn't have kids in
his bed, but how many kids jump in bed with their
parents? Michael saw the world through his own lenses.
He saw no harm, no danger, nothing wrong with
romping on the bed with children."

We never thought we'd say this, but thank goodness
for Nancy Pelosi.

The Ten Commandments According to Obama

I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) SOURCE

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. SOURCE

III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. SOURCE

IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. SOURCE

V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. They will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. SOURCE

VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. SOURCE

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are conservative or a Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of conservatives will be forever destroyed. SOURCE

VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE

IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. SOURCE

X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. SOURCE

1 Peter 5:10; After that ye have suffered awhile, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

You have seen the arch of heaven as it spans the plain: glorious are its colours, and rare its hues. It is beautiful, but, alas, it passes away, and lo, it is not. The fair colours give way to the fleecy clouds, and the sky is no longer brilliant with the tints of heaven. It is not established. How can it be? A glorious show made up of transitory sun-beams and passing rain-drops, how can it abide? The graces of the Christian character must not resemble the rainbow in its transitory beauty, but, on the contrary, must be stablished, settled, abiding. Seek, O believer, that every good thing you have may be an abiding thing. May your character not be a writing upon the sand, but an inscription upon the rock! May your faith be no baseless fabric of a vision, but may it be builded of material able to endure that awful fire which shall consume the wood, hay, and stubble of the hypocrite. May you be rooted and grounded in love. May your convictions be deep, your love real, your desires earnest. May your whole life be so settled and established, that all the blasts of hell, and all the storms of earth shall never be able to remove you. But notice how this blessing of being stablished in the faith is gained. The apostle's words point us to suffering as the means employed--After that ye have suffered awhile. It is of no use to hope that we shall be well rooted if no rough winds pass over us. Those old gnarlings on the root of the oak tree, and those strange twistings of the branches, all tell of the many storms that have swept over it, and they are also indicators of the depth into which the roots have forced their way. So the Christian is made strong, and firmly rooted by all the trials and storms of life. Shrink not then from the tempestuous winds of trial, but take comfort, believing that by their rough discipline God is fulfilling this benediction to you.

We're hearing a lot today about big splashy memorial services


We're hearing a lot today about big splashy memorial services.

I want a nationwide memorial service for Darrell "Shifty" Powers.

Shifty volunteered for the airborne in WWII and served with Easy
Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the
101st Airborne Infantry. If you've seen Band of Brotherson HBO
or the History Channel, you know Shifty. His character appears
in all 10 episodes, and Shifty himself is interviewed in several
of them.

I met Shifty in the Philadelphia airport several years ago.
I didn't know who he was at the time. I just saw an elderly
gentleman having trouble reading his ticket. I offered to help,
assured him that he was at the right gate, and noticed the
"Screaming Eagle", the symbol of the 101st Airborne, on his hat.

Making conversation, I asked him if he'd been in the
101st Airborne or if his son was serving. He said quietly
that he had been in the 101st. I thanked him for his service,
then asked him when he served, and how many jumps he made.

Quietly and humbly, he said "Well, I guess I signed up in 1941 or so,
and was in until sometime in 1945" at which point my heart
skipped a beat or two.

At that point, again, very humbly, he said "I made the 5 training
jumps at Toccoa, and then jumped into Normandy . . . .
do you know where Normandy is?" At this point my heart stopped.

I told him yes, I know exactly where Normandy was,
and I know what D-Day was.
At that point he said
"I also made a second jump into Holland, into Arnhem."
I was standing with a genuine war hero, and then I realized
that it was June, just after the anniversary of D-Day.

I asked Shifty if he was on his way back from France,
and he said "Yes. And it's real sad because these
days so few of the guys are left, and those that are,
lots of them can't make the trip." My heart was in
my throat and I didn't know what to say.

I helped Shifty get onto the plane and then realized he
was back in Coach, while I was in First Class. I sent
the flight attendant back to get him and said that I
wanted to switch seats. When Shifty came forward, I got
up out of the seat and told him I wanted him to have it,
that I'd take his seat in coach

He said "No, son, you enjoy that seat.
Just knowing that there are still some who remember
what we did and still care is enough to make an old man
very happy." His eyes were filling up as he said it.
And mine are brimming up now as I write this.

Shifty died on June 17 after fighting cancer.

There was no parade

No big event in Staples Center .

No wall to wall back to back 24x7 news coverage.

No weeping fans on television; and that's not right.

Let's give Shifty his own Memorial Service, online,
in our own quiet way.

Please forward this email to everyone you know.
Especially to the veterans.


Rest in peace, Shifty

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Texas Deputies Say Couple Having Sex in Drug Car


Bexar County sheriff's deputies drawn by the actions of an amorous couple in a parked car allegedly found more than l'amour.

Deputy Ino Badillo tells the San Antonio Express-News they also found enough equipment and chemicals in the car Thursday night to start a methamphetamine lab.

Badillo says deputies checked out the car after neighbors reported it parked in an unusual spot, just northeast of San Antonio.

He says 26-year-old Timothy Overly and 25-year-old Candace Prewitt have been charged with public lewdness and manufacture of a controlled substance. Badillo says both were booked into the Bexar County Jail with bonds set at nearly $31,000 each.

WD-40 And Its Many Uses

Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the
Main ingredient of WD-40 is?


I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open.

Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck.

I'm impressed! WD-40 who knew? 'Water Displacement #40' The product began from a search for rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company.
Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound.

They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.

The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.

When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle!

Then try it on your stove top .... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
Here are some other uses:

1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3. Cleans and lubricates guitar 20 strings.
4. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5. Keeps flies off cows.
6. Restores and cleans chalkboards.
7. Removes lipstick stains.
8. Loosens stubborn zippers.
9. Untangles jewelry chains.
10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
11. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12. Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
13. Removes tomato stains from clothing.
14. Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.
15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
16. Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes.
18. It removes black scuff marks from t he kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19. Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a 20 shine for a super fast slide.
21. Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers.
22. Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.
23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.
24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers.
26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.

P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.

Hell Explained In A Nut Shell

HELL EXPLAINED
BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT


The following is an actual question given on a University of
Arizona chemistry mid term, and an actual answer turned in by
a student.

The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor
shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course,
why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :

Bonus Question:Is Hell exothermic(gives off heat)or
endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's
Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed)
or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.
So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell
and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely. I
think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell,
it will not leave. There fore, no souls are leaving. As for how
many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different
religions that exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of
their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than
one of these religions and since people do not belong to more
than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the
number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now,
we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because
Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and
pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has
to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at
which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure
in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. =C 2

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase
of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will
drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my
Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before
I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I
slept with her last night, then number two must be true,
and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already
frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since
Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting
any more souls and is therefore, extinct....leaving only
Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being
which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting
'Oh my God.'

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

My South

This was written by Robert St. John, executive chef and owner
of the Purple Parrot Cafe, Crescent City Grill and Mahogany
Bar of Hattiesburg, MS.

Thirty years ago I visited my first cousin in Virginia While
hanging out with his friend, the discussion turned to popular
movies of the day.

When I offered my two-cents on the authenticity and social
relevance of the movie Billy Jack, one of the boys asked, in
all seriousness, 'Do you guys have movie theaters down there?'
To which I replied, 'Yep, We wear shoes too.'

Just three years ago, my wife and I were attending a food and
wine seminar in Aspen, Colo. We were seated with two couples
from Las Vegas.

One of the Glitter Gulch gals was amused and downright rude
when I described our restaurant as a fine-dining restaurant.

'Mississippi doesn't have fine-dining restaurants!' she
insisted and nudged her companion.'

I fought back the strong desire to mention that she lived in
the land that invented the 99-cent breakfast buffet.

I wanted badly to defend my state, my region, and my restaurant
with a 15-minute soliloquy and public relations rant that would
surely change her mind. It was at that precise moment that I was
hit with a blinding jolt of enlightenment, and in a moment of
complete and absolute clarity it dawned on me -- my South is the
best-kept secret in the country.

Why would I try to win this woman over? She might move down here.

I am always amused by Hollywood's interpretation of the South.
We are still, on occasion, depicted as a collective group of
sweaty, stupid, backwards-minded, racist rednecks.

The South of movies and TV, the Hollywood South, is not my South.

This is my South: My South is full of honest, hard working people.

My South is the birthplace of blues and jazz, and rock'n roll.

It has banjo pickers and fiddle players, but it also has BB King,
Muddy Waters, the Allman Brothers, Emmylou Harris and Elvis.

My South is hot.

My South smells of newly mowed grass. My South was kick the can,
creek swimming, cane-pole fishing, and bird hunting.


In my South, football is king, and the Southeastern Conference is
the kingdom.

My South is home to the most beautiful women on the planet.

In my South, soul food and country cooking are the same thing.

My South is full of fig preserves, cornbread, butter beans,
fried chicken, grits and catfish.

In my South, our transistor radios introduced us to the Beatles
and the Rolling Stones a he same time they were introduced to
the rest of thecountry.

In my South, grandmothers cook a big lunch every Sunday, so big
that we call it dinner(supper comes later).

In my South, family matters, deeply.

My South is boiled shrimp, blackberry cobbler, peach ice cream,
bananapudding and cream pies.

In my South people put peanuts in bottles of Coca-Cola and hot
sauce on almost everything.

In my South the tea is iced and almost as sweet as the women.

My South hasair-conditioning.

My South is camellias, azaleas, wisteria and hydrangeas.

In my South, the only person that has to sit on the back of
the bus is the last person that got on the bus.

In my South, people still say 'Yes, ma'am,' 'No ma'am,'
'Please' and 'Thank you.

In my South, we all wear shoes....most of the time.

My South is the best-kept secret in the country.

Lets continue to keep the secret, it keeps the idiots away.

Our heart shall rejoice in Him. Psalm 33:21

Blessed is the fact that Christians can rejoice even in the deepest distress; although trouble may surround them, they still sing; and, like many birds, they sing best in their cages. The waves may roll over them, but their souls soon rise to the surface and see the light of God's countenance; they have a buoyancy about them which keeps their head always above the water, and helps them to sing amid the tempest, God is with me still.

To whom shall the glory be given? Oh! to Jesus--it is all by Jesus. Trouble does not necessarily bring consolation with it to the believer, but the presence of the Son of God in the fiery furnace with him fills his heart with joy. He is sick and suffering, but Jesus visits him and makes his bed for him. He is dying, and the cold chilly waters of Jordan are gathering about him up to the neck, but Jesus puts His arms around him, and cries, Fear not, beloved; to die is to be blessed; the waters of death have their fountain-head in heaven; they are not bitter, they are sweet as nectar, for they flow from the throne of God. As the departing saint wades through the stream, and the billows gather around him, and heart and flesh fail him, the same voice sounds in his ears, Fear not; I am with thee; be not dismayed; I am thy God. As he nears the borders of the infinite unknown, and is almost affrighted to enter the realm of shades, Jesus says, Fear not, it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Thus strengthened and consoled, the believer is not afraid to die; nay, he is even willing to depart, for since he has seen Jesus as the morning star, he longs to gaze upon Him as the sun in his strength.

Truly, the presence of Jesus is all the heaven we desire. He is at once The glory of our brightest days; The comfort of our nights.

Obama administration is the most fiscally irresponsible in the history of the U.S.

California’s Nightmare Will Kill Obamanomics
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aTKrn1jUJwdE
& Commentary by Kevin Hassett mailto:khassett@bloomberg.net

July 6 (Bloomberg) --
Last week, we discovered that the state of California will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

With California mired in a budget crisis, largely the result of a political impasse that makes spending cuts and tax increases impossible, Controller John Chiang http://tinyurl.com/nxsvc3 said the state planned to issue $3.3 billion in IOU’s in July alone.

Instead of cash, those who do business with California will get slips of paper.The California morass has Democrats in Washington trembling. The reason is simple. If Obama’s health-care plan passes, then we may well end up paying for it with federal slips of paper worth less than California’s. Obama has bet everything on passing health care this year. The publicity surrounding the California debt fiasco almost assures his resounding defeat.

It takes years and years to make a mess as terrible as the California debacle, but the recipe is simple. All that you need is two political parties that are always willing to offer easy government solutions for every need of the voters, but never willing to make the tough decisions necessary to finance the government largess that results. Voters will occasionally change their allegiance from one party to the other, but the bacchanal will continue regardless of the names on the office doors.

California has engaged in an orgy of spending, but, compared with our federal government, its legislators should feel chaste. The California deficit www.ebudget.ca.gov/ this year is now north of $26 billion. The U.S. federal deficit http://tinyurl.com/ddjb9p will be, according to the latest numbers, almost 70 times larger.

Bleak Picture

The federal picture is so bleak because the Obama administration is the most fiscally irresponsible in the history of the U.S. I would imagine that he would be the intergalactic champion as well, if we could gather the data on deficits on other worlds. Obama has taken George W. Bush’s inattention to deficits and elevated it to an art form.

The Obama administration has no shame, and is willing to abandon reason altogether to achieve its short-term political goals. Ronald Reagan ran up big deficits in part because he believed that his tax cuts would produce economic growth, and ultimately pay for themselves. He may well have been excessively optimistic about the merits of tax cuts, but at least he had a story.

Obama has no story. Nobody believes that his unprecedented expansion of the welfare state will lead to enough economic growth. Nobody believes that it will pay for itself. Everyone understands that higher spending today begets higher spending tomorrow. That means that his economic strategy simply doesn’t add up.

Character Deficit

Back in the 1980s, Reagan’s own economist, Martin Feldstein http://tinyurl.com/n7gaub , spoke up when he felt that the Reagan administration was pushing the deficit too far. Where are the economists with such character today? Apparently, the job description for economists has transformed from recommending policies that are defensible to defending whatever policies that the political hacks in the West Wing dream up.

As bad as the California legislature has been over the years, it has never entered a fiscal crisis like the one that we face today and then doubled down with a massive spending increase. In the end, when times got tough, patriotic and sensible Californians of both parties stood up and began acting like adults.

Maybe the same thing is starting to happen in our nation’s capital. The key players in Washington are Senator Evan Bayh and 15 Senate Democrats who joined him this year in forming a coalition of moderates. One thing that has distinguished moderate Democrats from the garden variety of the species is heightened concern about fiscal responsibility.

Off a Cliff

With the price tag of Obama-care likely to exceed $1 trillion, moderate Democrats face a simple choice. They can jump off the cliff with the president, or they can stay true to the principles that they have espoused throughout their careers.

There are reassuring signs that principle is winning. One of the most expensive components of the Obama plan is the so- called public-insurance option, which opponents fear would result in massive government subsidies. Senator Mary Landrieu said that she is “not open” to a public option that will compete with private insurance.

Many other Democratic Senators, including Ben Nelson h, Blanche Lincoln, and Tom Carper http://tinyurl.com/l3luwm , also oppose the public option. As the cost estimates increase and support wanes, the Senate Finance Committee is even going as far as to pursue its own health-care plan, meaning that the health-care end game is now in sight.

Tax Bite

Moderates might support Obama’s health-care objectives if the bill also included tax increases to cover the spending increases. But those tax increases would likely be unpopular, making it almost impossible to pass a bill.

Given the increasing public concern about deficits that heightened significantly last week because of the California crisis, there are only two possibilities left. Either the Obama plan will come crashing down or Senate Democrats will concoct some bill that has health in the title but costs almost nothing and does even less. With Al Franken arriving in the Senate and providing Democrats with a crucial 60th vote, the latter seems most likely

What Being An American Means

I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and
Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.Well,

I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I AM NOT
uniting behind Obama!

I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge
his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT
that is it.

I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure that He
is a one-term President!

Why am I doing this? It is because I do not share Obama's
vision or Value system for America;

I do not share his Abortion beliefs;I do not share his
radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;

I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who
make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times
since August);

I do not share his view that America is Arrogrant;

I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;

I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;

I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals
than American Citizens who need help;

I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of
marriage;

I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and
Israel is our enemy who should give up any land;

I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has
made public);

I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare
system in America;

I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and
certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist
regimes such as Iran .

Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Obama's,
and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my G_d
to do what is Right!

For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous
entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility
but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his
family, and his spiritual beliefs!

They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their
philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their
personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country!

They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is
tolerated except being intolerant!

They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years; they
have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to
the founding and growth of our Country!

They have made every effort to remove the name of G_d or
Jesus Christ from our Society!

They have challenged capital punishment, the right to
bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our
criminal code; they have attacked one of the most
fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!

Unite behind Obama? Never!

I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going
overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor
of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!

PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency,
and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe
that he weighed his decisions in light of the long established
Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!

Majority rules in America , and I will honor the concept; however,
I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to
Obama and "his goals for America."

I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked,
will destroy our Country!!

Any more compromise is more defeat!

I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have
sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-G_d
crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America!

"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to
combat it." (Thomas Jefferson)


"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will
be a nation gone under." (Ronald Reagan)

God bless you and God bless our Country!

(Please, please, please. Pass this on if you agree.)
Thanks for your time, be safe. "In God We Trust"
