OH HOW SWEET !

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Letter from one “Angry Woman”
I don’t know who wrote it but they should have signed
it. Some powerful
words. This woman should run for president.
Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it!
This is one
ticked off lady.

“Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was
it or was it not started
by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September
11, 2001?
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not
brutally murdered
that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from
our nation’s
capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a
horrible, burning or
crushing death that day, or didn’t they?

And I’m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was
“desecrated” when an
overworked American soldier kicked it or got it
wet?…Well, I don’t I don’t
care at all.

I’ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in
and repents for
incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I’ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the
Middle East start caring
about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a
crime in Saudi
Arabia

I’ll care when these thugs tell the world they are
sorry for chopping off
Nick Berg’s head while Berg screamed through his
gurgling slashed throat.

I’ll care when the cowardly so-called
“insurgents” in Iraq come out and
fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion
by hiding in
mosques.

I’ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves
up in search of
nirvana care about the innocent children within range of
their suicide .

I’ll care when the American media stops pretending that
their First
Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international
law instead of
the United States Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine
roughing up an
Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I
don’t care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners
who have been
humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident,
rest assured: I
don’t care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he
is told not to
move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to
the bank: I don’t
care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a
prayer mat, and
fed “special” food that is paid for by my tax
dollars, is complaining that
his holy book is being “mishandled,” you can
absolutely believe in your
heart of hearts: I don’t care.

And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes
it’s spelled “Koran” and
other times “Quran.” Well, Jimmy Crack Corn
and-you guessed it-I don’t care
!!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your
E-mail friends.
Sooner or later, it’ll get to the people responsible
for this ridiculous
behavior!

If you don’t agree, then by all means hit the delete
button. Should you
choose the latter, then please don’t complain when more
atrocities committed
by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And
may I add:

“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if
they made a difference in
the world. But, the Marines don’t have that
problem” — Ronald Reagan

I have another quote that I would like to add AND…….I
hope you forward
all this.

“If we ever forget that we’re One Nation Under
God, then we will be a nation
gone under.” Also by.. Ronald Reagan

One last thought for the day:

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the
Anti-American
sentiment and negativity, we should remember England ’s
Prime Minister Tony
Blair’s words during a recent interview. When asked by
one of his Parliament
members why he believes so much in America , he said:
“A simple way to take
measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And
how many want
out.”

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,
AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.
AMEN

Politicking

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Politicking should be a right not a privilege. Anyone wishing to place a sign in their yard, use their time to knock on doors, or voice their opinion about ANY candidate seeking an office through the electoral process, should not be interfered with. While on personal time or off duty no employer including governmental should have the right to restrict an employee from showing support for their candidate of choice. We should value the opinion of those who have had a working relationship with any candidate.

While at work or on duty employers should certainly have the right to restrict politicking in any way they see necessary. As long as it is fair and equal to all employees and candidates. If restrictions are allowed than ALL our governmental officials should be withheld from the process of endorsing or supporting any candidate.

If as an employee of a city, state or the federal government I am restricted from showing my support for a certain candidate this could also restrict my family from the process and should be viewed so unconstitutional as to be a legal issue.

Who best knows the candidates but for the individuals that has worked with them on a daily basis. If there is major support from the people that have worked with a particular candidate, it should be viewed as a positive. If as an employer / candidate you could not gain the support of your employees we should look at those candidates’ values very carefully.
