TWO OLD
GUYS DANCING
We all know Fred Astaire and GeneKelly were great dancers
but they
weren't the only ones.
Here are
JamesCagney and Bob Hope at a Friar's Club
Meeting in 1955, back when
actors were real performers; Hope was 52
and Cagney was 56.
This looks
like it's from a movie,
not a routine from a Friar's Club meeting. Doesn't take away from
it
though!
For the
young folks, here is
something you probably never seen before and, unfortunately, you
may
never see again.
For us
older folks, this is the best
of the best, and we had it for many years! This is a side of these two
entertainers you hardly ever saw, but it shows you their enormous
talent. Bob
Hope, the best of comedians, and JamesCagney, mostly cast as the bad
guy, a
gangster in the movies.

WHAT'S
AN INFIDEL
Rick
Mathes, is a well-known
leader in prison ministry.
The
man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you
have a
pulse you have a purpose.
The
Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in
the
United States , especially in the minority races!
Last
month I attended my annual training session that's required
for
maintaining my state prison security clearance.
During
the training session there was a presentation by three
speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths,
who each explained their beliefs. I was particularly interested in
what the Islamic had to say.
The
Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam,
complete
with a video.
After
the presentations, time was provided for questions and
answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked:
'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and
clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the
infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a
command to all Muslims)
they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give
me
the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation,
he replied, 'Non-believers!'
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers
of
Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so
they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The
expression on his face changed from one of authority and
command
to that of a
little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine The
Pope commanding
all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr.Stanley ordering all
Protestants to do the same
in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless!
I
continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when
you
and your brother clerics
are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order
for you to go to heaven,
or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and
He wants you
to be there with me?'
You
could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in
shame.
Needless
to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the
'Diversification' training seminar
were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and
exposing the truth
about the Muslims' beliefs.
In
twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to
elect the President!
WAL-MART VS.
THE MORONS (NOT A JOKE)
I know lots of folks don't like
Wal-Mart, but this is fascinating
PLEASE, READ THIS TO THE END. IT IS VERY
INTERESTING!!!
Wal-Mart vs.
The Morons
1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at
WalMart 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 USA of 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??
I know what's wrong. We have lost
our minds to "Political Correctness" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone please tell me what the
HELL'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 to say nothing about the handouts to ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS!!!
Now Obama wants to give 500 million to Syrian
fighters.
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed
income' receive no
aid nor do they get any breaks.
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.
Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the
same support they
give to other countries. Sad isn't it?
What happened to the old rule, "Charity
begins at
home"?
Another value we have discarded thanks to our
elected
officials... both parties!
