Do you believe that the word "God" should stay in American  
culture?       
  
NBC this morning had a poll on this question.  They had the highest Number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls, and the Percentage was the same as this:       
  
86% to keep the words, "IN God We Trust" and "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, 14% against.

That is a pretty 'commanding' public response.     

No matter what our kids
And the new generation think about us,

WE ARE AWESOME !!!  
OUR Lives are LIVING PROOF !!!  


To Those of Us Born  
1925 - 1970   :

At the end
Of this email is a quote of the month by Jay Leno. If you don't read anything else,
Please  
Read what he
Said.  


Very well stated,
Mr. Leno.  
~~~~~~~~~  
TO ALL THE
KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE  
1930s, '40s, '50s,
'60s and '70s!!


First, we survived
Being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank  
While they were
Pregnant.  


They took aspirin,
Ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.  


Then, after that
Trauma, we were  
Put to sleep
On our tummies  
In baby cribs
Covered  
With bright colored
Lead-based paints.  


We had no
Childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets,  
And, when we
Rode our bikes,  
We had baseball
Caps,  
Not helmets, on
Our heads.  




As infants and
Children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts,
No air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes..  




Riding in the
Back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.  


We drank water
From the garden hose and not from a bottle.  




We shared one
Soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.  




We ate cupcakes,
White bread, real butter, and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar.
And we weren't overweight.
WHY?  


Because we were
Always outside playing...that's why!  


We would leave
Home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights
Came on.  
No one was
Able to reach us all day.  
--And, we were
OKAY.  




We would spend
Hours building  
Our go-carts out
Of scraps  
And then ride
Them down the hill,  
Only to find
Out we forgot the brakes.. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned
To solve the problem..  




We did not
Have Play Stations, Nintendos and X-boxes. There were  
No video games,
No 150 channels on cable,  
No video movies
Or DVDs,  
No surround-sound or
CDs,  
No cell phones,  
No personal computers,  
No Internet and
No chat rooms.  




WE HAD FRIENDS  
And we went
Outside and found them!  


We fell out
Of trees, got cut,  
Broke bones and
Teeth,  
And there were
No lawsuits  
From those accidents.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama, You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America, and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because you align yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America ' crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist "goose that lays the golden" egg which provides the highest standard of Living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use extortion tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything y ou do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaugh's, Hannitys, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

By Lou Pritchett, Procter & Gamble

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it. Big surprise. Since it hit the Internet, however, it has had over 500,000 hits.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.. It's happening right now.

• The most pressing issue is whether Muslims will begin taking back their highjacked Religion from the fundamentalist Crazies. A recent few articles offer a ray of hope. 1) "A Firestorm Over Islamic History"' by Tom Holland, WSJ Saturday / Sunday, Jan 10-11, 2015, Review, pC3. 2) "Ways of Looking At the Prophet", review of book by Kacia Ali, ibid, Books, pC6. 3) "What Can Muslims Do To Reclaim Their 'Beautiful Religion'?", a Statement by Gatestone Institute, ibid, pC7. "France, The Crucible of Europe", by Ross Douthat, ibid, pC11.
• Crime, Punishment...and Rehabilitation.  See "Out of Trouble. Out of Work", by Binyamin Alpplebaum, Sunday Times, March 1, 2015, Sunday Business, p1.  These people should be able to earn a second chance - or not.
• Members of the world's "most deliberative body" act like the three monkeys with self-imposed sensory deficits. SHAME ON YOU.  See "The Appalling Talk of Boycotting Netanyahu", by Alam M. Dershowitz, Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2015, Opinion, pA13.  Being STUPID is not necessary to be a Leftist Liberal.  But it sure helps. 
• Talk about STUPID. Leftist Liberals are oblivious to the concept of "learning from experience".  Whether it be the disaster imposed on the Black Community and Culture by the idiocies of the 30 years' "War on Poverty", or the failure to learn a thing from the Cold War and the directly related hot wars, they are certifiable. See "Putin's Culture of Fear and Death", by Garry Kasparov, in WSJ Monday, March 2, 2015, Opinion, pA`13.
