          Reply:

          Dear Confused Student:

          

          I am not allowed in schools.

          

          Sincerely,

          GOD

          ———————————————————-

          

          How did this all of this insanity get started???

          

          —————–

          Let’s see…

          I think it started when athiest, activist

          Madeline Murray O’Hare complained

          she didn’t want any prayer in our schools.

          

          And we said, OK..

          ——————

          Then, someone said

          you better not read the Holy Bible in school,

          the very same Bible that says,

          “thou shall not murder, thou shall not steal

          and love your neighbors as yourself,”

          

          And we said, OK…

          —————–

          Dr. Benjamin Spock said

          we shouldn’t spank our children when they

          misbehaved because their little personalities

          would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem.

          And we said, an expert should know

          what he’s talking about so we won’t spank them anymore..

          ——————

          Then someone said teachers and principals better not

          discipline our children when they misbehave.

          

          And the school administrators said

          no faculty member in this school had

          better touch a student when they misbehave

          because we don’t want any bad publicity

          and we surely don’t want to be sued.

          

          And we accepted their reasoning…

          ——————

          Then someone said,

          Why not let our daughters have abortions if they want them

          and they won’t even have to tell their parents.

          And we said, that’s a grand idea…

          ——————

          Then some wise school board member said,

          since boys will be boys and they’re going to do it anyway,

          let’s give our sons all the condoms they want,

          so they can have all the fun they desire,

          and won’t have to tell their parents they got them at school.

          

          And we said, that’s another great idea…

          ——————

          Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn’t matter

          what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.

          And we said, it doesn’t matter

          what anybody, including the President, does in private

          as long as we have jobs and the economy is good.

          ——————

          And someone else took that appreciation a step further and

          published pictures of nude children and then

          stepped further still by making them available on the Internet.

          And we said, everyone’s entitled to free speech….

          ——————

          And the entertainment industry said,

          let’s make TV shows and movies that

          promote profanity, violence and illicit sex…

          And let’s record music that encourages

          rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes…

          And we said, it’s just entertainment

          and it has no adverse effect

          and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.

          ——————

          Now we’re asking ourselves why

           our children have no conscience,

          why they don’t know right from wrong,

          and why it doesn’t bother them to kill

          strangers, classmates or even themselves.

          ——————

          Undoubtedly,

          if we thought about it long and hard enough,

          it seems we could finally figure it out.

          I’m sure it has a great deal to do with…

          

          “WE REAP WHAT WE SOW”

This is good! Below is a good example of a discussion with a master of circular logic. Don’t be logical, don’t
respect the truth or your adversary, just say what you think makes a new case when the previous case gets too
difficult to defend. On the streets of downtown Houston, May 1, 2006.

Jim Moore reporting for a Houston TV station:

Jim: Juan, I see that you and thousands of other protesters are marching in the streets to demonstrate for your
cause. Exactly what is your cause and what do you expect to accomplish by this protest?

Juan: We want our rights. We will show you how powerful we are. We will bringHouston to its knees!

Jim: What rights?

Juan: Our right to live here…legally. Our right to get all the benefits you g et.

Jim: When did you come to the United States?

Juan: Six years ago. I crossed over the border at night with seven other friends.

Jim: Why did you come?

Juan: For work. I can earn as much in a month as I could in a year in Mexico. Besides, I get free health care, our
Mexican children can go to school free, if I lose my job I will get Welfare, and someday I will have the Social
Security. Nothing like that inMexico!

Jim: Did you feel badly about breaking our immigration laws when you came?

Juan: No! Why should I feel bad? I have a right to be here. I have a right to amnesty. I paid lots of money for my
Social Security and Green Cards.

Jim: How did you acquire those documents?

Juan: From a guy in Dallas. He charged me a lot of money too.

Jim: Did you know that those documents were forged?

Juan: It is of no matter. I have a right to be here and work.

Jim: What is the “right” you speak of?

Juan: The right of all Aliens. It is found in your Constitution. Read it!

Jim: I have read it, but I do not remember it saying anything about rights for Aliens.

Juan: It is in that part where it says that all men have Alien rights, like the right to pursue happiness. I
wasn’t happy in Mexico, so I came here.

Jim: I think you are referring to the declaration of Independence and that document speaks to unalienable
rights .. Not Alien rights.

Juan: Whatever.

Jim: Since you are demanding to become an American citizen, why then are you carrying a Mexican Flag?

< /FONT>Juan: Because I am Mexican.

Jim: But you said you want to be given amnesty … to become a US citizen.

Juan: No. This is not what we want. This is our country, a part of Mexico that you Gringos stole from us. We want
it returned to its rightful owner.

< SPAN style=”FONT-SIZE: 18px; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial”>Jim: Juan, you are standing in Texas. After
wining the war with Mexico, Texasbecame a Republic, and later Texans voted to join the USA. It was not stolen
fromMexico.

Juan: That is a Gringo lie. Texas was stolen. So was California, New Mexico andArizona. It is just like all the
other stuff you Gringos steal, like oil and babies. You are a country of thieves.

Jim: Babies? You think we steal babies?

Juan: Sure. Like from Korea and Vietnam and China. I see them all over the place. You let all these foreigners in,
but try to keep us Mexicans out. How is this fair? 

Jim: So, you really don’t want to become an American citizen then.

Juan: I just want my rights! Everyone has a right to live, work, and speak their native language wherever and
whenever they please. That’s another thing we demand. All signs and official documents should be in Spanish .
Teachers must teach in Spanish. Soon, more people here in Houston will speak Spanish than English. It is our right!

Jim: If I were to cross over the border into Mexico without proper documentation, what rights would I have there?

Juan: None. You would probably go to jail, but that’s different.

Jim: How is it different? You said everyone has the right to live wherever they please.

Juan: You Gringos are a bunch of land grabbing thieves. Now you want Mexico too?Mexico has its rights. You Gringos
have no rights in Mexico. Why would you want to go there anyway? There is no free medical service, schools, or
welfare there for foreigners such as you. You cannot even own land in my country. Stay in the country of your
birth.

Jim: I can see that there is no way that we can agree on this issue. Thank you for your comments.

Juan: Viva Mexico!

You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front page of the NY Times or on the lead story of the major
news networks. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High
School in California.

I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington.
The image of the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on American soil is already spreading on
In ternet forums and via e-mail.

Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every representative in the state and
federal government. If you choose to remain uninvolved, do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call
your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be “redistributed” to the activists while you are so
peacefully staying out of the “fray”. Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its
citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values. One person CAN make a difference. One plus one plus one
plus one plus one plus one……..

The battle for our secure borders and immigration laws that actually mean something, however, hasn’t even begun.

A Nun’s Lunch

June 9, 2007

 A Nun’s Lunch.

An old nun who was living in a convent next to a Brooklyn construction
site took offense to the coarse language of the construction workers
and decided to spend some time with them to correct their vocabulary.

She decided she would take her lunch,
sit with the workers and talk with
them. She put her sandwich in a
brown bag and walked over to the spot
where the men were eating.

She walked up to the group and with
a big smile said: “Do you men know
Jesus Christ?”

They shook their heads and looked at each other.

One of the workers looked up into
the steel work and yelled “Anybody up
there know Jesus Christ?”

One of the steelworkers
yelled down a “Yea. Why”?

The worker yelled back
“His wife’s here with his lunch.”

Mitchell Forrest Simmons

June 9, 2007

Another warrior from the “Greatest Generation” departed with honors this week. Mitchell Forrest Simmons was 89. He was born and raised in South Carolina. Upon graduating from Clemson, he joined the Marine Corps and attained the rank of Major, after leading assaults at historic battles on Guadalcanal, Peleliu and Okinawa. Mitch conducted his life as an offering, indebted to his Creator, rather than living life as if it were owed to him. He lived to go, not to stay. He fought the good fight and he kept the faith. I knew Mitch since I was a child. He was a great American and will be missed by many, especially his wife, Fran, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. 

Guard the gates of heaven Mitch.

“It is the highest impertinence and presumption, therefore, in kings and ministers, to pretend to watch over the economy of private people…” —Adam Smith

Hilrya Rodhamovich Clintonov’s economic plan

Demo-gogue presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gave a little-noticed stump speech this week that should’ve sent up countless red flags.

By now, all of us know about Clinton’s re-warmed plans for socializing medicine, regulating healthcare services and providers and centralizing government control of about ten percent of the U.S. economy.

This week, however, Clinton went national with her classist “it takes a village” model, claiming that free-enterprise Capitalism is the root of all evil.

In a speech on “shared prosperity,” she proclaimed that it’s time to replace the conservative notion of an “ownership society” and economy with one based on communal responsibility and prosperity, alleging that the current system is really an “on your own” society that increases the income gap between “poor” and “rich” Americans.

Now, if Clinton is implying that individual initiative, self-reliance, responsibility and ingenuity—the very foundation of free enterprise—are the keys to creating wealth, then she is right. If she is implying that dependence upon the state and redistribution of income creates poverty, then she is right here, too—but that was not her message.

“I prefer a ‘we’re all in it together’ society,” she went on. “I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none.”

In a quintessential example of Clintonista doublespeak, Hillary outlined her economic fairness doctrine: “There is no greater force for economic growth than free markets, but markets work best with rules that promote our values, protect our workers and give all people a chance to succeed. Fairness doesn’t just happen. It requires the right government policies.”

So, according to Ms. Clinton, free markets work best when they’re constrained by the right government policies. In other words, free markets work best when they’re not free.

Apparently Hillary has also been smoking Fidel’s hand-rolled cigars. How else are we to account for her failure to recall that centralized economies, like that of the former Soviet Union, are doomed to fail and have cost millions of lives along the way?

Of course, Clinton’s allusion to “rules” is Demo-code for taxation, which, as we know, is often the forcible transfer of wealth from one group to another. This taxation, in turn, creates reliable political constituencies for Democrats. As George Bernard Shaw once noted, “A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend upon the support of Paul.”

Clinton’s economic plan is nothing more than a contemporary remake of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s class-warfare proclamation: “Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle.”

In fact, Roosevelt’s “principle” was no more American than Clinton’s. It was a paraphrase of Karl Marx’s Communist maxim, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.”

Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev said of Roosevelt’s “New Deal” paradigm shift, “We can’t expect the American people to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.”

Echoing that sentiment was perennial Socialist Party presidential candidate Norman Thomas (the grandfather, incidentally, of Newsweek Assistant Managing Editor Evan Thomas): “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

No irony was spared in another interview this week, when Hillary Clinton was asked about the enormous wealth that she and Bill have amassed since their co-presidency. Clinton replied, “My husband and I never had any money. Now suddenly we’re rich. I have nothing against rich people.”

“Never had any money”? Spare me. She and Bill were long ago cashing in on commodity futures and real-estate deals. Still, the wealth they have accumulated in recent years must make those good ol’ days seem Spartan by comparison.

Hillary claims that if elected, she will “hit the restart button on the 21st century and redo it the right way.” I checked, and the Clintons were in the White House the first year of the 21st Century. Did they push the wrong button then?

Only when the Clintons voluntarily surrender for redistribution all their assets to the U.S. Treasury will I then consider her economic views with at least the sincerity afforded one who is not a complete hypocrite. In the eternal interim, her Socialist “we’re all in it together” claptrap should be considered a perilous hazard to prosperity for all.

Record Lake Trout

June 9, 2007

NEW COLORADO RECORD LAKE TROUT TOPS 50 POUNDS

During the 40 years Don Walker has fished at Blue Mesa Reservoir he’s caught plenty of big lake trout. But none measured up to the one he caught May 23.
  
Walker, 61, now holds the record for the biggest lake trout caught in Colorado: The  fish weighed 50 pounds, 5 ounces, measured 44 1/4 inches long with a girth of 34 3/8 inches. The record lake trout, also known as a Mackinaw, weighed nearly 4 pounds more than the previous record lake trout caught in 2003 that weighed 46 pounds 14 ounces and measured 42 1/2 inches long.  

“I’ve been fishing over there for a long time, so when it hit I knew I had a big fish on,” Walker said from his home in Florence.  

Walker and his wife, Paula, were fishing from a boat near Soap Creek in about 40 feet of water. He used a tube jig and was bouncing the lure on the bottom. The technique is known as “jigging.” The temperature of the water at the surface was 53 degrees. Walker explained that lake trout fishing seems to be the best when the surface water temperature is between 50 degrees and 55 degrees.  

With his graphite rod rigged with 12-pound test line, Walker fought the fish for 25 minutes before bringing it up to the boat.  

“You have to play a fish like that just right or you’ll break the line. The rod was bent double,” Walker said.  

His wife netted the fish when it got near the boat.  
“You need a lot of help with a fish like that, you need a good netter. Paula did a good job,” Walker said.  

Ironically, the man who held the record previously was fishing from another boat a short distance away. Larry Cornell of Pueblo, who is also Walker’s brother-in-law, watched as the new record Mackinaw was brought to the surface.  

“I was there when he caught that one,” Walker said.  

Walker weighed his fish in the boat and was surprised to see that it probably weighed 50 pounds. They went to shore and weighed it again to be sure. Then they took it to the Gunnison office of the Colorado Division of Wildlife for an official weigh-in and measurement. A DOW wildlife officer verified that the fish set the new record.  

Blue Mesa Reservoir is one of Colorado’s most productive fisheries. The water warms up more than other higher-elevation reservoirs and that encourages abundant growth of phyto- and zooplankton – microorganisms that provide a food source for fish. Kokanee salmon, brown trout and rainbow trout thrive in the lake. In turn those fish provide a food source for lake trout which are a predator species.  

The daily bag limit for lake trout is 8 per day of any size.  
Walker plans to have his big fish mounted.  

His tip for catching big Mackinaws: “We’ve sat out there many days and haven’t caught any fish. You’ve got to have a lot of patience and be at the right place at the right time.”  

Blue Mesa Reservoir is located about 10 miles east of Gunnison in south central Colorado.
