LET'S ROLL!!!
Good morning!
Good morning to you. Thanks for the start.
Good morning.
John Kerry said this recently:
Kerry asserted that "the Koran, the Torah, the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles had influenced a social conscience that he exercised in politics."
So the Koran has influenced John Kerry in politics? Okey doke.

Good Morning Chair. Thanks for getting us started.
French President Jacques Chirac has announced that the new youth employment law that sparked weeks of sometimes violent protests will be scrapped. He said it would be replaced by other measures to tackle youth unemployment.

IOW, the French caved. Again.
And here I was, all ready to start another live thread for tomorrow's riots in France.
"Frankly, if the Ku Klux Klan was having a rally downtown, would the school system allow that" to be used as credit? one parent asked WTOP radio (103.5 FM). "That's a political event. I would hope not."

You may get your chance yet. Just because the government caved doesn't mean the youth need to give up rioting.
Good morning!
Happy to hear that your one time need has been met and you can return home. Yes, we will worry, but we know you are in God's hands. God bless you and your family always and forever.
How were the Sunday shows yesterday?
We had a very stressful Saturday with my mil. She needed constant attention and if she didn't get it she wailed...all day long. She finally calmed down around 8 PM so I decided to go to bed early. After getting in bed for a few minutes, my dear husband noticed that I was not breathing..or responding to his questions. Next thing I know he's giving me CPR. The paramedics came and admitted it was due to a stressful day. All my vitals were fine by that time.
I will be making a doctor's appointment to get checked out.
Good point. On the Sunday Live thread, someone talked about the book Eurabia. Just reading the reviews has given me another perspective of Europe:
Bat Ye'or is the world's preeminent historian of Islam, jihad and dhimmitude--the reduced state of non-Muslim peoples living under Islamic rule. Here, she has masterfully portrayed the means by which the Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) unfolded over the past 30-plus years, and how that process relates to the World War II Axis--as well as the historical, 1,400-year jihad.
"There are three forms of jihad," says Bat Ye'or today, "the military jihad, the economic jihad and the cultural jihad." The EAD between the European Union and the Arab League has been a means of spreading the economic and cultural jihads from the Middle East to Europe.
The process outlined here began with Charles DeGualle's 1967 pronouncement that henceforward, France would assume a pro-Arab policy. In 1971, France began selling arms to Qaddafi, a step from which the EAD flowed as naturally as it did from DeGualle's policy initiative.
Before it agreed to establish the EAD, the Arab League had demanded that Europe establish pro-Arab and anti-American policies in all their united political, cultural and economic endeavors. The oil embargo was the catalyst which finally moved the European Economic Community to action. Now, writes Bat Ye'or, EEC ministers enacted resolutions that met the Arab demands, and which at the same time reversed the true intent of United Nations Resolution 242. Only then was the Arab oil embargo to Europe lifted.
You weren't breathing? That's more than stress, imo, and be sure to get thoroughly checked by the doctor.
Jemian, I'm so happy for you and yours that the last obstacle has vanished ! May GOD watch over all of you as you work for HIM.
ILLEGALS want their LEGAL "RIGHTS"?...and some citizens willing to bestow them? The world has truly gone mad.
On the plus side, John Kerry served in Vietnam. < /sarcasm>
Scary. Lysie, take care. I am so sorry. I'm glad your husband was so quick on the ball. (((Lysie))).
I will, thanks.
Jemian, I missed your announcement until I saw Carolinamom post about it. Congratulations!
Carolinamom, some days I truly think the world went insane while we slept. Right is wrong and wrong is right.
