Thanks for the McCain flag story.
Like anything that we take for granted,
we don't know how much our freedoms, our
pledge, and our flag truly mean until they're gone.

In the Hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, semi-risky and you will have to pay for the brain yourselves."

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?" The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain."

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the male brain so much more?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and so to the entire group said, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've been used."

Many people remember the Shah of Iran, but few people remember his
cousin, the Shan of Iran. This is because the unfortunate Shan had been
subject to epilepsy since youth. It would have been a disasterous
embarrasment to the family if the Shan's ailment had become public
knowledge, so if anyone were present when he was struck by an attack of
epilepsy, the palace guards had standing orders that those people must be
killed immediately.
Now, it came to pass that a grand party was thrown by the Shan to
celebrate his wedding day, with many many guests in attendance. Yet
crule fate was not to be denied, and in the middle of the party the Shan
was sturck by another epileptic siezure. Some of the guests, haveing
heard rumors of people mysteriously disappearing when with the Shan,
realized what would come next and made immediately for the door, and a
few actually escaped before the palace guards gained control of the
crowd. The next day one of those who had escaped noticed someone else
he'd seen at the party. He walked over and asked discreetly, "I say,
where were you when the fit hit the Shan?"

A Babylonian general was declared a traitor for leading a revolt.
He escaped the night before he was to be executed and hid in an old
Babylonian ziggurat, or temple, where he expected to find some of his
associates. Not finding them, he began to burn the papers they had
left and was immediately recaptured.
Moral of the story--Warning! The searchin' general has determined
that smoking ziggurats may be hazardous to your stealth.

I hope I pinged everyone in the Canteen. I don't want to leave anyone out. God bless! After you read it, you'll say what my husband says, "Can't you ever be brief woman"? ROFL!

I’m in my kitchen baking chocolate chip cookies for a Marine who would give her life for her country and flag tomorrow if asked. We are not rich. Cookies are the least I could do. The more I think about it, the madder I get. I’m mad as a hornet. I’m so mad I could spit.

This ruling yesterday will probably be overturned, Lord willing. I'm shocked these people would even "go there" right now (or ever). Yeah, it will be overturned, but it's the freaking principle of the matter. How dare they?!?! Over 3,000 innocent Americans were slaughtered 9 months ago, over half never to be found. Nothing to bury…nothing. They are a vapor. It was a blessing if the family got a finger back to bury. We’ve got thousands of troops out there now fighting this evil (our family and friends, mind you). Some of them are dying and coming home in body bags. How dare these evil people stab America in the back like this.

I heard on the news last night, this poor, traumatized Atheist…..bless his pea pickin’ heart….. is upset because he doesn’t want his daughter being ostracized for her beliefs. Well I say too *&^%$ bad!!!

That’s life. Being ostracized and feeling left out is part of growing up. Everyone reading this was ostracized in his or her childhood. We were all weird. We were all made fun of. Big deal. It put hair on my chest. It made me tough as nails. Yes growing up hurts. So does being an adult. Life hurts. So what. A court cannot legislate or make laws to protect children from being ostracized. What a crock!

When I was growing up, people made fun of me for the way I dressed. I couldn't wear a bikini and had to wear "granny suits", no short shorts, and no Jordache jeans so tight I couldn’t breathe. I wasn’t allowed to dance. Girls hated me and tortured me. Boys chased me only long enough to figure out I didn’t “put out” so that was the end of that. No date to the prom for me either (I had to ask a boy from another school to be my date. How embarrassing). I didn’t do drugs or drink in high school so no party invitations ever came to my mailbox. I stayed home, read books and ran for President of everything at school…and won. No one wanted to date me but I was electable. LOL!! Sniff, sniff…boo hoo…big deal. It’s over…it’s in the past. I lived through it. I’m a great adult now (I hope).

I DEMAND THE COURTS MAKE LAWS TO PROTECT THE GOODY GOODIES OF THIS WORLD!!! NOT

I don’t understand why the three letter word GOD is so offensive to people. I’m around people who believe differently than me all the time and I mind my manners and am not rude about it. I don’t freak out, get my panties in a wad and cause a big stink. I ADJUST and COPE. Why can’t non-Christians adjust? Is it too much to ask for people to just shut up, be polite, mind their manners and adjust?

I’m sick and tired of being told by a court to be tolerant. (Unconstitutional????) Lord have mercy, liberals have no earthly idea just how tolerant we are. We tolerate and tolerate and tolerate until we’re blue in the face. In fact, I think they count on our tolerance. They know we will sit back and be peaceful, tolerant good little Christians, mind our own business, raise our families, not rock the boat. They know we won’t fight. We’re too busy living from paycheck to paycheck so we can pay our *&^%$* taxes.

I’m sick to death of liberals. You know what??? They are BULLIES. They push, they shove, they pout, throw temper tantrums, stomp, kick their feet, snarl, and foam at the mouth to get their way. They make me sick.

If that flag, our precious flag, comes down, that’s it. That’s the end of it. I’m the eternal optimist, but I know in my heart, if that flag should ever come down, the world will go to hell in a giant suitcase. Evil will be free to practice their favorite extracurricular activities on billions of human beings around the globe. America is HOPE and PEACE because we ARE a God fearing nation. God has blessed us with unimaginable prosperity. He blessed us, so we could then bless the rest of the world. He loves everyone, not just his people. Why did he send Jonah to the Ninevites if he only loves "his people", the apostles to the gentiles?

And what really cracks me up, except I don’t feel like laughing, is people honestly think they can remove the word GOD, and they are rid of him. LOL Sorry buddy, but you can’t REMOVE God. You can try, but he isn’t going anywhere. God IS. God IS and that’s it. Period. End of discussion. Keep mocking him and making a fool of yourself trying to make him disappear. God will NEVER magically go “POOF”…away. God is with you, not matter how much you hate him or deny him.

I have nothing more to say. I’m back to making my cookies for a brave American who will fight for my children, our constitution and our flag. God bless her and all our other troops, alive and dead, who were stabbed in the back yesterday.

;-) If 9.11, and the hideous thought
of algore in the WhiteHouse, didn't
awaken some conservatives, then surely
this blasphemy should do the trick.

I pray we're right on this one. JL

[JustAmy]

heh heh
I could spend the rest of my day going thru old e-mail and still not keep up with you. LOL

[lodwick]

Huge applause from CenTex! Excellent.

[MistyCA]

ok, ok, ok! So you don't like the floral print! YOu want something more MANLY! LOL! Well, since we really do need as much support for the flag and the pledge as we can get, how about this burka? Now, the rules are real simple! It is the flag representing our sovereignty and the freedom's we enjoy in this nation. As such, some liberals would say that you are free to do whatever you want inside or outside this burka! HOWEVER! We here at FR do not believe that, nor do you! So treat your new burka respectfully with honor and integrity! LOL.....that ought to be a challenge, but I think you can live up to it! :)))))

[HiJinx]

[MistyCA]

Dipwad! LOL! Is that the same as maggot or scumbag??????? If so, we are on the same wavelength! :)

[tomkow6]
