YOU MIGHT BE A TRUE AMERICAN. . .

It is time to change from REDNECK humor to TRUE AMERICAN Humor!

Only it isn't seen as HUMOR, but the correct way to LIVE YOUR LIFE! If you feel the same, pass this on to your True American friends. Y'all know who they are...

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: It never occurred to you to be offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never burned an American flag.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You respect your elders and expect your to do the same.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

If you got this email from me, it is because I believe that you, like me, have just enough TRUE AMERICAN in you to have the same beliefs as those talked about in this email.

God Bless the U S A ! Amen

AND PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN ENGLISH.

Git'er done!!!!!!!!!!!!

HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

Hey all, I had to post this, this guy is so very right.

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT NOT OUR SOCIETY. IF I OFFENDED ANYONE BY THIS, I REALLY DON'T APOLOGIZE.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School , Kingston , Tennessee , by school Principal, Jody McLeod

"It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country."

Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it "an alternate lifestyle," and if someone is offended, that's OK.

I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK.

I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a "viable! means of birth control." If someone is offended, no problem...

I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess "Mother Earth" and call it "ecology."

I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment."

However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.

This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments.

Nevertheless, as a school principal, I frequently ask staff an d students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical... I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression.

For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time.

" However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM,in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so As far as I know, that's not against the law----yet."

One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray.

They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer's Box!

The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court of the United States of America- the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation, under GOD."

Somehow, Kingston , Tennessee Remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the Freedom OF Religion, not the Freedom FROM Religion. Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains!

JESUS said, "If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER."

If you are not ashamed, pass this on .

I'm not one bit ashamed to pass this on, Are you?

Robin Williams Plan
Posted:Mar 22, 2007 4:26 pm

The Plan!

I Love New York " in Arabic.

You gotta love Robin Williams......
Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.

Robin Williams' plan...

(Hard to argue with this logic!)

"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan."

1) "The US will apologize to the world for our "interference" in their affairs, past and present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those "good ole boys", we will never "interfere" again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea , the Middle East , and the Philippines They don't want us there, anyway. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are.
They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here.

Asylum would never be available to anyone.

We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5) No foreign "students" over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't attend classes, they get a "D" and it's back home baby.

6) The US will make a strong effort
to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness.
The caribou will have to cope for a while .

7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not "interfere." They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need.
Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need
it most get very little, if anything.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us "Ugly Americans" any longer.
The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it or LEAVE...

Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer
saying "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "

If you agree with the above forward it to friends...

Subject: How to Destroy America
Posted:Mar 15, 2007 4:48 am
Last Updated:May 30, 2024 2:58 pm

Subject: America

Wherever you stand, please take the time to read
this; it ought to scare the pants off you!

We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of
Colorado . In that context his thoughts are
particularly poignant. Last week there was an
immigration overpopulation conference in Washington ,
DC, filled to capacity by many of America 's finest
minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by
the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his
latest book, "Mexifornia," explaining how
immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying
the entire state of California . He said it would
march across the country until it destroyed all
vestiges of The American Dream.

Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D.
Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to
destroy America . The audience sat spellbound as he
described eight methods for the destruction of the
United States .

He said, "If you believe that America is too smug,
too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy
America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in
history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold
Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise
and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show
that all great nations commit suicide.'"

"Here is how they do it," Lamm said: "First, to
destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or
multi-lingual and bi cultural country." History shows
that no nation can survive the tension, conflict,
and antagonism of two or more competing languages
and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to
be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society
to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour
Lipset, put it this way: "The histories of bilingual
and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are
histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy." Canada ,
Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of
national existence in which minorities press for
autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus
have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic
rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques,
Bretons, and Corsicans.".

Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America , "Invent
'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to
maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief
that all cultures are equal. That there are no
cultural differences. Make it an article of faith
that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due
solely to prejudice and discrimination by the
majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.

Third step to destruction ; "We could make the
United States an 'Hispanic Quebec ' without much
effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather
than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic
Monthly recently: "The apparent success of our own
multi ethnic and multicultural experiment might have
been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony.
Without the dominance that once dictated
ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American,
we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to
hold us together."
Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep
their own language and culture. I would replace the
melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor.
It is important to ensure that we have various
cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their
differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing
their similarities."

"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing
demographic group the least educated. I would add a
second underclass, un assimilated, undereducated, and
antagonistic to our population. I would have this
second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high
school."

"My fifth point for destroying America would be to
get big foundations and business to give these
efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic
identity, and I would establish the cult of
'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think
that their lack of success was the fault of the
majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming
all minority failure on the majority population."

"My sixth plan for America 's downfall would include
dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I
would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress
differences rather than similarities. Diverse people
worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other -
that is, when they are not killing each other. A
diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most
historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it
takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient
Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to
the same race; they possessed a common Language and
literature; and they worshiped the same gods. All
Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common
enemy, Persia , threatened their liberty. Yet all
these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two
factors: local patriotism and geographical
conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece
fell. "E. Pluribus Unum" --From many, one. In that
historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the
'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will balkanize
America as surely as Kosovo."

"Next to last, I would place some subjects off
limits; make it taboo to talk about anything against
the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar
to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped
discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like
'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate.
Having made America a bilingual/bi cultural country,
having established multi-culturism, having the large
foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I
would next make it impossible to enforce our
immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That
because immigration has been good for America , it
must always be good. I would make every individual
immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact
of millions of them."

In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm
wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally
he said,. "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson
Davis 's book "Mexifornia." His book is dangerous. It
exposes the plan to destroy America . If you feel
America . deserves to be destroyed, don't read that
book."

There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose
like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the
conference. Every American in that room knew that
everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding
methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively
across the United States today. Discussion is being
suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the
foundation of our educational system and national
cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice
female genital mutilation are growing as we
celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing
into the Third World as corporations create a Third
World in America - take note of California and other
states - to date, ten million illegal aliens and
growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's
book "1984." In that story, three slogans are
engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is
peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is
strength."

Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on
everyone at the conference that our nation and the
future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble
and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration
monster stopped within three years, it will rage
like a California wildfire and destroy everything in
its path especially The American Dream.

If you care for and love our country as I do, take
the time to pass this on just as I did for you.
NOTHING is going to happen if you don't.

Hey all,
My doc finally gave me the OK to go back to work.
I am so glad I'm back to work now, I really missed it.
My arm is 95% healed so I still have to be careful doing somethings.
I am also in PT to get my strength back in my arm, and I am almost back to full strength.
Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers.

Military Rules for Non-Military Personnel

Military Rules for Non-Military Personnel

"Dear Civilians, "We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation have many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military. For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance:

(1) The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem---kick their ass.

(2) When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest---kick their ass.

(3) Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a disabled veteran kicks their ass.

(4) (GUYS) If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs), telling others that you used to be "Special Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay when you were seven years old. Now, it will only make you look stupid and get your ass kicked.

(5) Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them, "Do you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass-kicking ( are exempt).

(6) If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard 'non-military', inform them of their mistake---and kick their ass.

(7) Next time Old Glory (the US flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her---of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass-kicking.

( Don't try to discuss politics with a military member or a veteran. We are Americans, and we all bleed the same, regardless of our party affiliation. Our Chain of Command is to include our Commander-In-Chief (C in C). The President (for those who didn't know) is our C in C regardless of political party. We have no inside track on what happens inside those big important buildings where all those representatives meet. All we know is that when those civilian representatives screw up the situation, they call upon the military to go straighten it out. If you keep asking us the same stupid questions repeatedly, you will get your ass kicked!

(9) 'Your mama wears combat boots' never made sense to me---stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore, could kick your ass!

(10) Bin Laden and the Taliban are not Communists, so stop saying 'Let's go kill those Commies!' And stop asking us where he is? Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military. That reminds me---if you see anyone calling those damn psychic , let me know, so I can go kick their ass.

(11) 'Flyboy' (Air Force), 'Jarhead' (Marines), 'Grunt' (Army), 'Squid' (Navy), 'Puddle Jumpers' (Coast Guard), etc., are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. That could get your ass kicked.

(12) Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of sailors and troops far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country would get its ass kicked."

"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.
"It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.

"It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.

"It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."

(Please pass this on so I won't have to kick your ass!)
"If you can read this, thank a teacher"
"If you are reading it in English, thank a veteran."

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year

As we gather together to celebrate this holiday season with friends and family let us each take a moment to reflect on the year that has past.
The good that has occurred in our lives, the bad that we overcame and survived.
Let us all wish each and everyone of our friends and family good health, prosperity, Love and Joy for this up coming new year.

This May sound like a recording to some but....
Whether you believe in or disapprove of, what our elected officials have done by sending our Military personnel overseas, just remember that these Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines each VOLUNTEERED to be in the US ARMED SERVICES. Those Volunteers who have been put in Harms way to protect those people who are now enjoying freedoms that they never had before, and to protect us against those people that, because of their beliefs, do not like us because of the freedoms that we represent.
Let Us all pray for those that cannot be with their families this holiday season because they are in far away lands protecting freedoms that WE in America take for granted everyday.

Let Us wish the unseen people that keep us all safe and secure here at home, The Police, Fire, and EMS people that work during the holidays, A safe and healthy Holiday season and a trouble free new year.

As someone who has been in the Emergency Services(former Firefighter and current EMT)for over 25 years, Please Be safe traveling to and from family and friends' houses, and parties.
Please Don't Drink and Drive, We all want to see you again in one piece and in good health this up coming new year, not in a casket or hospital bed because you were stupid enough to drive after you've been drinking holiday cheer.

So everyone have a safe an enjoyable holiday season.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS THANK A TEACHER.
IF YOU ARE READING THIS IN ENGLISH THANK A VETERAN!!!

Well,
My arm is 95% healed so my doctor has allowed me to start getting my strength back so I can return to work on the day after Christmas.
So I may not be online as much due to the fact that I will be at the gym working out on the days I don't have therapy.
I hope everyone has a very good, happy, and Safe holiday season.
See Ya'all when I see Ya.

Before we indulge this day of Turkey, Stuffing, potatoes, Gravy, and football. Let us all pray for and give thanks to those men and women that will not be able to sit at their families Thanksgiving table.
They are serving their country in far away lands risking their lives everyday so that we and others like us may be able to freely give thanks for what we have.
Let us not forget those men and women who, because of the jobs they do, will also not be able to join their families at the table for thanks giving dinner because they are the Police Officers, Firefighters, EMT's, Paramedics, Nurses, Doctors, and the staff that supports them, so that we may live in peace, good health, and safety.

Sen. John Kerry> Open mouth, insert foot, bite down hard

a Marine's letter to Sen. Kerry!!
oohhh I luv it!! Thanks USN and USMC!!
Body: Soldiers are murdering according to John Kerry
This is something that should be all over the media!!!!! Jay

{This was written by my husband, Aaron, who is currently deployed to Iraq, in defense of a recent comment made by Senator John Kerry. Pass it along, it might inspire someone else to speak up! ~ Michelle}

Yesterday John Kerry said, "You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well, and if you don�t, you get stuck in Iraq�

So I wrote him a letter:
***************************************************

I am a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I am currently on my second tour in Iraq, a tour in which I volunteered for. I speak Arabic and Spanish and I plan to tackle Persian Farsi soon. I have a Bachelors and an Associates Degree and between deployments I am pursuing an M.B.A. In college I was a member of several academic honor societies, including the Golden Key Honor Society. I am not unique among the enlisted troops. Many of my enlisted colleagues include lawyers, teachers, mechanics, engineers, musicians and artists just to name a few. You say that your comments were directed towards the President and not us. If we were stupid Senator Kerry, we might have believed you.

I am not a victim of President Bush. I proudly serve him because he is my Commander and Chief. If it was you who was President, I would serve you just as faithfully. I serve America Senator Kerry, and I am also providing a service to the good people of Iraq. I have not terrorized them in the middle of the night, them or murdered them as you have accused me of before. I am doing my part to help them rebuild. My role is a simple one, but important. You see Senator Kerry, like it or not, we came here and removed a tyrant (who terrorized Iraqis in the middle of the night, and them and murdered them). And we have a responsibility to see to it that another one doesn�t take his place. The people of Iraq are recovering from an abusive relationship with a terrible government and it�s going to take some time to help them recover from that. We can�t treat this conflict like a microwave dinner and throw a temper tantrum because we feel like it�s taking too long.

Senator Kerry, you don�t have to agree with this war. You don�t have to say nice things about those of us who choose to make sacrifices for the rights of every American rather than sit back and simply feel entitled to it. But please Senator Kerry, if you�re going to call me a stupid murdering , stick by what you say. Don�t tell me that I misunderstood or that you would never insult a veteran because you�re one too. Having been there and done that does not give you a free pass to insult me.

My suggestion for you, Senator Kerry, is to remember that your speeches are recorded, and broadcast to us simpletons over here. You may want to write down what you want to say before you say it, maybe have somebody look at it before you say it and tell you what others might hear. Remember that we can�t read your mind, if there are any misinterpretations in what you say, it�s because you didn�t communicate clearly.

Good luck to you Senator Kerry, if nothing else it�s always entertaining to watch you try and climb out of the holes that you constantly dig for yourself.

Sincerely,
Somebody who is watching his grow up in photographs so that you can have the right to say whatever you want about him.

hey all time for another update,

Well I just got home from the doctors office, He says my arm is healing but....Not Fast enough to go back to work yet
Now it appears that I will not be back to work till sometime in December.

I will still have to go to PT 3 times a week to gain my strength back, but he is allowing me to go to the gym to work out my other body parts(and hopefully lose some of this tonnage I have gained sitting on my butt).

So hopefully by the time the new year rolls around I will be thinner and back to work.
Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it.

I do agree that European whites were favored over blacks and hispanics and others.
But it is time to wake up and let those people who want to get ahead in life do so whether they be white, black, hispanic or other.
It is time to Prove to the minorities that if you work hard, get a education, they can get out of the ghetto, move to a better place to live where you can raise your .

It is not the teachers fault if minority do poorly on tests, maybe if their parents had been there to guide / push / discipline / talk with their about the value of education in todays world, maybe they would score better.

It is also time to tell the parents of todays minority youths that in the world today you are what you make yourself to be.
In todays world anyone can do just about anything they want.
Be anyone they want to be.

It is time to let everyone in America know that discriminatory rules, regulations, policies, ARE WRONG!!!!
That includes rules that are discriminatory against white people.

"All men are created equal" doesn't mean only white men, doesn't exclude women, or minorities, It means that everyone is equal!!!

There are lots of minorities that have made something of themselves without being a sports star.
These were people who were raised in the ghetto but wanted something better for themselves.

They were brought up by single parents mostly, who worked 2 or more jobs so that their could do better than what they had.
That same parent also communicated to their what was right and what was wrong.
They taught their to believe in God.
They taught their respect for others and elders.
They were not judgmental about who were their 's friend, but was also there to caution their about doing things that they may be forced to do by their friends that maybe wrong.

It is time to stop changing the tests so that minorities can score better. If they want to do better of those tests let them study harder like every other person did who passed with a good grade.

In closing I have been turned down for jobs because:
1. I was white and they needed more minorities because of quotas.
2. I am over 6ft tall, and white.
3. I don't speak spanish(this was a McDonalds)
4. I graduated college with A.S. Degree with High Honors.
5. I wasn't a minority, so I was not able to receive Five extra points on a civil service test that would have put me higher on the list of eligible people for the job even though there were minorities that scored less than I did and minorities that scored better than I before receiving the five extra points.
