Running Late This Week

AMEN ANN
The "offense to Islam" ruse is merely an excuse for Muslims to revert to their default mode: rioting and setting things on fire. These people have a serious anger management problem. So it's not exactly a scoop that Muslims are engaging in violence. A front-page story would be "Offended Muslims Remain Calm." With a few exceptions, the media won't show the cartoons that incited mass violence around the globe (cartoons available at www.anncoulter.com). And yet, week after week, American patriots endure "The Boondocks" without complaint. Where's the justice here?

Gerardo Sandoval [San Francisco Board of Supervisors] made this statement on 'Hannity and Colmes'

"The United States should not have a military"

He must have repeated it 10 times, and was given plenty of opportunities to retract his comment......But instead he took these opportunities to prove what a dumbass he is. This fool is so out of touch even Alan Colmes (Liberal) was disgusted......Obviously, Hannity wanted to puke, but the best part was watching Colmes rip the moronic supervisor

IMMIGRATION
I acknowledge that it's ridiculous for a child who doesn't speak English to be expected to pass an Enlanguagengauge exam. But why should the school (and the community) foot the bill for providing the child with an exam in her own language? Why should the onus not be on the child's family to have a working knowledge of English before they get here?

From the 1890s until the 1960s, immigrants to America had to prove that they:1) had a basic proficiency in the language 2) had a job, so that they and their families would not become burdens taxpayer's 3) had a sponsor, someone who would pay their expenses should their job not work out.

If they couldn't meet those criteria, they didn't get in. That's what Ellis Island was for, to screen out the undesirables before they got onto the mainland. Our politicians threw out those requirements in the '60s, and since then we have been besotted with waves of immigrants who cannot support themselves, yet are encouraged to keep their languages and customs, and not assimilate, ensuring that they will remain wards of the state. During the same period, welfare rolls have swollen to unprecedented levels.

I'm not anti-immigrant. With my personal background, how could I be? But my immigrant ancestors came here to become American and never asked for anything from anybody. They certainly never asked the schools to provide educational materials in German, Greek, or Gaelic for their children. And they came here legally.


A YOUNGER VIEW, A 16yo girl wrote this [maybe ALL hope is not lost]
The basic timeline of all human kind is laid out like this. We start off meaning well. And then we get worse, man kind slips into some kind of funk. And then we get better, we have like this lucid period in our lives, for like, say a couple generations. Then we slip back into that little funk, and this time, we get comfortable there, thinking, "Hey, we'll get better."

But, no, we don't. We get worse. Because we have become so complacent with our lives, down and dirty as they are, that we see no real need to fix anything. In fact, we see nothing that needs to be fixed! Then we get worse still. To the point that our ancestors squirm in their graves. And then, we get so bad we wonder if we were ever good.

Why? Cause we didn't learn our lesson. We never do, it's not part of our mystique. Back during the 1500's. If a man was caught defiling a boy. That man was either killed on the spot, or beheaded.

Understand this, your life is what you make it. And if you want to go to Africa understand that you can't take any of the amendments with you. The Declaration of Independence is not a badge you wear unless you are an American. And an African American is not an American. An African American is a African individual who moved here from Africa.

If you are a black man or woman, child, boy or girl, born here in America,
you are an American. Not an African American.
If you are a Hispanic individual born in America. You are an American.
If you are an Asian individual, born in America. You are an American.

HA HA HILDABEAST
Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school in Ithaca, New York, to talk about the world. After her talk she offers question time.One little boy puts up his hand, and the Senator asks him what his name is.

'Kenneth', replied the little boy.

'And what is your question, Kenneth?'

'I have three questions:
1. Whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
2. Why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office?
3. Whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?'

Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.

When they resume Hillary says 'OK, where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?'

A different little boy puts his hand up. Hillary points him out & asks him what his name is.

'My name is Larry.'

'And what is your question, Larry?'

'I have 5 questions:
1. Whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
2. Why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office?
3. Whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?
4. Why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?
5. What happened to Kenneth?'

Observational
When a woman wears leather clothing, a man's heart beats quicker, his throat gets dry, he goes weak in the knees, and he begins to think irrationally.

Ever wonder why?

Because she smells like a new truck.

Origin of St Valentine
Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs who were being persecuted under Roman Emperor Claudius II. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith in effectual, commended him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270.

The origin of St. Valentine, and how many St. Valentines there were, remains a mystery. One theory is that he was caught marrying Christian couples and aiding any Christians who were being persecuted under Emperor Claudius in Rome [when helping them was considered a crime].

He is the patron saint of bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy matravelersove, lovers, plague, travellers, young people. *you could make some comments about love being equivalent to keeping bees and the plague, but I wont' go there*
