Andy Rooney and Prayer

Andy Rooney says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin , but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his Theory of Evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer..

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.
And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.

When in Rome .....

But what about the atheists? Is another argument.

What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.

God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn't care what they want. It is time that the majority rules! It's time we tell them, "You don't have to pray; you don't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right; but you are no longer going to take our rights away. We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!"

God bless us one and all...Especially those who denounce Him. God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.

Let's make 2010 the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions.

Keep looking up.

THE DEATH OF A FRIEND

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common sense.

Mr Sense had been with us for many years.
No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic shenanigans.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as fairness and truth. Common sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (parents, not children are in charge).

His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well meaning but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harrassment for kissing a classmate on the cheek, teens suspended from school for using a mouthmash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding a unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Mr. Senses health declined even further when schools were required were get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Finally , Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than the victims.

Common Sense could not go on when the leaders passed an important 2,000-page health care bill without knowing what was in it. The Speaker of the house informed the public that the contents of the bill would be known after the bill was passed. And in another instance those very same leaders gave a standing ovation to a foreign president after he objected to one of our United States enforcing federal law.

With his final breath, Common Sense asked why half the citizens of the United States do not pay ANY income taxes while the other half pays it all.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust, his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers, My Rights and Ima Whiner.

Sadly, not too many people attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

Not sure who to credit this to; it was in the Daily Sun Telegram, San Bernardino Ca. under "Slice of wry",

I thought it was appropriate for these times.

Obama's Broken Promises

Obama promised to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.

(He broke that promise.)

Obama promised to end all earmarks.

(He broke that promise.)

Obama promised to keep unemployment below 8 per cent.

(He broke that promise.)

Obama promised an era of new bipartisan cooperation.

(He broke that promise.)

Obama promised to end all “no compete” contracts with the government.

(He broke that promise.)

Obama promised to disclose the names of all attendees at White House meetings.

(He broke that promise.)

Obama promised to make peace, with direct, no precondition talks, with America’s most hate filled enemies, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.

(He broke that promise, but he did bow to the King of Saudi Arabia.)

Obama promised he would not raise taxes on the middle class.

(He broke that promise in a huge way, with the largest tax increase in American history coming January 1, 2011.)

He passed a health care bill 70 per cent of the American people didn’t want.

He says that he won’t give back the car keys to Republicans
“Because they can’t drive.”

He says we’re on the “Road to Recovery!”

He says, “Uh…ya know…we…(What’s the matter with the teleprompter?) ah…ya know…this is America…all 57 states… You…you…uh huh…George Bush…George Bush…George Washington…clingin’to their guns and religion…I know what it’s like out there…times are tough…Michelle and I had to cut back on a number of things…

(How are things up in Martha’s Vineyard Barry? Was the hotel in Spain up to your standards?)

These days, whenever I see Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Obama; I think of the old Bob Dole quote, “There they are, Hear No Evil, See No Evil, and Evil.”

But you have to remember, it’s George Bush’s fault.

That guy is responsible for everything.

Obama loosely translated means, “no responsibility.”

E-Mail From Service Man In Iraq

Date: Sat, Sep 4, 2010 at 9:13 AM Subject: Fw: Another Lie

Our government is more corrupt than Mexico.

Hey everybody. I just wanted to send a quick update and give Y'all the REAL story on what's going on over here with the troop withdrawal.

The reason I'm sending this out is because I have had a few people ask if I left Iraq early because all of the combat troops are out of Iraq and I wanted to let everyone know the real deal.

It's kind of ridiculous how the news is saying that the last of the "combat" troops are out of Iraq because of Pres Osama ( I mean Obama ). He says that it was his campaign promise.

Take our Brigade for example. We were originally called a HBCT ( Heavy Brigade Combat Team). Well since Obama said he would pull all of the "combat" troops out by August, all they did before we left was change our name from a HBCT to a AAB ( Advise and Assist Brigade ). We have the same personnel/equipment layout as before and are doing the same missions. The ONLY difference is that they changed our name from a HBCT to an AAB and that's how he is getting away with saying that he has pulled all of the "combat" troops out.

It is really ridiculous what he's doing and he has ticked a lot of people off. And it's funny how the media is buying all of it, too. So no the last combat troops are not out of Iraq, we are still here.
There are other Brigades just like ours that are doing the same missions that are still over here.

Sorry for going on about it but we are just sitting over here watching it and are like "You've got to be kidding me!" So anyway now you know the REAL story so that's why I'm not coming back early. You have to watch those liberals, they are sneaky!

Anyways I hope everyone is doing well and I'll see you soon!

Sorry Hunters

People in Waupaca County, Wisconsin have a great sense of humor.
This was taken during the 2009 deer season.

This is HWY K near Ogdensburg, WI

...A deer was hit there.
The couch was dumped there previously.
Day two - the deer was on the couch.
Day three - the end table and lamp showed up.
Day four - the TV and TV stand showed up.

The County Cops had to call the state highway department because of all the people stopping to take pictures.

The cardboard caption in front of the deer on the couch reads:

"Sorry Hunters.
Obama ruined healthcare.
We can't afford to have injured hunters on our conscience,
so I'm staying home! Sorry,
the Deer."
