I have on occasion, forwarded e-mails that I receive from different people because of the nature of its context. Whether it be political to patriotic, religious to ridiculous. I have decided to start posting here as well, instead of just forwarding, to keep from filling ones inbox/trash bin with stuff that you may or may not even read. I enjoy reading these e-mails so if you have sent them in the past, please continue to do so.

I must also add that while I can identify with almost all of these posts, I do not adhere to every comment made in every single example nor can I speak for the authenticity of the post.

Thanks and Have a great one!

'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001 and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from the nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?


And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.


I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11


I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan ...

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.


I'll care when the mindless zealots who blows themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.


I'll care when the United States media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.


In the meantime, when I hear a story about a American soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:

I don't care.


When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:

I don't care.


When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and 'fed special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:

I don't care.


And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it 's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn you guessed it,

I don't care!!

Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of theothers, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy Leagueeducation and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs ofsupport.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
growing upin America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don'tunderstand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself withradical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce theseradicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America 'crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style countrywhere the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with agovernment controlled one. You scare me because you prefer "wind mills" to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you onyour wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposingpoints of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent andomniscient. You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys,O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Lou Pritchett

When in England, at a fairly large conference, Condi Rice was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building' by George Bush.
She answered by saying,
'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond Our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return Is enough to bury those that did not return.'

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying
'Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?'
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: 'Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people.They are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities.They have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day.They can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships.
How many does France have?'

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U..S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with
a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that,
whereas Europeans learn many languages,
Americans learn only English.' He then asked,
'Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather
than speaking French?'
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied 'Maybe it's because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German.'

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE
ABOVE...

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. 'You have been to France before, monsieur?' the customs officer asked sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. 'Then you should
know enough to have your passport ready.' The American said, ''The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it. 'Impossible, Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !' The American
senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen
to show a passport to.'
