We learned, from parents, politicians, school teachers and friends to call them Japs. Many of us learned to hate the very name of our enemy. The American people became one in their unity to defeat the Japanese, Germans and Italians. And, as a unified group, they got it done. A war without mercy got it done. No one stood around telling the rest of America that they lacked pity or compassion. We could not have cared less about what happened to our enemies. We simply, succinctly, wanted them destroyed. We did not care what was "politically correct". That phrase was not invented then. Win or die. That was what was written then. And brave Americans enlisted and were drafted in order to save our country. And it came to pass.

Nowadays, we asked to put up with things like this:http://www.cdt.org/policy/congress-rejects-patriot-act-re-write-modest-improvements-still-possible#4

EAT YOUR WAY TO HELL

Click the header. ******************************** Did you know that the chicken you're about to dig into has never had its feet on the ground? And its very thin shell has never seen a nest? It's modern farming. The big suppliers (and the bigger, the more they practice this) jam chickens into a roost with no chance of them falling nor getting down to walk on the floor. It's called "high density stocking". Meat suppliers do the same with cattle and pigs. I can remember when ranches were rated on how many head to the acre they could handle. Big business says they can make more money by jamming the animals in until they can barely walk around. Additionally, they find it's easier to load them with antibiotics to prevent illness outbreaks. They don't loose many animals to germs that way. By the way, when we ingest that meat, we help to build a resistance to the antibiotics we just might need to save our lives one day. ************************************************************************************ Confinement at high stocking density requires antibiotics and pesticides to mitigate the spread of disease and pestilence exacerbated by these crowded living conditions. In addition, antibiotics are used to stimulate livestock growth by killing intestinal bacteria. Widespread use of antibiotics increases the chance of a pandemic resistant to known measures, which is exacerbated by a globally distributed food system. Decreased genetic diversity increases the chance of a food crisis. "An animal feeding operation is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a lot or facility where animals are kept 45 days of the year or more [and] structures or animal traffic prevents vegetative growth. Note that this is different from a EPA's definition of a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) which is an animal feeding operation larger than a given size." http://www.google.com/search?q=CAFO+&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-ContextMenu&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADBS_en ********************************************************************************* *** The No Bell Peace Prize *** As to Obama and his Nobel prize; the story of Butch the Rooster John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called "pullets" and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize the eggs. The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, and a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to Farmer John's amazement, Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of Butch, he entered him in the Boone County Fair and Butch became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result: The judges not only awarded Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly Butch was a politician in the making: who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention? **********************************************************************************

ONE MORE THING

I meant to include this on my Vet's Day download, but I was not at the peak of my powers.

Sorry.

ARMISTICE DAY, 2009

Click the header. Or else. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The eagle still still soars over our military and the self sacrificing men and women who make up our armed forces. God bless you, every one. When I swore the allegiance oath upon enlisting in the Navy, although many years ago, I remember how the words seemed to stick in my mind, I wondered how they could only be words to some taking the oath. And, yes, I was scared. I had just volunteered to give up my life if it was needed. The oath swearing was very definitely one of the high lights, and stirring events, of my life then. And it remains so today.

KORAN OR QURAN?

This was written by a Canadian woman, but oh, how it also applies to the U.S., U.K. and Australia. THIS ONE PACKS A FIRM PUNCH Here is a woman who should run for Prime Minister! Written by a housewife in New Brunswick , to her local newspaper. This is one ticked off lady. 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 capitol of the USA 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 blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs. I'll care when the Canadian (and American) 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 Canadian 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!!

*********************************************************************************** If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior! If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add: 'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Soldiers don't have that problem.' I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope you forward all this. One last thought for the day: Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ 2. The British Soldier. 3. The Canadian Soldier. 4. The US Soldier, and 5. The Australian Soldier One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.
