A Teacher with Courage & Pride
Friday, May 04, 2007 1:52 AM
"A teacher with courage & pride"
In September of 2005, a social studies schoolteacher from Arkansas did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with permission of the school superintendent, the principal, and the building supervisor, she took all of the desks out of the classroom.
The kids came into first period, they walked in; there were no desks. They obviously looked around and said, "Where's our desks?" The teacher said, "You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them."
They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades."
"No," she said.
"Maybe it's our behavior."
And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior."
And so they came and went in the first period, still no desks in the classroom.
Second period, same thing.
Third period.
By early afternoon television news crews had gathered in the class to find out about this
crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of the classroom.
The last period of the day, the instructor gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the floor around the sides of the room. She said, "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the desks that sit in this classroom ordinarily. Now I'm going to tell you."
She went over to the door of her classroom and opened it, and as she did U.S. veterans, wearing their uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows, and then they stood along the wall. By the time they had finished placing the desks, those kids, for the first time I think perhaps, in their lives understood how they earned those desks.
Their teacher said, "You don't have to earn those desks. These guys did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly, to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't ever forget it."

"Friends, I think sometimes we forget that the freedoms that we have are freedoms not because of celebrities. The freedoms are because of ordinary people who did extraordinary things, who loved this country more than life itself, and who not only earned a school desk for a kid at the Robinson High School in Little Rock, but who earned a seat for you and me to enjoy this great land we call home, this wonderful nation that we better love enough to protect and preserve with the kind of conservative, solid values and principles that made us a great nation."

Rules of Texas (or Texas RULES!)
Tuesday, March 27, 2007 7:01 AM
More dead-on wisdom from my Mom:
Rules of Texas:
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
3. They are cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.
4. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.
8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
9. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Picante Sauce!! Oh, yeah....We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat...IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio ..and real chili never met a bean!
12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
13. College and High School Football are as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch .
14. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.
15. Colleges? Try Texas A&M, University of Texas, TCU or Texas Tech . They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays.
16. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, than any other state, so "Don't Mess with Texas," If you do, you will get whupped by the best.
17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said:
" Texas can make it without the United States , but the United States can't make it without Texas !"
Texas is the greatest state ever!! If you are from Texas you are one bad hombre!!! If you do not share this with someone in the next 10 min. you are not a true Texan!!!!!!

FBI file links Kennedy to Monroe's death

OK, Ok, OK - I realize it has been a long time since I posted...
The "Muse" was AWOL, but has since been returned to its place of servitude once again....
Check out the article on the Drudge Report titled FBI file links Kennedy to Monroe's death. Conspiracy? No...
Also, a good time was had by all at the Gathering of Eagles counter-protest rally today in Washington, DC. This rally was held to counter the rally attended by the fundamentalist lefty Soros crowd and including the nuisance wackjob Cindy Sheehan.
For a fantastic (as always) write-up on the resounding success of the counter-protest, checkout the article titled Blogburst: Gathering of Eagles by the extremely brilliant AND always hot Michelle Malkin.
Also, now that the firestorm over Ann Coulter's colorful description of John Edwards ("faggot") has abated somewhat, "Barry" Obama had the brass to call him "cute".
I guess it fits, as the great man himself, Rush Limbaugh has been calling him "the Breck Girl" for ages...
Nevermind that the lefties have been calling Christians (& conservatives in general) "Nazis" for years without so much as a raised eye-brow by the media....

Dems Doubt Evidence Iran Is Arming Terrorists in Iraq
Lets see,
- Our own military officials in Iraq are basing this on intel on the ground in Iraq:
This intel was attained during the arrest of five Iranian spies in Irbil, including Mohsin Chizari, an Iranian Revolutionary Guard ops boss that reports directly to Iran's "Supreme Leader".
Yet it STILL isn't good enough for Nancy "757" Pelosi, and John "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." Kerry, ranking members of the majority party in Congress.
They actually still think we should "dialog" with the Iranian regime controlled by President Ahmadinejad.
This is the same anti-Semitic President Ahmadinejad who still denies the Holocaust and calls for Israel to be "wiped off the map. ...

From Danny C in San Antonio, & dead-on as usual!:
Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately; illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, wild animals attacking humans in Florida.
Not me. I concentrate on solutions to problems. The result is a win-win-win situation:
+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border
+ Use the dirt to raise the levies in New Orleans
+ Put the Florida alligators in the moat.
Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?

The current Dem talent exposed....
Tuesday, February 06, 2007 8:07 AM
From Billy M (& you KNOW who you are...) in San Antone: The current Dem talent exposed....
I bought a new Lexus and returned to the dealer the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.
"Nelson," the salesman said to the radio. The Radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?" "Willie!" he continued and "On The Road Again" came from the speakers.
Then he said, "Ray Charles!", and in an instant "Georgia On My Mind" replaced Willie Nelson. I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, "Beethoven," I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said, "Beatles," I'd get one of their awesome songs.
Yesterday, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car, but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, "A@!Holes!"
Immediately the French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on scotch.
Dang, I LOVE this car!

From: Norm D
Subject: A Letter From An American Airlines Pilot
The only problem with this is we also need the LIBERAL DEMOCRATS to get their heads out of the hole that they have it in. You never see letters to the editors from them either, if you do its complaining about President Bush or about the Patriot act.
It is the COMMUNIST ACLU that LIBERAL bastion that is protecting them from being profiled. Instead we are searching real patriots and grandmothers in our airports.
In Monday's Mining Journal(Feb.
12) there is a letter from a person from Marquette comparing Bush and Chavez. By his letter it is easy to see where his head is buried. He is complaining about the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Bill and the NSA Wiretapping Bill pushed through Congress by the BUSH REGIME.
The BUSH REGIME...
Does this sound like somebody trying to protect us. No! This is the hated for this country by one of the Liberals who say "why can't we just get along, lets hold hands and sing Kum-Bi-Ya," but he probably doesn't believe in the LORD either.
I would also bet that he has never, ever done anything to protect this country. But I bet that he is one of the people out there protesting our being in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is probably one of the bloodsuckers in this country trying to get all he can from it but giving or doing nothing in return. He is very lucky that this former MARINE is not president because I would have him hauled kicking and screaming from Marquette and I would ship him to Venezuela and make him stay over there and live with Chavez. And I would also take the prisoners from Cuba and give one each to all the people complaining about our treatment of them and make them watch them. If they ever did anything then they would be held responsible. People the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Schumer, Levin, Reid, Clinton, the RINO Republicans (Snow) and a few others. I would also free the border guards that are in prison for protecting this country and shooting a drug dealer in the place where the LIBERALS have their heads.
I would also put MARINES and SOLDIERS on the border with machine guns and then we wouldn't have prisons full of illegal's. Then we would hear some screaming. And the man from Marquette has the audacity to think that Bush is a dictator, he can just thank his lucky stars or whomever that he thanks (probably the COMMUNIST ACLU) that he doesn't have me as president.

Subject: Profiling From a Pilot's Point of View
This is the most profound, most insightful message to Muslims I've seen.
I think it should be read on Fox, sent to the President, and forwarded to any other form of media to express what so many of us feel toward the Muslims!
The paper stated today that some Muslim doctor is saying we are profiling him because he has been checked three times while getting on an airplane.
(A Letter From An American Airlines Pilot)
This well spoken man, who is a pilot with American Airlines, says what is in his heart beautifully.
... read, absorb and pass on.... it's time to get answers from those who claim their terrorist members do not represent them.. Why are their leaders not LOUDLY, FIERCELY AND CONTINUOUSLY condemning their visible murderous brethren.
YOU WORRY ME
"I've been trying to say this since 9-11 but you worry me. I wish you didn't. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country. But you don't blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries me.
I notice you because I can't help it anymore. People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now. I don't fully understand their grievances and hate but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.
On September 11, nineteen ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children's mothers.
The Palestinians Celebrated, The Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the Arab world. So I notice you now. I don't want to be worried. I don't want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and prejudice that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists. But I need your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.
How do I differentiate between the true Arab/Muslim- Americans and the Arab/Muslims in our communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the protection of OUR constitution, while they plot the next attack that will slaughter these same good neighbors and children?
The events of September 11th changed the answer. It is not my responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its faults. It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to determine it for me.
I want to know, and I have a right to know whether or not you love America . Do you pledge allegiance to its flag? Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do you pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation, that He will protect and prosper it? Or do you pray that Allah with destroy it in one of your "Jihads"? Are you thankful for the freedom that only this nation affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for this country? Are you willing to preserve this freedom by paying the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love America ? If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it.
Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media at this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions you are takingas a community and as a religion to protect the United States of America.
Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the innocent because I worry about who you regard as innocent. No more benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks because I worry about what is unprovoked to you. I am not interested in any more sympathy. I am only interested in action.
What will you do for America - our great country -- at this time of crisis, at this time of war?
I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets. I want to hear you chanting "Allah Bless America " I want to see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a commitment of money, time, and emotion to the victims of this butchering and to this nation as a whole. The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to regarding the WTC attack. Many of these people live and socialize in Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are.
Hand them over to our government, now! But I have seen little even approaching this sort of action.
Instead I have seen an already closed and secretive community close even ighter. You have disappeared from the streets. You have posted armed security guards at your facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed for protection from reprisals.
The very few Arab/Muslim representatives that HAVE appeared in the media were defensive and equivocating. They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United States proves who was responsible before taking action. They seemed more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed towards them in the United States and abroad than they did with supporting our country and denouncing "leaders" like Khadafi, Hussein, Farrakhan, and Arafat.
If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and love for all people then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up. What good is it if the teachings in the Koran are good and pure and true when your "leaders" are teaching fanatical interpretations, terrorism, and intolerance?
It matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if large numbers of the world's Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere to a degenerative form of the religion. A form that has been demonstrated to us over and over again. A form whose structure is built upon a foundation of violence, death, and suicide. A form whose members are recruited from the prisons around the world. A form whose members (some as young as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week out, year after year, marching in the streets around the world, burning effigies of our presidents, burning the American flag, shooting weapons into the air. A form whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms against the great United States of America, the country of their birth. A form whose rules are so twisted, that their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name of Islam.
Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us because our women proudly show their faces in public rather than cover up like a shameful whore? Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us because we drink wine with dinner, or celebrate Christmas? Do you and you fellow Muslims hate us because we have befriended Israel , the ONLY FRIENDLY CIVILIZED SOCIETY in the Muslim/Arab area, that thinks and acts like most Americans.
And if you and your fellow Muslims hate us, then why in the world are you even here? Are you here to take our money? Are you here to undermine our peace and stability? Are you here to destroy us? If so, I want you to leave. I want you to go back to your desert sandpit where women are treated like rats and dogs. I want you to take your religion, your friends, and your family back to your Islamic extremists, and STAY THERE! We will NEVER give in to your influence, your retarded mentality, your twisted, violent, intolerant religion.
We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others for that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us: Our rights under the greatest constitution in the world. I want to know where every Arab/Muslim in this country stands and I think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this country to demand it. A right paid for by the blood of thousands of my brothers and sisters who died protecting the very constitution that is protecting you and your family. I want you here as my brother , my neighbor, my friend, as a fellow American. But there can be no gray areas or ambivalence regarding your allegiance and it is up to YOU, to show ME, where YOU stand." "Until then .. you worry me"

If you are like me & get the occasional traffic ticket, check out the site below....
ClickitAway.com
I found the content to be interesting & to the point. The course is delivered via both text & video, and you can leave the audio on or mute & read the content yourself.
The course takes around 6 hours plus a few breaks. You can go back & review the material you have already covered at any time. You also have three attempts at the exam (but believe me, you will only need one....).
The exam is a simple 20 item test with common sense questions and straightforward answers. None of the usual ambiguous questions that leave you wondering when they mentioned the info during the course.
You have up to 90 days to complete the course (Yep, you can even stop & restart the course at your convenience!) and the price is right ($29.95).
Trust me, this beats the Blockbuster video method and most classroom taught courses, hands down.

"A New Direction For America"
Friday, January 19, 2007 7:55 AM
This note from my friend Jim (& his wife Jill) in Houston REALLY nails it!!
>
>
>
The Democrats now promise "A New Direction For America".
The stock market is at a new all-time high and America's 401K's are back. A new direction from there means, what?
Unemployment is at 25 year lows. A new direction from there means, what?
Oil prices are plummeting. A new direction from there means, what?
Taxes are at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means, what?
Federal tax revenues are at all-time highs. A new direction from there means, what?
The Federal deficit is down almost 50%, just as predicted over last year. A new direction from there means. what?
Home valuations are up 200% over the past 3.5 years. A new direction from there means, what?
Inflation is in check, hovering at 20 year lows. A new direction from there means, what?
Not a single terrorist attack on US soil since
9/11/01. A new direction from there means, what?
Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he's alive at all, while 95% of Al Queda's top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel. A new direction from there means, what?
Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel, including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks. A new direction from there means, what?
Just as President Bush foretold us on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made "ground zero" for the war on terrorism -- and just as President Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are arriving from the shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here. A new direction from there means, what?
Now let me see, do I have this right? I can expect:
The economy to go south,
Illegals to go north,
Taxes to go up,
Employment to go down,
Terrorism to come in,
Tax breaks to go out,
Social Security to go away,
And health Care to go the same way gas prices have gone…
But what the heck !
I can gain comfort by knowing that Nancy P, Hillory C, John K, Edward K, Howard D, Harry R and Obama have worked hard to create a comprehensive National Security Plan, Health Care Plan, Immigration Reform Plan, Gay Rights Plan, Same Sex Marriage Plan, Abortion On Demand Plan, Tolerance of Everyone and Everything Plan, How to Return all Troops to the U. S. in The Next Six Months Plan, A Get Tough Plan, adapted from the French Plan by the same name and a How Everyone Can Become as Wealthy as We Are Plan. I forgot the No More Katrina Storm Plan.
Now I know why I feel good after the elections. I am going to be able to sleep so much better at nights knowing these dedicated politicians are thinking of me and my welfare.

How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one. Pass this on to your members and friends! This is a great site.
Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a second.

We are still laughing over here in Iraq at your joke about the troops being dumb. We do recognize that you are a lot smarter than we are because you were able to get out of combat in three months. This is why we are seeking your advice. Please give us guidance.
1.) Where is the least painful area on the body to inflict a wound?
2.) Does it have to bleed or will a scratch do?
3.) Where do you get the forms to fill out recommending yourself for a Purple Heart?
4.) Do you need a witness? If so, how much does that cost?
5.) Are three Purple Hearts still good for a trip home?
6.) What is a realistic period of time in which to acquire these wounds? Less than three months sounds a little suspicious even to us.
Thanks for your help and keep the jokes coming.
Just a dumb g.i.
P.s....what advice can you give me on how to meet really rich women?
The Dems method to fix the North Korean crisis - nothing has changed but the names of the "leaders"...

Consider Nancy Pelosi & Howard Reid dealing with national security... Nothing has changed but the names of the "leaders"... same attitudes toward our enemies. My guess is that the Dems method to fix the North Korean crisis won't have changed much since the "Glory Days" of the Clinton White House.
Observe the following video & tell me if you think anything has changed.....

Whatever It Takes....

SNIP>> This comes from my other Blog awhile back - "The Hangin' Tree".
To me all issues affecting the US of A hinge on the main issue – the national security & welfare of this great nation. Without a secure homeland, the other issues are meaningless.
"Torture"
How we treat our enemy combatants or “political prisoners” (whatever.) is secondary to finding the way to stop a bomb from going off in a US city (or a city of one our allies), and especially secondary to the safety of our soldiers in the line of duty.
In my humble opinion, if the enemy combatant's fingernails (or finger) have to come off, to obtain information that may save a hundred thousand or only a measly hundred people, so be it.
God forbid I am ever in that person’s shoes, but if it did happen to me, in the immortal words of Mel Gibson (as the character Martin Riggs in the movie Lethal Weapon):
"Guess we're in for a long night, 'cause I don't know s***.")

Kofi Annan is bashing the President - That's Rich....

Kofi Annan is bashing the President - that's rich.
Here is the man who has repeatedly quashed the bribery/corruption investigation of his own administration, especially as it reached his very door step, and that of his son Kojo.
You could say that Kofi Annan has violated at least three of his own "essential principles", you know: collective responsibility (Was he talking about the UN under his administration?), global solidarity (if you want nothing to happen), rule of law (Huh?), mutual accountability (What about the investigation into his son's business dealings that he put the kabash on?) and multilateralism (Yeah, like most of the Arab world working to support terrorism.)
Under Kofi's watch, the The UN has certainly lived up to the nickname someone recently assigned to it, i.e. The "Useless Nations".
See Ya Kofi, don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family.....
Thursday, November 30, 2006
Here is a quick note on the subject from my friend Danny C in San Antonio.
He says it best:
I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.
I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.
So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms need to be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with the V.P
