THE LAW IS THE LAW

One of the better e-mails I have received in a long time, I really love this one . . . These are definitely things I never thought about but from now on, I will be sure to question those in government who support these changes. . . .


THE LAW IS THE LAW

So Be It!


SO . . .

"if" the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "In God We Trust" to be on our money, then so be it . . .






. . . and "if" the government decides that the Pledge of Allegiance cannot be said in school because of the words "One Nation, Under God," then so be it . . .






. . . and "if" that same government decides that the Ten Commandments are not to be used in or on a government installation, then so be it . . .






I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen.

I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.






I would like to think that those people have the American public's best interests at heart.


BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?

Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe the Government and its employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our Government is eliminating from many facets of American life.

Therefore, I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday,Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day . . .

I'd like the US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays. After all, it's just another day.






I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the 'Christmas Break.' After all it's just another day.






I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be 'politically correct.'






IN FACT . . .


I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God . . . ) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day . . .


WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?

If this idea gets around to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the 'minority opinions' of the Politically Correct crowd and begin, once again, to represent the 'Majority' of ALL of the American people.

SO BE IT ! ! !


Please Dear Lord,

Give us the help needed to keep you in our country!

'Amen!'

SUN TZU on SPIES and SECRET AGENTS


Sun Tzu deals with employment and use of spies in Art of War, Chapter XIII:

“Be subtle! be subtle! And use your spies for every kind of warfare.”

“(On) the use of spies . . . there are five classes: Local spies; Inward spies; Converted spies; Doomed spies; Surviving spies . . . . . . Inward spies (are) making use of officials of the enemy.”


The battle for votes that was fought by ACORN in city streets last summer and by lawyers in Minnesota this spring is in its final phase in the halls of the Capitol. The leaders of the Democratic Party fought skillfully, and are now in full control of the remaining branches of government. Battle lines are drawn in the U.S. Senate, where votes are counted on the fingers of one hand.

Despite the massive tax-and-spend bills that were ramroded through Congress without having been read, pundits now say the "cap-and-trade" climate change and healthcare bills are too extreme to pass, and will be shot down in the Senate. The reality is the contest is too close to call. The question is not will the bills pass - I'm afraid they will - but just how far Team Obama is willing to go to achieve their aims. The Chicago political steamroller has come this far – why should they let a few U.S. Senators stand in their way?

The Art and Science of politics was written by Machiavelli. Illicit sex and drugs flow like milk and honey in Washington D.C; just think how easy it could be to ensnare a U.S. Senator in a blackmail scheme, thereby securing their vote on a critical issue.

Any politician must be constantly on guard against his own moral weaknesses, lest agents of the opposition take advantage of them. Succumbing to temptation even once makes a political figure vulnerable to compromise. In many cases, careful surveillance alone is enough to compromise an individual.

The Senator thus entrapped has the option of maintaining his privileged position as long as he votes a certain way on a few critical bills. The alternative is political ruin - resignation in disgrace or defeat at the next general election, to be followed by divorce and financial ruin.

The list of politicians disgraced by recent sex scandals is lengthy. Of course blackmail is illegal; so is stuffing ballot boxes. But don't expect to read anything like this in the press; they are willing accomplices. Consider how John Edward's affair was ignored by all except the National Enquirer (!); yet any Republican Senator's transgression is breaking news.
