Got this email today that I thought was rather humerous! Laughing

Why are we still there?

Every day there are news reports about more deaths.
Every night on TV there are photos of death and destruction. Why are we still there?

We occupied this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?

Many of our children go there and never come back. Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and they have loopy leadership. Why are we still there?

Many of their people are uncivilized. Why are we still there?

The place is subject to natural disasters, which we are supposed to bail them out of. Why are we still there?

There are more than 1000 religious sects, which we do not understand. Why are we still there?

Their folkways, foods and fads are unfathomable to ordinary Americans. Why are we still there?

We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there?

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost billions more to rebuild, which we can't afford. Why are we still there?

It is becoming clear ... WE MUST PULL OUT OF California

I escaped from LA in 2000 and I asked my fellow Americans who stayed behind (2 or three I can't remember exactly how many were left.), "Would the last one of you out of LA please remember to bring the flag."

Statistics:

There have been an average of 160,000 troops in theater (IRAQ) during
the last 22 months; which has a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000.

That means that you are 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the
Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws inthe nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington,

A Two for... we need to actually sanitize washington.. and reclaim our judicial system, senate and congress, among many other offices.

I just LOVE what they are doing in NH to let that SCt. Justice get a tase of his decision by claiming his home as eminent domain to build a "Lost Liberty" hotel..

Thats the American Spirit.. when your attacked, fight back..

Amen! And that "Supreme Justice" development project has been met with offers of everything from funding to videos to architectural design to construction!

I think everyone in the country can come together on this one - enough to "legally steal" property from every one of the justices who voted with the majority on this issue and every one of the Congressmen who supported them since.

"Just Desserts!" Sooooooo sweet and still calorie-free! Twisted Evil

Sadly, they couldn't. The jerkoffs had already burned it.

Just another inmate in Asylum California. You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave......

Well at least I saved my flag that flew over the Arizona on the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. One flag did make it out.
