mined to make America over into a Marxist

search. 

The last paragraph is not yet cast in stone.  You
and I will write that paragraph.  Will it read as
above or will it be a more happy ending for most
of America?  Personally I like happy endings.

If you are an Obama Supporter, please do not be angry with me because I think your president is a socialist but there are too many facts supporting this.  If you seek the truth you will be richer for it.  Don't just belittle the opposition.  Search for the truth.  I did.  Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalist, Libertarians and what have you, we all need to pull together.  We all must pull together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and cherish.  If you are a religious person, pray for our nation.









Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy.  Don't rely on most television news and what you read in the newspapers for the truth.  Search the internet.  Yes, there is a lot of bad information, lies and distortions there too but you are smart enough to spot the fallacies.  Newspapers are a dying breed.  They are currently seeking a bailout from the government.  Do you really think they are about to print the truth?  Obama praises all the television news networks except Fox who he has waged war against.  There must be a reason.  He does not call them down on any specifics, just a general battle against them.  If they lie, he should

call them out on it but he doesn't.  Please, find the truth, it will set you free.


Our biggest enemy is not China , Russia , Iran ; no, our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC .

Religious Demonstration in England



What is it that the American people do not understand about the crisis our country and the
world faces..........Is it possible we have become a nation of cowards.......... That I cannot imagine
but wake up and prove that our invincible spirit and our freedom is not dead.......It is
terribly late but at this point we have no other choice........Our country has never faced
such a deadly enemy externally-- but while we were sleeping that enemy has successfully taken over our government while many are still in denial....... Yes-- It can happen here.........


Pictures are from 2006

These pictures are of Muslims marching through the streets of London during their recent Religion of Peace Demonstration.

Subject: PICTURES FROM LONDON ....THIS IS BEYOND SCARY

View the pictures below and decide how
you really feel about the future of the
Western World. These pictures are of
Muslims marching through the
STREETS OF LONDON during their
'Religion of Peace Demonstration.'












Makes you wonder doesn't it...can you imagine having a
Christian demonstration against Islam in downtown Baghdad?







Why would anyone think that we should be at war with such nice,
peaceful Muslims?!
You need to forward this one to everyone! These pictures tell it all!
Muslims have stated that England will be the first country they
take over!
These are pictures not shown on American TV or in American Newspapers
, but were forwarded by a Canadian who thought All non muslims ought
to know!



A must see picture!‏

Folks we need to forward this to everyone we know to get the word out about these people that are being paid by our tax dollars.

Nothing else needs to be said. This is one of their THREE DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for. I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms. No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two... he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

These are the folks that can't get the budget out by Oct. 1, Seriously!!!

So, we’ve got a 30 day budget extension. Well, guess what, 30 days from now we will be in the same boat. I guess this makes it easy for the news ‘reporters’ as all they have to do is recycle the same headlines from this week and from 2 years ago. And these yo-yo’s will still be playing SOLITAIRE!!!

95 Year Old WWII Battleship Sailor Tells OBAMA to "Shape Up or Ship Out!"‏

The following article has tried to been verified. It is too New and no comment other than Unverified and Research Underway.




WW II Battleship sailor tells Obama to shape up or ship out !

This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now. He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to the president.

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.

So here goes.

I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.

I can't figure out what country you are the president of.

You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:

"We're no longer a Christian nation"

" America is arrogant" - Your wife even announced to the world ," America is mean- spirited. "Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.

I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals."

Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.

Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man.

Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue . You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.

And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.

You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.

You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.

And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,

Harold B. Estes

When a 95 year old hero of the "the Greatest Generation" stands up and speaks out like this, I think we owe it to him to send his words to as many Americans as we can. Please pass it on.

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

Lisbon Graduates Awarded Advanced Placement Scholar Awards‏

Lisbon - Four students at Lisbon High School have earned Advanced Placement Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP Exams.



Megan Samson


Cam Bubar


Morgan Hatherley


Kayla Carr


The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program (AP) provides motivated and academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams. Approximately 18 percent of the nearly 1.7 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award.

The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP Exams. At Lisbon High School three students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Exams with grades of 3 or higher. The AP Scholars are Cameron Bubar, son of Mary Beth Koza and Marc Bubar of Lisbon Falls; Kayla Carr, daughter Ron and Pauline Carr of Lisbon Falls; and Morgan Hatherley, daughter of Sue Hatherley of Lisbon. Cameron Bubar will be attending Northeastern University this spring. Kayla Carr is currently studying at the University of New England and Morgan Hatherley has begun her postsecondary studies at St. Joseph’s College of Maine.

One student qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. The AP Scholar with Honor Award student is Megan Samson, daughter of Scott and Barbara Samson of Lisbon Falls. Megan is currently a freshman at Bowdoin College.

Through more than 30 different college-level courses and exams, AP provides motivated and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit or advanced placement and stand out in the college admissions process. Each exam is developed by a committee of college and university faculty and AP teachers, ensuring that AP exams are aligned with the same high standards expected by college faculty at some of the nation’s leading liberal arts and research institutions. More than 3,600 colleges and universities annually receive AP grades. Over 90 percent of four-year colleges in the United States provide credit and/or placement for qualifying exam grades. Research consistently shows that AP students who score a 3 or higher on AP Exams (based on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest) typically experience greater academic success in college and higher graduation rates than students who do not participate in AP.

The College Board is a not-for-profit membership organization whose mission is to connect students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the association is composed of more than 5,600 schools, colleges, universities and other educational organizations. Each year, the College Board serves seven million students and their parents, 23,000 high schools, and 3,800 colleges through major programs and services in college readiness, college admissions, guidance, assessment, financial aid, enrollment, and teaching and learning. Among its best-known programs are the SAT, the PSAT/NMSQT, and the Advanced Placement Program (AP). The College Board is committed to the principles of excellence and equity, and that commitment is embodied in all of its programs, services, activities, and concerns.

The Importance of Christmas Cards

Hey Norm, this one's for you!!!






What a clever idea!
Yes,
Christmas cards. This is coming early so that you can get ready to include an important address to your list.

Want to have some fun this
CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this year.

As they are working so very hard to get rid of the
CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world..

Make sure it says
"Merry Christmas" on it.

Here's the address, please
don't be rude or crude:
ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York , NY 10004


Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions. So spend 44 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a " Holiday Tree". . . It's always been called a CHRISTMAS TREE!

And pass this on to your email lists. We really want to communicate this message to the

ACLU!!!

For those of you who aren't aware of them, the ACLU, (the American Civil Liberties Union) is the one suing the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas or anything Christian away from us. They represent the atheists and others in this war. Help put Christ back in Christmas!

Extraordinary Musical Instrument




Read before playing! Its amazing.

Read this first, then watch.
Turn your sound on for this.!!!
This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in
catcher cones.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort
between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick
School of Engineering at the University of Iowa .. Amazingly, 97% of the
machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation
Equipment of Bancroft, Iowa ......Yes, farm equipment!

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment,
calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can
see it was WELL worth the effort.

>> It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the
>> University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.
