Nobody Gets Email: To Honor and To Guard

Nobody Gets Email
This was something I bet not many people outside of Santa Barbara know about. I know I didn’t. It makes you really appreciate the men and women who serve the country, past, and present. It also reminds you that there are really just evil people out there trying to control free people from expressing their thanks to those soldeirs who died in battle. God bless these vets.

 Santa Barbara:
The first picture and the last picture are taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the pier.

There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan. The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends. They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend.

Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it.
Every cross has the name, rank and D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it.
Very moving, very powerful—so many young volunteers. So many 30 to 40 year olds as well.

Amazing!

Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed? And that they filed another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They’re making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus’ name in prayer thanks to the ACLU and our new administration.

Prayer:
‘Heavenly Father, hold our troops in Your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in this our time of need. These things I humbly ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Amen.’

Nobody’s Perfect: Obama VS James Taylor

Nobody’s Perfect

This week, we have Obama VS James Taylor, a homeless man who was arrested in Florida for getting just a little bit too rowdy after forgetting just how many beers he’s had. Let’s just say, he lost count somewhere between 1 and 45.
HUDSON, Florida (AP) — A man told Pasco County Sheriff’s deputies he had about 10 beers too many as he celebrated his birthday. Fifty-eight-year-old James Taylor says he drank 48 beers on Thursday evening, prompting a stern lecture from a deputy for causing a disturbance at Hudson Beach.
Yes, James Taylor, who is actually better looking than the original so one can only hope he’s not related, got his name on the national news for having a little too much to drink on his birthday.
I know the feeling—it was my birthday yesterday, and I got so tipsy on one Bahama Mama, that I went out and bought a fake Christmas Palm Tree with Christmas lights on it, as a present to myself, just because I have to annoy my neighbors somehow.

Rum will do that to you. I didn’t have a beach, so I got the next best thing. I now have my own Corona Ad in my Library. Next year, I’ll put in a little kiddie pool.

(Reader wonders: Is she sober yet?)
 ***
And then, there’s the one man who has the highest running quotient of not being perfect, in fact, this time, we can assume he will never get to that status.
***
Ever.
 ***
Since Obama started bombing Libya, most of the nation are crying, “foul” because he never got permission from Congress. Some at the Pentagon are insisting that he is going against the Constitution.
 ***
To which he said, “Well, I had ten beers too many.”
 ***
Okay, he didn’t say that. But he got his lawyers to say this:
White House counsel, Robert Bauer, and the State Department legal adviser, Harold H. Koh — who argued that the United States military’s activities fell short of “hostilities.” Under that view, Mr. Obama needed no permission from Congress to continue the mission unchanged.
As you can see from the bombing pictures taken in Libya, a bomb is not hostile. It will kill you, but in NO WAY is it hostile.
 ***
Good to know that the winner this week in the   Nobody’s Perfect contest is, once again, our President, who unfortunately, will not be walking on the beach in Hudson Florida, any time soon, but what’s stopping Congress?
 ***
Nobody would love it more, than to see the entire Democratic Members of Congress getting arrested for drinking too many beers on Hudson Beach. After all, if you’re going to be worthless, you might as well get drunk and get out of the way. I suggest…ten Bahama Mama’s, a life jacket, and James Taylor on the IPod. Maybe if I can get them all drunk enough, they’ll follow me into the ocean.

Did I just say that? How many beers is that? I’m ten over?
