A Potpourri Day
In the meantime, that doesn't stop a lot of good stuff coming across her desk and emails. With that in mind, here's a mix for the day:
For our global whining friends (Courtesy of Liberty Card): The Global Warming Test (Miss Beth scored 8 out of 10): http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/GlobWarmTest/start.html
Word to the wise though--the test is based on science, not hysteria.

Here's a definition of Political Correctness, also provided by Libery Card:
Occasionally someone hits the nail straight on the head! Following is the winning entry from an annual contest calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year's term: PoliticalCorrectness.
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Here's a definition of Islam from MDVP at Forest Opine:
“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar [i.e., Muhammad] the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius with the preternatural energy of a fanatic and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth.
Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law the doctrine of one omnipotent God, he connected indissolubly with it the audacious falsehood that he was himself his prophet and apostle.
Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus the faith and hope of immortal life and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain by degrading the condition of the female sex and the allowance of polygamy and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind.
THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE (Adam's capital letters)...Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant…While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth and good will towards men.”-Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam.

A joke from Dean:
This was written by a black gentleman in Texas and is so funny. What a great sense of humor and creativity!!!
"When I was born, I was BLACK; when I grew up, I was BLACK; when I went in the sun, I stayed BLACK; when I got cold, I was BLACK; when I was scared, I was BLACK: when I was sick, I was BLACK and when I die, I'll still be BLACK.
NOW, You "white" folks...
When you're born, you're PINK; when you grow-up, you're WHITE; when you go in the sun, you get RED; when you're cold, you turn BLUE; when you're scared, you're YELLOW; when you get sick, you're GREEN; when you bruise, you turn PURPLE and when you die, you look GRAY.
So who y'all callin' C OL OR ED folks?

And some wisdom from Angel:
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad ."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?
Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have. Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends! Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation. "
Life is too short and friends are too few." Sphere: Related Content
