"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself." The Declaration of Arbroath - April 6th, 1320

O Prince of Peace, we humbly ask
Your protection for all our men and women
In military service.
Give them unflinching
Courage to defend with honor, dignity and
Devotion the rights of all who are imperiled
By injustice and evil. Guard our churches,
Our homes, our schools, our hospitals, our
Factories, our buildings and all those within
From harm and peril.
Protect our land and it’s people from enemies
Within and without.
Grant an early peace with victory founded
Upon justice.
Instill in the hearts and minds
Of men and women everywhere a firm
Purpose to live forever in peace and
Good will toward all.
Amen
from Sister Mary John Seysler at St. Bernards Hospital.

Channel 2 was told the incident began after something happened at lunch to spark a verbal argument between two 6th graders. The verbal argument turned physical and a school resource officer with the Jonesboro Police Department says she had to resort to using a taser.
What this report leaves out is: this 6th grade boy weighs 200 lbs. So, this female resource officer (campus cop) had to taser this 200 lb boy to stop him from assaulting a 6th grade girl.
But the same parents who are now complaining about this officer using a taser on this very big kid, a taser which was used as a last resort to protect another student from assault.These will be the same parents who will complain about the lack of learning at the school.
SURA 9:29
Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

LOS ANGELES Black leaders on Monday
challenged the entertainment industry, including rappers, to stop use
of the racial slur that Michael Richards uttered in his tirade.
"We want to give our ancestors a present," Jackson said at a news conference. "Dignity over degradation."
QUESTIONS for the Rev. Jessie Jackson,
Why have you been silent on the use of the "N-word" by black artists for the last 40 years?
Why do you only complain about its use when a white person uses the term?
Why did you attack Bill Cosby for complaining about the language used by blacks?
When will you lead a boycott of black artist who use the "n-word"?
Rev. Jackson, you and Rev. Sharpton are the two worst racists in this nation. You have campaigned to keep the blacks oppressed.
You demand that all blacks conform to your way of thinking.
You encourage racists assaults on conservative blacks like Michael Steele.
You always demand standards to be lowered to allow more blacks to meet the standard instead of demanding the blacks work harder to meet the higher standard.

if there’s anyone who believes that these youngsters want to fight, as
the Pentagon and some generals have said, you can just forget about it."

Email From France
Once again, the real news in France is conveniently not being reported
as it should. To give you an idea of what's going on in France where
there are now between 5 and 6 million Muslims and about 600,000 Jews.
.....
Nowhere have the flames of anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in
France: In Lyon, a car was rammed into a synagogue and set on fire. In
Montpellier, the Jewish religious center was firebombed; so were
synagogues in Strasbourg and Marseilles; so was a Jewish school in
Creteil - all recently.

COLUMBUS, OH—In what had been touted as a college-football matchup for the ages, the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes defeated the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines 42-39 Sunday in a game that, while exciting, ultimately made no real impact on the football landscape and had no significant effect on the national rankings.
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility - I welcome it.

Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths are. The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

Facts are facts, even if the person who recorded them has committed mass murder.

Beloved Michigan coach will be honored at Ohio State/Michigan game
Bo Schembechler, one of college football's greatest coaches, will be honored with a moment of silence at Saturday's Ohio State/Michigan game.

"This is an extraordinary loss for college football," said Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel. "Bo Schembechler touched the lives of many people and made the game of football better in every way. He will always be both a Buckeye and a Wolverine and our thoughts are with all who grieve his loss."
