| from Glenn Beck Radio Program, October 30, 2007 Say it ain't so, Joe
The old saying 'Yo Joe' is on its way to being a thing of the past. Attempting to make a new movie about the action figure, Paramount is changing G.I. Joe's name to an acronym standing for (not kidding) 'Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity' and making him part of an international force because 'it's a tough sell---American heroes'. Everyone loves an entity, right? Mitchell Paige was the Medal of Honor recipient in WWII for his efforts in the Battle of Guadalcanal on October 26, 1942, where, after all of the other Marines in his platoon were killed or wounded, he operated every working machine gun that he could get to, creating the illusion that there was still a large U.S. fighting force. He single handedly stopped two entire Japanese regiments en route to victory. He chuckled when Hasboro Toys wanted to use his face on an action figure years later, but he gave it the go ahead anyway--under one condition: That G.I. Joe was ALWAYS a United States Marine. Paige died in 2003---nothing like stomping on the grave of a war hero, right Paramount? A shame isn't it? I will not buy hasbro games or toys anymore! | | |

I came across this picture in an e-mail forward. The e-mail talked about our soldiers overseas who are DYING for the lives of the people in that country and this. Now let me ask you a question... When does our Freedom of Speech overstep its' bounds and become treason? I believe it is when you are standing on the street corner thanking God that our fellow countrymen are dying and stating that God's "just punishment" was rained down on 9/11. Look at these two girls, who couldn't be more than 15. ONE IS STANDING ON AN AMERICAN FLAG!!! Traitor is defined as one who commits treason; treason is defined as 1 : the betrayal of a trust ; 2 : the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family. What a shame that people are learning at such a young age to be hateful and treacherous. Luke 11:17 says "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall." I pray fervently that God unite us as a country, otherwise, we will fall, just as the soviet union did. AND THANK GOD FOR THOSE SOLDIERS WHO LAY DOWN THERE LIVES ON A DAILY BASIS SO THAT YOU AND I CAN SAFELY STAND IN THE STREET AND HOLD UP SIGNS STATING OUR OPINIONS, NO MATTER HOW NAIEVE AND HATEFUL THEY MAY BE!!! | | |
| Gabriel went to the Lord and said, "I have to talk to you. We have some Texans up here who are causing problems....
They're swinging on the Pearly Gates, my horn is missing, and they are wearing T-shirts instead of robes. There's barbecue sauce and picante sauce all over everything, especially their T-shirts. Their dogs are riding in the chariots and chasing the sheep. They are wearing baseball caps and cowboy hats instead of their halos."
"They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clean, and their boots are marking and scratching up the halls of Wisdom. There are watermelon seeds and tortilla chip crumbs all over the place. Some of them are walking around with just one wing. And they insist on bringing their horses with them!"
The Lord said, "Texans are Texans, Gabriel. Heaven is home to all of my children. If you want to know about real problems, call the Devil." So Gabriel calls the Devil who answers the phone and says,
"Hello---hold on a minute." When he returns to the phone the Devil says, " O.K., I'm back. What can I do for you?" Gabriel replied, "I just want to know what kind of problems you're having down there with the Texans." The Devil said, "Hold on again. I need to check on something." After about 5 minutes the Devil returned to the phone and said, "I'm back. Now what was the question?"
Gabriel said, "What kind of problems are you having down there with the Texans?" The Devil said, "Man, I don't believe this....hold on." This time the Devil was gone 15 minutes and when he returns he says, "I'm sorry Gabriel, I can't talk right now. Those Texans have put out the fire and are trying to install air conditioning!"
THANKS ANNIE!!
