How many zeros in a billion?

How many zeros in  a billion? 
 
This  is too true to be funny. 

The  next time you hear a politician use the
word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think  about
whether you  want the ‘politicians’ spending

Washington, DC

What  the heck happened????? 

Not one of these taxes  existed 100 years ago…
and our nation was the most prosperous in  the world.We had absolutely no national debt…
We had the  largest middle class in the world…
and Mom stayed home to raise  the kids.
What happened?
Can you spell ‘politicians!’

And I still have to press ‘1′ for English. 
I hope this goes around the  USA at  least 100 times 
YOUR tax money.

THE LETTER

THE LETTER

Ruth went to her mail box and there was only one letter. She picked it up
and looked at it before opening, but then she looked at the envelope again.
There was no stamp, no postmark, only her name and address.

She read the letter:

Dear Ruth,

I’m going to be in your neighborhood Saturday afternoon and I’d like to stop
by for a visit.

Love Always,
Jesus

Her hands were shaking as she placed the letter on the table. “Why would
the Lord want to visit me? I’m nobody special. I don’t have anything to
offer.” With that thought, Ruth remembered her empty kitchen cabinets.

“Oh my goodness, I really don’t have anything to offer. I’ll have to run
down to the store and buy something for dinner.” She reached for her purse
and counted out its contents. Five dollars and forty cents.

“Well, I can get some bread and cold cuts, at least.” She threw on her coat
and hurried out the doo r. A loaf of french bread, a half-pound of sliced
turkey, and a carton of milk…leaving Ruth with grand total of twelve cents
to last her until Monday. Nonetheless, she felt good as she headed home, her
meager offerings tucked under her arm.

“Hey lady, can you help us, lady?” Ruth had been so absorbed in her dinner
plans, she hadn’t even noticed two figures huddled in the alleyway. A man
and a woman, both of them dressed in little more than rags.

“Look lady, I ain’t got a job, ya know, and my wife and I have been living
out here on the street, and, well, now it’s getting cold and we’re getting
kinda hungry and, well, if you could help us, lady, we’d really appreciate
it.”

Ruth looked at them both. They were dirty, they smelled bad and, frankly,
she was certain that they could get some kind of work if they really wanted
to.

“Sir, I’d like to help you, but I’m a poor woman myself. All I have is a few
cold cuts and some bread, and I’m having an important guest for dinner
tonight and I was planning on serving that to Him.”

“Yeah, well, okay lady, I understand. Thanks anyway.” The man put his arm
around the woman’s shoulders, turned and headed back into the alley. As she
watched them leave, Ruth felt a familiar twinge in her heart.

“Sir, wait!” The couple stopped and turned as she ran down the alley after
them. “Look, why don’t you take this food. I’ll figure out something else to
serve my guest.” She handed the man her grocery bag.

“Thank you lady. Thank you very much!”

“Yes, thank you!” It was the man’s wife, and Ruth could see now that she was
shivering.

“You know, I’ve got another coat at home. Here, why don’t you take this
one.” Ruth unbuttoned her jacket and slipped it over the woman’s
shoulders.

Then smiling, she turned and walked back to the street…without her coat
and with nothing to serve her guest. “Thank you lady! Thank you very much!”

Ruth was chilled by the time she reached her front door, and worried too.
The Lord was coming to visit and she didn’t have anything to offer Him. She
fumbled through her purse for the door key. But as she did, she noticed
another envelope in her mailbox.

“That’s odd. The mailman doesn’t usually come twice in one day.” She took
the envelope out of the box and opened it.

Dear Ruth,

It was so good to see you again. Thank you for the lovely meal. And thank
you, too, for the beautiful coat.

Love Always,
Jesus

The air was still cold, but even without her coat, Ruth no longer noticed.

Who Is???

Here is ANOTHER Message I received!  Just up to sharing so you too can see!

______________________________

Sent: Wed, 9 Jan 2008 3:58 am
Subject: Fw: Who is Barack Obama?

 

_________________________________________________________ 
Who is Barack Obama? ONE YOU MUST FORWARD TO ALL
 
 Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice.
 If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to
 all your contacts…this is very scarey to think of what lies ahead
 of us here in our own United States …better heed this and pray about
 it and share it.
 
 We checked this out on ‘ snopes.com’. It is factual. Check for yourself.
 Who is Barack Obama?
 Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was
 born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM
 from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita ,
 Kansas
 Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii . When Obama was
 two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya
 His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia
 When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia . Obama
 attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also spent two years in a
 Catholic school.
 Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is
 quick to point out that, ‘He was once a Muslim, but that he also
 attended Catholic school.’
 Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear that he is not a radical.
 Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this
 influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned
 to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence
 over his son’s education.
 Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced
 his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta
 
 Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists
 who are now waging Jihad against the western world Since it is
 politically
 expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United
 States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an
 attempt to downplay his Muslim background.
 
 ALSO,keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the
 Holy Bible, but instead the Koran. Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite   
 the
 Pledge of Allegience nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While
 others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the
 flag
 and slouches.
 
 Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential
 candidacy.
 The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside
 out, what better way to start than at the highest level. through the
 Presiden t of the United States . One of their own!!!
 
 Please forward t o eveyone you know. Would you want this man leading our
 country ……. NOT ME!!!!!!!

blog” you might  be interested in some of the info it contains.
 
________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________

          OBAMA – LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!

 

          1.) Selma Got Me Born – LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to
have you in 1961 – Selma had no effect on your

          birth, as Selma was in 1965.  (Google ‘Obama Selma’ for his full
March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various

          untruths.)

          2.) Father Was A Goat Herder – LIAR, he was a privileged, well
educated youth, who went on to work with the

          Kenyan Government.

          3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter – LIAR, he was part of one
of the most corrupt and violent governments

          Kenya has ever had.

          4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom – LIAR, your
cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence

          in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya.
It is the first widespread violence in decades.

          The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to
overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law.

          Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga’s follower.  You
interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to

          speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for
verification of that….and for more.

          http://biz.yahoo.com/ibd/080115/issues.html?.v=1

          Obama’s cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get
Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga

          lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians’ homes
and then burned men, women and children alive in

          a Christian church where they took shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his
cousin before the election process here

          started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one
wants to know the truth.

 

          5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian – LIAR, she does
her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to

          her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn’t allow
her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

          6.) My Name is African Swahili – LIAR, your name is Arabic and
‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means

          ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is
Obama.

          Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be
the first Arab-American President, not the first

          black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his
mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25%

          African Negro from his father’s side. While Barack Hussein Obama’s
father was from Kenya, his father’s family

          was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5%
African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s

          birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African Negro).
From….and for more….go to…..

only_6.25%25_

          African

 

          7.) I Never Practiced Islam – LIAR, you practiced it daily at
school, where you were registered as a Muslim and

          kept that faith for 31 years,until your wife made you change, so
you could run for office.

          4-3-08 Article “Obama was ‘quite religious in islam’”
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60559

          8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian – LIAR, you were
registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in

          Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).

          February 28, 2008.
          Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago:
          Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer,
reciting them with a first-

          rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated
(it’ll give Alabama voters heart

          attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the
prettiest sounds on Earth at

          sunset.”
          This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she
says “Obama’s narrative is

          being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling
facts.”

          9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian – LIAR, not one teacher says you
could speak the language.

          10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign
Experience – LIAR, you were there from the ages of 6

          to 10, and couldn’t even speak the language. What did you learn,
how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

          11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs – LIAR, except for Africa
(surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise),

          you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO
experience with our closest allies.

          12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion – LIAR, you
were quite content in high school to be Barry

          Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to
identify – your classmates said you were just fine.

          13.)An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office – LIAR, Ebony has
yet to find the article you mention in your

          book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.

          14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life – LIAR,
Life has yet to find the article you mention in

          your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.

          15.) I Won’t Run On A National Ticket In ‘08 – LIAR, here you are,
despite saying, live on TV, that you would not

          have enough experience by then, and you are all about having
experience first.

          16.) Present Votes Are Common In Illinois – LIAR, they are common
for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO

          VOTES.

          17.) Oops, I Misvoted – LIAR, only when caught by church groups
and democrats, did you beg to change your

          misvote.

          18.) I Was A Professor Of Law – LIAR, you were a senior lecturer
ON LEAVE.

          19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer – LIAR, you were a senior
lecturer ON LEAVE.

          20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill – LIAR, you didn’t
write it,introduce it, change it, or create it.

          21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass – LIAR, it took just 14 days
from start to finish.

          22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill – LIAR, your bill was rejected
by your own party for its pandering and lack of

          all regulation – mainly because of your Nuclear Donor, Exelon,
from which David Axelrod came.

          23.) I Have Released My State Records – LIAR, as of March, 2008,
state bills you sponsored or voted for have

          yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden
within.

          24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess – LIAR, you were
part of a large group of people who

          remedied Altgeld Gardens. You failed to mention anyone else but
yourself, in your books.

          25.) My Economics Bill Will Help America – LIAR, your 111 economic
policies were just combined into a proposal

          which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill.

          26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois – LIAR, even your own
supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action

          on your part.

          27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year – LIAR, they were not
YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after

          their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid
for higher office.

          28.) No One Contacted Canada About NAFTA – LIAR, the Canadian
Government issued the names and a memo

          of the conversation your campaign had with them.

          29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism – LIAR, you missed the Iran
Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend

          Ali Abunimah supports the destruction of Israel.

          30.) I Am Not Acting As President Yet – LIAR, after the NAFTA
Memo, a dead terrorist in the FARC, in Colombia,

          was found with a letter stating how you and he were working
together on getting FARC recognized officially.

          31.) I Didn’t Run Ads In Florida – LIAR, you allowed national ads
to run 8-12 times per day for two weeks – and you

          still lost.

          32.) I Won Michigan – LIAR, no you didn’t.

          33.) I won Nevada – LIAR, no you did not.

          34.) I Want All Votes To Count – LIAR, you said let the delegates
decide.

          35.) I Want Americans To Decide – LIAR, you prefer caucuses that
limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a

          public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.

          36.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate – LIAR, you passed 26,
most of which you didn’t write yourself.

          37.) My Campaign Was Extorted By A Friend – LIAR, that friend is
threatening to sue if you do not stop saying

          this. Obama has stopped saying this.

          38.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics – LIAR, you used tactics
to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.

          39.) I Don’t Take PAC Money – LIAR, you take loads of it.

with other people’s words.

          44.) I Have Passed Bills In The U.S. Senate – LIAR, you have
passed A BILL in the U.S. Senate – for Africa,

          which shows YOUR priorities.

          45.) I Have Always Been Against Iraq – LIAR, you weren’t in office
to vote against it AND you have voted to fund

          it every single time, unlike Kucinich, who seems to be out gutting
you Obama. You also seem to be stepping back

          from your departure date – AGAIN.

          46.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care – LIAR, your
plan leaves us all to pay for the 15,000,000 who

          don’t have to buy it.
