This is great news for the Congressional 5th. Now, if Glenn Wilson will follow suit in the Congressional 1st, that would be great!  (We love what Glenn stands for -especially because he understands that enacting the FairTax will "cut the cord" that binds us to tyranny, but now is NOT the time for a third party.)

 

Appreciatively,

Huckabee issues a challenge related to the taxes you pay

Pedro A, In case you missed it, please watch Mike Huckabee's monologue from his show this weekend on Fox News Channel. Mike is watching our efforts to combat the misleading attack ads against the FairTax this campaign season. Well, he's fighting back and challenges those who are deliberately lying to voters about the FairTax plan. You and I know that we will win any debate about the FairTax plan. I encourage you to watch this video and then donate to FairTax today! We are running a true grassroots campaign where YOU are the life blood of our organization. Can we count on your support today? A donation today will help us leverage this terrific national exposure on Fox News.  We are very proud of our grassroots volunteers who are using every means possible to combat these lies and mislead attack ads. For example, our Facebook page is a hub of great activity and information to dispel the lies in the attack ads. Make this page a resource for you to use and recruit supporters. As Mike eloquently points out on his show, candidates and political parties are attacking those who support the transformational power of the FairTax. They're telling voters that we support a large federal tax increase. They conveniently fail to mention that we call for the abolition of the IRS and provide a method for many Americans to keep their whole paycheck.  You and I know how much America needs the FairTax. Americans are frustrated, angry and tired of political tricks. Our nation's financial outlook is grim. The FairTax is the answer many voters need to hear about right now.  Your generous contribution today will recruit new supporters, who are so very hungry for the transformational power of the FairTax. I hope we can count on your support today. Sincerely, The FairTax Team

Separation of Church&State = 'Preamble of Freedom of Religion Act'~Thomas Jefferson for State of Virginia prior to U.S Constitution's First Amendment Creation

The separation of Church and State is not meant to protect us against Religious Governmental input, Symbols of History or Faith.  Here is the beginning of the Preamble of the Freedom of Religion Act made by Thomas Jefferson for the State of Virginia prior to the U.S Constitutions First Amendment Creation and is held as the foundation of our First Amendment:

 

  he act for the establishment of Religious Freedom is perhaps the most interesting feature in the revised code of Virginia. With the exception of the Declaration of Independence, it is the most celebrated of the author's productions, and the one to which he recurred with the highest pride and satisfaction. The preamble which ushers in the act designates with peculiar emphasis the premises upon which the proposition was founded. The following is the preamble with the accompanying bill as originally composed by Jefferson:

http://etext.virginia.edu/jefferson/biog/lj12.htm

"SECTION I. Well aware that the opinions and belief of men depend not on their own will, but follow involuntarily the evidence proposed to their minds; that Almighty God hath created the mind free, and manifested his supreme will that free it shall remain by making it altogether insusceptible of restraint; that all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments, or burthens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, who being lord both of body and mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in his Almighty power to do, but to exalt it by its influence on reason alone; that the impious presumption of legislators and rulers, civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world and through all time: That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical; that even the forcing him to support this or that teacher of his own religious persuasion, is depriving him of the comfortable liberty of giving his contributions to the particular pastor whose morals he would make his pattern, and whose powers he feels most persuasive to righteousness;..."

In the first introduction of the First Amendment by James Madison stated:  http://www.constitution.org/ac/001/r01-1/bill_of_rights_hr1789.txt

"Fourthly. That in article 1st, section 9, between clauses 3 and 4, be inserted these clauses, to wit: The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext, infringed." 

Our Constitution as adopted:   Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

The Founding Fathers used the Treasury Building in the Early days as a Church until one could be constructed.  Was that establishing religion?  No, it was the free exercise thereof.  A Judge who hangs the Ten Commandments or a picture of Socrates and the wall an establishing religion?  No, it is the freedom of his speech.

Does Mike Huckabee believe in the First Amendment?  Yes , as originally written and defined/  He has stated many times, Mike believes in the law as fundamentally enacted, to include the Creation of our Constitution.

FairTax Friday | FactCheck.org: 30+ "misleading" FairTax attack ads!

Weekly Feature

The good news is that the FairTax has been a feature story nationwide
this month. More than any time in our history, TV hosts, commentators,
bloggers, talk shows and the press are talking about the FairTax
legislation and inviting us to weigh in. More Americans than ever are
contacting their local volunteer leaders, our website traffic has
increased between 20% - 100% in all the cities and states where
FairTax is an issue in congressional races and over 62,000 people
belong to our Facebook page. But as you guessed, this sudden attention
to the legislation that would turn the economy around and keep more
money in your pocket - is fueled by lies.

http://www.fairtax.org/site/R?i=bPWsJNpwIf1ThnYxj4w57g..

FactCheck.org calls the attack ads "misrepresenting by
omission," PolitiFact.com has given them only a
"half-true" rating and in newspapers across the nation,
articles are pointing out the deceptive nature of the attack ads.
They've covered the state in Arkansas, Colorado and Kentucky and
have run in fifteen other Congressional races. And more are coming.

What we're doing: This week we placed a newspaper ad across the
nation that has reached millions of Americans and are continuing to
run internet ads. Our spokesmen have been in daily contact with
broadcast media, print media and on talk radio with the truth about
the transformative power of the FairTax. Letters have been sent to the
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the National
Republican Congressional Committee urging that the attack ads come
down immediately and both parties embrace the FairTax.

What we need you to do: Please forward these emails to friends and

letter to your local paper about the truth, contact your Congressman
and get in touch with your local volunteer leaders. Search for FairTax
news stories and comment on any distortions. Find the YouTube channels

You and I know that the non-partisan, economic principles of FairTax
are its strength and we thank you for standing with us.

Special Feature: Grassroots Spotlight

Mississippi State Director Alan Ramsay reports about his experience at
a local grassroots event:

"There were about 100 in attendance and the featured speaker was
Senator Roger Wicker, R-MS. A very knowledgeable FairTax supporter
gave a quick review of the benefits of FairTax and then asked the
Senator where he stood on the issue. Senator Wicker paused and then
turned to the audience and asked how many of them supported the Fair
Tax proposal. To his obvious surprise, over 75% of them raised their
hands. The Senator then explained calmly that he had concerns over a
Fair Tax system... He indicated he would continue to look at the Fair
Tax proposal to determine its merits."

Thanks to Alan's work, and that of thousands of unnamed
volunteers, the FairTax is set to play a pivotal role in our
nation's economic recovery. Thank you!

FairTax in the News

Fair Tax = Unfair Attacks - Wall Street Journal Political Diary

...In at least 16 House districts and three Senate races, Democrats
have run ads blasting Republicans for offering kind words about the
"Fair Tax" -- a proposal to replace the federal income tax with a 23%
sales tax.

Democrats have jumped at the opportunity to paint Republicans as
tax-happy. Jack Conway, the Democratic candidate for Senate in
Kentucky, accused Republican Rand Paul in last night's debate of
wanting to raise the price of groceries and drugs by 23%... Similar
ads are pummeling Ken Buck, the GOP candidate for Senate in Colorado.
His lead over Democratic Senator Michael Bennet has shrunk to two
points.

FactCheck.org, a watchdog group for political advertising, says the
ads are often misleading because they neglect to point out that the
federal income tax would be abolished as part of the Fair Tax
proposal. "Democrats are accusing Republicans of supporting a 23%
sales tax on everything, which would be on top of all existing
taxes... It's misrepresenting by omission of the FairTax idea,"
FactCheck.org director Brooks Jackson told The Hill newspaper.

Dem ads against GOP not accurate on crux of FairTax proposal -
TheHill.com

Democratic lawmakers struggling to find support from a skeptical
electorate are using a Republican tactic to win votes by claiming
their opponents will raise taxes if elected into office...

WPGH Fox 53 in Pennsylvania suspended a 30-second advertisement by the
DCCC about the Fair Tax that was running in the state's 12th
congressional district. The ad did not mention that the Fair Tax would
replace the income tax. Democrats argued at the time that the ad was
pulled because of the conservative politics of the company that owns
WPGH...

The FairTax replaces income and payroll taxes with a national sales
tax that would likely be collected at the state level. It also
provides a rebate for incomes that are below the poverty line.

Jack Conway's next attack on Rand Paul: Sales tax - Washington
Post

...The spot, one of several that the Conway camp is considering airing
for the final stretch, shows video of Paul saying: "I would always
favor a sales tax over an income tax."

The question about the sales tax, or so-called "Fair Tax," has
surfaced as a major issue in the race in recent days. In the wake of
the video revelations, a former Paul campaign aide put out a statement
saying Paul would vote for the Fair Tax as Senator. But the campaign
has since distanced him from the claim, insisting that Paul is merely
in favor of looking at all options in the quest for tax reform.

Did You Know?

Scholarly research tells us:

- Real wages are 10.3 percent, 9.5 percent, and 9.2 percent higher in
years 1, 10, and 25, respectively than would otherwise be the
case. [3]
http://www.fairtax.org/site/R?i=ePh20Db4IxFtySTomxLijQ..

- Disposable personal income is higher than if the current tax system
remains in place: 1.7 percent in year 1, 8.7 percent in year 5,
and 11.8 percent in year 10. [4]
http://www.fairtax.org/site/R?i=G5xzVh-MZ2-PeDahrywObw..

- The economy as measured by GDP is 2.4 percent higher in the first
year and 11.3 percent higher by the 10th year than it would otherwise
be. [4]
http://www.fairtax.org/site/R?i=BkafDJl-0_3Su5jGxwtIYw..

- Over time, the FairTax benefits all income groups. Of 42
household types (classified by income, marital status, age), all have
lower average remaining lifetime tax rates under the FairTax than
they would experience under the current tax system. [5]
http://www.fairtax.org/site/R?i=KBAvrsZJbPk6njSQocSB0Q..

- Implementing the FairTax at a 23 percent rate gives the poorest
members of the generation born in 1990 a 13.5 percent improvement in
economic well-being; their middle class and rich contemporaries
experience a 5 percent and 2 percent improvement,
respectively. [6]
http://www.fairtax.org/site/R?i=cQyzOYBjsaUH2VE5f1dhBg..

- Based on standard measures of tax burden, the FairTax is more
progressive than the individual income tax, payroll tax, and the
corporate income tax. [7]
http://www.fairtax.org/site/R?i=2CzxomDrsjKcd6Bwa7vgqQ..

- Charitable giving increases by $2.1 billion (about 1 percent) in
the first year over what it would be if the current system remained
in place, by 2.4 percent in year 10, and by 5 percent in year
20. [8]
http://www.fairtax.org/site/R?i=nE6-3kLs6prVPhIpfjn71Q..

- The FairTax provides the equivalent of a supercharged mortgage
interest deduction, reducing the true cost of buying a home by 19
percent. [10]

#Mi- Steven Mobley for #Michigan Rep. Educates Voters on Michigan FairTax

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Mobley Seeks to Educate Voters on the Michigan FairTax Proposal Steve Mobley leaves no question about where he stands on the often-misunderstood Michigan FairTax Proposal, though he admits that educating the public on the topic poses its challenges. "The benefits offered by the Michigan FairTax Proposal are so numerous and benefit Michigan's citizens on so many fronts, that it's hard to know where to start when trying to explain it to someone, even though the plan itself is pretty simple," said Mobley Thursday evening.  "The impact on job creation alone is enough to win my support, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.  A lot of people have no idea that the FairTax includes a 'prebate' provision, which virtually eliminates taxes on necessities and essentially untaxes the poor and lowers the effective tax rate on most lower and middle income families.  Worse, people are being told that this is an additional tax, when in fact, it's a REPLACEMENT TAX that eliminates so many other taxes as to allow for an overall reduction in the price of most goods and services while providing local governments with stable, guaranteed revenue on which they can budget for things like police and fire protection and improvements to infrastructure, which are also factors businesses look for when considering where to invest.  It's a cycle that feeds itself in a very favorable way for everyone involved—businesses and families alike." According to MIFAIRTAX.ORG, the proposed 9.75% sales tax will replace the current sales tax, Personal Income Tax, the Michigan Business Tax, Personal Property Tax, 6 Mil State Education Tax on business and sales tax on all business purchases, while providing a more stable revenue source and raising the same amount of money for Michigan government. "The biggest benefit to the taxpayers is that it eliminates a lot of potential for corruption in the form of tax favors given by politicians.  It shouldn't surprise us when we see politicians opposed to this," said Mobley.  "I want to go to the Michigan House to level the playing field, so that all businesses have an equal chance to grow and thrive and provide jobs right here in Michigan.  We've been letting politicians use our  tax system to pick winners and losers and purchase loyalty.  I'm opposed to that.  I want everyone to succeed." Transparency is another aspect of the FairTax Mobley wants Michigan's citizens to understand.  "Under the Michigan FairTax, there will be no more hidden taxes raising the cost of things we buy.  Every cent of our tax burden will be labeled as such on our sales receipts.  Michigan citizens and businesses spend billions of dollars a year just in compliance costs.  Those aren't even the taxes themselves.  That's just the cost of filing the forms, hiring the accountants, and frankly, looking for loopholes.  The Michigan FairTax allows that money to be poured back into our economy and closes the loopholes."

Statement On NPR Firing Juan Williams by Mike Huckabee

NPR has fired Juan Williams as a result of comments he recently made on The Bill O'Reilly show. The comments were his personal admission that while he is certainly not a bigot, he said he was nervous when someone in Muslim garb and spouting Muslim doctrine got on an airplane on which he was a passenger. I know Juan and am proud to be a colleague of his as a fellow Fox News contributor. There isn't a more honest and fair-minded person in journalism. He is refreshingly honest and candid and unusually objective when it comes to analyzing the events in the news.

NPR has discredited itself as a forum for free speech and a protection of the First Amendment rights of all and has solidified itself as the purveyor of politically correct pabulum and protector of views that lean left.

While I have often enjoyed appearing on NPR programs and have been treated fairly and objectively, I will no longer accept interview requests from NPR as long as they are going to practice a form of censorship, and since NPR is funded with public funds, it IS a form of censorship. It is time for the taxpayers to start making cuts to federal spending, and I encourage the new Congress to start with NPR.

MIKE HUCKABEE TEASES AT RUN
By Connie Lewis

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee compares the upcoming mid-term elections to a self-cleaning oven: Americans are going to turn the knob up to an "unbearably hot level" this November.

Toby Keith likes Mike Huckabee for President

 

CNN: What do you think of Sarah Palin?

Keith: Sarah Palin can't do this. She's not the right girl for the job. I don't think she has enough support to win it, if she did have it. I'll tell you who I like. I like Huckabee. I like [former Arkansas Gov.] Mike Huckabee. That's who I like.

CNN: What do you like about him?

Keith: If you sit and talk with him for very long, it takes you a little while before you realize, "Oh, I forgot. I'm talking to a politician." He was a governor, he ran for president, he's sharp as a cat, he's down to earth and humble. He's qualified, and you have to be a great speaker to be a great leader. You have to have the ability to make people trust you, and he's got everything he needs. I really like the guy.

THE 2012 SCORE – HUCK'S NEXT STOP: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee – fresh off planning a post-election trip to Iowa – is headed for the early primary state of South Carolina on Oct. 30. He plans to attend a party-building event in West Columbia for the Lexington County and Richmond County GOP, hosted by South Carolina House Majority Leader Kenny Bingham and Republican political maestro Richard Quinn. Huckabee will address the crowd at the Riverfront Park and play bass guitar with a live band. HuckPAC executive director Hogan Gidley – a former state GOP operative and associate at Quinn's consulting firm – confirmed that Huckabee will participate in the event.

FairTax Friday Weekly News Letter | Campaign Edition

 

Do not miss a single issue of FairTax Friday, add info@fairtax.org to your buddy list, contact list or safe list. Weekly Feature As you've heard, the FairTax, and the candidates who support it, are coming under attack in many election campaigns nationwide. The attacks are, of course, full of lies and distortions but continue to present an opportunity to showcase the FairTax and its transformative effect on our nation. We're now one of the top issues in this election and we are working hard to leverage these attacks to recruit new supporters who will drive us toward our ultimate goal. To counter the attacks, on Sunday we're launching a newspaper ad in several markets across the country and online advertising goes live this weekend. Watch your inbox to see the full ad and an opportunity to run it in your area! We hope to keep these in print and circulation on the web through Election Day with your help. Also this week, our Chairman, Leo Linbeck, Jr., wrote letters to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee  and the National Republican Congressional Committee. He urged that the attack ads come down immediately and both parties embrace the FairTax to fund the government in a way that is "transparent, more efficient, more conducive to economic growth, and, yes, even fairer to all." We ask that you join with thousands of volunteers, our national spokesmen who are busier than ever and grassroots leaders to recruit new faces to pass the FairTax legislation. Join us on Facebook, write a letter to your local paper, contact your Congressman and if you see an attack ad, send an email with details to info@fairtax.org with "Intel" in the subject line. You and I know that the non-partisan, objective principles about the FairTax plan are its strength and we thank you for standing with us. Special Feature: Grassroots Spotlight FairTaxers and union brothers, Doug Dash and Terry McSweeney, presented a resolution supporting the FairTax before 10,000 attendees at the August convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers. To make this possible, Doug, volunteer District Director for NJ-01 and retired letter carrier, had persuaded his local union branch to sponsor a resolution reciting fourteen reasons why American workers should support the FairTax and calling on the union to support it. To be effective, Doug needed to distribute flyers explaining the resolution. The Secretary-Treasurer, apparently on her own, said no. Doug went straight to the top and was able to arrange a briefing in Washington with union President Fred Rolando. Doug, Terry and Jim Bennett spoke persuasively about the FairTax and Rolando was clearly interested. He reversed the ruling about flyer distribution, but after closed deliberations, the union board recommended disapproval of the FairTax resolution. While the resolution wasn't passed at the convention, many first time milestones were reached thanks to Doug's diligent work. Rolando was one of the first presidents of a major union to be briefed on the FairTax and only for the second time a FairTax resolution with supporting speeches came to the floor of a major union convention. Most significantly, flyers went into the hands of 2,000 union activists. --- Pictured is Cooper Bennett, 5, enjoying handing out over 100 FairTax cards at a street fair and craft show in October. FairTax in the News In defense of a fair tax - Gazette.com It's election season again, just look at the political ads on TV and unwanted telephone calls. This means it's time for citizens to beware of politicians' distortions and lies. A subject that is ripe for that is the Fair Tax and distorting what it truly means... Any politician or political group who claims or implies that the Fair Tax adds a 23 percent national consumption (sales) tax on top of all the other taxes listed above is either lying to you or is ignorant of the facts. This lie is already being told in ads about our Colorado Senator and Representative candidates. Whether this false claim is due to ignorance or outright lying, the politician on whose behalf these claims are made is not worthy of your vote. Take the time to learn more about the Fair Tax and the lies being told about it at www.FairTax.org.

You would think Teachers would care more about their Country. Why an attack Ad against Taxtax? Unionistis?

 
You would think Teachers would care more about their Country. They are smart enough to know that ending the Fed payroll taxes will go to the worker & the cost of that hotdog will have taxes backed out.
 
What are the Communists afraid of?  Karl Marx declared the graduated income tax to be the great tool for socialism. Teachers, as all other big unions think they will be privileged under such a Government. They fail to remember the old Soviet Union was but one union and not free to be as you are today.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE             October 15, 2010           Contact: Roger Buchholtz  (269) 345-0950                    President, Michigan FairTax Assn              roger.buchholtz@mifairtax.org     Debate challenge seeks truth about "23% sales tax" TV/print ads by Democrats in 4 Congressional District contests.

(Kalamazoo, MI) - In four of Michigan's Congressional Districts ads have been running in which misinformation about the FairTax is being used as a means to attack candidates that support the FairTax replacement tax.  In each case the candidate and/or their surrogates at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) or the Michigan Democratic Party have put out ads or literature that imply that the FairTax is a new tax on top of all other current taxes, in spite the fact that some other Democratic candidates support the FairTax. FactCheck.org says the ads are false, as the FairTax is a REPLACEMENT tax.  The FairTax replaces most all current federal taxes and eliminates the IRS.  The facts are that the FairTax ELIMINATES the income tax, Social Security & Medicare taxes and death & gift taxes and replaces their revenue with a simple retail sales tax that will save taxpayers $500 billion each year in tax compliance cost.  Americans will then receive their entire paychecks and when they spend their money they will be paying their taxes. Roger Buchholtz, volunteer President of the non-partisan Michigan FairTax Association said, "We hereby challenge all parties disseminating this deceptive advertising to debate this issue at any time.  Specifically, we challenge the following candidates to debate whether the FairTax is an additional tax, as they have implied, or whether it is a replacement tax: · 1st District's Gary McDowell, running the ads against Dan Benishek. · 5th District's Dale Kildee, running the ads against John Kupiec. · 7th District's Mark Schauer, running the ads against Tim Walberg. · 9th District's Gary Peters, running the ads against Rocky Raczkowski. If they choose not to debate us on this issue then we fully expect them to renounce the ads, cease running them and distributing the deceptive literature, and ask their surrogates and supporters to do likewise." Buchholtz continued, "It is possible that ignorance of the FairTax proposal is the reason why these candidates have allowed this misleading information, and we are here to inform them at their convenience."   Buchholtz observed that the FairTax makes visible taxes that citizens now pay, but don't see: "Under the FairTax Americans will be able to see their true tax burden for the first time in generations, as the tax will appear on every sales receipt..  Today, by taxing businesses and all the labor and materials in the production of goods and services, much of our tax burden is hidden in the price of the things we buy. A Harvard University study concluded that 22% of the price of things we buy are taxes buried/hidden in the price.  This hidden tax is paid by all of us when we buy American produced products.  To make matters worse, we pay again when we lose our jobs because our company is placed at a 22% competitive disadvantage compared with foreign produced products." "These attacks by the Michigan Democratic Party, the DCCC and some candidates are attempts to preserve the status quo, where politicians have power never intended by our Founding Fathers.  The FairTax eliminates this power by eliminating the buying and selling of tax favors which takes place under today's income tax system and corrupts our representative form of government resulting in an unresponsive and bloated government," Mr. Buchholtz asserted. He elaborated, "The truth is that the FairTax immediately saves over $500 billion per year (that is $1,700 for every man, woman and child in America) and brings jobs and prosperity back to America." Buchholtz concluded by stating, "Dan Benishek, John Kupiec, Tim Walberg, Rocky Raczkowski, and other FairTax advocates, are showing leadership by offering a bold new idea, and courage because that new idea eliminates the special tax favors some powerful special interests derive from the current tax code."

Story from a Spanish newspaper about the Muslim global threat

Subject: Story from a Spanish newspaper regarding what happened in Europe   Read all of it. Scroll all the way to the bottom. Read each word and know this is the truth. If this offends your political views, simply delete and move along. Unless you're completely blind, you will see this is happening in America right now.   ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ   The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15 2008.  It doesn't take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of  Europe - and possibly to the rest of the world. REMEMBER AS YOU READ . . . IT WAS IN A SPANISH PAPER   Date:  Tuesday 15 January 2008 14:30   ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ   By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez   I walked down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz ... We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.  In  Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent.  We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world. The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.   And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who  brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.   They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.   Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.   And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.   We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs. What a terrible mistake was made by miserable  Europe .   A  lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.   Absolutely No Profiling!  Pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple choice test.   These events are actual events from history. They really happened!  Do you remember?   HERE'S THE TEST:   1.  1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by: a.  Superman b.  Jay Leno c.  Harry Potter d.  A Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40   2.  In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by: a.  Olga Corbett b.  Sitting Bull c.  Arnold Schwarzenegger d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   3.  In 1979, the US embassy in  Iran was taken over by: a.  Lost Norwegians b.  Elvis c.  A tour bus full of 80-year-old women d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   4.  During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon   by: a.  John Dillinger b.  The King of Sweden c.  The Boy Scouts d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   5.  In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by: a.  A pizza delivery boy b.  Pee Wee Herman c.  Geraldo Rivera d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   6.  In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by: a.  The Smurfs b.  Davey Jones c.  The Little Mermaid d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   7.  In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by: a.  Captain Kidd b.  Charles Lindberg c.  Mother Teresa d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   8.  In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by: a.  Scooby Doo b.  The Tooth Fairy c.  The Sundance Kid d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   9.  In 1993 the World   Trade Center was bombed the first time by: a.  Richard Simmons b.  Grandma Moses c.  Michael Jordan d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   10.  In 1998, the US embassies in  Kenya and  Tanzania were bombed by: a.  Mr. Rogers b.  Hillary Clinton, to distract attention from Wild Bill's women problems c.  The World Wrestling Federation d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   11.  On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take out the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers.  Thousands of people were killed by: a.  Bugs Bunny, Wiley E. Coyote, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd b.  The Supreme Court of Florida c.  Mr  Bean d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   12.  In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan  against: a.  Enron b.  The Lutheran   Church c.  The NFL d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   13.  In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by: a.  Bonnie and Clyde b.  Captain Kangaroo c.  Billy Graham d.  Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40   14.  And now we can add: In 2009, 31 people wounded and 13 American Soldiers murdered on base at Fort Hood by a Major that was known as... a: You guessed it - A Muslim male extremist between the age of 17 and 40.   No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?  So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.  They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.   Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Nancy Pelosis, Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves - if they have any such sense.   We can not allow the socialist transformation being brought on by the current administration to continue.  Look at what it has done to Europe .  We all must stand together before it's too late and everything America   stands for is lost.   The Global  Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000;  that is ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED MILLION or 20% of the  world's population.

Lewis 1996 - Lu Rose Iacovino   TOTAL: 129!   The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training  camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and  cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims.   The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes  at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German  restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew who has  destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew who  protests by killing people.   &nbs p;  The Jews don't  traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and  death to all the Infidels.   Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard  education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.   Muslims must ask 'what can they do  for humankind' before they demand that humankind  respects them.   Regardless of your feelings  about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians  and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more culpability on Israel 's part, the following two sentences really say it all:   'If the Arabs put  down their weapons today, there would be no more  violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel '. "Benjamin Netanyahu"   General Eisenhower warned us: It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces,  General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the  death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding  villages to be ushered through the camps and even made  to bury the dead.   He did this because he said in words to this effect:   'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because  somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'   Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never  occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a  frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the  world and how easily each country is giving into it.   It is now more than 60 years after the Second  World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being  sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6 million  Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were 'murdered, raped,  burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated' while the German people looked the other  way.   Now, more than ever, with Iran , among  others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.   This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million  people. Be a link in the memorial chain and help  distribute this around the world.   How many  years will it be before the attack on the World Trade   Center 'NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the United States ?   Do not just delete this  message; it will take only a minute to pass it along.
