I received two E-mails today from a friend. This is the second one. After the E-mail is my Reply. *****************************************************

TOM:

This might even be true

This is TOO good!

5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their

Medicare, Part D, drug plan------they are old and confused.

We are NOT going to grant them an extension.

However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are

going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support

monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our

teachers take 300 hours of ESL(English as a Second Language)

training at our expense, etc.

WE MUST REALLY DISLIKE OUR OLD PEOPLE......

OR WE MUST REALLY LOVE TACOS!!!

If it ticks you off, pass it on!!

Don't forget to pay your taxes......

12 million illegal aliens are depending on you!

Dwain:

You sent me 2 E-mails this morning. One was about Jesus and started with the message: "When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you! If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for him, forward this with the Title 7%."

The second one was this cute comparison of elderly people who are being abused by the Republican Medicare Rx program and Illegal Aliens. Read your Bible and you will find that Jesus talked about nothing more often than helping the poor. Yes, many of the elderly people (being abused by the Republican Medicare Rx program) are poor, but so are the "Illegal Aliens". Are they "Illegal" because they have broken laws other than trying to better their life and their family's life?

Would Jesus condemn a man for crossing a border to feed his family?

Wasn't Jesus an "Illegal Alien" as he crossed borders to teach his life's mission of forgiveness and COMPASSION?

Yes, Jesus taught about COMPASSION. COMPASSION for the sick, COMPASSION for the elderly and mostly, COMPASSION for the poor.

This e-mail does a great disservice to all that honer Jesus, especially those who use the name of Jesus at this time of year to Celebrate Christmas. What better gift could any of us give to Jesus than to share some COMPASSION with an Alien? They are aliens, yes, but they are only "Illegal Aliens" because they have walked across the borders established by man; not by Jesus, not by God. Show me where in the Bible that Jesus separated people by borders. Show me in the Bible where Jesus refused to heal or feed a sick or poor person because of borders.

Yes, my tax money is helping aliens, but I do not have the powers of Jesus to heal and feed the sick and poor, except by my tax dollars and my COMPASSION for all of God's children. Just about all of these so-called Illegals are Christians. Let us as Christians, try to act as Christians toward our fellow Christian brothers. Let us refer to them as "Christian Aliens" or better yet, "Our Poor Christian Brothers and Sisters" and let us give them what Jesus would have given them: COMPASSION.

It is easy to fall for these cutesy E-mails. We have to stop, think and realize that we are talking about people. I forgive all those who fall for these E-mails and I am sure that Jesus would also forgive anyone who falls for these E-mails. Our hearts must go out to the poor as we celebrate Christmas in the richest nation in the world. On Christmas day, 35,000 people will die world-wide of starvation. Very few will die of starvation in the USA. Isn't that a Christmas gift that you can be proud of sharing?

BJean, you always give good post. Don't be so quick to cut yourself down, grrl.

Green is not the first to reprimand me for my self-deprecating ways.

When I'm 135 lbs. I'm going to kick some serious booty. LOL

Isn't that just like a fatty... blaming everything on their weight. I jest. I can take care of myself. The reason I backed down from a silly fight is because there were obviously so many who were completely put off by my posts. I still believe that others posted more in the personal attack column than I did.

Green was very, very naughty. She used the putz-word.:phanvan

Makes me think Green calls 'em as she sees 'em.

This seems to be the Anti-Semitism "de-tox" thread.

I love Bjean and Green and the PUTZ word! I LMAO when I read that....a little yiddishkeit is good for the soul!!

Yup, welcome aboard.

:biggrin1: Green sez thanx. And she agrees about the yiddishkeit!

TruBluSue: I have to give you props from here... I too thought there was a male chauvinistic connotation in the language used about a woman's use of a prayer shawl.

I'm all for detoxification! Especially if we can have as much fun here as we've stopped having elsewhere!

OUSooner: You're cute, but I went to O.S.U. Tea sipper.

Thanks, I won't hold that against you

Nah, me neither. We're all Cowboys at heart, aren't we? I mean the Dallas Cowboys, of course!

That we can agree on for sure

re: "Green was in a state of high snittery and did have her size extra large atheist bloomers in a twist"

Now that right there is pretty funny all by itself......

*Teehee* Green is planning to use those bloomers to go parachuting some day.

Having jumped out of a perfectly good airplane once and NOT liked it, I'll contribute my bloomers to Green's jump lesson. (I just had to go buy smaller ones, so I've got some to donate!!) Now if I could get the hell out of this D Cup!!!:faint:

Okay, well, even though I'm currently in Texas and in exile from my beloved Michigan (lol) I can't get with the Cowboys...gimme hockey and the Red Wings any day!!
