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?

TommyO: There's been much of that going around lately, even with most of us normally quite cheerful lot.

I was very young when "Howdy Doody" was on TV.

When I got older, someone made up a few new brilliant lyrics to the Howdy Doody song:

*It's Howdy Doody time,

It isn't worth a dime,

And as for Clarabell,

Well she can go to hell.

(insert Honk, Honk here)

*Sung to the tune of "It's Howdy Doody Time," the intro song to the Howdy Doody show.

I remember that song. I used to sing it in the school yard. :heh:

So who is this dody?:rose:

Green is obsessing no matter how hard I try to divert her attention.

Poor Ron Howard for being compared to Howdy Doody!

As for Clarabell, I think she was a man!!

Green is obsessing no matter how hard I try to divert her attention.

Jawohl, du bist* right! *Green is showing off her high school German, eh.:faint:

Let us move on to the sad case of Clarabel and her/his gender and species confusion issues. Y'all realise that this cow was sorting this out during the time before Womyn's Issues, Lesbian Power, Gay Lib, Sensitivity, Peta, and Politickal Correctness came about. :phanvan The dude was undoubtedly having a rough time in his grrly cow suit wondering whether he was a boy or a grrl, human or beef.:cry Talk about yer identity crisis, eh.:rolleyes

Clarabel has undoubtedly become brisket by now. Let us pause for a moment in order to respect this fine faux cow.

Poor Ron Howard for being compared to Howdy Doody!

As for Clarabell, I think she was a man!!

And........Ron Howard, Howdy Doody, Alfred E Neuman, Richie Velch? :confused: I see archetype here.:help:

What, me worry?

I had a crush on Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring.:confused:

I had a crush on Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring.:confused:

Oooh................ And how long did this go one for?:nervous

About four months, I'd guess.

Or a year, whichever comes first. :confused:
