Will I get three replies?
Forwarding this message is far more important than getting replies. Should it strike a chord in you which causes you to forward it, then the desired impact will be achieved.
NOW is the time to start correcting what Obama started.
I'M SENDING THIS TO A VARIETY OF FRIENDS & FAMILY TO SEE WHAT KIND OF OPINIONS THIS MIGHT BRING FORTH.
SOME STATES (MARYLAND, MICHIGAN & ARIZONA) ARE ALLOWING MUSLIM STUDENTS TO PRAY DURING SCHOOL HOURS.
IF THEY ALLOW THAT, THEN WE SHOULD BRING BACK OUR FLAGS INTO THE CLASSROOMS AND ALLOW OTHERS TO PRAY TOO! TIME FOR THE CHRISTIANS TO SPEAK UP DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS.
WHEN WE GET 100,000,000, THAT'S ONE HUNDRED MILLION, WILLING CHRISTIANS TO BOND TOGETHER, VOICE THEIR CONCERNS AND VOTE, WE CAN TAKE BACK AMERICA WITH GOD'S HELP. BECOME ONE OF THE ONE HUNDRED MILLION. THEN LET'S GET 200 MILLION. IT CAN BE DONE JUST BY SENDING THIS EMAIL TO YOUR FRIENDS. DO THE MATH. IT ONLY TAKES A SINGLE WILLING HEART AND A FED UP SOUL. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON HER!
IN 1952 PRESIDENT TRUMAN ESTABLISHED ONE DAY A YEAR AS A "NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER."
IN 1988 PRESIDENT REAGAN DESIGNATED THE FIRST THURSDAY IN MAY OF EACH YEAR AS THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER.
IN JUNE 2007 (THEN) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA DECLARED THAT THE USA "WAS NO LONGER A CHRISTIAN NATION.
IN MAY 2009 PRESIDENT OBAMA DISMISSED OUR 21ST ANNUAL NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER CEREMONY AT THE WHITE HOUSE UNDER THE RUSE OF "NOT WANTING TO OFFEND ANYONE"
SEPT. 25, 2009, A MUSLIM PRAYER DAY WAS HELD ON THE WEST FRONT OF THE U.S. CAPITOL BUILDING, THE SITE WHERE U.S. PRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN INAUGURATED SINCE 1981. THERE WERE OVER 50,000 MUSLIMS IN D.C. THAT DAY PRESIDENT OBAMA DISMISSED OUR NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER AND NOW IT IS OKAY FOR AN EVENT AT OUR CAPITOL FOR ISLAMIST'S??
I FOR ONE WAS OFFENDED. BUT WAIT, IT DID NOT STOP!!!
FEBRUARY 17-19, 2015, A MUSLIM PRAYER WAS RECITED AT THE START OF THE SECOND DAY OF THE WHITE HOUSE SUMMIT ON “COUNTERING VIOLENT EXTREMISM,” BUT NO OTHER RELIGIOUS TEXT WAS PRESENTED DURING THE PORTION OF THE EVENT THAT WAS OPEN TO THE PRESS. IMAM SHEIKH SA’AD MUSSE ROBLE, PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD PEACE ORGANIZATION IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., RECITED A “VERSE FROM THE QURAN” FOLLOWING REMARKS BY OBAMA ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS AND DEMOCRAT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA ENCOURAGED SCHOOLS TO TEACH THE QURAN FOR EXTRA CREDIT, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, WE CANNOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE BIBLE, GOD, PRAY, OR SALUTE THE AMERICAN FLAG.
THE DIRECTION THIS COUNTRY WAS HEADED SHOULD STRIKE FEAR IN THE HEARTS OF EVERY CHRISTIAN.
HOW REFRESHING AND BEAUTIFUL OUR FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP WAS IN MELBOURNE, FLORIDA ON FEBRUARY 18, 2017. INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL “PUMPING UP” OF THE CROWD, MELANIA CHOSE TO START THE RALLY OFF WITH THE LORD’S PRAYER. IT SOUNDED MORE LIKE THE START OF A FOOTBALL GAME AFTER THE NATIONAL ANTHEM RATHER THAN WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT TO HEAR AFTER A PRAYER.
MAKE A “JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD THY GOD”! THE “SINCERE IGNORANCE AND CONSCIENTIOUS STUPIDITY” OF MADELINE MURRAY O’HARA AND ACLU EFFORTS IN 1962, "SCHOOL PRAYER WAS REMOVED FROM THE U.S. PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM BY SLOWLY CHANGING THE MEANING OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT THROUGH A NUMBER OF COURT CASES OVER SEVERAL DECADES” SHOULD BE CONFRONTED AND REVERSED.
SEND THIS TO TEN PEOPLE, OR EVEN ONE HUNDRED TEN! AND SEND IT TO THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU! TO LET THEM KNOW THAT INDEED, IT WAS SENT OUT TO MANY MORE.

Three Presidents
What did Presidents Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?
This is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn't know of this until it was pointed out to me.
Back during the great depression, Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.
Harry Truman deported over two million illegal aliens after WWII to create jobs for Returning veterans.
In 1954 Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexicans.
The program was called Operation Wetback. It was done so WWII and Korean War veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took two years, but they deported them!
Now, if they could deport the illegal aliens back then, they could surely do it today.
If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.
Why, you might ask, can't they do this today?
Actually the answer is quite simple. Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower were men of honor, not untrustworthy politicians looking for votes!
Reminder: Don't forget to pay your taxes - 12 to 20 million illegal aliens – are depending on it.

correctness
Although I
consider myself reasonably fluent in English, that term was not in my
vocabulary.
Curiosity got
the better of me so I decided to do a little research, and after two weeks of
chasing fruitless leads, I found what I’d been looking for at the Truman
Library and Museum in Independence Missouri .
An unnamed
source there sent me copies of four telegrams between then-President Harry
Truman and Gen Douglas MacArthur on the day before the actual signing of the
WW2 Surrender Agreement in September 1945..
The contents of those four telegrams below are exactly as received at
the end of the war - not
a word has been added or deleted!
(1) Tokyo , Japan
0800-September 1,1945
To: President Harry S Truman
From: General D A MacArthur
"Tomorrow we meet with those
yellow-bellied bastards and sign the Surrender Documents, any last minute
instructions? "
(2) Washington, D C
1300-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur
From: H S Truman
" Congratulations, job well
done, but you must tone down your obvious dislike of the Japanese when
discussing the terms of the surrender with the press,
because some of
your remarks are fundamentally not politically correct! "
(3) Tokyo , Japan
1630-September 1, 1945
To: H S Truman
From: D A MacArthur and C H Nimitz
" Wilco Sir, but both Chester and I are somewhat confused, exactly what
does the term politically correct mean? "
(4) Washington, D C
2120-September 1, 1945
To: D A MacArthur/C H Nimitz
From: H S Truman
"Political
Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth
the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the
clean end! "
Now, with special thanks to the Truman Museum and Harry himself, you and
I finally have a full understanding of what ‘POLITICAL CORRECTNESS’ really
means.
