I`m planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
We`re planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico , and we`ll need your help to make a few arrangements.
We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I`m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I`m on my way over?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1.. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grand kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grand kids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grand kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver`s license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico but I don`t plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won`t make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer..
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put U. S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I`ll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I`ll need Income tax credits so although I don`t pay Mexican Taxes, I`ll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov`t pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I`ll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U.S. from Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won`t mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help. You`re the man!!!

ARMY GOES MULTICAN Posted On 3/2/2010
The Army will begin fielding MultiCam, a more effective camouflage pattern for Afghanistan, in August. Soldiers deploying in late summer will be the first to receive the new versions of the Army Combat Uniform; soldiers already in theater will begin getting them in the fall. MultiCam, made by Crye Precision LLC, bested the existing digital pattern and others in multiple Army tests. MultiCam was “21 percent less detectable than UCP,” the pattern used in ACUs, said Col. Bill Cole, project manager for Soldier Protection and Individual Equipment. “MultiCam was the clear winner,” he said. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey was convinced of MultiCam’s effectiveness based on that statistic, Cole said. “He’s an infantryman ... when he saw that, he said, ‘You mean I can get this much closer to the enemy before I’m seen?’” Cole said. “That’s what he wanted.” Secretary of the Army John McHugh approved Casey’s recommendation Feb. 19. The 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, at Fort Polk, La., and the Iowa National Guard’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division, will be the first to receive MultiCam. The new uniforms will also feature other improvements slated to be incorporated in all future ACUs over time, including an improved collar and buttons to replace some Velcro. Soldiers will receive four sets of MultiCam uniforms, four combat shirts and matching combat gear, Cole said. “Anything they would wear on a dismounted combat patrol will be in MultiCam,” Cole said. The Feb. 19 announcement came after a multiphase effort that culminated with soldiers from Fort Bragg, N.C., Fort Campbell, Ky., and Fort Drum, N.Y., evaluating hundreds of calibrated photos of the Army’s Universal Camouflage Pattern and five alternative patterns taken in different settings in Afganistan.

CHRISTMAS Posted On 12/14/2009
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS SundayMorning Commentary.
My confession: I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it doesnot bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up,bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don`t feel threatened. I don`t feeldiscriminated against. That`s what they are, Christmas trees. It doesn`t bother me a bit when people say, `Merry Christmas` to me. Idon`t think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto.In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisterscelebrating this happy time of year. It doesn`t bother me at all that thereis a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house inMalibu. If people want a creche, it`s just as fine with me as is theMenorah a few hundred yards away. I don`t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don`t thinkChristians like getting pushed around for being Christians.. I think peoplewho believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. Ihave no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitlyatheist country. I can`t find it in the Constitution and I don`t like itbeing shoved down my throat. Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that weshould worship celebrities and we aren`t allowed to worship God as weunderstand Him? I guess that`s a sign that I`m getting old, too. But thereare a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from andwhere the America we knew went to. In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is alittle different: This is not intended to be a joke; it`s not funny, it`sintended to get you thinking. Billy Graham`s daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Claysonasked her `How could God let something like this happen?` (regardingHurricane Katrina).. Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightfulrespons e. She said, `I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as weare, but for years we`ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to getout of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentlemanHe is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give usHis blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?` In light of recent events.... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. Ithink it started when Madeleine Murray O`Hare (she was murdered, her bodyfound a few years ago) complained she didn`t want prayer in our schools, andwe said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school..The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love yourneighbor as yourself. And we said OK. Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn`t spank our children when theymisbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we mightdamage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock`s son committed suicide). We said anexpert should know what he`s talking about. And we said okay. Now we`re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why theydon`t know right from wrong, and why it doesn`t bother them to killstrangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.I think it has a great deal to do with `WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.` Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why theworld`s going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, butquestion what the Bible says. Funny how you can send `jokes` through e-mailand they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regardingthe Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgarand obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussionof God is suppressed in the school and workplace. Are you laughing yet? Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many onyour address list because you`re not sure what they believe, or what theywill think of you for sending it. Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us thanwhat God thinks of us. Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not, then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if youdiscard this thought process, don`t sit back and complain about what badshape the world is in. My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully, Ben Stein
THINK ABOUT IT Posted On 11/2/2009
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody any-thing that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."*

`Letter of Apology` To Muslims Posted On 2/23/2008
For good and ill, the Iraqi prisoner abuse mess will remain an issue. On the one hand, right thinking Americans will abhor the stupidity of the actions while, on the other hand, political glee will take control and fashion this minor event into some modern day massacre.?
I humbly offer my opinion here I am sorry that the last seven times we Americans took up arms and sacrificed the blood of our youth, it was in the defense of Muslims ( Bosnia , Kosovo, Gulf War 1, Kuwait , etc.)?<BR>
I am sorry that no such call for an apology upon the extremists came after 9/11.
I am sorry that all of the murderers on 9/11 were Islamic Arabs.
I am sorry that most Arabs and Muslims have to live in squalor under savage dictatorships.?
I am sorry that their leaders squander their wealth
I am sorry that their governments breed hate for the US in their religious schools, mosques, and government-controll ed media.?
I am sorry that Yassar Arafat was kicked out of every Arab country and high-jacked the Palestinian `cause.`?
I am sorry that no other Arab country will take in or offer more than a token amount of financial help to those same Palestinians.?
I am sorry that the U.S.A. has to step in and be the biggest financial supporter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely wealthy Arabs blame the USA for all their problems.?
I am sorry that our own left wing, our media, and our own brainwashed masses do not understand any of this (from the misleading vocal elements of our society like radical professors, CNN and the NY? TIMES).?
I am sorry the United Nations scammed the poor people of Iraq out of the `food for oil` money so they could get rich while the common folk suffered.?
I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers upon their death.
I am sorry that those same bombers are brainwashed thinking they will receive 72 virgins in `paradise.`?
I am sorry that the homicide bombers think pregnant women, babies, children, the elderly and other non-combatant civilians are legitimate targets.?
I am sorry they didn`t apologize for driving a jet into the WorldTradeCenter that collapsed and severely damaged Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church - one of our Holy Sites.?
I am sorry they didn`t apologize for flights 93 and 175, the USS Cole, the embassy bombings, the murders and beheadings of Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl, etc, etc!?
I am sorry Michael Moore is American; he could feed a medium sized village in Africa.?
America will get past this latest absurdity. We will punish those responsible because that is what we do.
We hang out our dirty laundry for the entire world to see. We move on. That`s one of the reasons we are hated so much. We don`t hide this stuff like all those Arab countries that are now demanding an apology.?
Deep down inside, when most Americans saw this reported in the news, we were like - so what? We lost hundreds and made fun of a few prisoners. Sure, it was wrong; sure, it dramatically hurts our cause; but, until captured, we were trying to kill these same prisoners. Now we`re supposed to wring our hands because a few were humiliated??
Our compassion is tempered with the vivid memories of our own people killed, mutilated and burned amongst a joyous crowd of celebrating Fallujahans.?
If you want an apology from this American, you`re going to have a long wait! You have a better chance of finding those seventy-two virgins.?
