Yesterday was a great day outside, I stayed up for awhile durinig the day and then my son cut the back yard and picked up all the leaves.
I have started to get sick again. I have pressure building in my sinus’ and feel tightness in my chest again. Hopefully it won’t get as bad as last time.

CONGRESSMAN CONSIDERS MUSLIMS THE ENEMY
Can you believe some ASSTARD congressman has submitted a bill that would give the victims of the Fort Hood shootings the Purple Heart?
Yes, Congressman, John Carter, 31st Congressional District of Texas feels that it was an attack by an enemy on American troops on American soil.
As I see it, this ASSTARD is calling the American Army Major, Nidal Malik Hasanan, an enemy. Why? Because of his religious beliefs? Does Congressman Carter consider Muslims enemy’s now? How can an American be considered an enemy?
Carter said “As far as I’m concerned, this was an attack by an enemy upon American troops on American soil.” The bill “is about giving soldiers the benefits that other soldiers get when they are unfortunate enough to be killed or wounded in a combat zone.”
According to the Pentagon’s Manual of Military Awards, the Purple Heart is bestowed upon a service member or U.S. civilian serving under the military’s authority who “has been wounded, killed, or who has died or may hereafter die of wounds received” while in action against an enemy or in a terrorist attack.
****What a way to degrade the Purple Heart and all those who have received it in the past. Whats next, Medal of Honor’s for tour completions?****

ITS GOOD TO BE THE KING or DICTATOR
According to an advertisement placed by the agency, the women were to be “cute, between 18 and 35 years old, at least 1.70 meters (5 feet 7 inches) and well dressed. No mini-skirts or cleavage. On Sunday and Monday evenings, hundreds of women showed up. But instead of a discussion, they got a lecture with Gadhafi holding forth on the glories of Islam. The women were also invited to convert.
According to one participant at the event, as quoted by the Italian newswire Ansa, Gadhafi said: “You believe that Jesus was crucified, but that didn’t happen. God took him to the heavens. They crucified some guy who looked like him.”

ISRAEL CONTINUES TO DEFY INTERNATIONAL LAW
The US and UN have criticised Israel’s approval of 900 extra housing units at a Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem.
The planning and construction committee authorised the expansion of Gilo, which is built on land captured in 1967.
Settlements on occupied territory are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
Nearly 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built on occupied territory in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
****Its time to write your congressman and senator and tell them to stop supporting aid to Israel until Israel follows international law.****

Carter’s bill wouldn’t give them Purple Hearts, it would simply make them eligible. Hasan clearly was an enemy – he killed or wounded more than 50 people. That’s a nice guy to you?

I don’t believe I called him a “nice guy”.
What makes him an enemy? Because he shot people or his religion?
If its because he shot people, that means we have a lot of enemy’s in this country.
Purple Hearts should only go to those who receive combat related injuries.
