HOCKENDOOTIE'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY



                                                                  




The quality of a man is measured by the friends he keeps.


The look on women's faces , when a man does something totally stupid, is priceless!

When our government spends billions on a so-called "war on drugs" then distributes methadone to addicts, what 's wrong with that picture?

Instead of insisting upon the rule of law, both our disreputable Congress and our non-credible President have decided to reward MEXICAN
CRIMINALS-  who are all scofflaws of the most egregious kind,  and who take away Americans' wealth, property-rights and jobs- with AMERICAN
CITIZENSHIP?

IT'S IRONIC THAT WE  BEAT THE GERMANS IN TWO WARS AND THE JAPANESE IN ONE WAR, YET BOTH COUNTRIES MAKE BETTER
AUTOMOBILES THAN WE DO?

THE "A.P.I." HAS BEEN THE PROPAGANDA ARM FOR THE AMERICAN OIL INDUSTRY FOR  HALF A CENTURY OR  MORE.  WITH THE ENORMOUS
PROFITS RECENTLY ACCRUED FROM EXPLOITIVE PROFITS [CLAIMING WORLD CRUDE OIL PRICES ARE THE CAUSE],  THERE ARE BILLIONS
THAT CAN BE SPENT ON NEW REFINERIES, NEW GULF OIL RIGS AND EXPLORATION, THAT YET AWAIT BEING DONE!  

HOW HYPOCRITICAL CAN IT BE, FOR  CONGRESS TO CUT SPENDING BY CURTAILING "ENTITLEMENT" PROGRAMS  
IN THE BUDGET," THAT
AMERICANS HAVE COME  TO DEPEND UPON, WHILE - AT THE SAME TIME-  VOTING FOR HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF NEW SPENDING [ AT
BUSH'S REQUEST]  
OUTSIDE BUDGET LIMITS   [ CALLED:"EMERGENCY APPROPRIATIONS?"

SPENDING MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED BILLION TAX-DOLLARS "NATION-BUILDING" IRAQ"  AN ELEVENTH-CENTURY COUNTRY OF
ILLITERATE MUSLIMS, WHO -FOR CENTURIES - "ELECT" THEIR POLITICAL LEADERS BY ASSASSINATION?  AND ATTEMPTING TO CALL
IT:"FIGHTING TERRORISM?" AND, PILING ONE LIE ON TOP OF ANOTHER, TO JUSTIFY HIS INITIAL MISTAKE, INVADING IRAQ, BUSH JR. HAS
DISMANTLED OUR OWN CONSTITUTION IN THE PROCESS .

HOW MUCH MORE EVIDENCE DOES BUSH JR. NEED THAT "O.P.E.C." COUNTRIES MUST BE HEAVILY SANCTIONED, AND THEIR CARTEL  
PERMANENTLY DESTROYED?  HE SANCTIONED SYRIA, FOR ARMING IRAQIS?  IS IRAQ MORE IMPORTANT THAN AMERICA TO HIM? CONGRESS
SHOULD IMMEDIATELY SEND LEGISLATION TO BUSH TO SIGN, WHICH REMOVES "M.F.N." TREATMENT AND ANY AND ALL SUBSIDIES TO THE
FOLLOWING "O.P.E.C." COUNTRIES, AND LEVIES HUGH TARIFFS ON ANY EXPORTS AND IMPORTS - OTHER THAN - OIL. UNTIL THEY DISBAND
THEIR CARTEL:

ALGERIA
INDONESIA
IRAN
IRAQ [DIRECT THAT ALL OIL SHIPMENTS BE SENT TO AMERICA FROM NOW ON. ]
KUWAIT
LIBYA
NIGERIA
QATAR
SAUDI ARABIA
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES [WITHDRAW ALL FORMAL TIES WITH THEIR "PRINCES!"]
VENEZUELA
THIS CARTEL IS ENDANGERING AMERICA'S "NATIONAL SECURITY" AND CONCERNS MOSTLY MUSLIM COUNTRIES, A RELIGION WHICH
ADVOCATES KILLING CHRISTIANS!

BUSH JR. HAS MANAGED TO TURN CENTRAL-GOVERNMENT AND THE CONSTITUTION UPSIDE DOWN!  HE INVADES NON-BELLIGERENT
COUNTRIES,  AT WILL [THEN LIES ABOUT HIS REASONS] , SIGNS LEGISLATION CANCELING OUT THE BILL OF RIGHTS!  "NATION-BUILDS"
4TH-WORLD MUSLIM COUNTRIES, CLAIMING TO "FREE" THEM BY OVERTHROWING THEIR GOVERNMENTS!   INVADES THEIR COUNTRIES,
USING UN-UNCONSTITUTIONALLY-funded MERCENARIES?   TWO ILLITERATE  MUSLIM COUNTRIES , WHOSE VERY RELIGION PREVENTS THE
EXISTENCE ANY SIMILAR "DEMOCRACY" KNOWN IN AMERICA. [THAT REQUIRES A PROTESTANT-CHRISTIAN RELIGION!]?  IT'S AS IF
AMERICA'S CONGRESS, PRESIDENT AND SUPREME COURT EXIST IN SOME SORT OF PERVERTED DREAM WORLD!  WHERE UP IS DOWN, AND
BLACK IS WHITE! A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS!

NOTICE THE PARSING OF WORDS BY BUSH JR. AND HIS "ADMINISTRATION?"  JAILED IRAQIS AREN'T CALLED "PRISONERS OF WAR," BUT
"DETAINEES," OR "ENEMY COMBATANTS?" HIGHLIGHTING THE FACT THAT NEITHER AFGHANISTAN NOR IRAQ'S INVASIONS CONSTITUTE
"WARS" [AND CAN'T, SINCE CONGRESS NEVER DECLARED WAR AGAINST EITHER COUNTRY] !

AMERICA IS AND WAS A PROTESTANT-CHRISTIAN COUNTRY!

The Founding of the United States of America

Please share this with everyone. If your friends don't have E-mail make copies and hand or mail it to them. This is Soooo important.

Thought this was VERY interesting.....Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and
import 20,000 copies of Scripture for the people of this nation.

Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American

Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death"; but in current textbooks the context of these words is omitted.
Here is what he actually said: "An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God
that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price
of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."

These sentences have been erased from our textbooks. Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote this: "It cannot be
emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote in the front of his well-worn Bible: "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines
of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our creator." He was also the chairman of the American Bible
Society, which he considered his highest and most important role. On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, "The highest glory of the American
Revolution was

this: "It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil Government with the principles of Christianity."

Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States

reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, "The foundations of our

society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would
cease to be practically universal in our country."

In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution:

"The Congress of the United States recommends and approves

the Holy Bible for use in all schools." William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our
public schools, with over 125 million copies sold, until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him the "Schoolmaster of the Nation."

Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: "The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our nation, on the character of God,
on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free Institutions. From no source has the author
drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred Scriptures. For all these extracts from the Bible, I make no apology."

Of the first 108 universities founded in America, 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first, Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original
Harvard Student Handbook, rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they

could study the Scriptures: "Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies, is to
know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life, John 17:3; and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation for our children to follow the
moral principles of the Ten Commandments."

James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the

United States, said this: "We have staked the whole future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern
ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments."

Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks. Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our country's
Christian roots. You are encouraged to share this with others, so that the truth of our nation's history will be told. This information shared is only a
drop of cement to help secure a foundation that is crumbling daily in a losing war that most of the country doesn't even know is raging on, in, and
around them....

Please share this with as many as possible......thank you and may God bless you and yours!

THERE WAS A VERY GOOD REASON FOR KEEPING THE C.I.A OUT OF AMERICA'S BOUNDARIES AND KEEPING THE F.B.I. OUT OF FOREIGN
ESPIONAGE!  EACH AGENCY OPERATES UNDER ENTIRELY DIFFERENT RULES! BUSH JR,'S MERGING THE TWO IN A GIANT NATIONAL
SECRET POLICE AGENCY, EUPHEMISTICALLY CALLED "THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND DEFENSE," MAKES AMERICA A DANGEROUS
PLACE TO LIVE NOW! AS EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN IS A "TERRORIST" SUSPECT,  SUBJECT TO SECRET INVESTIGATIONS AND
SURVEILLANCE, AND WARRANTS AND "PROBABLE CAUSE" LIMITATIONS ARE NOW IRRELEVANT!  AMAZINGLY, BUSH JR. WANTS THE
"PATRIOT ACT" -WHICH PERMITS THIS INFRINGEMENT-  "RE-AUTHORIZED?"

THE FACT THAT "THE POLLS" ARE EVENLY DIVIDED BETWEEN AN UNKNOWN [KERRY] AND AN INCUMBENT PRESIDENT, IN AN ELECTION
YEAR, SPELLS DOOM FOR BUSH JR.   SADLY, HIS DADDY MADE ALL THE SAME MISTAKES JR. IS MAKING. NEITHER IS SMART ENOUGH TO
KNOW BETTER! BOTH SOCIALISTS,  THEY MISTAKENLY ABANDONED THE REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVE BASE, FOR [WHAT THEY THOUGHT
WAS] THE "CENTRISTS."  WHO ARE A GAGGLE OF MARXISTS, ATHEISTS, SOCIALISTS AND  "UNDECIDED" SOCIALIST-DUMMYCRATS!  ALL,
WHO NEVER HAD ANY INTENTION FOR VOTING FOR ANY REPUBLICAN!  NEVER MIND ALL THE SOCIALIST, ANTI-GUN, AND PRO-CLINTON
LEGISLATION JR. SIGNED INTO LAW!  BUSH SR. GAVE US CLINTON; JR. IS GIVING US KERRY!

ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF POLITICIANS CREATING "WARS" USING INCREDIBLY BAD JUDGMENT, LIES AND HALF-TRUTHS, THEN....WHEN
CITIZENS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE "WAR," THEY RAISE A BIG STINK ABOUT "NOT SUPPORTING THE TROOPS?"  IT'S THE HEIGHT OF
DUPLICITY, COWARDICE AND SKULDUGGERY!  THE LAST CENTURY AND THIS ONE, AMERICANS HAVE WITNESSED SO MANY "PRESIDENTIAL
WARS," [NEVER YET DECLARED BY CONGRESS, AS THE CONSTITUTION REQUIRES!!!] IN WHICH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
HAVE BEEN KILLED!!! SO FAR...NOT A SINGLE ONE HAS BEEN EITHER JUST OR NECESSARY! MAY THOSE PRESIDENTS RESPONSIBLE ROT IN
HELL!

THIS OFF THE INTERNET:

John Kerry, man of the common folk.... he understands your pain, really?  Check this out:

The many homes of Democrat Presidential candidate, John F. Kerry:

Fox Chapel, Pennsylvania? (Assessed value: $3.7 million)

Ketchum, Idaho ski getaway/vacation home? (Assessed value: $4.916 million)

Washington, D.C - Georgetown area (assessment: $4.7 million)

Nantucket, Massachusetts waterfront retreat on Brant Point (Assessed value: $9.18 million)

Boston, Massachusetts? - Beacon Hill home (Assessed value: $6.9)

Oh, and he sold this estate in Italy to activist actor George Clooney, just before announcing his running for president. I guess he thought it might not
sit well with the common man.? ($7.8 million)

Other foreign property ownership by John Kerry is unknown... because he denied repeated requests for this information.

Class warfare is not right, but neither is being a hypocrite. This man wants to be our president, while claiming that he relates to Joe-6-pack and the
common man. He wants to raise income taxes on the rich, well, guess what?  He won't pay those taxes because he is already rich!  He wants to
make it harder for you to get rich by raising taxes on your income! Talk about snobbery and protecting his "class"?


Nice to be rich, isn't it? But, as with all Socialist-Dummycrats, they palaver the Marxist line! Dividing Americans into two classes: The proletariat
[working class] and the bourgeoisie [ privileged wealthy]. "Crazy Karl" called his political/economic theory: dialectical-materialism. But, you know all
that stuff.

Bottom line: Kerry is typical of the "limousine-liberals" who decry "the rich" while they direct their chauffeur to drive them to another one of their
mansions!


Well, it's happening!  Don't be so surprised! Iraq is quickly becoming another Viet Nam!  Locals took almost a year to get together with their private
militias to harass, attack, and kill the hated American occupiers of their country. Superior military technology and air-power mean nothing!  The
Pentagon generals don't care! After all, the sole justification for hundreds of billions of tax dollars funnelled their direction, every year, is to create
wars! They copied the French disaster [down to the letter!] in Indo China, they are imitating the Russian's failed occupation of Afghanistan, and are
doing the exact same thing , now, in Iraq! "Pacification" and "democratizing" and crafting a "constitution" [Iraq has had one since 1925!] are all
Bush Jr.s' political eye-wash! Yugoslavia is still in occupied chaos; so is Haiti. The half-century lull in the Truman Korean War continues!   He
desperately wants that "commander in chief" image for his re-election persona. Americans are saps!  Just as the Germans were in the 1930s.

Re your query about "Raptor," it's a program that the F.B.I. has,  that will get into your hard drive and download your e-mail and anything else, as
long as you are connected to the Internet and an ISP that allows such snooping. [AOL,COMPUSERVE do]   It's done in the background , so you
don't know it's operating on your computer. That little hourglass on your cursor, may be the only telltail.

As if that isn't scary enough, another program called "Green Lantern" can actually download your posts AS YOU ARE TYPING THEM!  It doesn't
have to wait for a complete post to download. It can actually intercept your posts as you are typing them! Thanks to "the patriot Act," spying on
American citizens is wide open now, since no warrants or court orders are necessary, since "probable cause" has flown out the window.

What a terrible price we are paying so Bush Jr. can  [in his own mind] "fight terrorism."   Osama Bin Laden, must be smiling from ear to ear!


A non-judgmental society , favored by women and Communists, leaves a society in chaos! Rules and  personal responsibilities are necessary for
peace, order and productivity.  Neither want to accept personal responsibility for themselves or their actions. It's why, universally, both groups go
searching for something or someone else to blame!

There is increasing evidence that Osama Bin Laden has been hiding in Pakistan for some time now, but neither American mercenaries, nor the
Pakistani "army" has tracked him down?  At this late date, what could Bush Jr. have been thinking?  He has let little Donnie Rumsfeld make a hash
out of Afghanistan and Iraq!  Invading both, to "change their national governments?"  And install puppet governments no one voted for, who ratify
"constitutions" most of their populations can't even read?  And "Pentagon" generals!  They keep making the same dumb mistakes!  Doing the same
stupid things the French did in Viet Nam, and now imitating the Russian's failed efforts in Afghanistan?  Clearly this highlights the  best reason to
abolish this WWII hold-over, whose sole purpose left today ,  is to find "wars" to fight  [ given that Congress finances a "standing army" in violation
of the Constitution!] !

IT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE TO PRESIDENT BUSH JR. AND TO CONGRESS AND TO "THE CLINTON SUPREME COURT," WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
WIDESPREAD  GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION HAS REACHED THE POINT THAT CITIZENS CAN NO LONGER TOLERATE IT!      HAITI, HAS BEEN
TRYING TO RID ITSELF OF COMMUNIST ARISTIDE FOR A DECADE, BUT BETWEEN "FIXED" ELECTIONS AND CLINTON'S LOVE OF
COMMUNISTS, THE MARXIST IS HANGING ON?    THE OPEN QUESTION NOW SURFACES:   WILL BUSH JR. IMITATE CLINTON AND RESCUE THIS
LEFTIST SKANKOROID ONE MORE TIME?

HOPEFULLY, OUR NEXT PRESIDENT WILL RIGHT ALL THE WRONGS OF THE CLINTON "ADMINISTRATION" THAT THE CURRENT ONE IGNORES!
