Airline Safety Made Easy

Here is a perfectly easy and inexpensive solution to terrorism in the skies and airline safey--NO CLOTHES!

Everybody on a commercial airliner MUST fly naked. In addition, all prostheses must be left in a locker at he departing airport and all travelers must take one of those pre-colonoscopy cocktails to evacuate any possible ballistic balloons.

Easy-peasy.

Can I be the airline safety czar now?

BTW, I see where our president is referring to the Islamic terrorist airline bomber as an "extremist."

Funny, isn't that the very same thing he calls pro-life, second amendment advocate, tax cut favoring conservatives?

Rejoice! in the Deeds of Christ

Dear fellow forgiven sinners,

Today's Gospel reading and sermon from Matthew 11 speaks to every Christian
who has ever gotten disgusted with the people at church. What Christian,
what pastor, hasn't had some variation of the following thought or
conversation?

"I'm not going to church anymore. A church should have better people. The
people there aren't very nice to me. They don't appreciate me, all they want
is my money. They're all a bunch of lazy hypocrites."

Yeah, so!? What else is new? Rejoice! and be forbearing because the Lord IS
at hand being forbearing of you, not holding your sin against you like you
hold it against others.

Rejoice! in the deeds of your Savior, Jesus Christ.

"You Don't Know What You've Got 'Til It's Gone"

The Swiss understand the importance of and reason behind the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. I wonder why U.S. citizens don't?



I guess it'll take a couple more 9/11s or confiscation by socialist tyrants to slap sense into our citizenry.

Would Joni Mitchell approve this message? :^)

Your Redemption Is Near
