REAL LIFE E-MAIL... FOR THE RECORD I DON'T THINK THIS

I thought the Jesus Christ show was on Sunday. I didn't know it was broadcast during the week and that you hosted it. What a revelation! How does it feel to be omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent? How does it feel to know all things to the point where you can judge other people and rejoice in things that God doesn't rejoice in. Oh that's right, you are god, my bad, I forgot. And here I thought that God didn't rejoice in the death of even the unrighteous. Must have been a typo.

You probably would have sentenced King David to death after he committed adultry with Bathsheba and then had her husband murdered when he found out she was pregnant. Maybe you would have cast the first stone. No? How about after he caused the death of 72,000 fellow Hebrews because of satan entering his heart and causing him to sin against God? Hmm. And here I thought you called him "a man after your own heart." What's up with that god?

Remember Manasah? Do you remember how you warned him and the people and they didn't listen? You taught him didn't you? He caused Israel to sin worse than any king of Israel and Judah before him. You were ticked!!!!! But you showed him didn't you? I bet you were high-fivin' all of the angels when you sent the armies of Assyria to teach him a lesson. That will teach him to sacrifice his children on the fire of the son's of Hinnom. Oh wait, then you had mercy of him. Hold up, what's up with that? And what about that Ahab dude? You showed him mercy at one point and he didn't do anything to deserve it? Okay, I'm confused. You are god, aren't you? You sure made yourself out to god Tuesday morning.

You've never had a loved one die for the sake of another, have you? A parent, a sibling, a wife, a daughter or a son? Probably not. Never even crossed your mind has it? It's no wonder, such thing are unbearable to comtemplate. Your only child, dying for....Hitler, Ghangus Khan, John Wayne Gacey, Osama Bin Laden and other "sinners." Oh but that's right, they're not just sinners, they are SINNERS! There's no comparison to their sin and yours. Oh I'm sorry, god, you have no sin, at least none worthy of note. Not like mine and the rest of humanity's. Jesus died for the liars, the thieves, the dope pushers, the junkies, and maybe for the Madoffs and the liberal democrats but NOT for the child molesters, the cop killers, terrorists, suicide bombers, abortionists, etc., etc., etc.

It must be great being you. Did you get your black robe tailored or does one size fit all in heaven? What's your gavel made of, oak or the cedars of Lebanon? I bet it's gold plated, just like your ark. That was your ark wasn't it?

Well god, I hope you don't strike with a lightening bolt for this email. I have to say though, you sure fooled me with that John 3:16 verse.

UPCOMING SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT

Next Wednesday, as soon as my radio show is over I will drive a few blocks to Mr. Biggs to briefly speak at the following event.
The following is from AFP:

In one week President Barack Obama will travel to Copenhagen, Denmark for the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference. It is almost certain the President will commit the United States to an energy rationing scheme that makes us accountable to U.N. bureaucrats, kills jobs here, dramatically raises the price of gasoline and electricity, and infringes on our personal and national freedoms -- all in the name of an unproven radical global warming ideology.

As part of AFP’s ongoing Hot Air Tour, Americans For Prosperity will be hosting a viewing party in Colorado Springs at The Event Center at Mr. Biggs, 5825 Mark Dabling Blvd., Colorado Springs of their Simulcast live from Copenhagen on the same day the President is there to make sure that the truth is told. Joining me will be Former Congressman Bob Beauprez and fellow KVOR talk-show host Jeff Crank
State Director, AFP-Colorado.

AFP President Tim Phillips and Director of Policy Phil Kerpen will be in Copenhagen hosting an event with Lord Monckton (to join the 3.5 million people who have seen his video detailing how our nation could be threatened by international climate agreements) and other European free-market leaders who will detail the hypocrisy of this U.N. conference and explain how cap-and-trade has killed jobs and raised energy prices in their nations.

All this will be Simulcast live to AFP – Colorado’s own Hot Air Tour event at 10:00 a.m. on December 9 th. Space is limited. Light refreshments will be served.
What : Hot Air Tour: Live from Copenhagen & Colorado Springs
Where: Event Center at Mr. Biggs, 5825 Mark Dabling Blvd., North Entrance, Colorado Springs.

Time : 10:00 a.m.
When: December 9, 2009
We're going to be in Copenhagen on December 9 with President Obama -- telling the real story and making sure our Senators see American citizens taking a stand against outsourcing U.S. energy policy to an international body.

Thomas W. Maher, 83, passed away Tuesday, November 17, 2009 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Tom was born August 15, 1926 in Brooklyn, New York to John and Helen (Schmidt) Maher.

He was a WWII Veteran, having served in the US Navy as a Gunners Mate aboard the USS Arkansas. He was actively involved in the community, giving his time to Cadets in the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, and serving as the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association Events Coordinator. He loved spending time with his family, participating in US Navy functions, and traveling. He was a beloved and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. His unexpected departure leaves the entire family with a tremendous hole in their hearts. All those that knew him will miss him. Cherished memories of Tom's jokes and laughter will remain in the hearts of his family and many, many, friends forever.

MY HERO

MY HERO. BAD DOG THREATENS FAMILY... DAD PROTECTS FAMILY. DAD KILLS BAD DOG. PROBLEM... PROBLEM SOLVED.

THE PHOTO IS FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES... "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD"... THE ACTOR... GREGORY PECK a/k/a "Atticus Finch"

Thanks to all for the info on the rifle. Amazing what you guys and lady can tell from just looking at a gun.


------------------------------------------------------

Richard,
The rifle is a Krag-Jorgensen model 1892, 96 or 98 that has been sporterized by cutting back the front stock. It's harder to pin down the exact variant with out very close examination, as the easiest visible changes between the models were the woodwork and placement of the cleaning rod.
Caliber is .30-40 Krag.
