One of those Emails

I usually hate getting one of those emails. But this one resonates with me.

I love Lady Liberty she is the best girl I know, and I will defend her with my dieing breath! Some people amaze my with the way they twist

"Andy Rooney says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for
singing a o-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin , but I
didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his
Theory of Evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered
because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So
what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the
entire Book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and
asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans
going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.
Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country founded on
Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian
churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would
you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a
Jewish prayer...

If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a
Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect to hear
someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome .....

But what about the atheists? Is another argument.

What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not
going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds..
If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs.
Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell
thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at
a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our
courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents
taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our
Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and
their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.

God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue
me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we tell that
one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority
doesn't care what they want. It is time that the majority Rules!
It's time we tell them, You don't have to pray; you don't have to
say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or
attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor
your right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights
away. We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!

God bless us one and all ... Especially those who denounce Him , God
bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest
nation of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect
our right to pray and worship God.


Let's make this the year the silent majority is heard and we put God
back as the foundation of our families and institutions . And our
military forces come home from all the wars."
