A sign at a business establishment in Philadelphia, PA:
"WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 AL QAEDA TERRORISTS THAN WITH A
SINGLE AMERICAN"
Doesn't that just make you see red???
This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in
Philadelphia. You are probably outraged at the thought of such an
inflammatory statement. One would think that anti-hate groups from all
across the country would be marching on this business... And that the
National Guard might have to be called to keep the angry crowds back. But,
perhaps in these stressful times one might be tempted to let the proprietors
simply make their statement . . . We are a society who holds Freedom of
Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty . . . And after all, it is just a
sign. You may ask what kind of business would dare post such a sign?

The urban legend emerges again.....
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both boldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

A few day's after George W. Bush's inauguration, a man came up to
the uniformed Marine on duty at the White House and said, "I'd like
to see President Clinton."
The Marine politely answered, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer
president."
The man said, "Oh, O.K.," and walked away. The next day the Marine
was again on duty and the same man approached and again asked to see
President Clinton. The Marine again answered, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is
no longer president."
Again, the man answered, "Oh, O.K." and walked away. The next day
the same man approached the same Marine and again asked to see
President Clinton. The Marine, a little annoyed, said, "Sir, I've
told you, Mr. Clinton is no longer president. Is there something in
that that you fail to understand?"
"No, I do understand" said the man, "But I just enjoy hearing you
say it."
The Marine smiled and said "See you tomorrow."
Amen,
I thought this was the jokes thread,

During Desert Storm, American soldiers came upon a patch of desert that was covered with blood and indicated a great deal of violence had taken place. They followed the trail behind a hill and found an American and Iraqui soldier in terrible condition. The Iraqui was dead, the American nearly so.
"What happened?" they asked.
"I was coming around the hill," the soldier said, "When the Iraqui soldier jumped out with a knife. He shouted 'Clinton is an idiot!' I shouted back, 'So is Saddam Hussein.' We were shaking hands when a bomb dropped."
