This was sent to me by a fellow Canadian. We are concerned about your country`s direction too!!


If you place a frog in a pot of

boiling water, it will immediately try to scramble out. But

if you place the frog in room temperature water, and

don`t scare him, he`ll stay put. Now, if the pot

sits on a heat source, and if you gradually turn up the

temperature, something very interesting happens. As the

temperature rises from 70 to 80 degrees F., the frog will do

nothing. In fact, he will show every sign of enjoying

himself. As the temperature gradually increases, the frog

will become groggier and groggier, until he is unable to

climb out of the pot. Though there is nothing restraining

him, the frog will sit there and boil. Why? Because the

frog`s internal apparatus for sensing threats to

survival is geared to sudden changes in his environment, not

to slow, gradual changes”

.This is worth reading, however it

will upset you.ALL Of A Sudden....Seven Short

Years Have Passed!Before Obama, There was virtually

no outlandish presence of Islam in

America.• All of a sudden, Islam is

taught in schools. Christianity and the bible are banned in

schools.• All of a sudden we must allow

prayer rugs everywhere and allow for Islamic prayer in

schools, airports, and businesses.• All of a sudden we must stop

serving pork in prisons.• All of a sudden we are

inundated with law suits by Muslims who are offended by

American culture.• All of a sudden we must allow

burkas to be worn everywhere even though you have no idea

who or what is covered up under them.• All of a sudden Muslims are

suing employers and refusing to do their jobs if they

personally deem it conflicts with Sharia

Law.• All of a sudden the Attorney

General of the United States vows to prosecute anyone who

engages in `anti-Muslim

speech`.• All of a sudden, Jihadists

who engage in terrorism and openly admit they acted in the

name of Islam and ISIS are emphatically declared they are

NOT Islamic by our leaders and/or their actions are

determined NOT to be terrorism, but other nebulous terms

like `workplace violence."• All of a sudden, it becomes

Policy that Secular Middle East dictators that were benign

or friendly to the West, must be replaced by Islamists and

the Muslim Brotherhood.• All of a sudden our troops

are withdrawn from Iraq and the middle east, giving rise to

ISIS.• All of a sudden, America has

reduced its nuclear stockpiles to 1950 levels, as

Obama`s stated goal of a nuke-free America by the time

he leaves office continues

uninterrupted.• All of a sudden, a deal with

Iran must be made at any cost, with a pathway to nuclear

weapons and HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars handed over to

fund their programs.• All of a sudden America

APOLOGIZES to Muslim states and sponsors of terror worldwide

for acts of aggression, war, and sabotage THEY perpetrate

against our soldiers.• All of a sudden, the American

Navy is diminished to 1917 Pre-World War I levels Of only

300 ships. The Army is at pre-1940 levels. The Air Force

scraps 500 planes and planned to retire the use of the A-10

Thunderbolt close air support fighter. A further draw down

of another 40,000 military personnel is in

progress.• All of a sudden half of our

aircraft carriers are recalled for maintenance by Obama

rendering the Atlantic unguarded, NONE are in the Middle

East .• All of a sudden Obama has to

empty Guantanamo Bay of captured Jihadists and let them

loose in Jihad-friendly Islamic states. He demands to close

the facility.• All of a sudden America will

negotiate with terrorists and trade FIVE Taliban commanders

for a deserter and Jihad sympathizer.• All of a sudden there is no

money for American poor, disabled veterans, jobless

Americans, hungry Americans, or displaced Americans but

there is endless money for Obama`s "Syrian

refugee" resettlement Programs.• All of sudden there is an

ammunition shortage in the USA.• All of a sudden, the most

important thing for Obama to do after a mass shooting by two

Jihadists, is disarm American citizens.• All of a sudden, the

President of the United States cannot attend the Christian

funerals of a Supreme Court Justice and a former First Lady

because of previous (seemingly unimportant)

commitments.

All of a sudden, I’m sick to my stomach. I’m not sure

the majority of Americans recognize the seriousness of the

situation and how much “progress” has been made by Islam

these last 7 years, a very brief time compared to a 75 year

lifetime!
 
This whole thing starts off with something that`s wrong; that frog not jumping out of boiling water is a myth: Frog Fable Brought to Boil - Conservation

I can`t believe I have to do this, but let me just preface this with the disclaimer that I`m not voting for Hillary. These kinds of email chains are a pet peeve of mine because they`re usually wrong and just made to rile people up.

Just to take this line by line:

Before Obama there was virtually no outlandish presence of Islam in America.

What is an "outlandish presence of Islam"? Before Obama(2007) there was 2.35 million according to this poll: Muslim Americans: Middle Class and Mostly Mainstream | Pew Research Center. It`s now 3.3 million.
A new estimate of the U.S. Muslim population | Pew Research Center Oh god, a .07 increase? Someone help. It is still very much a minority.
All of a sudden, Islam is taught in schools.
Christianity and the bible are banned in schools.

Sure? Of course Islam is taught in some schools. So is Judaism, Christianity, Catholicism, and numerous other religions. The author of this is trying to imply that it`s forced or something, when in reality there have always been places that will cater to whatever type of learning you want. It`s part of what makes America what it is. The constitution expressly forbids government backed institutions from both teaching of religion in public schools and by interfering with the right of individuals to practice their religion. This works for every religion, not just the one people want to be upset about. Private schools can teach whatever they want.

All of a sudden we must stop serving pork in prisons.

Says who? There is no law I know of that stops this. There are some states(Florida) who require prisons to provide kosher meals, which is also for Jewish prisoners. If you can find this law, please let me know.

All of a sudden we are inundated with law suits by Muslims who are offended by American culture.

This is incredibly vague. You can sue anyone for anything in America - doesn`t mean you will win! Just because the media or people pay specific attention to whatever the hot item is at the moment(Islamic backlash) doesn`t mean it`s more prevalent. I`m positive you could find 100 stupid court cases right now that you could take offense to that has nothing to do with Islam.

All of a sudden the Attorney General of the United States vows to prosecute anyone who engages in "anti-Muslim speech".

Yeah, this was pretty stupid. She also took those comments back(Lynch recalibrates message on hateful speech - POLITICO) and probably meant anyone who incites violence would be prosecuted. Not unreasonable, but unfortunate that we have to make this into something.

All of a sudden, our troops are withdrawn from Iraq and the middle east, giving rise to ISIS.

The government of Iraq(that we set up) stipulated that any US troops who stayed would be subjected to Iraqi laws. This forced our hand and was a decision made before Obama even took office. This situation isn`t even close to being this simple.

All of a sudden, America has reduced its nuclear stockpiles to 1950 levels,
Obama`s stated goal of a nuke-free America by the time he leaves office continues uninterrupted.

Studies have shown that a mere 100 small nuclear explosions would be perfectly sufficient to make Earth uninhabitable. What is the purpose of having thousands of them? Also, pretty sure the majority of our reduction was not at Obama`s hand. This was being done before he took office. Also, from all the figures I could find we had like 300 nukes in 1950. We have around 6k now. Not even close.

Obama called for a nuke free world, not just America. Huge difference. - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/apr/05/nuclear-weapons-barack-obama


I cannot possibly continue going through these because I`ve already wasted like 30 minutes doing this. This is just a nonsensical chain email. I`m sure there`s ones out there with a super bad liberal bias too, but come on.
 
This is really getting under my skin this morning. Go to your local news station`s website and see how many negative stories they have compared to positive ones. Here are some of mine:


The media is the problem with the world and I will take that to my grave. Too much value is placed on shock and horror and keeping everybody in line.

My grandpa gets free tickets to Cardinals games and he won`t use them this year for any games that are at night because of how "dangerous" St. Louis is. I ask how he knows and he says "Don`t you watch the news?"

Unbelievable.
 
There is some truth to this, not all but some.

This is what the democrats do they, they keep eroding away at a target (Usually civil rights). Islam has grown in presence over the past 8 years, there is no denying that. The democrats over reach on judicial power is undeniable. The blatant lies to the american people, cover ups and obvious contempt towards this countries founding values has certainly not gone unnoticed.

I completely agree with this, the media is horrific. Again though, there is some truth and it does take two to tango.

There is one problem I have. There is never any condemnation of "extremism" that runs rampant across the globe by the religion that professes to be a religion of peace. If the people of Islam want to truly be viewed in a great light, it is absolutely imperative that they not only denounce horrific acts committed in the name of their faith but take steps to actually stop it.

I completely agree. It`s very easy to say "Violence is bad." like so many people do after an attack or something but there need to be concrete steps taken by the entirety of the religion in an effort to ferret out those who are using it for horrific acts.
 
I mean honestly, Detailing is like another faith to me. When see cheap detailers destroy cars I want take away their polisher and beat them with it...

If that was my faith I`d be pretty perturbed to say the least, just sayin...


I`m no fan of wool pad Rotary extremism!
 
FWIW, the Muslims in my area *do* speak out against violence, Radical Extremism, and interpretations of the Koran that espouse hatred. I don`t see what else they`re supposed to do...how can some people living in Ohio stop other people from doing violent stuff? What "steps" should some Dentist/Accountant/Truck Driver from a Midwestern town take to stop Violent Extremism?

And just for the Record- I`m no fan of Islam.

As for the News, of course they say the Sky is Falling, that sells. I`m surprised anybody takes the Big Threat of the Day stuff seriously.
 
We should be reducing the number of troops we have in our standing Army. Wars are not fought in the same manner they were 100 years ago. The only reason we need more troops would be to occupy land. Do we actually want to pay far another war and pay the price for occupying another country? The US has 10 aircraft carriers more than the rest of the world combined! They are also larger, twice as large as any other country. No country worldwide comes close to matching the US in military expenditure. In 2014 spending reached 571 billion compared to number two China at 129.4 billion. Numbers don`t lie. Don`t be fooled by Internet trash. Do your own research.

THAT.

If you`re gonna invest in something (e.g., care), do some real research. (Not directed at any side of any argument, let alone any poster here.)

Eh, I suppose it`s easy to, uhm...distract oneself with [awful stuff you can`t do anything about anyhow] instead of TCB.
