I'm surprised this counter-occupier is still breathing.  I'd send him a dollar.

GIVING THANKS TO THE TRUE PROVIDER

PSALM 136

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good,
   For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods,
   For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
   For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
4 To Him who alone does great wonders,
   For His lovingkindness is everlasting;
5 To Him who made the heavens with skill,
   For His lovingkindness is everlasting;
6 To Him who spread out the earth above the waters,
   For His lovingkindness is everlasting;
7 To Him who made the great lights,
   For His lovingkindness is everlasting:
8 The sun to rule by day,
   For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
9 The moon and stars to rule by night,
   For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
10 To Him who smote the Egyptians in their firstborn,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
11 And brought Israel out from their midst,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
12 With a strong hand and an outstretched arm,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

13 To Him who divided the Red Sea asunder,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
14 And made Israel pass through the midst of it,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting;
15 But He overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
16 To Him who led His people through the wilderness,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting;
17 To Him who smote great kings,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
18 And slew mighty kings,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting:
19 Sihon, king of the Amorites,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
20 And Og, king of Bashan,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
21 And gave their land as a heritage,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting,
22 Even a heritage to Israel His servant,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
23 Who remembered us in our low estate,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting,

24 And has rescued us from our adversaries,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting;
25 Who gives food to all flesh,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
26 Give thanks to the God of heaven,
     For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

THOU SHALT NOT PROSPER...

If you enjoy this poster, jot on over to American Thinker and read T.S. Weidler's essay on your 15 Trillion Dollar indebtedness:  It may make you weep.  Be sure to properly thank Messrs. Obama, Kerry, and Reid, and Madames Pelosi, Murray, Jackson Lee, and Feinstein, among others, come November, 2012:

THE GREEN THING

In the line at the store, the cashier told an older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.  The woman apologized to him and explained, "We didn't have the green thing back in my day."
The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment."
He was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.

Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.
We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.

Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that old lady is right; we didn't have the green thing back in our day.

Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana . In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right; we didn't have the green thing back then.
We drank water from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn't have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?


Please pass on this post  to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smarta$$ young liberal.

"Christian Roots" of American Thanksgiving.

THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT, PLYMOUTH, MA, 1620


In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are under-written, the loyal subjects of our dread sovereign Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland King, Defender of the Faith, etc. Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one of another, covenant and combine our selves together into a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape Cod, the eleventh of November [New Style, November 21], in the year of the reign of our sovereign lord, King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Anno Dom. 1620


Seems that the common faith of the Mayflower pilgrims, beyond dispute, was Christianity. More to follow.
