The Lean Cowboy Who Only Wanted a Drink...

A lean, rawboned cowboy rides into town; his gun is slung lower than is usual for a cattle man and the bottom of his holster is tied down to his leg with a leather thong. He walks into the towns’ only saloon and bellies up to the bar.

The bartender looks a question at him and he asks for a shot of Red Eye whiskey. The barkeep sets a shot glass in front of him and pours it full of the yellow liquid. The cowboy throws a quarter on the bar and picks up the glass and sips whiskey from it.

He looks around the barroom and sees no one or nothing that interests him. He stares into the shot glass, seeing nothing except the dim light reflecting off the cheap, yellow whiskey. He raises the glass to his lips, tips the glass quickly and swallows the rest.

He motions for another and puts another quarter on the bar. Just then, the bat wing doors open noisily and a short, stocky cowboy stomps in, obviously attempting to make as much noise as he can. He wants everyone to pay attention to him. He is a man who is very important to no one except himself, and he makes up for that unimportance with boisterous behavior.

He walks to the bar and gruffly orders a whiskey. The bartender grins at him and brings a bottle to set in front of him.

“How you doin’, Web,” he asks. The cowboy nods hello and picks up the bottle and pours a glass full of the whiskey and holds it up toward the first cowboy and says,”Lookin’ at ya’!"

The lean cowboy nods and picks up his own glass and sips from it.

“How about another,” he says to the lean cowboy.

“No thanks,” the man answers, “Two’s my limit.”

“Oh, hell, come on. I don’t like to drink alone. One more won’t hurt ya.’”

“Maybe next time,” says the lean cowboy, and he turns to go.

The stocky man steps in front of him and holds up a hand.

“Hold it, “says the stocky man, “I offered you a drink. I’d consider it an insult if you turn it down."

The lean cowboy looks directly into the eyes of the other man. “Please stand aside,” he says hesitantly. “I don’t want no trouble. I gotta go.”

The stocky man mistakes hesitancy for fear and steps toward the lean man. “You scared?” he asks. Maybe you shouldn’t have come in here. This is a mans’ bar and sissies ain’t welcome. Now, you’re gonna have a drink with me or I’m gonna plug you!”

The lean man stiffened and his eyes flashed. He saw that a couple more men had come into the bar and he could tell they were friends of the stocky man. The stocky man glanced at them and said, “Well, boys, are you ready for a show?”

The men smiled at that. They knew Web, the stocky man, was fast with a pistol; the fastest around here, for sure and they didn’t think the lean man would have much of a chance against him. “Sure, Web,” one of them said, “It might be fun!”

The stranger looked at Web. “I don’t want no trouble,” he said. He stepped to the side and started out but the stocky man stayed in front of him.

“You’re gonna have a drink with me or you ain’t leavin’ here”

“Mister,” the stranger said, “A drink ain’t worth dyin’ for.”

The stocky man’s hand dropped to his pistol. A shot rang out and the stocky man dropped to the floor, a bullet through his heart. His gun had barely cleared the holster.

The stranger looked at the men then toward the bartender.

“You all saw what happened, didn’t you?”

The bartender said he did and one of the other men said he did but the other man was silent.

“I didn’t see anything but that you picked a fight and drew first. Web was a friend of mine; just like a brother and I ain’t gonna let you get away with this.”

The stranger stiffened and faced the man. He had holstered his gun. Now his hand hovered near his pistol butt. He waited.

The man didn’t make a move. “I won’t do nothin’ right now,” he said. “I know you can beat me to the draw. I’ll get you, though, in my own time.”

The lean man realized what the man was saying and he asked. “You mean you’ll bushwhack me when I ain’t lookin? You’d ambush me?”

“You got it,” the man said. “You won’t see it comin’!”

The stranger looked at the bartender. “You saw what happened. Is this guy as good a friend to the guy as he says he is? Do you think he will lay for me?”

The bartender says he thinks the man will do what he says. He always has.

The stranger says, “I won’t look over my shoulder the rest of my life. Tell the law what you saw here.”

Then he drew his gun and shot the man dead.

“Now it’s done,” he said and he walked out the door, mounted his horse and rode away.

This will be a true story.

The lean man is Israel. The stocky man is Iran. The coward is Syria. What is the US?

I Was Just Thinking...

The Muslim bible, or holy book, the Koran-(Qur'an) says in the book, Dinner Table: "[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."

Pretty clear, eh? Muslims cannot be our friends. (us Christians and Jews, at least)

The Muslims hate us and want us to be dead or Muslim. That's what their holy book says. (You can look it up for yourself if that is important to you)

But, still, we are in the mid east, defending someone, we aren't sure who,- the Shiites or Sunnis, or whomever. We don't know. When it's all over for us there and we can say we have a victory (whatever that is) we'll come back home. (Like we did from Korea 50 odd years ago -'duh' - we're still there)

If or when we do come home and leave them to their own resources, they will still hate us and want us dead or Muslim.

I know I call this blog a place for 'opinions', but what I am saying now is not just an opinion, it's a fact.

We need to wake up to the fact that we will never be safe around Muslims,-Muhammad made sure of that before he died. That's the way he wanted this boloney ideology to be when he thought up his bullshit "religion".

Since we all know these things to be the truth, why then do we not just go ahead and finish defeating Iraq and make islam illegal there and take over that place and get it over with. It's either that or wait for another fifty or so years until the Muslims take over this country.

With cowards like President Bush running things, islam won't have any trouble taking over this nation. Bush is a 'one-worlder' and has proven he doesn't want the United States to be a sovereign nation anymore. That's why there is no double border fence to the south and the illegal immigrants will never be sent back.

And that is why his close friends, the rulers of OPEC, the Saudis are getting all of our money for their oil. It's crazy.

If we just move into Iraq seriously and conquer it, we will have our own oil. After all, even though we are fighting and dying for them, they still charge us full price for fuel for our tanks and jeeps! What a deal!

I Guess the Fat Is In the Fire...

I've just been to these placesin You Tube and I am absolutely amazed that Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee for ANYTHING!

I know..these are the places where most of Obama haters are but, after viewing and hearing the videos of him and what he does and WILL NOT DO, I'm not surprised.

If I did the links right, the first (these) one should take you to the video showing Obama refusing to salute (place his hand over his heart) while our National Anthem is being sung.

Oh, well, you say; so what? It indicates to me that Mr Obama has no respect for America,-he only wants power! What would he do if he actully won the nomination and became President? I shudder to think about it!

The next link (places)wonders why Obama cannot seem to get his story straight and it gives many examples about turn arounds he has made about different issues, in his own words.

All I can say is,-you really need to watch these videos before you decide to make this man the leader of the United States of America!

I dread having only Senator McCain as my Republican nominee but, compared to Senator Obama, McCain is a jewel!

Tell It Like It Is...Obama quits Trinity UCC...

Well, there it is. Mr Obama is finally quitting the United Trinity Church of Christ. (not a real Church of Christ) Now is he doing this for Jesus, because of the hatefilled rhetoric of the church's former pastor, Mr Wright, to defend the image of the House of God and defend the image of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; Or is he doing this to make himself a better candidate for the Presidency? Your guess is probably as good as his.

One time, after Muhammad and his band of killers conquered a small village and completely subdued it, a poet of that place wrote a not too complimentary poem about Muslim women. Muhammad was so pissed, he wanted that man dead but didn't want to do it himself so he axed his followers which of them would volunteer to murder the man who had offended Islam and him, the most holy prophet of allah.( He always called himself that so as to have an excuse to kill anyone he didn't like--or have it done)
A man said he'd do the job and he gave it a shot but the poet was a popular person and the would-be murdered couldn't get the fellow alone long enough to off him. He went back to the most holy prophet of allah and told him he needed to lie to the man and decieve him in order to get the murderee in a position to be murdered. The most holy prophet of allah said it would be all right to lie and decieve if it would help the cause of islam, the bull shit ideology Muhammad had thought up as a righteous way to kill Jews and Christians.

And so, with Muhammads' blessing, the follower of Muhammad lied to and decieved the innocent poet and got him alone and did, indeed, murder that man.

I know Barack Obama says he isn't a Muslim but his actions regarding his once beloved church and his now no longer beloved pastor, Mr Wright, the man who hates America, white people and rich people (who are white and that, of course, excludes him since he has used the church to become a zillionaire)make me wonder if he may be using whatever his religious conviction is to help him get into a position to make major color changes in this United States of America.

I ain't saying Obama is or isn't a Muslim but either wouldn't surprise me none.

And I cannot put much credence in what a man says who gives up what he has claimed to be his sacred religion just because, after twenty years of attending his church, he finally paid attention to a hate filled sermon and, in order to remain the demigod he has become to libs and dems, must denounce the church, the pastor and anyone else who stands in his way.

I wonder just exactly what goes on in the mind of a man who would chuck it all to be president of the United States of Black America! (He would never be mine!)
