Our War Within

It seems the country is under attack from several directions at once and some of the threats are aimed at our freedom--aimed at our right to choose our road to happiness and security.
One of those threats, to which Americans have not yet awakened, is the Shariah law of the Muslims.
Insidiously, it has worked its way into our country and, in several cities, is imposing it's unconstitutional laws upon American citizens.

If this had been announced by a country, we would have noticed, but since it has been announced by a cleric--an imam--we ignore it as just another braggadocio claim of a right wing entity.

It's not--and we had better take it seriously, because their aim is to subject all western cultures under their rule.

And that very fact should tell you this "religion" is not a religion, but is a cult--an ideology foreign to our constitution. Their "religion" is based on "blind faith". Either follow the rules, or be killed. There's little choice.

It's time for us to rise up in our own defense.
We are in a fight which, for once, will be fought on our own soil!

Here are two articles borrowed from another site, which will better explain our war.

EXCLUSIVE: CRUEL AND USUAL PUNISHMENT: THE TERRIFYING GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS OF ISLAMIC LAW
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.2207/pub_detail.asp

January 8, 2009 - The Editors
In her latest book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law, author Nonie Darwish paints a chilling description of what lies ahead for Western civilizations that continue down the road of political correctness and appeasement as Islamic (Shariah) law creeps its way into free societies across the globe. Darwish, who was born in Cairo, and moved as a child to Gaza with her family, was raised Muslim – her father founding Palestinian fedayeen units which launched terrorist raids across Israel’s southern border.

Demoting Islam's Religion Status

I stole this from The Steady Drip! It’s so important, I had to do it! I know---I’m a thief, but I think Sam will forgive me, in this case!
I've been raving about this for some time, now. The Muslim "religion" is not a religion, it's a cattle call answered by steers. It's a city of lemmings going over the cliff.
Although it could be a herd of democrats hiding behind their political correctness.


Demoting Islam’s Religion Status

Martel Sobieskey
March 21, 2009
Faith Freedom International

One thing is certain, Islam is not a religion by anything Americans believe one to be - not even close. In fact, Islam is the antithesis of what we deem to be religious. Above all, Islam is a totalitarian political machine of blood thirsty conquest which zealously advocates the downfall of the U.S. government. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world…” because he was 100% non-political. In extreme contrast, Mohammed and the Koran bellicosely command YOUR KINGDOM IS MY KINGDOM, surrender or die! Let’s be to the point. It is sheer madness, exceedingly irresponsible, criminally negligent, and strategically suicidal to continue granting religion status to an absolutely aggressive and implacable ideology that demands the destruction of our government and all other religions.

It is well past time, the truthful facts be told about Islam. Our leadership and intelligence community have lied and lied again, referring to Islam as a religion of peace. If Islam is to be categorized as a religion - then it must be called what it truthfully is - A RELIGION OF WAR. Unfortunately our leadership has become so inept, they have chosen to be in denial of this obvious fact, and entertain fanciful notions - that by calling a “blood thirsty tiger” a “bunny rabbit” it will magically transform into one.

This means, we now have America’s Sugar Plum Fairy National Security Policy: All of the Islamofascists can be won over by simply labeling them “friends”. How dare we even utter the word enemy, that might upset them. We now have a national security mantra: Islam is perfect! Islam is perfect! Islam is perfect!

The purpose of this article is to introduce that Islam’s religion status is undeserving, that it should never have been granted in the first place, and that it’s religion status should be immediately rescinded.

Why? Because Islam whether you call it moderate, militant, main stream, traditional or radical is a relentless foe inherently programmed to conqueror its host nation. Fail to understand this point and Islam will continue “trashing” civil liberties, shedding bloody pandemonium, wreaking havoc, litigating as warfare, demanding special privileges, and instigating anarchy until its host country suffers irreparable harm if not outright defeat. Such is the virulent modus operandi being used by Islam in England, Spain, India, France, Thailand, Holland, Bali, Lebanon, Denmark, Sweden, Philippines, Russia, America and elsewhere.

Perhaps, this is why Dr. Paul Williams author of “The Dunes of Doomsday” so truthfully and valiantly states in Chapter 1 “Refusing to Identify the Enemy”:


“The enemy is Islam. Not a fringe group within the body of believers … Not radical Islam as if a faction can be separated from the “mainstream” Islam. But Islam itself, as expressed by the life and teachings of Muhammad …”


An Imposter Religion

To put it bluntly Islam’s religion status should be rescinded because it is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a Trojan horse, an imposter religion that has arrived on our shore with malicious intent, deathly determined to replace our constitution with the Koran, and turn America into an Islamic nation controlled by Sharia law. Robert Spencer in his excellent book, “Stealth Jihad” (How Radical Islam Is Subverting America Without Guns or Bombs), explains how so-called moderate Islam is having greater success at invading America than its counterpart militant Islam. Shockingly, one may rightly conclude that America is now being conquered without Islam even having to fire a shot. Have we really become that docile, self complacent and pathetic? The answer is Yes!

The Sham of Moderate Islam

Does this mean that even so-called moderate Muslims are hostile to America? It certainly does. Moderate Muslims support the conquest of America with a fervor equal to that of the militant Muslims. They cunningly play the role of the “good cop” in their good cop, bad cop charade deceiving we gullible Americans. In fact, the “two hands” of Islam aspire to choke the life out of America. One hand is called militant Muslims, the other hand is called moderate Muslims. These “two hands” work together, in their Koranically mandated asphyxiation pogrom, of strangling America into submission. This point cannot be overemphasized.

In 1974 Algerian President Boumendienne made a prophetic statement to the United Nations General Assembly:


“One day millions of men will leave the southern hemisphere of this planet to burst into the northern one. But not as friends. Because they will burst in to conquer, and they will conquer by populating it with their children. Victory will come to us from the wombs of our women.”


How accurately prophetic he was. Today, one can see no assimilation by Muslims in their host nations and they frequently exhibit open hostility turning entire cities into Moslem enclaves which the police are reluctant to enter. In addition, their birthrate is four times the European average creating a large cash deficient within the social welfare system. It is hardly an exaggeration to say, the Moslem immigration is like a “swarm of invading locusts” devouring everything in their path.

Dutch Politician Geert Wilders, having suffered first hand the “devouring” of his nation by so-called moderate Islam, unflinchingly states in his article, “The Islamization of Europe”…“There is no Moderate Islam”. The United States, like all besieged western democracies, must heed Geert Wilders warning if they wish to protect themselves. Clearly, the safe harbor of religion status enables the “two hands” of Islam to launch clandestine raids upon their host nation, sapping at its vitals from within.

A Road To Hell

The severity of the moderate Islam invasion is thoroughly understood by Islamic experts like Amil Amani. In his article, “A Bridge To “Moderate” Islam Is In Fact a Road to Hell.” He emphatically warns there is no such thing as moderate Islam and to call it so is an oxymoron, a contradiction. Specifically he states:


“Since moderate Islam is oxymoronic, any moderacy in Islam is in fact incompatible and in conflict with essential Islam, its power structure and its controlling proponents . . . Islam is not personally or spiritually relevant. It is political, which is why it may never separate itself from government. Adherence is not a matter of voluntary devotion, but of the law, and violators are severely punished, including capital punishment . . .”


Another enlightened expert who has personally witnessed that moderate Islam is a road to hell is Brigitte Gabriel. In her book, “Because They Hate” she gives a clarion call describing how the ruse of moderate Islam turned her home country of Lebanon into a “living nightmare.” She states:


“We were renowned for our hospitality, good heartedness, and generosity, just as America is know for the same qualities today. Sadly, those same qualities were the cause of our destruction . . . We did not realize that the intolerant Islamic side of our culture was gaining strength on the back of our western openness and pride in diversity.”


Most likely, Brigitte Gabriel would agree that providing religion status to Islam, believing main stream Islam to be moderate, was a major contributor to the destruction of Lebanon. The key point is that so-called moderate Muslims are as fiercely intolerant as militant Muslims, but are more skillful at concealing their agenda and deceiving their host nation until the time is right for them to strike. Brigitte Gabriel tells how usually peaceful Muslim neighbors who had befriended them for decades all of a sudden rose up to kill non-Muslims.

Murderous Intolerance

Such murderous intolerance is fully entrenched within Islam. The so-called moderates fully support these murderous attacks in their “hidden hearts”, rarely paying even lip service to the contrary. Their silence has been “deafening.” Why? Because they dare not challenge the inviolate precedents set by their prophet which would be a capital offense. For example, in 623 A.D. Mohammed was infuriated with the female poet Asma Bint Marwan for criticizing him, and sent his henchman to kill her and her five children. They ripped the infant from her breast and hacked it to pieces before her very eyes. They then made her watch the murder of her other four children, before raping and stabbing her repeatedly to death. After the butchery Mohammed told his henchman, “You have done a service to Allah and his Messenger.”

The killing of persons who criticize Islam has never abated and perhaps is even more alive today than in the 7th century. A few years ago in the U.S. an Egyptian Christian, his wife and two children had their throats cut for challenging Islam, mistakenly believing our free speech laws would protect them. Nearly everyday one hears of some gruesome murder, decapitation, or other violent crime committed by contemporary Muslims who are emulating the example of their prophet.

The Heart War

99.9% of all Muslims have a deeply held secret agenda (wish) that Islam will conquer their host country and turn it into an Islamic nation such is their indelible religious conditioning. This obvious fact has been completely neglected, ignored, avoided and shunned by the leadership of western democracies to their great detriment, including America.

Fortunately we have one Islamic expert who is trying to awaken our leadership and his sleeping counterparts in the defense department and intelligence community. He is truly a “shinning star” and a person of insightful wisdom who should be promoted to the highest positions. Major Stephen Collins Coughlin has written a 333 page thesis entitled, “To Our Great Detriment”. On pages 171-175 he provides a quote that reveals the concealed heart of so-called moderate Muslims. The Caliph (Pope) of the Ottoman empire spelled out what has always been the irrefutable law for all Muslims without exception:


“The heart war - and that is the lowest form of the war. And it is that the Muslim should believe in his heart that the infidels are enemies to him and to his religion, and that he should desire their disappearance and the destruction of their power, And no Muslim can be imagined who is not under obligation to this degree of war. Verily, all the people of the faith are under obligation to this amount without any question whatever, in whatever place they may be . . . .”


Prediction

Permit me to make a grim prediction: Any country that continues to provide religion status to Islam believing that moderate Muslims will save the day has been “succor punched” and is guaranteed to suffer great havoc and disruptive chaos. The proof is undeniable, look at the mayhem Islam has inflicted upon all western democracies over the past 20 years. The self destructive formula is simple: provide religion status to the sham of moderate Islam and your country will suffer great devastation.

Never before in human history has a nation’s leadership and intelligence community been so easily duped, confounded, played for fools, infiltrated and manipulated by enemy propagandists and apologists. Our leadership has become so pusillanimous in the face of Islamic bullying and brow beating, they have become their lackeys, aiding and abetting the invasion of the very nation they are suppose to protect. The situation is critical. The demoting of Islam’s religion status will turn the tide and send a clear-cut message to Islam that the dust of Allah is no longer befogging our vision enabling them to conqueror us.

The Czechs Get it!

Here's an interesting comment coming from Czechoslovakia:
From Czechoslovakia:

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Funny how THEY can see this, and so many in this country CAN'T.
I'm beginning to believe a whole lot more people need glasses than realize it!

HEY! I Thought Obama Was a Lawyer--

Now it begins to look like he isn't!
What do you suppose he's hiding THIS time?
This guy has more twists and turns in his hidden past than Lombard Avenue in San Francisco!

--but why are we surprised? ALL lawyers lie, don't they?

THE LAWYER OBAMA--WHAT A JOKE

[Ed. note on the Ed. note: this is from a former Chicago lawyer now practicing law in Tyler , TX ]

[Ed. note: This is legit. I checked it out myself at https://www.iardc.org
It stands for Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee. It's the official arm of lawyer discipline in Illinois ; and they are very strict and mean as hell. (Talk about irony!) Even I, at the advanced age of almost 65, maintain (at the cost of approximately $600/year) my law license that I worked so hard and long to earn.]

Big surprise !!!

Former Constitutional Law Lecturer and US President Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During 'State Of The Union ' Address.

Consider this:

1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a "lawyer". He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application.

A "Voluntary Surrender" is not something where you decide "Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?" and forget to renew your license. No, a "Voluntary Surrender" is something you do when you've been accused of something, and you 'voluntarily surrender" your license five seconds before the state suspends you.

2. Michelle Obama "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993.

3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law. Facts.

Source: http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/

4. A senior lecturer is one thing. A fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago .

5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "served as a professor" in the law school-but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.

6. "He did not hold the title of professor of law," said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law.

Source: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html ;

7. The former Constitutional senior lecturer cited the US Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence . not the Constitution.

8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/

9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal..

10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech???

When you are a phony it's hard to keep facts straight. The only ones that haven't seen through this clown and the band of idiots that surrounds him are those that are fleecing this Country for all it's worth. I hope and pray that common sense will prevail in the next election or this great Nation is finished!

Obama Sticks his Foot in it--Again!

Yep! The idiot can't tell his left from his right. Every time he opens his mouth, he's never sure which foot he will stuff in his mouth. It's really embarrassing when he tries to stuff BOTH feet in there at the same time!

What causes this, you ask? (I heard you, don't try to deny it!)
His stupid statements on the building of the Mosque at ground zero--that's what caused it!

He knows darned well almost 70% of Americans don't want a mosque anywhere near the site of a Muslim attack on the Great Satan-, er, the United States!

Does he really care what the people think? Heck no! He said, long ago, that in a crisis, he'd stand with the Muslims---probably because he's a Muslim pretending to be a Christian--who doesn't attend a Christian church, but has been known to visit mosques.

Would YOU visit a mosque, other than as a tourist?
I didn't think so.
On the other hand, there are a lot of Christians who don't attend church, but that's another story, isn't it?

So by the time we elect a new president (and we will) this mosque will be well under construction.
And my advice to Obama would be, "Don't wear shoes. That way, when you stick your foot in your mouth, the only danger will come from your toenails!

Then I propose the new president take over that ground, using eminent domain and turn that mosque into a YM/WCA including a swimming pool, pool tables, big screen television, restaurants and 12 floors of rooms for the homeless.

Now THAT would be a memorial to 911.

The End of Free Speech

Once again, dear friends, into the fray!
So you think Obumble has no designs on killing dissent?

Here's a snip from a PDF I received via email today:
[quote]As evidenced by its open war against Fox News and conservative talk radio, the Obama administration clearly views its critics in the media as major obstacles to President Barack Obama’s plan to fundamentally transform America. The recent release of the Federal Trade Commission’s working paper on “reinventing journalism” makes it clear that the most polarizing president ever intends to federalize the news industry, just as he has done with autos, banking and health care. Language in the FTC document reveals the clear intent to transform the news industry from an information product provided by privately-owned news organizations into a government-regulated public utility that serves the “public good”, as defined solely by government. If implemented, the FTC plan would effectively nullify key portions of the First Amendment by giving government the power to prohibit reporting by any media source that criticizes its policies.
The First Amendment: Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech, or of the press.
Obama’s FCC also working on plans to crackdown on opposition media
Mark Lloyd, Chief Diversity Officer at the Federal Communications Commission, has spoken with deep admiration of the “incredible revolution” that led to Hugo Chavez seizing iron-fisted control of Venezuela. An important step taken by the communist strongman to consolidate power was shutting down the country’s opposition media. Under Mark Lloyd direction, the FCC is working on plans to hit conservative broadcasters who don’t meet the agency’s politi-cally-malleable “diversity” and “localism” guidelines with massive monetary fines that would effectively drive them out of business.

Wall Street Journal: Owner of Venezuela’s last remaining opposition television station flees country.[/quote]

In actuality, Obumble might as well nationalize journalism. 95% of the media already complies with his demands.

Hey, fellow writers! What you're doing is called, "Gutless writing".
I'd call it "cowardly collectivism"!

McChrystal Replaced by Petraeus

Now THERE'S a headline for ya'!

For the past year, the Obumble bunch have been calling McChrystal, "brilliant", "genius", etc., and then, "WHOOPS"--we screwed up! He's really not fit to remain in the service of his country.

Why?

"Well, he called me bad names," sulked Obumble!

AAAaaawwwww!, you poor widdo' boy! Did the bad mans hurt your widdo' feewings?

Yep, in all seriousness, McC screwed the pooch! Socked the weenie--slapped the cat and the animal lovers came out of the woodwork and took away his hunting license!

Generals aren't supposed to bad-mouth the sitting POTUS! --Even if it's true!
ESPECIALLY if it's true!
So he had to sit down--take a seat--exit stage right.
Never fart in the presence of "the messiah"!

Now we have ANOTHER genius general--Petraeus--who hurried to claim he had already approved of Obumble's announced strategy of last fall. Completely disregarding the fact Obumble couldn't find an outhouse unless led by his momma, let alone compute a successful strategy for conducting a war.

Long live suck-up Petraeus. Let's seen how many troops YOU can get killed--for nothing!

Watch for the "tell-all" book by the new author, McC!
Guaranteed a best seller!

So I started screwing around with the design-

--and the next thing I know, I can't recognize where I'm at, or how I got here.

I guess that's what you get when you step into the garage to do a little man's work at the old work bench.

I'd thought up something new and all I needed was one quart of gasoline, a fishing line--soaked in gasoline, of course--a target (already picked out) a little duct tape and some energetic wrapping.

So, just as I'm inspecting this contraption, my wife walks up, with a new cigar in her mouth, grabs my lighter and before I can say, "Where am I", WHAM! --I'm here.
Where ever the hell THIS is!

That damned woman will be the death of me yet!

Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas TX

Recently it's been said the minorities make up 35% of the American population.
Maybe that explains why the democrats are so liberal with benefits for the illegals!

Here's an excellent example:

Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas , Texas is a fairly famous
institution and for a variety of reasons:

1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963

2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after

3. Jack Ruby-who killed Oswald, died there a few years later.

On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second busiest maternity
ward in the country with almost 16,000 new babies arriving each year.
That's almost 44 per day---every day)! In fact, NINE Hispanic illegal babies are born for every ONE Hispanic death!

A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants.
That's 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas!

According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

The average patient in Parkland in maternity wards is 25 years old, married and giving birth to her second child. She is also an illegal immigrant. By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay.

OK, fine. That doesn't mean they should receive better care than everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital , they do. " Parkland Memorial Hospital has nine prenatal clinics. NINE!!!

The Dallas Morning News article followed a Hispanic woman who was a patient at one of the clinics and pregnant with her third child---her previous two were also born at Parkland . Her first two deliveries were free and the Mexican native was grateful because it would have cost$200 to have them in Mexico. This time, the hospital wants her to pay $10 per visit and $100 for the delivery but she was unsure if she could come up with the money. Not that it matters, the hospital won't turn her away. (I wonder why they even bother asking at this point.)

"How long has this been going on? What are the long-term effects?

Well, another subject of the article was born at Parkland in 1986 shortly after her mother entered the US illegally - now she is having her own child there as well. (That's right; she's technically a US citizen.)

These women receive free prenatal care including medication, nutrition, birthing classes and child care classes. They also get freebies such as car seats, bottles, diapers and formula.

Most of these things are available to American citizens as well, but only for low-income applicants, and even then, the red tape involved is almost insurmountable.

Because these women are illegal immigrants, they do not have to provide any sort of legitimate identification - no proof of income. An American citizen would have to provide a social security number which would reveal their annual income - an illegal immigrant need only claim to be poor and the hospital must take them at their word.

Parkland Hospital offers indigent care to Dallas County residents who earn less than $40,000 per year. (They also have to prove that they did not refuse health coverage at their current job.. Yeah, the 'free' care is not so easy for Americans.)

There are about 140 patients who received roughly $4 million dollars for un-reimbursed medical care. As it turns out, they did not qualify for free treatment because they resided outside of Dallas County so the hospital is
going to sue them! Illegal's get it all free! But U. S citizens who live
outside of Dallas County get sued! How stupid is this?

As if that isn't annoying enough, the illegal immigrant patients are actually complaining about hospital staff not speaking Spanish. In this AP story, the author speaks with a woman who is upset that she had to translate comments from the hospital staff into Spanish for her husband. The doctor was trying to explain the situation to the family and the mother was forced to translate for her husband who only spoke Spanish.

This was apparently a great injustice to her.

In an attempt to create a Spanish-speaking staff, Parkland Hospital is now providing incentives in the form of extra pay for applicants who speak Spanish.. Additionally, medical students at the University of Texas Southwestern for which Parkland Hospital is the training facility will now have a Spanish language requirement added to their already jammed-packed curriculum. No other school in the country boasts such a ridiculous multi-semester (multicultural) requirement.

I wonder how Americans would vote in the coming elections if they realized this is just ONE hospital out of the thousands across the country. Any wonder why health care is so expensive for the rest of us who pay for our care?

Hey, Obama! Want to save money on health care?
Send ALL of the illegals home, along with their babies, whether or not the baby is citizen.

How Not to Gain Attention

Seems Obama has been under investigation for some kind of criminal link to the BP oil spill. The San Francisco Examiner has a story this morning about his (and some of his buddies) ties to BP.
I don't think this is the kind of attention Obama wants!

And speaking of that, here's some I didn't want:

Saturday began just like any other day. I woke up about 4:30, got up about 4:45 (after considering staying in bed) and staggered into the living room where my wife had coffee waiting for me.
I did my usual chores, which consisted of going out front and picking up the paper—you know—the one loaded with Obamaganda?
I came back in the house, sat down and started reading, while waiting for my wife to make breakfast!
I noticed my back seemed a little sensitive this morning, but passed it off as just arthritis flaring up from sleeping too long on my back.
By the time I passed up Doonesbury (never could stand that strip) my back was hurting pretty good.
So when my wife called me to breakfast, I told her I wanted two full-strength aspirin, instead of the 81mg “baby” one I usually take.
“Why?” she asked, directly to the point as usual!
“Oh, my back aches a little this morning,” I says, acting nonchalant!

After breakfast as I was dressing, I noticed the pain was a little more intense, but I ignored it and continued on with my ablutions!

20 minutes later, as I checked my email (my usual early morning sleepy chore) I discovered my back ached clear through my solar plexus!
Now this was decidedly not normal and not my cup of special tea from Gevalia coffees.
No, of course I don’t drink tea in the morning, stupid---I drink COFFEE—duhh!
Anyhow, despite not drinking tea, I decided to call my advice nurse to see if there were any actions I should take besides opening my front door and screaming, “HA-A-A-A-A-A-A-LP!” as loudly as I could!

We discussed the pain.
“On a rating of 1 to 10, how would you describe your pain”, she asked?
“Um, painful”, I said.
“No, no! I mean if you were to assign a rating to the pain, beginning with 1 as the lowest, or least pain, rising to 10 as emergency pain—where does your pain fall?”
“Well, generally in the lumbar region,” I said, proud I could use a medical term to show my intelligence.
There was a long silence on the phone. Finally, with a sigh, the nurse said, “Tell me how bad it hurts, Mr. ROC!”
“It hurts like hell,” I replied, “That’s why I’m calling you---geez!”
“So you should call an 911 right away,” she sez.
I let that thought perambulate through my brain for several seconds. It took several paths I didn’t like, one being the embarrassment of being hauled out on a stretcher in front of God, my neighbors and all the cats and dogs on the block!
“Well,” I welled, “I guess it’s not that painful.”
“Please hold,” she sez.
W’ot? Hold? Me? But, but, but-, I’m DYING and she wants ME to HOLD?
So I held.
Two minutes later she’s back. “Mr ROC?”
“Still here,” I sez.
“I talked to an emergency room doctor and he advised you come in right away. Can your wife drive you?”

Half an hour later, with my wife telling me I wasn’t really dying and the Emergency room was just another $50 waste of time, I’m checked into emergency at Kaiser Permanente in Antioch.
After blood tests, X-rays and 4 hours of waiting the doctor comes in and tells me there was nothing wrong with me!
“Nothing,” sez I?
“Nope,” sez he, and, “You can be home in time for dinner!”
“Not MY dinner,” sez the thoroughly PO’d wife.

So of course, my wife and I stopped at a local restaurant for dinner.
Who wants to cook when they have a sore back?
