This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to finish and send it on to anyone who will read it. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities. Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:


Theologically - no . . . Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia

Religiously - no. . . Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)

Scripturally - no. . . Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.

Geographically - no . Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no.. . . Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no. . . Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America , the great Satan.

Domestically - no. . Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34)

Intellectually - no. . Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. . . Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually - no. . . Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.

Therefore, after much study and deliberation....

Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS
in this country. - - - They obviously cannot be both
'good' Muslims and good Americans.


Call it what you wish, it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand.

Can a muslim be a good soldier???



Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, opened fire at Ft. Hood and Killed 13. He is a good Muslim!!!


Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within.

SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.

THE MARINES WANT THIS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S.

Please don't delete this until you send it on.

Just curious if anyone at OCCC (or around the rest of the complex perhaps) have heard anything about possible transfers in the future after the next academy goes through.

What this Union truly needs is to rethink it's structure.
First of all the Executive Board should be more of a steering commitee.
We need to hire professional people to run the day to day and represent us on negotiations.
1) An Executive Director: Hired by the E-Board and pay is based on performance.
2) A Legislative Rep: Again hired by E-Board and pay is based on performance. ALot of Ex Senators out there who know the ins and outs and have the connections we need.
3) A Business Agent: Hired by E-Board and paid on performance.

The members of the E-Board would only work 2 days a week in the union office the rest of the time they would be back in the institutions. Have all members in one day a week at union office to meet together and then one other day so that we have an Officer there at all times overseeing the process.

This would allow us to put forth a professional appearance and the hired professionals would be able to speak more frankly about situations as they would not have to worry about petty retaliations by the DOC when their term was up, and the harder they worked for us the better their pay.

we need to vote all the e-board incumbents out of office in this next election. We are losing at every turn.
1) no raise
2) 5% increase in out health insurance.
3) we lost holiday pay. about $5,000/yr per officer.
4) no political clout even though we give several thousand dollars to several politicians.
5) President Steve kenneway has provided no leadership.
6) Legislative Rep. Joe Gaurino is a no show.
7) Executive Secretary Henry Harris is not even a correction officer-he is a brownshirt maintenance worker from shirley med.
8)Grievance Coordinator james Nason admits he still does not know his job and needs more time to learn.

This union has gone downhill for the past six to eight years under the so called leadership of these guys.

they might be good guys I don't know any of them. This is nothing personal. but they have had there chance.

Lets vote in some hardworking, smart and solid union guys who will work hard for us and NOT sell us out.

The union does nothing as the administration allows this militant group to run OCCC. With numbers over 200 and growing daily the safety of staff is now a concern. But our strong leadership (Joke) rather fight over which way to wear a hat.Get rid of all these losers.

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her..
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: 'I have a question to ask, but I don't want to offend you.'
She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask I would find offensive.'
'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kissme.'
She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1 you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.'
The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'
'OK' the nun says. Pull into the next alley.'
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
'My dear child,' said the nun, 'Why are you crying?'
'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess; I'm married and I'm Jewish.'
The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.

It seems there is a sentisive Lt. + Sgt. on the 11-7 shift who can't handle the use of the "F" word (even though they use that word often) and during a normal conversation wrote you up and now you are under suspension just because of they feel empowered.
B.R. we are behind you 100% on this one.
Talk about power hungry people the Lt. and Sgt. should be thrown out of MCOFU for their stupidty and cowardness alone.

While we are in full support of free speech, we will no longer tolerate the use of the "C" word (you know, the one men with no class like to use to describe women).

It's just a vile word and completely unnecessary. People's moms and daughters and wives don't need to be seeing that kind of filth. We're just trying to establish at least some type of "bottom of the barrel" standard with this.

From this point forward, anyone using it will find their message removed. And if it continues you will be banned.

Thank you for your understanding.

They are saying if you get hit in your car from behind do not pull over and call 911 right away it's gonna be on America's Most Wanted on Sunday this guy is dangerous!

One day, Dave was out raking leaves when he noticed a hearse slowly drive by. Following the first hearse was a second hearse, which was followed by a man walking solemnly along, followed by a dog, and then about 200 men walking in single file.


Intrigued, Dave went up to the man following the second hearse and asked him who was in the first hearse.


“My wife,” the man replied.


“I’m sorry,” said Dave. “What happened to her?”


“My dog bit her and she died.” Dave then asked who was in the second hearse.


The man replied, “My mother-in-law. My dog bit her and she died as well.”


“Can I borrow your dog?”


“Get in line,” replied the man.
