The politicians in Washington, D.C. are pushing for a $0.61 per pack tax
increase on cigarettes to fund their massive federal spending spree.
Instead of
raising our taxes politicians should learn to live within their means
and curb
their out of control spending habits.


TAKE ACTION against this new tax hike scheme! A tax increase is not
something that true conservatives should support. Please contact these
key
Senate Finance Committee members and let them know that American
taxpayers expect fiscal discipline and responsibility, not tax
increases:

Relying on cigarette taxes to fund expanding government programs is bad
public policy because these taxes have proven to be regressive and an
unstable source of revenue.


Additionally, the impact of this tax hike would not be limited to
smokers since
convenient stores, gas stations and other small businesses would bear
the
costs of financing bigger and bigger government.


Just like average families live on a fixed budget, so should the
politicians in
Washington, D.C. Please TAKE ACTION NOW to tell lawmakers NO NEW
TAXES!

**** Armey

Welcome

seems a lot of nations ruled that land.. The jews (the tribe of judea)
did once occupie and rule judeah (sic)
this is sort of interesting
Judea

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greco-Roman name for the land of the tribe of Judah, whose only stable
border was fixed by the Dead Sea to the east. The tribal homeland had
about a fifteen mile radius in the hill country of the southeastern
corner of Palestine, with its center at Hebron. There mountain ridges
rose to almost 3400 feet above the level of the Mediterranean only to
descend 4,700 feet eastward to the surface of the Dead Sea, the lowest
spot on the face of this planet.

David's conquest of Jerusalem on the border with Benjamin shifted
Judea's center further north. During the reigns of David and Solomon
[10th c. BCE] the tribe of Judah absorbed the ancestral lands of
Benjamin (to the north of Jerusalem), Dan (to the west) and Simeon (to
the south). So after Solomon the northern boundary of Judah ran on a
line just north of Modein in the west to Jericho in the east. After the
Babylonian exile [6th c. BCE], the province of Judea was reduced to a
ring of about a 10 mile radius around Jerusalem.

After Judea won independence from Hellenistic Syria [2nd c. BCE], Judah
Maccabee's brother Jonathan extended its borders westward to the
Mediterranean from Joppa to Gaza and John Hyrcanus annexed the historic
Judean homeland in the south that had been claimed by Idumea. Though
later Hasmoneans extended Judean control over Samaria, Perea, Galilee
and the Golan, these were treated as occupied territories and never
integrated into Judea even under Herod. So, except for Samaria these
territories were easily separated from Judea after Herod's death. During
the 1st c. CE the Roman province of Judea proper was about 45 miles
square.

I Don't Ever Give Up
I'm no kid, in a kid's game
Did what I did, I got no one to blame
But I don't give up, no, I don't ever give up
It's all I got, it's my claim to fame

I'm no fighter, but I'm fighting
This whole world seems uninviting
But I don't give up, no, I don't ever give up
I fall down sometimes, sometimes I come back flying

Liars are lying, airplanes are flying
Love isn't here, love isn't here
But it's somewhere
You turn to forget me, but something won't let me
Love isn't here, love isn't here
But it's somewhere

I'm not clean, I'm not washed up
This dream I don't ever give up
I don't ever give up
No, I don't ever give up

there wasnt a country called Isreal back then.. Isreal started
exsistence in 1950s? or bit sooner I believe.the city of inportance was
and is jerusleum.. (sic?)
that area was called and conquered by different armys. Once the jews
ruled it (tribe of Judah) and the country which was big , was called
Judah.then they were driven out by another army and so on and so on.
now even if the country is called isreal, it is really the same people
jews meaning tribe of Judah.

now if all the jews in the world are going to the holy land as was
mentioned, what about the vast tribes of other isrealites?

a jew is a jew yes cause they are from tribe of Judah. and they are also
Isrealite.. the other isrealites are not jews, but they are
isrealites... so question is, is GFod calling all jews (just one tribe)
or is he calling all Isrealites?

native, youd be a hard one to get over with....such beauty

God he musy be like all women cant refuse him...lol I see 1 or 2 of
those on JSH hehehe..he must think you are dumb... hes a real class
jerk... period!!

If you could date ANYONE from JSH, who would it be?

date..... and we would party for a week.. Of course Id have to invite
some guys, as I cant handle it all lol..

I wouldnt even name just one.... thats why I need the lottery for all of
them...hehehe

1. Non Christians worship idols.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. Idols are any thing that
stands between you and god. Non christians either don't believe in god
or have faith in God and God alone.
