Speak Out 6/4/12

Use common sense get tested

This is message for all the men out there (and I'm going to put them in the bracket passed the age of 40). Recently, with the changes in health care that's being brought about by the Obama administration, they would like men to now believe that the PSA test for prostate cancer problems is something that can be, well, just say, be put off. Let me say this from personal experience. Now mind you I'm a man in his mid 50s and I had skipped my PSA for several years--five to be exact. But, after I was tested the doctors noted a severely elevated PSA. They waited a few weeks. Thought it could have been an aberration. They first treated me for an infection. Came back in and it was higher yet. That led to a biopsy. And, guess what? Yep. You guessed it-prostate cancer of a highly advanced state. Now if not for that PSA test and follow ups after, gentlemen, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. So when all of these bean counters that want to save money on insurance say you don't need that test. Use some common sense if you value your life as I did. Get the test and follow-up if it's elevated. Yes, it's not a deadly accurate test like biopsy, but it sure saved my life. It could save yours.

Nonbeliever

or infidel?

Many across America are trying to say that Islam is a religion of peace. Why they continue to spread such lies is beyond all sorts of rational thought processing, but I will quote these points purely and simply as they come from the Koran themselves. You either voluntarily submit to Koran if you're a nonbeliever. You are forced to submit, you know, the old foot on the throat kind of submission, to save your life and even if at that time you refuse to accept this there's no other choice. It's their tenet. They will kill you and eliminate the nonbeliever. Why do you believe they gave the name "infidel" to those that don't believe? Open your eyes, Christianity, if you wish to save yourself and the freedoms we love here. You can find the truth by going online and reading an English from Arabic translation. Do your work. Save yourself.

Low down

dirty scum

I'm calling because this last Saturday I put flags on all the graves of the men in our family that the Qulin Cemetery. That was Saturday. I also put red, white and blue flowers in front of my grandmother who is buried there-it was my dad and mother's birthday. My sister went out a couple of days ago and all of the flags were gone but one and my grandmother's flowers were gone. Now, I don't know what kind of people it takes to go and steal the stuff off graves and on Memorial weekend and on their birthday weekend. It's just despicable. Whoever you are, I can't imagine what is so important that you've gotta take something from a grave. That's what I've got to say. Thank you.
