Semper Fi ... for Nate

So He sent me.....

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist, a certified Liberal Democrat, and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting."

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's troops who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot.... So He sent me."

God bless our American troops, their families, and our President who are fighting daily in the War on Terrorism to keep us safe from harm.

This one's for you, Nate. God bless ... be safe in Iraq. Love you, my dear friend....

That was the biggest waste of my time EVER. This blog sucks and only losers take you seriously. I saw your picture, by the way. You're ugly as hell.

I think a bunch of teachers in public and private colleges need to take this Marine's couse in Advanced Theology 777.

That seems like a "cute" story, to the extent that it reinforces stereotypes. You know, the godless professor - by the way, exactly how does one become "certified" as a Liberal Democrat?

I'm concerned that some readers might think it's a true story, though. Could you clarify?

O-kay, Harry ... if you think there may be "confusion" in some people's minds about this post. However, no Republican I know would need to have clarification. But ... here goes.

To all the democrats reading this post --

"This ... is ... a ... disclaimer ... that ... the ... story ... may ... not ... be ... an ... actual ... event. However ... there's ... no ... proof ... it ... didn't ... happen either."

How's that, Harry? Happy now?
