The folks at the Hubbard City Café told me that President Obama might want to learn something from Hubbard before he releases the prisoners at Gitmo. It seems that Hubbard’s two most prominent psychiatric patients were living in the town’s only Rest Home. The local mayor, Tommie Lee Fulton, got some complaints and wanted to release them from the home.
Ralph and Edna were the two patients in the retirement home which is located right beside the City Park’s swimming pool.
One day while they were walking past the pool Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse, Bobbie Nell Floyd, became aware of Edna's heroic act, and wanting to please the Mayor, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital. She now considered Edna to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, “Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of your fellow patient. I have concluded that your act displays a sound mind”.
“The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.”
Edna replied, “He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"
We might run into the same kind of things when these folks start leaving Gitmo.
Billy Roy Meechum says, “if Gitmo ain’t broke don’t fix it”.

Hubbard Folks Preserve Their Culture Unlike USA.
An interesting video regarding population growth trends and the Muslim threat to Western Cultures can be viewed below.
It is interesting that our current life styles and cultural practices create an environment that doesn't even replenish itself. And we have been calling this PROGRESS.
How about returning to something as simple as:
1. Get married to someone of the opposite sex
2. Have two or more children and rear them to do the same
3. Protect our borders, and in doing so, our Christian Culture.
If we could just do these three things, we could save our culture for our children.
Interestingly, small towns like Hubbard are so far behind that they still do these simple things unlike smart city folks.

Hubbard Vets Views on New Russian Jet Fighter
Some of the vets at the Hubbard City Café were not happy as the Middle East initiated their strategy to test our new President particularly after seeing the video of the new Russian SU 30 Jet Fighter.
They had just heard the King of Jordan basically threatened Obama on the Sunday morning talk show. He said the U. S. would get very little assistance with Iran’s nuclear weapons, in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Pakistan, nor with Al Qaeda, or the Taliban until Obama forced Netanyahu to solve the Palestinian problem. The solution of course was for Israel to make more concessions to the Palestinians including sharing Jerusalem. Seems like we have been here before. In the past when we have made concessions (Gaza), it just created more bombings and attacks on the Israelis while establishing a larger base for terrorists (Hamas).
Obama’s big test will come after Netanyahu visits Washington in the next few weeks. If they can roll Obama on this one, then the Vets think it will not be long before no one will rely on the U. S. for assistance against Militant Muslims nor Communist. It will not be long before you will see the new Russian SU30 fighter jets threatening our allies.
Russia now has #1 fighter plane in the world... SU-30- Vectored Thrust with Canards. As you watch this airplane, look at the canards moving along side of, and just below the canopy rail. The "canards" are the small wings forward of the main wings. The smoke and contrails provide a sense of the actual flight path, sometimes in reverse direction. This video is of an in-flight demonstration flown by the Russian's-30MK fighter aircraft. You will not believe what you are about to see.
