This’n That Around The Daily News

http://goo.gl/eRiRl  Lucky doctors – they are gonna git spied on just like those people who check on store’s customer service around the country.  I bet they are so looking forward to this technique.

http://goo.gl/teF5a  It is TIME for the TSA to adopt a new plan.  Asking a woman any age to remove her diaper is beyond belief!

http://goo.gl/a5upn  Regardless your opinion on the new gay marriage law in New York State – I wonder if the ‘Republican’ controlled Senate in New York will get any credit.  I can answer that in one word – “NO”.  I couldn’t care less either way; just making a point. 

http://goo.gl/DjCnf  Wondering if Jose Antonio Vargas will face deportation.  I don’t think he will, and in that case, the so called ‘rule of law’ is meaningless in this country.  We have none except selectively. 

http://goo.gl/0wiZj  This is why the Republicans will NEVER nominate Newt as their flag bearer.  They know he does not know what he’s talking about.  ‘Anyone’ who actually believes Blacks will vote Republican is so far outta the mainstream they should get out of politics in toto.  PERIOD!

Tidbits From The News

   The President released 30 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserves.  I didn’t know there was a shortage in the United States did you?  Have you had to wait in any lines?  I haven’t, and I have not seen any mention of lines anywhere within the confines of these United States.  The main reason given is a worldwide shortage due to upheavals in Libya.  Umm, “WE” do not get any significant amount of oil from Libya.  Bush ‘filled’ the oil reserves after finding it depleted by Clinton.  Those reserves are for an emergency, not high gasoline prices. But nooo, the U.S. released 50% of what was released worldwide… amazing. 

   Everyone is all atwitter regards the the confession of Mr. Vargas of the Washington Post.  He of course won a Pulitzer and has now confessed to being here illegally.  Would someone puleeze answer me a simple question.  Why do we even have passports?  If this crap is going to be condoned, why not just open the borders in toto?  Either we have laws or not, and evidently it is ‘NOT’.  Makes me physically ill. 

   Before it has ended, we are going to find out that the flooding along the Mighty Missouri River this year has been caused by mismanagement by the Corps of Engineers.  It is becoming more obvious by the day.  They are going to be found to have been cow towed by environmentalists among others.  We deserve precisely what we get, but let there be no doubt it is a disaster. 

   Now Geithner and company want to raise taxes on small business so they do not have to cut the size of government programs.  Small business is the engine that drives this economy whether anyone will agree or not. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/geithner-taxes-small-business-must-rise These guys don’t even ‘try’ to hide it anymore. The cliff is getting closer by the day.

Something To Contemplate

 

You're a 19 year old kid.
You're critically wounded and dying in
the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .
It's November 11, 1967.
LZ (landing zone) X-ray.

Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in.
You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out.
Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again.
As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter.
You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it.
Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you.
He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come. He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety.
And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!!
Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.
He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise , Idaho

May God Bless and Rest His Soul.

I bet you didn't hear about this hero's
passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch about Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods and the bickering of congress over Health Reform.

Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman


Shame on the American media !!!


Now... YOU pass this along to YOUR

mailing list. Honor this real American.

Please.

This’n That Around The Country

   The lady who speaks ‘for’ the Democrat Party (Debbie Wasserman Schultz), way back when the President wanted to bailout the car companies, said if the Republicans did not back this issue they’d have Americans driving foreign cars.  Fast forward – according to Florida motor vehicle records, ole Deb drives a Nissan. Way to go babe. http://goo.gl/15YDq

   Gallup says 71% of Democrats favor redistribution of wealth.  An equal percentage of Republicans disapprove.  Here is what it is all about when you peel away the garbage.  It depends on what who thinks is wealth (as always).  By that I mean, if you earn 10K per year and someone deems that being wealthy, you are now the one being gored. http://goo.gl/rrssg

   So tell me:  Is Weiner Being Frank?  This is the funniest headline I saw regards the subject and it was written by Jonah Goldberg. Just tickled me.  I’ve heard Weiner being interviewed too many times to count (prior to this incident).  I always admired his – ‘don’t take their crap attitude’, but this time he has his watchamacallit in some hot buns. 

   To say there was a housing bubble is a given.  Eventually the true bottom will occur.  The monies spent trying to stimulate the housing market (in my opinion) was pissed down a rat hole.  It delayed the inevitable. I’ve said for many years I did not buy my house as an investment; I bought it to live in to avoid paying rent and for the tax break.  I could walk out the door today without making even one dime and not give a rat’s patooie.  Nobody believes me; I swear it is true.  http://goo.gl/F5RRp

   http://goo.gl/Wwph3  I was angry having to wait for my iPad 2, but this young fellah took it to an extreme.  I think I could have waited.  I tweeted this story yesterday, but for the non tweeters out there… :)

   You are going to see stories like this more and more in the coming months and years.  “I” think the party is over, but many (first responders included), think ‘they’ are the only ones to make the big bucks.  I realize big bucks are all relative, but this issue of cutting back on fighting fires, fighting crime are tools the public unions have and will use, only more so…. they believe that the people can keep coughing up more and more.  I don’t think they can. http://goo.gl/VfdRw

Sarah

   It is one of the MOST satisfying things “I” have ever witnessed; Sarah Palin wrapping the media around herself, and playing them like a fiddle.  She has figured out what many of us have known for aloooong time.  If you do not play the game the way ‘they’ want it to be played, you are evil. 

   Readers of this epistle know I do not think she is going to run for President; I do think she may in the future.  I still maintain men could not stand to listen to her voice for four years. Ha ha.  Not a big deal, just an observation.

   I do know this much!  You cannot name even one candidate in either party who does not envy the crowds Sarah can draw.  She has something folks, deny it all you want. Right now I am just enjoying this tour she’s on.  The media is having a COW!!! Too funny.
