This'n'That; August 17th[Boxer;Fluffy-EU;Credibility;VictorDavisHanson]

One Guy "Gets It!" [Remember a while back, when senator babs boxer admonished Brigadier General Michael Walsh for calling her "ma'am" instead of "senator"-a title "she worked hard to get"....MY ACHIN' ASS!! The General was testifying about the Army Corps of Engineers' progress in the post-Katrina Louisana coastal restoration. ms boxer is a member of the legion-545 strong, who believe they are royalty, thus entitled to their position, title and power...... ANOTHER ONE WHO MUST GO!!! Mister Jim Hill, a National Guard aviator and a Captain with Alaska Airlines wrote an answer that right on the money!! This email is circulating-maybe you received it??] Dear Senator Boxer: You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator". After all, in the military, "ma'am" is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The general was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or position. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equalled only by the U.S. House of Representatives. Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually re-elected. Many democrats even want American troops killed by releasing photographs. How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"? None? One? Two? Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind. When the general entered the military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your derriere, now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general's taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions. Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and arrogance which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated masses who have made California into the laughing stock of the nation. What I am writing, Senator, are the same thoughts countless millions of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to convey them. Under the democrats, some don't even have the 44 cents to buy the stamp. Regardless of their thoughts, most realize that politicians are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton (1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, "Mr. Power" has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it. Finally Senator, I, too, have a title. It is "Right Wing Extremist Potential Terrorist Threat." It is not of my choosing, but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. And you were offended by "ma'am"? Have a fine day. Cheers! Jim Hill 16808 - 103rd Avenue Court East South Hill, WA 98374 Fluffy "In Bed" With The EU As Well?? [Since when..... does an American corporation such as Gubmint Motors have to have the European Union's approval to acquire another American corporation?!?! Has that stupid shit-obama completely sold out America???] The European Union has approved the acquisition of Delphi Corp.'s steering business -- which includes Delphi's plant in Rochester[,NY] -- by General Motors Co. The EU said the deal, which includes three other Delphi plants, will cause no antitrust problems in Europe. The European Union said “that for all automotive components, the merged entity will have very small market shares and will continue to face several strong, effective competitors” in the EU. Speaking of "Stupid Shits;" What Happened To Fluffy's Credibility?? Remember when Fluffy obama intially proposed reforming America's healthcare? His teleprompter had all the buzzwords programmed in; "If you like your plan, you can keep it. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. " Remember that?? Last Friday, during the "Belgrade Experience".... that photo-op/news conference in Montana, Fluff' made the following statement: "Everybody here who still has -- who has currently private insurance, you know, you would more than likely still be on your private insurance plan." Are both he and ACORN so ignorant as to believe that even the KoolAid drinkers still believe his massive piles of BULLSHIT?!?! A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most voters (54%) say no health care reform passed by Congress this year would be the better option. As the public has become more engaged in the debate over health care reform, support for the Congressional reform plans has fallen to new lows. Just 42% of U.S. voters now favor the plan while 53% are opposed. Those who oppose the effort feel more strongly about it. The "FluffyCare" Mess [I found this article by Victor Davis Hanson in the National Review. As a sidebar: Mr Hanson is a supporter of Hillsdale College { www.hillsdale.edu } and has spoken at events on several occasions. If you're a conservative or better yet, a patriot-you should sign-up for the free, monthly "Imprimis" at the above URL.] Obama’s Health-Care Mess [Victor Davis Hanson] Ironies abound in the health-care debate. Bush was pilloried by the Obamanians for (1) not planning for the postwar occupation of Iraq; and (2) not being able to articulate the ends and means of the administration’s war. Yet in the hubris of high ratings, Obama apparently felt that he neither had to present a comprehensive finished blueprint of health-care reform, nor that he or his associates should have to sum it up succinctly and clearly. The result is that most Americans not only do not know what the administration plan is, but sense that their president does not either. Health care is stalled and insidiously undermining the presidency of Obama precisely because the public senses he has not leveled with the American people. Of the uninsured, how many millions are young people who feel no need right now to buy insurance, how many million are illegal aliens, how many millions chose to use their optional income for things other than a low-cost catastrophic health plan, how many millions still find care outside the insurance system? Nor do most Americans feel their system is broken. They worry about redundant care, frivolous procedures, and lawsuits, but sense that all in all it can be improved rather than scrapped. They know that Americans with cancer and heart disease survive longer than anywhere else due to superior American care. And they know that longevity is influenced by factors well beyond medical care. The president just as easily could tackle the epidemic of homicides and youth violence, as well as automobile accidents, if his concern really were to ensure that Americans on average lived longer than any others. Bottom line: Too many Americans, whether rightly or wrongly, believe that Obama has other agendas that transcend simply ensuring American live longer, healthier, and better — such as growing government, enforcing an equality of result, and creating permanent constituencies that administer and receive expanding federal entitlements. And what looms over the entire debate? Debt, debt, debt — both the recognition that one cannot expand those covered and save money at the same time without rationing or higher taxes; and the notion that all Obama’s new entitlements essentially involve borrowing money, much of it from Asia, as our indebtedness soars.
