Pendry, retired Sergeant Major, USMC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This retired USMC Sgt. Major has his stuff together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the "runner-in-chief."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the USS Cole and the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our military of terrorizing women and children in Iraq. You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, and the same words you used to describe Vietnam. You're a fake! You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the Vietnamese..Iraq, like Vietnam, is another war that you were for, before you were against it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Murtha, you said our military was broken.. You said we can't win military in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt, and washed up old fool. You're not a marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real marine's ass. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dick Durbin, you accused our soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags, and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to the communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord, help us! See Dick run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist Morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our president lied, that the war is wrong and our soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic jihads. better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after they have gained both strength and momentum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are America's 'Axis of Idiots.' Your collective stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. if you want our soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to the people who are willing to defend it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. --Semper Fi, J.D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This is a savvy man.

Read the following and tell me how you would have reacted.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. bush had given the Queen of England an ipod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had vissited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco De Cuatro" in front of the Mexican Ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had misspelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potato as "proof" of what a dunce he is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on "Earth Day," would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually "get" what happened on 9-11?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had been the first president to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the midwet with more people killed or made homeless than in new Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again 10 times within that year, would you have approved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all the above in just five months--so be patient, you've still got three years and three months to come up with an answer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-5096497599165703485?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/5096497599165703485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/11/george-w-bush-was-dummy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/5096497599165703485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/5096497599165703485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/11/george-w-bush-was-dummy.html' title='George W.

The people of the USA just voted the one in that they thought would be the lesser of the foolish idiots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UNBELIEVABLE PRESIDENT!!!!!  This &lt;span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"&gt;should&lt;/span&gt; piss you off !  HERE IS HIS RESPONSE WHEN HE BACKED OFF FROM HIS DECISION TO LET THE MILITARY PAY FOR THEIR WAR INJURIES.   WHAT AN EMPTY HEADED ASS HE MUST BE!!!  Bad press, including major mockery of the plan by comedian Jon Stewart, led to President Obama abandoning his proposal to require veterans carry private health insurance to cover the estimated $540 million annual cost to the federal government of treatment for injuries to military personnel received during their tours on active duty. The President admitted that he was puzzled by the magnitude of the opposition to his proposal.   "Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained. "Nobody made these guys go to war.  They had to have known and accepted the risks.  Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?  It doesn't compute.  I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country," Obama continued. "I wasn't asking for blood, just money.  With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation's deficit.  I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans." Please pass this on to everyone--including every vet and their families-- whom you know.    How in the world did a person with this mindset become our leader?  I didn't vote for him!!!  REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT:   "Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks  Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?"  If this ASS thinks he will ever get another vote from an Active Duty,  Reserve, National Guard service member or veteran of a military service , he ought to think it over.  If you or a family member is or has served their country please pass this to them.  Please pass this to everyone. Remind everyone over and over how this man thinks, while he bows to the Saudi Arabian king.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT ARE THEY THINKING ???&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-2406673823560282624?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/2406673823560282624/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/10/unbelievable.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/2406673823560282624'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/2406673823560282624'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/10/unbelievable.html' title='Unbelievable'/><author><name>BOF-L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06683400108995541593</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723765634634366370.post-2002432561848578725</id><published>2009-10-06T12:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-06T12:40:24.451-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Government Health Care --yea or nea</title><content type='html'>First let me say this, I do not have health care. Luckily I do not get sick, but I am sure one day that may change.  So, I think some kind of health care for the people who can not afford it would be great. Something where you have a choice, can get treatment even with preexisting conditions,etc.  Government run would be fine with me as long as they could not say you are too old or it is to expensive to spend the money on you.  But if that was the case, I don't see it being any different than the way most health care insurance companies treat a person. They all seem&lt;br /&gt;to try everything they can to get out of paying. You spend all your life paying in to your insurance company on premiums and when you have a claim they look for every reason possible to refuse payment or treatment. So, what really would be the difference between Government run or regular insurance except for maybe the cost out of your own pocket, I mean really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like any insurance policies, no one can understand them, which I'm sure that is how it is meant to be. They give you all kinds of reasons why they will refuse a claim listed in a hundred pages of documents that you can't understand anyway. But if they would just say what they will cover it might take a half page and money would be saved on sneaky lawyer crap to fool you and wasted paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, please read below and send us your opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me get this straight.....&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Obama's&lt;/span&gt; health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it and whose members will be exempt from it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that is broke.&lt;br /&gt;What could possibly go wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT ARE THEY THINKING ??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-2002432561848578725?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/2002432561848578725/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/10/government-health-care-yea-or-nea.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/2002432561848578725'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/2002432561848578725'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/10/government-health-care-yea-or-nea.html' title='Government Health Care --yea or nea'/><author><name>BOF-L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06683400108995541593</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723765634634366370.post-6269992975102419070</id><published>2009-10-05T07:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-05T07:19:11.389-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Extreme Religious Group in Bet Shemish</title><content type='html'>I agree with this woman, she is very right in her thoughts.

Sure he or congress, whichever, is extending unemployment (which is good) and they have set up deals where you can get your &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;mortgage&lt;/span&gt; payments lowered (if you qualify). The IRS is planning to start auditing more individuals and small businesses to take more of our money that we don't have, while letting big businesses get by with owing hundreds of millions of dollars and they do nothing. I can owe them a few thousand and they will constantly threaten to take everything I have, if I don't make a payment to them they will garnish money that I need to feed a family and place levies on me. But, if I am a big company that is making millions they would do nothing, where is the fairness. All Obama and Congress is doing is helping themselves and big business and the rich.&lt;br /&gt;That's my opinion, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is Bill Steins opinion :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE FIGURED HIM OUT! By Ben Stein&lt;br /&gt;Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his&lt;br /&gt;socialized medicine bill passed?Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust&lt;br /&gt;voted for a pig in a poke in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better&lt;br /&gt;and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his&lt;br /&gt;quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister,&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah Wright.They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student.&lt;br /&gt;They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer,"&lt;br /&gt;Illinois state legislator, and Senator.The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as&lt;br /&gt;a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was&lt;br /&gt;being touted as a scholar.Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama is a super &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;likeable&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; super leftist, not a fan of this country,&lt;br /&gt;way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East,&lt;br /&gt;way beyond &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;naïveté&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, all the way into active destruction of our&lt;br /&gt;interests and our allies and our future.The American people have already awakened to the truth that&lt;br /&gt;the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense&lt;br /&gt;bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help&lt;br /&gt;all Americans.Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;ObamaCare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; basically&lt;br /&gt;means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk&lt;br /&gt;from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he&lt;br /&gt;can and cannot do.The American people already know that Mr. &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Obama's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; plan to lower health costs&lt;br /&gt;while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something&lt;br /&gt;that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society.&lt;br /&gt;Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State,&lt;br /&gt;has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal&lt;br /&gt;of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care.&lt;br /&gt;It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming,&lt;br /&gt;itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will&lt;br /&gt;stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.There is his urgency and our opportunity.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.' 'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, Learn the Language!' 'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.' 'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.' 'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.''If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here.. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

I realize that you can't do one thing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;that's&lt;/span&gt; good for everyone, somethings are good for one and not the other but they are doing nothing except for whats good for big business and themselves. Get rid of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;lobbyist&lt;/span&gt; and the fighting back and forth, the childish bull crap. Get rid of the old farts up there and start over and maybe something good will be accomplished "FOR THE PEOPLE"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are they thinking&lt;br /&gt;Better yet, What are we thinking, by voting them back in office&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-4472489640029642452?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/4472489640029642452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/06/whos-fools.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/4472489640029642452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/4472489640029642452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/06/whos-fools.html' title='Who&apos;s the fools'/><author><name>BOF-L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06683400108995541593</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723765634634366370.post-1955329572831576516</id><published>2009-04-24T13:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T13:31:12.048-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE ONE  (that may destroy our nation)</title><content type='html'>This sent to me by email and a very interesting read and looking to be somewhat true in coming !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's little to nothing in this that can be disputed. Most are already disillusioned .&lt;br /&gt;The Battle Cry that echoes across this faltering Nation is: "Where's My Check".....&lt;br /&gt;"It sure as heck ain't In the Mail." (They hardly noticed the $10/week change in tax withholding.)&lt;br /&gt;But four more years is too long for "Tea Parties" to prevent this likely conclusion. Written by an unknown Pastor's Wife, and brilliantly said: And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America , having lost their morals, their work initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as "The One".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence.&lt;br /&gt;For I shall save you with Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed." And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what "The One" would do, he had promised that he would bring change, and they proclaimed "Yes We Can".&lt;br /&gt;And "The One" said "We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!" And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Change is good!"&lt;br /&gt;Then "The One" said , "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,"---- And the people said"Sock it to them!" "---- and "Redistribute their wealth." And then "The One" said , "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody" And the people said, "Show us the money!" And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??" And "The One" ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked,publicized, and ridiculed; though no crime could be found. One lone reporter asked, "That shouldn't be, isn't that Marxist policy?" And she was banished from the kingdom!&lt;br /&gt;Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?" And "The One" said , "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk kindly to them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all !" And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!"&lt;br /&gt;Then "The One" said , "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes." And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes." So "The One" said "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!" And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"&lt;br /&gt;Then "The One" said "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!" And the people yawned and the already slumping housing market fully collapsed.&lt;br /&gt;And "The One" said "I shall mandate employer-funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage, and lower the white collar wage. And I shall also give every person unlimited health care and medicine and even transportation to the free clinics." And the people said, "Give me some of that!"&lt;br /&gt;Then "The One" said "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas." And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"&lt;br /&gt;Then "The One" said "I shall bankrupt the coal industry, and perhaps even the oil industry (Cap &amp;amp; Trade/Carbon Tax) and though electricity rates will skyrocket, we shall soon build wind farms and solar power stations and drive green cars that I shall mandate in Detroit !" And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates." So "The One" said "Not to worry. If your rebate ($10/week) isn't enough to cover your extra expenses ($3,000/year), we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!" "Only the fat cats will have to pay."&lt;br /&gt;Then "The One" said "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..." And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King! And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers; though they sold much less of their products. Others simply gave up and went out of business, and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support. So "The One" again blamed the prior administration, extended unemployment benefits to a year, bailed out his favorite banks, and then took over the banks and auto industries.&lt;br /&gt;"The One" said, "I am the "The One" - The Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall just print more money so the government will have enough!" "Surely one trillion dollars will make everyone happy." And immediately the Fed complied and the money presses roared. And China reconsidered their one trillion dollars of loans to the US ,, and threatened to call in their debts. Other foreign trading partners said unto " the one", "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more.. for everything.. as your dollar becomes worth less." And the people said, "Wait a minute.. That is unfair!!" And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced.Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. What factories are not owned by your government are owned by us. Now you shall play by our rules!"&lt;br /&gt;And "The One" said "Americans are arrogant, divisive, and derisive!" "We will listen." And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?" But yea verily, it was too late. The people eventually set upon "The One"and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. But the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change that "The One" had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them from within, and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built. And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it was too late, and the once-glorious "Home of the Brave and Land of the Free"was no more..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's not. It's happening RIGHT NOW,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Too bad our news stations didn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Medal Of Honor Winner Ed Freeman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the Medi-Vac helicopters to stop coming in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is 1/2 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an unarmed Huey, but it doesn't seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.&lt;br /&gt;Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs 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 2 or 3 of you on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses.&lt;br /&gt;And, he kept coming back.... 13 more times..... And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.&lt;br /&gt;Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman,died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise , ID ......May God rest his soul.....&lt;br /&gt;I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we sure were told a whole bunch about some Hip-Hop Coward beating the crap out of his "girlfriend"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shame on the American Media!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT ARE THEY THINKING ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-9025302055000121762?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/9025302055000121762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/04/ed-freeman.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/9025302055000121762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/9025302055000121762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/04/ed-freeman.html' title='Ed Freeman'/><author><name>BOF-L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06683400108995541593</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7IEcBJa2ggw/Se8cT_6CdbI/AAAAAAAAAA0/haJVl26ttJg/s72-c/Ed+Freeman.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723765634634366370.post-2958689520894555466</id><published>2009-04-10T09:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-10T09:42:03.036-07:00</updated><title type='text'>AIG Bailout</title><content type='html'>No wonder they bailed out AIG if this is true.&lt;br /&gt;But,  it would be just like our congress to make sure they are protected along with the big companies, but who cares about the individuals in the USA !!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AIG bailout ---  ????? Remember when this economic crisis hit, and Congress let Bear Stearns go under, pushed a bunch of forced marriages between banks, etc.? Then they bailed out AIG. At the time, I thought:  "That's strange. What does an insurance company have to do with this  crisis?"  I think I just found the answer. Among other things, "AIG INSURES THE PENSION TRUST OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS"!! No wonder they got bailed out right away!

The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day... &lt;br /&gt;"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights." &lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.&lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be. &lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.&lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes . &lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.&lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.. &lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure. &lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!) &lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights. &lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (Lastly....) &lt;br /&gt;ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!&lt;br /&gt;If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish.

Everyone in America is more than aware of the risks of Internet and electronic dangers and should be able to observe and give their attention to this issue without our government wasting their time discussing it and designating a day of National Attention, when they should be dealing with issues such as the failing economy, the wasted money they are giving to big corporations and such that are pissing it away buying more jets, failing banks and so on.  The corporation of Citibank is now asking for more money after they pissed away the first government bail out.  My understanding of the use of bail out money to banks was to help the banks with debt and to get them back to lending money to consumers, HA.  All they seem to be using it for is to buy out more banks and more company jets.  They are supposed to be using it to start lending money again but the working class American still can't borrow money, what the heck is this crap, get real man.  They are begging the government for our hard earned tax money to save them, but when we need money (our money) to save us, the answer is a big fat NO, and we are told we are not a good financial loan risk.  Look, who's money is it that bail them (the banks) out.  Why is it that they are failing but not considered to risky to be given our money, but we the individual American people are too much of a risk to borrow it from them ?  Damn it, it is our money. Let them go broke, save our money, give it back to the American people where it will make a difference.

In doing this in my opinion would make much more sense and would do more to stimulate the economy because it is the individual in America that is going to spend the money on things that would actually stimulate the economy and help businesses also.&lt;br /&gt;But on the other hand it would make more sense I believe if you are going to hand out the money to the individuals, then you should cut out the rich and all of the people that do not work and collect welfare beings all of the welfare recipients are getting their money for free anyway. The reason for cutting out the money for the rich in my opinion, they do not need the money anyway and the money that they spend, they are going to spend anyway, so why give them more free money. But, if you give out the money to the middle income and the low income, that will actually give them cash in their pockets that they are more than likely going to go out and spend. Granted some of this money that they receive will go to pay house payments and bills that they are either behind on or struggling to pay, leaving the rest of the money to go out and spend at businesses which in return would help to stimulate the economy. So, if every individual in America would receive $2700 out of all of the money that the government is going to use to stimulate the economy, but take away giving it to the rich and giving it to the people on welfare, then that would allow a bigger amount of money to the working-class people. Which could possibly boost the amount of $2700 to each individual to an increase of possibly double or triple. Now that would give the working-class plenty of money to catch up all their bills and a late payments and give them plenty of extra money to go out and spend.&lt;br /&gt;Now that is what I call a stimulus package that would actually do some good and benefit the people and the economy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-2652173706096337908?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/2652173706096337908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/01/stimulas-package.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/2652173706096337908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/2652173706096337908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/01/stimulas-package.html' title='Stimulas Package'/><author><name>BOF-L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06683400108995541593</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723765634634366370.post-4314402252689985377</id><published>2009-01-17T10:44:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-17T10:53:32.232-08:00</updated><title type='text'>W.A.T.T.</title><content type='html'>We are creating a new page to our BOF-L.com website.

From 1929 to 1953,    about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.   &lt;br /&gt;In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.    &lt;br /&gt;Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.    &lt;br /&gt;China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated    &lt;br /&gt;Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.   &lt;br /&gt;Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.   &lt;br /&gt;Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; Century because of gun control:&lt;br /&gt;56 million.    It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:     List of 7 items:    Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent   Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent   Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!   In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!   While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.   There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.  &lt;br /&gt;You won't see this data n the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.   Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.  &lt;br /&gt;Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!  &lt;br /&gt;The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.   With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.   If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.       The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I am a firm believer in the 2&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;nd&lt;/span&gt; Amendment !

There is not enough pressure on Israel and Washington, he said, and he thought that the demonstrations in Cairo should continue."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I wonder why it is that all of these middle east countries hate the United States so much and condemn us for everything, but when war or disagreements brake out over there, all they seem to do is beg for help from us, the  "United States".   All of those sand goons over there hate Americans so bad and don't want us there but when they need help they come crying to us. That is what I call hipocrites and that is the one thing in this world that I can not stand. Get a life people, make a choice a stick by it. Either you hate America and Americans or you don't, make up your minds. Don't say you hate us and then cry to us for help !  Also don't condemn us and what we stand for and then want to come and live in our country. Don't come to America and then try to change our way of life and expect us to cater to you.&lt;br /&gt;If you are coming here, Pledge Allegiance to our Flag and Country or get the hell back in your own and stay there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have been fighting over there since the beginning of time and mostly over land and religion. Shouldn't everyone in the world have the right to believe in whatever religion they want, without  someone else telling them it is right or wrong.  I mean in the end we are all going to die and God will be the one to sort it all out, so why can't people just live there own lives the way they believe.

With the way the terrorist activity is these days and has been in the past I really don't see what the big deal is after all, the airline was just looking out for the rest of the passengers. I mean can they really take a chance considering everything that is going on in the world now and how everyone seems to hate the people in the West. I think for safety reasons that the airline company did the right thing, Why would anybody want to take that risk and not at least check into it. I do in one way feel sorry for the family and what they had to go through but I also think that the airline did the right thing. And at least when it was all over they did help them find other flights and also reimburse them for their tickets and paid for the tickets of the new flights that they had to take. I am very sure that it was very embarrassing to the family but they also have to understand that the airline was just looking out for the safety of the other passengers and not willing to take a risk. I guess what you have to do is consider that, what if the airlines wouldn't of checked into these people and they would have been terrorist, once the airplane was in the air and then they realized they had terrorist onboard then what could they have possibly done. Is it really worth putting lives of hundreds of people at risk just to avoid embarrassing and few individuals. I know myself that if I was on that plane and there was any question in my mind or anyone else's, that I would expect the airline company to do exactly the same thing, wouldn't you? After all, doesn't everybody in America remember what happened on 9/11.      &lt;br /&gt;Or have they already forgotten, I know I have not.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-1516860726359841594?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/1516860726359841594/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/01/airlines-and-terrorist.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/1516860726359841594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/1516860726359841594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2009/01/airlines-and-terrorist.html' title='Airlines and Terrorist'/><author><name>BOF-L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06683400108995541593</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723765634634366370.post-6909194124686561332</id><published>2009-01-02T09:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-02T09:21:55.047-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama</title><content type='html'>I wonder how long it will take for the American people to start looking down on Obama the way they look down on Bush.

When are the American people going to open their eyes and figure out that the congress are the screw ups.&lt;br /&gt;When Clinton was in office he did one of the best things that could ever have been done and that was the line item veto.

So I ask, why should anyone care ? Let Isreal level the place, then problem solved. Maybe if they just dropped a big bomb on them, kind of the way it was done in Japan many years ago all their crap over there would stop. I mean Japan took notice and didn't want anymore, so why wouldn't it be the same over there.&lt;br /&gt;The part that I like best is that they are on the news crying about women, children and innocent people being killed. Well, when they are being hunted and are hiding behind women and children, I say that the innocent people being killed is their own fault and that is on their shoulders.  I say tell the  chicken &lt;a href="mailto:s#@&amp;amp;S"&gt;s#@&amp;amp;S&lt;/a&gt; to step out and stop hiding behind them so they can just kill you.

I know with my work and I am sure all of your jobs, a pay raise is based on how well you are doing your job and how well you are producing.  Well, shouldn't their pay raises be decided the same way and shouldn't the people who elected them be the ones that make that decision. After all, they do work for us, the people, do they not ? If I could make the decision of giving myself a pay raise any time that I wanted, it would be very nice, but I can not, it is up to my employers.  I personally do not see that they have deserved one in any way what so ever.

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their butts, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?&lt;br /&gt;I ask, is it right to hand out money to freeloaders so they can spend it on drugs.

They are saying a student should not be failed in a class because it is telling them that they are a failure. Well, is that  not what they have done and not what they are in that course ?  What is going on?  If you are not making an effort or not going to class then that is exactly what you are and should do, is fail.  If you are going to pass a student no matter whether he makes an effort or not or shows up for class or not then what is the purpose of even having a school to begin with. Also, what is it that you think you are telling a student that actually puts out the effort or the extra effort to do well in school.  If there is no way that you can fail a class then why should they put any effort into studying. It seems to me that if  a teacher is not allowed to fail a student then they are telling kids that they do not need to make an effort and also telling teachers that they have no need to make an effort either. Come on people, call it what it is,  F  is for failure, because you are not or will not or do not care about anything, anybody or yourself or what you are doing so you have failed or are a failure. If you really care or even interested in trying and making an effort, then there is always help out there, but, you have to be willing to try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, again I ask you America;  What are you thinking ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-8914744568141341011?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/8914744568141341011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2008/12/school-and-grades.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/8914744568141341011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/8914744568141341011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2008/12/school-and-grades.html' title='School and Grades'/><author><name>BOF-L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06683400108995541593</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723765634634366370.post-6121294985308658439</id><published>2008-12-09T19:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T19:03:06.338-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Big 3</title><content type='html'>Someone wanted me to comment on the big 3 bail out. Well, I say sell the jets and fly the way the poor boys fly.  When it cost $20,000 to fly those boys to Washington to ask for $25 billion of our tax dollars when it could of cost only a few hundred per person to fly a regular airline, I say that’s pissing money away like the fools they are. And if our government gives it to them then they are fools too !  Don’t they know that the one asking for the money are the same ones that ran this company into the ground.  Let me ask you this for example: (If a man on the street ask you for money to get something to eat because he is starving and you give it to him, that is generous of you.  But, if you watch what he does with it and he goes and buys smokes or a beer, then I ask who is the fool and would you keep giving him more)  Why would anyone even consider giving $25 billion to these people. You have a CEO that is making what, $15 million a year and he ruins this company and then asks for our tax dollars to bail him out. I think he is just securing his own future paycheck and benifits. I say get rid of him and all of the other over paid executives.  If I was going to give out $25 billion to a company, I had better be owning it.  Put the jets up for sale, put the company up for sale, get rid of the dead weight. If they are going to get the money  then let the employees own it, the working employees, not the over paid suits.

Why in the world we live in today have over 600,000 children went hungry in America this last year. A country with so much power and so many riches, how can we let our  children starve. We hand out money to other countries, to failing companies, to wall street fools that give millions to lobbying groups and their own executives but we can’t do a thing  to feed our own starving children in this country. I watch the television some everyday and I see all the things our government pisses money away on, our tax money that we have no say in what it is used on even though we are the ones earning it and giving it away, (rather we are forced to hand it to our all mighty government and they give it away)  When will the day come, when will we have a President and a government that will put America and it’s people first. All I ever see and hear  from our government is, oh we work so hard, we need a pay raise so lets vote ourselves more money. Or let’s do something for another country so they will like us and be our friend and let us do what ever we want in their country. Piss on them, what about us ? What about right here at home ?  What about our people, our children ?&lt;br /&gt; WHAT ARE THEY THINKING ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-4681726657288671288?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/4681726657288671288/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2008/12/hungry-children.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/4681726657288671288'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/4681726657288671288'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2008/12/hungry-children.html' title='Hungry Children'/><author><name>BOF-L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06683400108995541593</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723765634634366370.post-3444153991005481730</id><published>2008-12-09T19:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T19:01:29.649-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What are they thinking</title><content type='html'>Politics&lt;br /&gt;You know the more I watch the news and the more I hear about government bailing out this company and that company, I wonder what happened to  a government for the people.  I realize that our representatives are there to represent the people in each state, but it seems to me that all they do anymore is represent whats good for big companies and special interest groups.  They are handing out money to  all of these big companies (our hard earned money we pay in taxes) to bail them out of financial problem that they and their high paid CEO’s and other executives have gotten themselves into.  Why is it that one should be rewarded for failure ?  If I ran a large company and was making millions of dollars a year in salary and stocks, I would expect from myself the best possible job I could do. But, it seems that now days it really does matter, it seems to be looked at, at least from my point of view is that it doesn’t matter if the companies go broke from the job being done our government will bail them out and the execs. will still continue to receive their millions. What are they thinking ??  They are giving billions and billion of our tax money to these companies and why, so they can do it again ! You know it makes more sense to me that instead of giving out money to bail out investment companies so that they can go on their elaborate executive vacations that were supposedly all ready planned and also pay out those million dollars salaries they should give the money to the individuals that were invested into these losers.  I don’t know about the rest of the U.S. but in my world if things aren’t going well, my vacations get canceled, I don’t go anyway and spend what should be someone elses money.  Same with our government, the economy is in turmoil and they go on vacation, What are they thinking ??&lt;br /&gt;You know, I work, I pay taxes, I build too much debt, I go broke, no one is there to help me, the individual. They are all running the other way and saying to bad, so sad, you should of cut back, changed the way you are doing business. But, do not dispare there is one group that will not be running away from you and they are the IRS , they will be running to you to get the rest of what you have and what you may have in the future. Taking more of what we don’t have and giving it out to these big companies that are losing billions so they can do it again or government is voting themselves pay raises. They want to help the economy, then help the individual and not with a mini check that does no good for anyone. I would like to honestly know how much good did that $300 dollar (mini check) really do for you ?  Did even the people on welfare that have not worked most of their lives get one too, now these mini checks might have benefited them. Don’t get me wrong I’m not condemning the good people on welfare that actually need it, who can not work, but I am condemning the ones that can but are not. Lets (our government) reward them for being lazy and give them money, food stamps, medical cards instead of get off of their collective lazy butts and get a job. Let them have the food stamps, let them have the medical card, take away the cash and make them get a job. It’s a simple money saving fix.  What are they thinking, our government ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2723765634634366370-3444153991005481730?l=bof-l.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/feeds/3444153991005481730/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-are-they-thinking.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/3444153991005481730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2723765634634366370/posts/default/3444153991005481730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bof-l.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-are-they-thinking.html' title='What are they thinking'/><author><name>BOF-L</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06683400108995541593</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
