Reopening the Openly Gays In the Military Debate

As reported today in the Army Times Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass., reintroduces his Military Readiness Enhancement Act. The Act will do away with the Don’t Ask and Don’t tell policy and switch to openly allowing gays in the military. Rep. Meehan feels that now that there is a Democratic majority in the House and Senate he feels that they now have a chance to further open the door to allow gays in the military.

There is one problem that no one is mentioning about gays in the military will be the additional cost for quarters. The military does put men and women in the same barracks bay. So do you put straight Men in with gay Men in the same barracks bay or straight women with gay women? This would be the same as having straight men sharing the barracks and bathroom facilities with women or vice versa.

The problem becomes evident when you have a straight woman housed with gay women (or men). While deployed to NAS Cubi Point in 1987 my squadron had a case where there were two gay women shared a room in the barracks with one straight woman. The gay women enjoyed watching the very attractive straight woman, which was made uncomfortable. The gay women even groped the straight woman. How does the straight woman prove that she ahs been groped, when there are two people testifying to one. Both lesbians were eventually discharged for being documented as lesbians.

The branch of the service that would be the hardest hit by this policy would be the Navy. The cost would be the additional demands for heads (bathrooms for you land lubbers) and berthing (bunks).

The second problem with gays in the military is that it causes disruptions in unit harmony; the addition of the sexual aspect causes additional problems. Heck the problem of two guys interested in the same woman causes enough problems. By adding men and women or straight men and gay men or straight women and gay women it only complicates the matter even more.

Al Gore the Environmental Hypocryte

With Al gore out front leading the Global Warming cause, evidence is starting to surface that he is doing what he is asking everyone else to do. In 2006 his 10,000 squarefoot home in Nashville, TN used 191,000 Kilowatt hours per year, where as the average home in that area used 15,600. All of this is according to the Associated Press. As mentioned on conservative talk radio, Al Gore owns threes homes across the country. See Gore defends his carbon credentials. I just don’t buy that carbon neutral thing. Did you or did you not create the carbon. At the same time, I also believe that the amount of carbon that man creates does not really impact the earth.

GOD Unauthorized at the UN

The UN has declared that there is global warming and that people are to blame for it. I agree that there may be global warming, but it has very little to do with people. The earth has warmed up and even had an ice age, but it has very little to do with the inhabitants. The earth warms up by it's self and the other factor is GOD. There is nothing mentioned in the UN that GOD and the earth it's self may have a huge part in global warming. I will say a prayer for the UN, because my GOD and his Son Jesus Christ would want me to do so.

Bought a New Car...LOL

We bought a new Lexus, you know the one that parks itself but had to return to the dealer the next day because I couldn't get the radio to work. The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated. "Nelson," the salesman said to the radio. The Radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?" "Willie!" he continued and "On the Road Again" came from the speakers. Then he said, "Ray Charles!", and in an instant "Georgia On My Mind" replaced Willie Nelson. I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, Soggy Bottom Boys," I'd get beautiful bluegrass music, and if I said, Beatles," I d get one of their awesome songs. Yesterday, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car, but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, "A-- Holes!" Immediately the French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on scotch. Gosh, I LOVE this car!!!

Al Gore and His Inconvenient Truth

Al Gore has betrayed our nation and played upon our fears. His promotion of his movie the Inconvenient Truth is based on an inconvenient truth that the global warming is caused by automobile exhausts. The inconvenient truth for Al Gore is that since 1930 the average temperature has only risen 0.7 degrees f. The mass increase in the number of automobiles has taken place during that time for only that small increase. I would argue that humans have very little impact on global warming. I would argue that the global warming is caused by nature.

Consensus is not science, it is only an opinion. Al’s movie is based on a consensus, decided by slanted opinions of scientists with an objective overlooking the truth. We need to remember that there were things refered to as the ice age in the history of the earth. Is it fair to assume that there were also warming/hot spells also? I would argue that is a fair assumption. I would argue that there is a higher power, that I refer to as God. I believe it is very arrogant to think we have more control over the climate and earth than God.

Al Gore has taken these opinions, made a movie and presented them as facts. Al Gore has taken this movie and pushed to get it shown throughout the public schools and scared our childern. Al Gore has betrayed the truth and played upon the fears of our children. He has scared the children that mommy and daddies cars are killing the polar bears.

If anything it is not momy and daddies cars that are killing the polar bears is would be all of the private jet flights that Al Gore is taking all over the country. Each of his private cross country jet flights consume more gas than the average car owner does in one year.

One last point, Al Gore’s wealth is from OIL Stocks inheritied from his daddy.

Barack Hussein Obama Doesn't Understand Iraq

But Wants to be The Commander In Chief

Barack Hussein Obama (Hussein really is his middle name) does not understand what is a success in Iraq is, so he calls it a defeat. When Tony Blair announced that the British will be withdrawing troops from Iraq, Barack Hussein Obama claimed that President Bush should follow Tony's lead and leave Iraq. Prime Minister Blair is withdrawing troops from that part of Iraq because it had been stabilized. Barack Hussein Obama either didn't understand what was going on or he is trying to deceive the American public.

How can you be a Commander in Chief, when you despise your very own military? The United States had the same problem under Bill Clinton, Bill and Hillary hated the military. The incident in the movie Blackhawk Down happened because Bill refused to allow the needed material to fight that battle. This is the same practice that the Democrats are trying to use on Iraq. Congressional Democratic Leaders have boasted that they intend to limit how we fight and what we use in Iraq. The end result will be that soldiers will die because of this.

Terrorist leaders have boasted that the United States does not have the will to survive a long drawn out battle. If the Democratic Party has their way, they will quit the war. Quitting is losing, even though we can win it. The Mainstream Media and the Liberal Left are trying to judge the war on the body count. The body count is less than one year of training deaths under Jimmy Carter.

As my liberal father-in-law (I didn't realize that he was a Regan Democrat) puts it, so what if there is another terrorist attack on the US, they won't hurt me or my family. He can not be any more wrong than that. Another large scale terrorist attack on the US will significantly hurt the economy, let alone a bunch of more dead Americans. Michigan’s economy does not need any more negative help; it sucks enough on its own. I can see that Barack Hussein Obama sees a terrorist attack on the US the same way as my liberal father-in-law, only a few will get hurt.

The real threat is that these Islamic fundamentalist see it as their responsibility to eliminate all of the non-believers of their faith. They see non-believers of their faith as non-Muslim and non-Arabic. If you were not born Arabic, you are not a good enough Muslim. This reminds me o f Hitler, which this region sided with during World War II.

So why does Barack Hussein Obama campaign in support of this behavior? My best guesses are:

1. 
   The Liberal Left provides the most money for his campaign.
2. 
   Barack Hussein Obama is one of the most Liberal Senators that hates that the United States is a world super power.
   
3. Barack Hussein Obama can not wait to see the military lose again.
   

Traitor is about to be honored - She Really IS a Traitor

This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear. Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century," BY BARBRA WALTERS.

Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam.

The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot:

The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison the "Hanoi Hilton."

Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.

He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward on to the camp Commandant's feet, which sent that officer berserk.

In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.

From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's):

He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton", the first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action". His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand.

When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper. Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.

I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a "black box" in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)

We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals.

"When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received... and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."

Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with large steel weights placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.

I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget..." 100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.

There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can it will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that we will never forget.

RONALD D. SAMPSON, CMSgt,
USAF716 Maintenance Squadron,
Chief ofMaintenance


Bloggers note: The movie "Hanio Hilton" is a good view of how this happened. I had heard all of these stories when I attended the Navy SERE School. I have the bias to believe that they are true and factual. I always thought that the Saturday Night Live news skit when they refered to the co-anchor, "Jane you ignorant slut," that they were talking about Jane Fonda. I still think that Jane and Ted Turner were a couple made for each other and desever each other.

The problem is that Barbra is getting more blatent in her bias and point of view. This is evidenced by her continuation of Rosie O'Donnel on Barbra's show the view.

Now This Was Cool

The plane is a US Navy P3-C Mod, belonging to Patrol Squadron 48 (VP-48) and was identified as plane SF-04 when the picture was taken. The picture was taken after I left the Squadron in June of 1989 and prior to being decommissioned on 23-May-1991. While assigned to VP-48 I was a member of Crew Four as an Aviation Anti-Submarine Warfare Operator (Acoustic) Petty Officer Third Class. While in the Reserves, was promoted to Second Class Petty Officer.

Understanding the Democrat Tax Strategies

Help in Understanding Democrat Tax Refunds If you don't understand the Democrats' version of tax refunds, this is for you: 50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund was then due. The team was about to mail refunds when a group of Congressional Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out the ticket refunds based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness. Originally the refunds were to be paid based on the price each person had paid for the tickets. Unfortunately that meant most of the refund money would be going to the ticket holders who had purchased the most expensive tickets. This, according to the DNC, is considered totally unfair. A decision was then made to pay out the refunds in this manner: People in the $10 seats will get back $15. After all, they have less money to spend on tickets to begin with. Call it an "Earned Income Ticket Credit." Persons "earn" it by having few skills, poor work habits, and low ambition, thus keeping them at entry- level wages. People in the $25 seats will get back $25, because it "seems fair." People in the $50 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don't need a refund. After all, if they can afford a $50 ticket, they must not be paying enough taxes. People in the $75 luxury box seats will each have to pay an additional $25 because it's the "right thing to do.” People walking past the stadium that couldn't afford to buy a ticket for the game each will get a $10 refund, even though they didn't pay anything for the tickets. They need the most help. Sometimes this is known as Affirmative Action.

Democratic Congress Wants More Troops to Die in Iraq

The news that the house passed the resolution against the troop surge in Iraq did not surprise me, it just hurt. I am so upset that the Democrats are willing to have our troops die so that they can get back into the presidency. Nancy Pelosi in her news conference stated that there needed to be a change in Iraq. Hello Nancy, that is what the surge is for you stupid idiot!!!

The only positive is that each and ever congressmen that voted for that worthless resolution, can no longer say that they support the troops without it being a blatant lie. That resolution is the biggest statement that the House of Representatives do not support our troops. How criminally wrong!!! This is the same problem we had in Somalia; our troops were denied the additional troops and equipment when they needed it. When our troops are denied additional equipment when they need it, additional troops die.

It is my hope that the Republican Senators have enough guts to hold together and block the vote on this resolution in the Senate. I am praying that this is what happens and that the Republican Senators have a spine.

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

Barack Hussein Obama Wants to Quit

Barrack Hussein Obama wants to quit on the war on terror. Barack Hussein Obama has wanted to quit since he has started to run for the US Senate. Barack Hussein Obama wants all of the troops to be out of Iraq by March of 2008. Don’t know why Barack Hussein Obama wants to quit on the war on terror.

Is Barack Hussein Obama touting quitting on the troops for political expediency, ergo going after the liberal political base? This left wing liberal base of the Democratic Party is the base which provides significant campaign contributions. This money is needed for any chance to run for the Presidency.

Is it that Barack Hussein Obama hates the military like the Bill and Hillary Clinton? Bill and Hillary hated the military and had a mass exit from the military. Under Bill and Hillary, re-enlistment in the military was a rarity. If Barack Hussein Obama was to be elected to the Presidency are we to expect to have our military subjected to the demoralization that it experienced under the Clinton’s again?

Is it that Barack Hussein Obama hates the United States of America? Yes, Hussein is his actual middle name.

The demand that the United States gets out of Iraq, is a form of hating our troops and the United States of America. How can Barack Hussein Obama be the President and Commander in Chief if he hates/has no respect for the troops? Barack Hussein Obama demanding that we get out of Iraq by March of 2008 is quitting on the troops. Demanding that we get the troops out of Iraq is putting America at risk for further significant attacks. By Barack Hussein Obama demanding that the United States get the troops out of Iraq, is demoralizing for the troops. The demoralization of the troops is a contradiction because these are the men and women that are the ones that fight for everyone’s right for freedom and freedom of speech.

So which is worse? Barack Hussein Obama, that wants to quit on our troops, or Hillary Clinton that is known to hate the military too.

Why Michigan Has the Second Highest Unemployment in the Country

Michigan has the second highest unemployment in the country because; every time our Governor speaks she can not help herself about talking about tax increases. The reality is that you can not tax a state in to prosperity.

The state congress finally pushed through getting rid of the single business tax to the point that the governor could no longer veto it no more. Now the governor says she needs to replace the tax. Michigan needed to get rid of the single business tax because it was blocking new jobs coming to the state. Although now that we have gotten rid of the single business tax, now we have our governor out there stating that she needs to raise taxes.

Michigan has high unemployment for several reasons from a manufacturing stand point:

• High taxes
• High labor wage rates
• Higher likely hood of getting a combative union than other parts of the country.
• Mandatory health insurance requirements that drive up the health care cost to labor.
• Less flexibility by the state and local governments on tax abatements.
• Track record of suing over tax abatements if targets are not met.
  

Although governor Granholm has succeeded in acquiring engineering and high tech jobs such as the Toyota Engineering Center and Google. That’s neat; there will be some trickle down jobs from those. Although, had Michigan aggressively went after the assembly plant as neighboring Ohio and Indiana did we would have had an assembly plant.

What is the big deal about an assembly plant? The transplant automotive manufactures make it requirement of their suppliers to have their plants with in a half hour of their plant. Instead of only adding 3000 to 5000 jobs, you are talking about doubling those numbers of jobs. On top of all of the increased jobs directly associated to the plant, there is typically a construction boom just for the housing alone. The failure was ignorance.

How do we make Michigan great again? Shut up about tax increases. The Engineering jobs are neat, but it does nothing to replace the thousands of blue collar jobs lost. The elimination of the Single Business Tax was needed to give Michigan a fighting chance. Every time there is talk of creating a new tax to replace the single business tax, who in their right mind would want to put a plant where they will be hit with another new tax. How do you negotiate tax abatement for a tax that is not there yet?

You can not tax your town/community/state back into prosperity. You have to believe in the theory that when you cut taxes, the increased prosperity due to the tax cut will generate more taxes than you received before. The greatest President of the 20th century Ronald Reagan proved this and so did President George W. Bush.

My choice of picture of the year

This is something you will never see in the news. Here's a tough, but heartwarming story and a picture of John Gebhardt in Iraq . His wife, Mindy, related that this little girl's entire family was executed. They intended to execute her also and shot her in the head, but they failed to kill her. She was cared for by John's hospital and is healing, but has been crying and moaning. The nurses said John is the only one she seems to calm down with, so John has spent the last four nights holding her while they both sleep in that chair. The girl is coming along with her healing.

*He is a real Star of the war and is representative of what America is trying to do. Please keep this going. Nothing will happen if you don't. The American public needs to see pictures like this and needs to realize that what we're doing over there is making a difference. Even if it is one little girl at a time.

Interesting How It Goes Around

Love him or loathe him, he nailed this one right on the head....

By Rush Limbaugh:

I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11. Well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country. If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million. If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable.

Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.

Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers.

We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.

You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in low-rent housing Make sense?

However, our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per month.

I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting.
