You can tell a lot about a person by how they view our military

You can tell a lot about someone by the way they view our military

Let me be clear, there is a difference between the rank and file versus the leadership in Washington. Although I may see the average rank and file Democrat as misguided and ill-informed, I don’t see them as inherently evil. The Democrat leadership, on the other hand, I do see as inherently evil. I would offer Nancy Palosi, Harry Reid and Obama as examples.

I was raised a Democrat but managed to think for myself and didn’t follow the path of actually believing the Democrat rhetoric and mantra of, “The Democrats are for the poor man and the Republicans are for the rich man.” In fact I believe that statement to be patently false.

The Republican leadership has always preached less government and enabling everyone – rich and poor alike, to achieve their dreams. The Democrat leadership, on the other hand believes you’re too stupid to make it on your own and you need the government (and specifically them) to make it.

What I see today is the dope-smoking hippies of the 60s (my era) now running the country; into the ground and up the access ramp to hell to be specific. They still believe that they are entitled to whatever you have. You know, “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine.”

I remember how to this day I get annoyed at an old song from the 70s by a group called the 5-man-electrical band. That band and the band that covered the song sang, “…so I jumped on the fence and yelled to the house, HEY, what gives you the right to put up a sign to keep me out or to keep mother nature in!”

I’ll tell you what gives them the right, they worked their ass off to pay for the house and you didn’t. If you want your own house so you can go out and put up a ‘no trespassing’ sign, go out and get a job and earn it! Those who haven’t earned something generally don’t have any pride or interest in preserving it.

Our military men and women have earned our respect. They don’t demand it but they have earned it.

Our military men and women and their families have been treated as second class throw-aways who are expendable by the current Democrat administration. I’m disgusted!

It’s important to remember that until recently the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate and the White House. They were charged with providing a budget for the nation. They not only didn’t provide one, they didn’t even attempt to provide one. Now after spending more money – our money to a tune that is greater than all money spent between 1776 and 2005 they want to continue on this trend. They have what it takes to take what you have – just like the hippy on the fence yelling to the house.

These hypocrites who would want us to believe they are right down there with us are filthy rich. Their are more millionaire Democrats than Republicans in Washington, D.C. but they still want you to believe they are poor and struggling.

We were just faced with a budget battle that pitted a Republican Congress who wanted to put the brakes on this wild spending and reduce the budget by $100 billion against a Democrat leadership who not only didn’t want to reduce spending but actually wanted to increase spending, i.e. business-as-usual.

One of the things at the heart of this debate was whether our military was going to be paid or not. We have faced budget showdowns before but never has a President and his ilk been so inherently open with their contempt for the hard working men and women of our military and their families. They said putting a separate rider in to make sure the military was paid on time was a “distraction”. A distraction, eh?

The Republicans wanted to make sure our fine military folks were paid during this debate. The Speaker of the House said he would not take his pay until a deal was worked out. One Democrat said she would not return the money, that she had bill and student loans to pay. Like our military men and women don’t?? What arrogance! Obama and the Democrats would still be paid but decided the military men and women were just expendable nuisances for them and wouldn’t be paid on time. They aren’t fit to carry the dirty laundry of our military men and women! They disgust me.

Around 1995-’96 our government ‘shut down’, but Bill Clinton still made sure our military was paid. What has happened to us? It’s a rhetorical question. Obama and the current batch of socialist hippies who run the country is what has happened.

Recently we had a whole batch of Democrats thrown out of office in what could only be construed as a referendum. The 2012 election is coming up and we need to finish the job. We need to get rid of those selfish career politicians who are destroying our country and that includes RINOS (Republicans-in-name, only) while they get rich and continue to draw pensions after only serving one term while the rest of us have to actually earn a living and watch them take a bigger and bigger bite out of our earning to give to pet projects and to our enemies who hate our guts.

It’s time to elect folks who believe we need to live within our budget, just like you and I have to do at home and who honor our military men and women with the respect they deserve.
