Reckless

Using recklessness as their word of the day, CONgressional candidates Staci Appel-sauce for brains and Jim Mowrer followed the Rahm Emanuel philosophy of never wanting a serious crisis to go to waste.

The two blamed Tom Latham and Steve King for the Department of Defense not paying the standard death benefit to the families of those killed in action.

BUZZ--WRONG!

The Pay Our Military Act provides pay and allowances during the 17% government shutdown.

In his memo of Guidance for Implementation of Pay Our Military Act, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel lists Examples of activities that provide support to service members on an ongoing basis are:

Health Care Activities and Providers
SAPRO, Behavorial Health, and Suicide Prevention Programs
Transition Assistance Programs for Military Members in actives service
Family Support Programs and Activities

Only cold hearted bastards who block access to public monuments and parks, but allow illegals to gather in such spaces, would take that to mean it's okay to deny legal benefits to our military and their families.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

CNN reported that on Sept. 27, days before the shutdown began, the Pentagon was already telling reporters it planned to suspend death benefits.So for two weeks, the Obama administration has been anticipating this nightmare would come to pass — and did nothing to pre-empt it.

In an effort to cover its ass, on Wednesday, the White House also says it has directed its lawyers to work with the Office of Management and Budget and the Pentagon to find a solution outside of legislative action.

President Obama?

I came across an article, A President Barack Obama, it ponders what America could expect...












An Obama appointment of Hillary Clinton to the Supreme Court bench as soon as an opening occurs.

Retiring U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., as defense secretary; Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick as attorney general; New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a political independent, at treasury; Susan Rice as national security advisor; Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as secretary of state.

Obama’s tax policy will have an immediate effect on small businesses and result in many individuals seeing their marginal tax rate double.

“Obama knows that if you try to impose things like racial quotas and gay marriage, that would not be a vote-winner. But if you appoint federal judges who impose those policies, you can evade responsibility.”

“He would, however, favor a very strong government hand in regulating the economy, both because he believes that government knows best and because that means more subsidies and jobs to hand out to supporters, and more votes and PAC contributions to get in return.

It would be the beginning of Obamageddon and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Sniper fire?

Did Joe Biden have a Hillary sniper fire moment at a Chicago fundraiser?

With machismo, and the scientific community is united in that fact, Biden related how he'll handle Sarah Palin in their debate...

He'll ask her about "The superhighway of terror between Pakistan and Afghanistan where my helicopter was forced down...

For the record, the helicopter carrying Biden landed after enduring a snowstorm.

The pilot landed about 12 miles from the air base in friendly territory.

Biden, along with Senators John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, were driven back to the base in a seven vehicle convoy.

Biden said then...Traveling down the snow-covered mountain in the dark of night was the most dangerous part.

Rant

This reminded me of Dennis Miller, but it comes from Doug Patton. Patton is a free lance columnist. I'm passing on the ones I found interesting.

Things I'm sick of hearing
By DOUG PATTON

I'm sick of hearing Ted Kennedy tell me how unfair it is that the rich have more than the poor. When he redistributes his portfolio among the less fortunate, then I might have a modicum of respect for the old windbag. Until then, he can just shut up and keep his greedy hands off my modest income.

I'm sick of hearing John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Arlen Specter and Chuck Hagel blather on about what is fair and decent and right, as if only they have the righteous understanding to know such things.

I'm sick of hearing that everyone has a right to be proud of his or her race, creed, gender, sexual preference, marital status, religion and national origin - everyone except happily married conservative white male heterosexual Christian Americans.

I'm sick of hearing that Islam is a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a radical few. Of the approximately 1.5 billion Muslims in the world today, it has been estimated that at least 150 million of them are in support of the goals of worldwide terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda. That's a pretty big hijacking. If ten percent of American Christians supported abortion clinic bombers, we would all be under surveillance.

I'm sick of hearing political correctness on every TV show. King Solomon was right when he said there is nothing new under the sun, but come on, Hollywood, get an idea in your heads that doesn't involve bashing Republicans, conservatives, pro-lifers, businessmen, Christians, the Pentagon or the NSA.

I'm sick of hearing that requiring people to learn English is discriminatory. You bet it is, and that is a good thing. I was raised to believe that discriminating people were ones with high standards. We have made the word "discriminate" synonymous with "bigotry." That is nonsense.

Finally, I'm sick of hearing that America is a nation of immigrants. I welcome anyone from anywhere who yearns to legally breathe free and who will swear allegiance to my country, but don't call me an immigrant. My ancestors have been in this country since well before the Civil War, and my wife's ancestry extends back before the founding of this nation. Read my lips: as for me and my house, we are not immigrants. We are Americans!
