Seems like John Kerry is not popular with one group of Marines. As the Kerry entourage stopped at a Wendy’s, Kerry spotted a group of marines there, and went over to talk to them. Since they did not bow down and kiss his rear end they were described as being a little short with the wanna be President, and absentee Senator. I say absentee because while campaigning he has done absolutely nothing for the people he represents. Actually I don’t think he did much for his constituents before running for president but that’s for another time and another post. I have several imaginative captions for this picture, such as, “You will bow down before me now, or I’ll wreck your career” or “You will vote for me or lose those stripes”. Read the story:
Here and Here
I am glad to see that the contempt that the Vietnam Era Veteran feels for this traitor has been passed down to the new generation of fighting man. I happened to check out what the democratic underground has been saying about this and I am glad that i still have a screen to view. Most of it used foul language to assault the character of these Marines, refers to them as being brainwashed, uneducated, and even more hateful stuff. News to them. There is nothing disrespectful in giving short answers to questions. I did it all the time, as many times there is no time to give long drawn out answers. Military personnel are encouraged to give yes sir/no sir answers. This was not classified as disrespect in my book. What I ddi see as disrespectful was Kerry Pointing.
Anyway, that’s my rant for today. Semper Fi Marines.

As I was catching up on my internet news I came upon this wonderful article on the “Frontiers of Freedom” website, about Subway Sandwiches and how they advertise thier sandwiches in Germany. I will never buy another of their sandwiches, so Quizno’s should send them a thank you letter. Read this to see what i am talking about:
Subway Sandwiches
How dare this American Company portray Americans as fat and sloppy. And to portray the Statue of liberty the way they did in the poster at the bottom of the page is deplorable. I want to know why I am not seeing this in the news. This should be broadcast on Fox and on all of the Clinton News outlets.
An American company that would put out this anti-American trash, needs to be exposed to the American people. Then they could feel free to close up shop here in the United States and move to Germany as now real American would buy their product after this insult.

Hiya folks, I am really sorry for not making it today.
I didn’t realize today was the Gay Pride Parade. As they have all the streets in the area blocked off and I am unfamiliar with that area of town I became lost and disoriented. After almost getting in an automobile accident, and having no clue where CSSE was located I started looking for a familiar landmark. Once I finally found University Ave and wound up going the wrong way, I started using your housing as a reference, but again I could get nowhere close to CSSE. I decided to head for home instead.
Judy and Steve managed to find their way there through some back alleys and such, something I wouldn’t even attempt and they should be able to handle any of your issues. Again I am sorry, and hope to see you next time.

As frequent visitors to my blog know I was on the jury that recommended the death penalty for Scott Erskine. Tomorrow he gets sentenced. I hope that I can get off work to go to the sentencing, but I have a feeling that won’t happen as we are in a crucial point of training for my students.
If I get a chance to go I will get down to the courthouse and report on it. If not I will post the local news stories with links.
Well upon checking the court schedule I have found that it’s not going to happen tomorrow. I’m still digging and will post when he is sentenced.

I find it very hard to stomach the BS Edwards is spouting about the health care system. After all, everyone has free health care. If you get in an accident all you have to do is go to the nearest emergency room and you are taken care of, health care or not. They can not turn anyone away. Why do you think the illegal immigrants love it here? Those that have insurance have to pay.
Now, what makes health care so expensive? Malpractice lawsuits is what drives up the costs. You know the exact lawsuits that dragged John Edwards out of his impoverished beginnings to being a multimillionaire. Now he wants to fix the health care sytem that he damaged to make his wealth. Sorry dude, I don’t and won’t buy it. This guy found one argument (and it has been proved bogus) and by selectively choosing only certain cases of young children suffering from Cerebral Palsy, turned it into a cash cow.
Do you really think he is going to go against his lawyer buddies and ruin this cash cow for them? No, he and Kerry are going to solve the health care crisis by taxing the ever loving hell out of the middle and lower upper class to support their giveaway to the trial lawyers. I am so tired of hearing “tax breaks for the rich”, I want to scream. The rich cover their assets by offshore tax free investments. Who fields the tax hikes? The folks like me, retired military with a new career and a wife that works. That throws me up above 6 figures and into the pay for the folks that don’t want to work category.
Whenever I run into a person that is spouting the “tax breaks for the rich” point paper, I ask “how much did you pay in taxes last year?”. The answer generally is none. Then I ask “What tax breaks do you want since you don’t have to pay any?” They are left speechless, much like when folks tell me bogus war and I ask them, “do you want us to fight them over there, or at your local mall?”
If the Republican Party does not exploit how John Edwards gained his wealth, then they do not deserve to win.

I really hope they find the person responsible for this and hang them out to dry.
Poison
I find someone that would do this especially sick. even though the ricon was not in it’s most lethal form, when given to a baby, who knows what would happen.

Well, so far while I would not waste my time watching the Democratic National Convention, I have been reading to see if anything new is offered. So far all I have been able to find out is that even though they have toned it down you still have the “Bush is Bad, Kerry is Good” message.
I want to find out what Kerry plans to do about illegal immigration (my biggest issue), and since nothing is being said, I guess he is going to do the same thing Bush has been doing, nothing. If just one candidate would come forward and say they were going to enforce immigration laws, they would get my vote.
How anyone anywhere in government can tell me they are protecting me from terroism, while releasing illegals when they are caught, when they catch them in the first place is beyond me. The reason we can’t find Usama Bin Laden, is because he is probably living in the Los Angeles underground, as easy as it is to get across our border.
As I listen to the issues, gay marriage, abortion, the economy, the war and who lied I ask myself, who cares. Why are people more worried about two gay guys poking each other legally than being blown up at their local mall? Have we forgotten about the World Trade Center and 9/11?
Hollywood is quick to make a crockumentary about the Bush/Bin Laden ties, anti-military, anti-American film. Where is the film showing these guys getting into this coutry in the first place? Where is the film that shows how they got away with living here, and being trained here to kill 3000 Americans?
You won’t see it because it might offend the illegals, which would be politically incorrect. Political correctness is going to get us killed and end the United States as we know it. We will become a Third World Nation as the bombings start happening here, and they will happen here folks.
As the terrorists who are probably already here, take position in thier target city of choice one morning we are going to see several big booms, thousands if not millions killed, followed by Stock Market crash, fear and lawlessness as the government will not be able to take care of the multiple crisis.
Why is this going to happen? It’s because those that are in power are more worried about keeping power than using the power to protect the people. As November approaches vote for the people that will keep you safe. Look at who’s running for the Senate and House. Look at who’s running for local office. Vote for those who will take a stance against all illegals, Mexican, Filipino, Chinese, Muslem, South American and all others.
Instead of looking how to expedite legal status for law breakers, lawmakers need to protect us from these lawbreakers, before we have no country left to enforce the laws in.

Today I went to the store to buy the wife’s favorite beverage, Coca-Cola, and the store was out. I asked a store employee what gives and was told that they are on strike. This was news to me until I got home and started looking through the local news. needless to say the wife is crushed as she thinks Pepsi is too sweet. I got her some lemonade and Tropical Soda and if all else fails some Margarita Wine Coolers. Coca-Cola Protest
LAST UPDATE: 7/20/2004 6:42:19 PM
Employees at the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of San Diego went on strike Tuesday in a labor dispute hinging on healthcare issues.
The employees, members of Teamsters Local 683, began the strike at midnight, according to a message on the union’s hotline.
“We will offer to sit down with the company and discuss coming to a resolution on this contract,” the union’s recorded message to employees says.
The message also instructs employees to arrive for their normal shifts so they can walk picket lines.
Union officials were unavailable for comment: Coca-Cola
