Don't cross the border

Yep,time for the P&R. Which is why this belonged there in the first place.

And, for all of you lambasting the People in Washington, I will tell you the same thing I used to tell folks when I was in the Navy and they asked where from I told them "Washington, DC" I immediately got "You came from that town full of ()*(*%#'s???" Well, it's a fact that NO ONE in DC has a SINGLE voting representative. All those *&%&# Congressmen and Senators were elected and sent to DC by YOU, BABY!!!! Clean YOUR OWN HOUSE before you come sweeping mine!

If you have no voting  for representatives, people in DC can't clean their house, so the American people will.
Besides, everyone in Washington ain't bad, your from there. There is some hope for the place.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Just pointing out that the people who actually have to live here (read that suffer) with those representatives often get slammed instead of the politicians. Kind of like the hotel staff getting heat for the rowdy borders.

Just wana say two things: While those that know me personally may disagree,, I am not predijousIn my 50 years I have had MANY DEAR Friends of "differant color". ( I cant spell nor correct my typing errors!!):0 #2,, I feel this thread would be better in the P&R. Man am I in trouble now!!Sorry. Tim. Just to clarify my position,,,,, this thread started out IMO perfectly apropriate for the "Back Room". It has however IMO progressed to the point of where I feel it may be better in P&R. As my Dad used to tell me when he put me on as shop foreman,,, Son: I did not give you this job to win any popularity contests!!:p LOL!!

As a 20 year veteran, I'm sickened EVERY day with what I read and see in the news. What the politicians andelected officialsare doing (have the GALL to do) to this once proud country is a total shame and disaster. Some say you can never go back. Some call it progress. Bull s#%t. And make no mistake, I vote EVERY time there is an election, national, state or local. I echo MANY of the comments made here. I hold no grude against ANY peoples unless they havean agenda that includes eliminating another race. If you do, my guns are loaded and ready.

I took my oath VERY seriously when I swore to support and defend the constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. And to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. SO HELP ME GOD!!!!! I still repeat that oath over and over. It's not something that goes away when the enlistment contract expires. Your WORD does not have a shelf life, or at least it shouldn't. It will forever ring true for me until I draw my last breath as a free citizen of these United States.

I've recently joined a local patriots group. Hopefully we can start another epidemic, to counter the one that has a head start on us here. I think the majority of good citizens will join in so our voices CAN be heard and no longer ignored. These carpet bagging, pocket lining, self serving jerks MUST go. There's also a place to help all of us get organized HERE[/i]. Please feel free to look the site over and see if you might want to use it to channel your thoughts and help join those that believe the direction this country is goingis the WRONG way.

I'm tired of seeing all of the industry that helped make this country strong being forced to leave our shores and head tothird world countries or have to close their door completely.Our money goes to support THEIR economy. While they hold us prisoner with trade laws and import/export taxes. And seeing the shelves of our stores being filled with ANYTHING but Made In America. I live in a small rural area in Tennessee. I can show you within a 5 miles radius of my home, at least 8 empty factory sites that use to manufacture or assemble some of the best equipment available. They employed thousands of US citizens. They supported this country with their taxes and the local economy boomed. The impact of them having to close is almost beyond imagination. There's just TOO much wrong with THIS progress to get it all down in a post. Like others here have said, I will not offer any apology for my statements and beliefs. I'm just sick of watching our country being sold off one industry at a time. I'm tired of borrowing trillions from other countries for foolish reasons that is QUICKLY taking us away from being the world power and leader we once were. We were respected as well as feared. We are now owned by other countries and have to bend to their wishes because we now OWE them for all we haveborrowed. And we never collected from the last World War and ALL of the millions we gaveother countriesthrough thelend/lease program. We loaned them money, machines and materials to help them fight an enemy, survive and rebuild. Can we renig on our depts to other countries like theydid?? Nope.....we're America.

So,I'll step down from my soap box, for now. Come November 2010, if they are in they are out. That will be mymantra as I pull the lever in the voting booth. I hope you all do the same.

GOD Bless America and all you fine patriots!!!!!!!
