Denzel Washington….Good Man

Denzel Washington….Good Man

Remember this next time you walk up to the ticket window of your local movie theater with $10   in your hand.  

The   Media (Accidently?) Missed  this  one!!!! 

The   troops oversees would like you to send it  to everybody you know. Don’t   know whether you  heard about this  but  Denzel   Washington  and  his family  visited the troops at    Brook Army Medical Center , in San   Antonio ,    Texas   (BAMC) the other day. This is where  soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany  come to be hospitalized in the United States ,  especially burn  victims. There are some  buildings there called Fisher Houses.  

The  Fisher House is a Hotel where soldiers’ families  can stay, for little or no charge, while their  soldier is staying in the Hospital. BAMC has  quite a few of these houses on base, but as you  can imagine, they are almost filled most of the  time.  

While  Denzel  Washington was  visiting  BAMC, they gave him a tour of one  of the Fisher Houses. He  asked how much  one of them would cost to build. He took his  checkbook out and wrote a check for the  full   amount  right there on the spot. The soldiers overseas  were amazed to hear this story and want to get  the word out to the American public, because it  warmed their hearts  to hear  it.  

The  question is:  why   do:
Brad   Pitt, Madonna,  Tom  Cruise and other Hollywood fluff  make  front page news with their ridiculous  antics and  Denzel  Washington’s Patriotism  doesn’t  even make page 3 in the Metro section of any  newspaper except the Local newspaper in San  Antonio .

Remember.  . . .A Veteran – whether active duty, retired,  national guard or reserve – is someone who, at one  point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable  to ‘The United States of America’, for an amount of  ‘up to and including my life.’

That is honor,  and there are way too many people in this country  who no longer understand it.

They Walk Among Us

They Walk Among Us

I doubt that half of this shit is true, but funny none the less.

A DC ‘airport ticket agent’ offers some examples of why the US is in so much trouble!

 
1.  I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for
an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn’t get messed up by being near the window.
 
2.  I got a call from a Kansas Congressman’s (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town  I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ”I’m not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts …”
 
Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ”Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Cape Town is in South Africa …”
His response — click..
 
3.  A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that’s not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.
 
He replied, ‘Don’t lie to me!, I looked on the map, and Florida is a very THIN state!!”
 
4.  I got a call from a lawmaker’s wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ”Is it possible to see England from Canada ?”
I said, ”No.”
She said, ”But they look so close on the map”
 
5.  An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas .. I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas …. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ”I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.”
 
6.  An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.
 
I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn’t understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.
 
7.  A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ”Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?” I said, ‘No, why do you ask?’
 
He replied, ”Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I’m overweight. I think that’s very rude!”
 
After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT – Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..
 
8.  A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ”Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?”
 
9.  I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala. who asked, ”How do I know which plane to get on?”
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ”I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.”
 
10  Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ”I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?”
I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola and fly on a commuter plane.
She said, ”Yeah, whatever, smarty!”
 
11  Mary Landrieu, La. Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. “Oh, no I don’t.. I’ve been to China many times and never had to have one of those.”
I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ”Look, I’ve been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!”
 
12  A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ”I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .”
I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ”Are you sure that’s the name of the town?”
‘Yes, what flights do you have?” replied the man.
After some searching, I came back with, ”I’m sorry, sir, I’ve looked up every airport code in the country and can’t find a rhino anywhere.”
 
”The man retorted, ”Oh, don’t be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!”
So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ”You don’t mean Buffalo , do you?”
The reply? ”Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.”
 
Now you know why the Government is in the shape it’s in!
 
Could ANYONE be this DUMB?
 
YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.
 
I don’t write it, I just offer it for your consideration.
Gettin’ Old Sucks

Gettin’ Old Sucks

Sixty is the worst age to be,” said the 60-year-old man.

“You always feel like you have to pee, and most of the time you stand there and get nothing.”

“Ah, that’s nothing,” said the 70-year-old.

“When you’re seventy, you don’t have a bowel movement any more.
You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the toilet all day and get nothing!”

“Actually,” said the 80-year-old, “Eighty is the worst age of all.”

“Do you have trouble peeing, too?” asked the 60-year old.

“No, I pee every morning at 6:00.

I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all.”

“So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?”

“No, I have one every morning at 6:30.”

Exasperated, the 60-year-old said,

“You pee every morning at 6:00 and poop every morning at 6:30.
So what’s so bad about being 80?”

“I don’t wake up until 7:00.”

Ironic Don’t You Think

The food stamp program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is pleased to be distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever.


Meanwhile, the Park Service, also part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to “Please Do Not Feed the Animals” because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.

Social Security….Nothing Secure About It

Social Security….Nothing Secure About It

Our Social Security
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,

No longer Voluntary

2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,

Now 7.65% on the first $90,000

3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,

No longer tax deductible
4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,

Under Johnson the money was moved to
The General Fund and Spent

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Under Clinton & Gore
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month —
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —-

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— —-

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

———— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— ——— –

Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That’s right!
Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!

———– — ———— ——— —– ———— ——— ———
Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
 
A  Nod to Sarge over at a herd of turtles
Obama Blows More Smoke….

Obama Blows More Smoke….

….up his Obamabots asses, I’m not falling for it.

Speaking Thursday afternoon in Newton, Iowa, President Barack Obama pitched his idea for $5 billion in new tax credits for companies that manufacture equipment—such as windmill blades and solar panels—for “clean energy” companies.
“Nobody wants a handout,” Obama said. “Nobody wants to get something for nothing.”

Really….

Sorry for the Maher shot at the start, he was probably aghast at the implications of this clip.
Now what about the Green Energy parasites…they want something for nothing…and they got it.

But wait theres more….remember “nobody wants a handout, nobody wants something for nothing”. What a clueless idiot.
