Adopt a Terrorist.- Too Good to Miss   The Canadians know how to handle complaints. Here is an example.  A Canadian female liberal wrote a lot of letters to the Canadian government, complaining about the treatment of captive insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter. She received back the following reply:   National Defense Headquarters  M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg., 15 NT  101 Colonel By Drive  Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2   Canada   Dear Concerned Citizen,   Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces, who were subsequently transferred to the Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.   Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here in Ottawa. You will be pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we are creating a new department here at the Department of National Defense, to be called 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers' program, or L.A.R.K. for short.   In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided, on a trial basis, to divert several terrorists and place them in homes of concerned citizens such as yourself, around the country, under those citizens personal care. Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence in Toronto next Monday.   Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud is your detainee, and is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint. You will be pleased to know that we will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with your recommendations. Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his 'attitudinal problem' will help him overcome those character flaws. Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling, however, we strongly recommend that you hire some assistant caretakers.   Please advise any Jewish friends, neighbours or relatives about your house guest, as he might get agitated or even violent, but we are sure you can reason with him. He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless in your opinion, this might offend him. Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him to demonstrate these skills either in your home or wherever you choose to take him while helping him adjust to life in our country.   Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters except sexually, since he views females as a form of property, thereby having no rights, including refusal of his sexual demands. This is a particularly sensitive subject for him.   You also should know that he has shown violent tendencies around women who fail to comply with the dress code that he will recommend as more appropriate attire. I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is all part of 'respecting his culture and religious beliefs' as described in your letter.   You take good care of Ahmed and remember that we will try to have a counselor available to help you over any difficulties you encounter while Ahmed is adjusting to Canadian culture.   Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when folks like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for our fellow man. Good luck and God bless you. Cordially,  Gordon O'Connor  Minister of National Defense

What is a Veteran?  

 Written by Father Dennis Edward O'Brien - USMC  

Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. 
Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together or a piece of shrapnel in the leg . 
Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept the world safe wear no badge or emblem. 
You can't tell a vet just by looking.

What is a vet?

 

He is the cop on the beat

 who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day

 making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. 

She - or he - is the nurse

 who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang.

 

He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back at all.

 

He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat -

but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-accounts and gang members into Marines,

and teaching them to watch each other's backs. 

He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by.

 

He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns,

whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery

must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes

 whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep.

He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket

who helped liberate a Nazi death camp

and who wishes all day long

 that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. 

He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being -

a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country,

and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs.

 

 
He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness,

 and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony

on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known. 

So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country,

 just lean over and say Thank You.

 

 

That's all most people need,

 

 

 

 and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded. 
Two little words that mean a lot,

"THANK YOU". 

Cell Phone Etiquette 

After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes. As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: 

"Hi sweetheart, its Eric. I am on the train." 

"Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting". 

"No, honey, not with that blonde from the accounts office. It was with the boss". 

"No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life". 

"Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart" 

Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly. When the young woman sitting next to him had enough, she leaned over and said into the phone, 

"Eric, hang up the phone and come back to bed." 

Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer

The Guard (both Army and Air Force) do 40% of the missions for the active duty on 7% of the budget since 9/11.  With all we have done to support the active duty we still get treated like the red headed step child.  I'm sorry...is the active duty afraid we are going to take food off their plate and they still want to give us the scraps?

I don't blame the active duty I work with on a day to day basis...I blame those that are sitting in chairs in D.C. who haven't actually seen what the Guard can do for themselves.  Those that make the money choices.  Maybe if they actually left their cushy offices and saw how the Guard has changed as a whole in the last 10 years they might consider it differently.  But I wouldn't expect that from a politician.

National Guard Faces High-Level Opposition in Push for Seat on Joint Chiefs

By Justin Fishel

Published November 10, 2011 | FoxNews.com

A proposal to give the National Guard an equal voice on the Joint Chiefs of Staff hit a brick wall of opposition from a steady stream of top military commanders during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Thursday. 

"In the end, I am not sure what is broken and what we are fixing," said Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Adm. James Winnefeld. 

"I am bound to voice my explicit opposition to this post as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff," said Gen. Ray Odierno, who heads the Army. 

But perhaps the knockout blow for the National Guard came when both Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Martin Dempsey, told reporters at a Pentagon press conference that they were both against the idea. 

"I stand with this guy," Panetta said with a laugh, pointing to Dempsey who had expressed his opposition earlier in the day during that same Senate hearing. 

Panetta suggested the Guard just doesn't have the budget or the same command authority to justify the change.

"National Guard is important. The Reserves are important. It's important to hear their views. But in terms of being a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that's something that I think ought to be reserved for those that have ... direct command and direct budgets that -- that deal with our military," Panetta said. 

However, President Obama supported the idea during his 2008 campaign, promising the Guard a seat at the table. 

Panetta responded to that during the briefing: " I haven't really talked with the president about this -- this particular issue, but I think -- if I know this president, I think he would seriously take into consideration the recommendations of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs." 

Opponents say giving the National Guard a seat on the Joint Chiefs would be redundant since the top general in the guard already attends Joint Staff meetings. 

But others say the Guard deserves a bigger voice partly because it has played a huge role in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, suffering about 10 percent of the combat fatalities. 

"I think we should consider the time has come, given post-9/11 duties of the National Guard, to have a seat at the table. It doesn't change command authority, doesn't turn the world upside down," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., at the Senate hearing. 

The man who would be the new chief, Gen. Craig McKinley, says he wants to be a spokesman for the non-federal functions of the Guard who work for the governors of their home states when not deployed overseas. 

"Our nation's military planning and resourcing would be vastly improved in my opinion," he said of the proposed arrangement. He added it would be "more comprehensive, more effective, and more efficient." 

Members of the National Guard Bureau have said the change would prevent the Guard from reverting to its pre 9-11 days when it was undertrained and poorly equipped. 

The Senate is likely to take up the issue before Thanksgiving.

The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass.

"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"

The Solider squared his shoulders and said
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just to steep,

And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."

There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.

"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

An old Social Security card with the"NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION"message.
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!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
evolve.
But it's worth a try.
