MY THOUGHTS ON GAYS IN THE MILITARY

First of all, I want to say that sexual orientation does not matter to me. People can be whoever they are with whomever they choose. My sexuality is MY business and yours is YOURS. Don't flaunt it in my face, no matter how you swing.... keep it in the bedroom and we will get along just fine.

EVERYONE in the military should follow don't ask - don't tell. It's NOT relevant to job performance, and what a soldier does in private is hisher business and no one elses.

Having said that, I see letting gays serve openly NOT as a morale problem, NOT a command problem but a legal problem...... and I use 'legal' in the sense that.... the chain of command will have to walk on eggshells to avoid discrimination suits, which WILL be detrimental to everything military. The first time an openly gay man slips into his little black dress and fishnet stockings and hoop earrings and heads to the base NCO/OC and gets the living shit beat out of him along the way..... let the lawyers gather like vultures, because there WILL be lawsuit after lawsuit... EERs/OERs that aren't perfect will said to be such because the military member is gay. And that's only two examples. It's a Pandora's Box that needs to remain closed.

Male or female - keep your junk to yourself.... I welcome any patriot who wants to serve this country and I will be the first to thank him/her for that service.... but sex belongs in the bedroom, NOT on the PT field or on the firing line. Just saying...

MORE ON NPD... or less?

NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED AS A PSYCHIATRIC DISORDER - just wondering if this was done by a presidential executive order?

IT'S GOOD TO BE CHARLIE!


Wesley Snipes Goes to Jail


He has finally given up on appealing his tax evasion conviction, and earlier today (December 9) Wesley Snipes went to jail.

The “Blade” actor turned himself in to McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Lewis Run, Pennsylvania where he’ll spend the next three years.

Back in 2008, Snipes was found guilty of three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file income taxes, and after a period of time in McKean, he’ll transfer to a minimum security facility.



Charlie Wrangle goes back to work


Ever notice that those who endorse high taxes and those who actually pay them aren’t the same people? Consider the curious case of Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel, who is leading the charge for a new 5.4-percentage point income tax surcharge and recently called it “the moral thing to do.” About his own tax liability he seems less, well, fervent.

Exhibit A concerns a rental property Mr. Rangel purchased in 1987 at the Punta Cana Yacht Club in the Dominican Republic. The rental income from that property ought to be substantial since it is a luxury beach-front villa and is more often than not rented out. But when the National Legal and Policy Center looked at Mr. Rangel’s House financial disclosure forms in August, it noted that his reported income looked suspiciously low. In 2004 and 2005, he reported no more than $5,000, and in 2006 and 2007 no income at all from the property.

The Congressman initially denied there was any unreported income. But reporters quickly showed that the villa is among the most desirable at Punta Cana and that it rents for $500 a night in the low season, and as much as $1,100 a night in peak season. Last year it was fully booked between December 15 and April 15.

Mr. Rangel soon admitted having failed to report rental income of $75,000 over the years. First he blamed his wife for the oversight because he said she was supposed to be managing the property. Then he blamed the language barrier. “Every time I thought I was getting somewhere, they’d start speaking Spanish,” Mr. Rangel explained.

Despite getting the support of the Queens congressional delegation, the U.S. House voted 333 to 79 last Thursday to censure U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Astoria) for improperly soliciting donations, improperly using a rent-stabilized apartment and tax evasion.

METHINKS I SHALL RUN FOR CONGRESS!

INTERESTING NUMBERS HERE.... NO WONDER GETTING RE-ELECTED IS THE #1 PRIORITY!


President’s Salary:

Effective January 1, 2001, the annual salary of the president of the United States was increased to $400,000 per year, including a $50,000 expense allowance. [ummmm do you think maybe Obama has exceeded his expense allowance?]


Presidential Pension:

Former presidents are offered a taxable lifetime pension equal to the annual rate of basic pay for the heads of executive branch departments, like the Cabinet Secretaries. This amount is set annually by Congress and is currently (in 2009) $193,400 per year. The pension starts the minute the president officially leaves office at noon on Inauguration Day. Widows of former presidents are provided with a $20,000 annual lifetime pension and mailing privileges, unless they choose to waive their right to the pension.


See the following link for things like transition expenses, medical, travel, secret service, staff and office allowance after leaving office.

Vice President’s Salary:

The salary of the vice president is currently (for 2009) $227,300



Congress: Leadership Members' Salary (2010)

Leaders of the House and Senate are paid a higher salary than rank-and-file members.



SENATE

Majority Party Leader - $193,400

Minority Party Leader - $193,400



HOUSE Leadership

Speaker of the House - $223,500

Majority Leader - $193,400

Minority Leader - $193,400

A cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) increase takes effect annually unless Congress votes to not accept it. [yeah, right!]



Rank-and-File Members:

The current salary (2010) for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $174,000 per year


Members of Congress receive retirement and health benefits under the same plans available to other federal employees. They become vested after five years of full participation.


Members elected since 1984 are covered by the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS). Those elected prior to 1984 were covered by the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). In 1984 all members were given the option of remaining with CSRS or switching to FERS.


As it is for all other federal employees, congressional retirement is funded through taxes and the participants' contributions. Members of Congress under FERS contribute 1.3 percent of their salary into the FERS retirement plan and pay 6.2 percent of their salary in Social Security taxes.


Members of Congress are not eligible for a pension until they reach the age of 50, but only if they've completed 20 years of service. Members are eligible at any age after completing 25 years of service or after they reach the age of 62. Please also note that Members of Congress have to serve at least 5 years to even receive a pension.

WOULDN'T THAT BE NICE - 5 YEARS AND A FULL PENSION! YUP! THINK I'M GONNA RUN!

FUNNIEST VIDEO I'VE EVER WATCHED

ABOUT TIME!

It looks like George Soros will be the target of investigations on his role as a behind the scenes funder. From the current issue of Business Week magazine's cover story on Tom Donohue, head of the US Chamber of Commerce (titled, " Tom Donohue: Obama's Tormenter") comes this snippet:

Donohue announced that the Chamber had been digging into the funding sources of anti-globalization groups that might try to thwart their efforts overseas. "We found that 50 or 60 percent of their money comes from the same person," Donohue said dramatically. He wasn't ready to name names just yet. Instead, he acted like a man with a hand grenade in his pocket who couldn't wait to hurl it. "It's going to be a story," the chamber leader promised. The people sitting around the table seemed baffled. (Later, when asked if he was referring to George Soros, Donohue laughed and said, "That's a pretty good guess.")

I would surmise that the Chamber will be releasing a report soon with their information about George Soros.

GAYS IN THE MILITARY? SURE THING....

Der Spiegel reports that the (Wikileak) leaked documents presumably came from the same source - Private First Class Bradley Manning who was upset after a bad breakup with his boyfriend.

POOR DUMB GEORGE BUSH

President Bush...
  • Graduated from Yale undergrad and got a Harvard MBA with a GPA higher than Algore (and John Kerry, who never released his grades and NEVER GRADUATED FROM LAW SCHOOL)
  • Wrote HIS OWN book, unlike the current White House resident
  • Reads a book a week
  • Reads the Bible every year
  • Takes responsibility for EVERY decision he's made, both in and out of the White House - he has never once blamed another for failure
  • Speaks Spanish (and English, so hush lol)
  • Never once bowed to a foreign dignitary

NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER (ok - I'm probably getting over the top here but this is fascinating!) anyone recognize any of these characteristics

Proposed Amended Criteria for the Narcissistic Personality Disorder  (IS Obama mentally ill???)

  1. Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates accomplishments, talents, skills, contacts, and personality traits to the point of lying, demands to be recognised as superior without commensurate achievements);
  2. Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequaled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion; 
  3. Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions); 
  4. Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation – or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (Narcissistic Supply);
  5. Feels entitled. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her unreasonable expectations for special and favourable priority treatment; 
  6. Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends;
  7. Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with, acknowledge, or accept the feelings, needs, preferences, priorities, and choices of others;
  8. Constantly envious of others and seeks to hurt or destroy the objects of his or her frustration. Suffers from persecutory (paranoid) delusions as he or she believes that they feel the same about him or her and are likely to act similarly;
  9. Behaves arrogantly and haughtily. Feels superior, omnipotent, omniscient, invincible, immune, "above the law", and omnipresent (magical thinking). Rages when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted by people he or she considers inferior to him or her and unworthy.

'TERMINAL' SEXUAL ASSAULT

Why do we have a 'no fly' list?

Why not have a 'FLY LIST'... if I were a flier, especially a frequent one (I'm neither).... I would not mind at all applying for 'fly list' status by having a thorough background check (for a fee, of course), obtaining a 'FLIER ID' with my eye scan encrypted in it. Then..... I would be able to arrive at the airport, insert my ID card, lean in to a machine that would scan my eye for a match and then shoot out a pass for me and my bags..... and be on my way.

Renewable periodically.... for a reasonable fee, of course. Success of such a plan would be dependent upon how badly passengers want to by-pass the hassle of the 'line up to be felt up' process.

KILL SOCIAL SECURITY WHILE WE CAN!

I’m gonna keep pounding on this…. Social Security is NOT a sacred cow! It was NEVER intended to be a person’s SOLE RETIREMENT INCOME. It was meant to be a SUPPLEMENT. It has to be eliminated! It’s the government’s way of equalizing everyone…. at the bottom of the income level! Consider this – and remember it and pass it along!

  • A person making $40,000 a year pays $3000/year (7.5%) into Social Security
  • A worker who AVERAGES $40,000/year for a 40-year working career, contributing 7.5% into S.S. will collect a maximum of $24,000/year for 15 years
  • The Stock Market has an historic AVERAGE growth of 9%/year
  • If that same employee invested that same 7.5% in the stock market for 40 years, he would accrue $1,880,000 in his ‘retirement’ account…. Or said another way $126,000/year annual retirement income
  • ‘Means testing’ Social Security – a suggestion from Obama’s Debt Reduction Committee, means the government will determine who is ‘too rich’ to draw S.S. EVEN THO YOU MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SYSTEM YOUR ENTIRE WORKING LIFE AND EVEN IF YOU PLANNED ON THAT MONEY AS A RETIREMENT SUPPLEMENT! I sincerely hope the American people will find this unacceptable. If you paid in – you should draw out – PERIOD!
  • If there are those, with great wealth, that choose to opt out of receiving S.S., they should be given a tax credit for all or part of the money they have contributed. This might encourage more of the truly rich to forgo S.S.
  • • And there has to be a mechanism to permit young people entering the work force to fund a MANDATORY PRIVATE RETIREMENT THAT THEY – NOT UNCLE SAM - CONTROL. This would allow the current S.S. system to eventually go ‘out of business’ by attrition.
  • And do NOT say: What if they refuse to fund a retirement plan? WE HAVE THAT NOW! It’s called ‘people riding in the wagon rather than PULLING it!’ And they not only aren’t funding a retirement, they aren’t even WORKING! The difference would be – you don’t save – you don’t EAT. It is obscene that able-bodied Americans are not MADE to work for their handout! If they are receiving government money, they can dig holes and fill ‘em up to ‘earn’ their subsidy.

It is time for the government (i.e. the taxpayers) to stop enabling…. Those that CAN, DO…. Or do without! Those that CAN’T…. that’s why we have private charities, and that worked for years until LBJ destroyed the American family.
