Political Satire-"W"-the president millions of Americans hate with a vengeance.



From Maine to California, from Florida to Washington, and from North Dakota to Texas, all across the country, there are at least 20, if not 40, million Americans who have hatred for the 43rd President of the United States, a man dubbed "W". From print publications as well known as the New York Times to the Internet site of the Huffington Post, the purveyors of the hate "W" campaign have let their invective out for the world to see. They spew venom for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and their extreme malice and bitterness is way beyond a political difference of opinion. If you are not on board for their particular political agenda then you are wrong in your opinion and are to be hated and ridiculed for your ignorance, stupidity and arrogance. There is their opinion, the right opinion, and no other opinion should be considered. This is because they have studied an issue thoroughly, have determined how the issue should be viewed, have come to a logical conclusion about the truth, and have developed a plan of rational action that should be taken in regard to the issue being examined. It is really all very simple once you have all the facts; that is because liberal, educated, literate, intelligent, secular progressive people are always right. But how do we know that? I am glad you asked. Everyone knows that, and especially liberal, educated, literate, intelligent, secular progressive people. Please, do not be so naïve as to not know that. Exactly what part of liberal, educated, literate, intelligent, secular progressive do you not understand? Hence, "W" was responsible for just about everything bad that happened in America during the last 8 years. You can cite the big things, like his unilateral decision to invade Iraq. His pretext of using "weapons of mass destruction" to invade Iraq when everyone knew there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. There is his incredible arrogance in declaring "Mission Accomplished" when he didn't know his butt from a hole in the ground, and, of course, his inhumane disregard for the innocent women and children he was ultimately responsible for killing in Iraq by starting an illegal, unwarranted war on another country. There are also the lesser sins of "W". A flooding in any state naturally came as a result of "W" ignoring the warnings of global warming; a lot of flooding in the Midwest, for example, came from ice caps melting in the Arctic Circle. A botched abortion on a 12-year-old girl in a back alley is clearly the result of "W" trying to restrict the use and distribution and contraceptives to young girls who have made an innocent mistake in judgment. Any understanding, compassionate person would understand this. What exactly was "W's" problem? In the face of all of this, "W" just sat there, consumed by his own stupid self, ignoring the great advice and counsel he was receiving, and continued to do what he thought was right for America, just like he didn't know any better. It makes you wonder just how stupid some people are, not to mention a President. It is an amazing and equally irrelevant fact that there were no more terrorist attacks or successful terrorist attacks in the United States after 9-11 during the 7 years "W" was continuing to serve as President of the United States. Some people are stone, cold lucky; it is amazing how coincidence favors lucky people. The citizens who voted for Bush to serve a second term as President of the United States got exactly what they deserved. They re-elected a stupid, incompetent President who did not have the good sense to shut down the war and pull out of Iraq, thus allowing the United States to save face with its allies. He also refused to negotiate a peace treaty with the terrorist organizers who planned the attack that killed 3,000 of our citizens. He neglected to apologize to the leaders of every country around the world who did not support him in his madness. This is exactly what you get when you elect some stupid, incompetent President who is really a bigger terrorist than the focus groups he is attacking, the so-called terrorists. Do I need to remind you who really planned the 9-11 attack so a war could be started in Iraq to take over and control its oil deposits? I mean, really, doesn't the Constitution of the United States clearly state that there is freedom of religion? That you must allow people to worship as they wish, and be compassionate and understanding even if their beliefs require them to kill people who do not agree with their religious beliefs, or their political point of view? "W" is now history. He will fade into the woodwork soon and be forgotten by the liberal, secular progressives as quickly as throwing out yesterday's garbage after dinner. And yet, I wonder. Whenever I hear a man or woman express hatred, I wonder just what it is in a person that causes him or her to hate so much. It seems to me that you cannot express hatred for anything or anybody unless you make use of the supply of hatred within yourself. The only hatred you can really express is your own personal possession. Just how much hatred can you express without it affecting you? Is there anything good that has ever come from hatred? In the end, you can only give what you have. If you are filled up with love, you can give love. If you are filled up with hate, you can give hatred. You can admonish a person's thought process, decision-making ability and errant behavior without hating the person. Hating someone is like giving yourself poison in a fit of retribution.

Beware of Catchy debt consolidators--Reprint



Debt consolidators usually attract positive attention at the start because they give the impression that they will neatly arrange all your debts into an organized and even lighter one. Their campaigns make debt relief seem to be so straightforward. They will just consolidate all your bills and convert the interest rates to as low as 0%. Unfortunately, people who have fallen prey to them have experiences worse than the opposite of these empty promises. Normal tendency when experiencing financial crisis is to get loans to cover up for previous credits. This being a well-known phenomenon, debt consolidators do their best to entice people into these types of situations with debt consolidation loans which promise easy and immediate processing and approval as well as lower monthly payments and interest rates. Being close to desperation, people tend to become easily lured by such and grab them without a second thought. If these people only compute how much they actually pay in totality, they will surely be surprised that it is a lot higher. Sure, the monthly payments are lower but this is mainly because they are spread over a longer period of time. What are usually unnoticed are the interest rates which are, in fact, higher. In most instances, rates go as high as 21% or 22% and these subtly and discreetly wring people in their necks while burying them deeper into a financial rut. Debt consolidators also assure customers that they will be in charge of everything. They will apparently coordinate with your creditors. All that is left to do is make one easy payment every month. However, what happens in reality is that they actually charge for such service by taking hold of about 10% of payment given monthly. This is about $50 for every $500 monthly payment. Instead of such amount being used to significantly reduce debt, it automatically goes to the deceiving hands of debt consolidators. Most of their services are obviously those which you can do on your own given the right information. You yourself can negotiate with your creditors to make payments more manageable in the light of a current financial difficulty. You need not shell out such a big amount for that. Most creditors are willing to bend a little if only they will be aware of the circumstances. What makes doing the negotiations and payments on your own a lot better is that certain cases have already been reported where the debt consolidators themselves are making late payments. They regularly ask the payment from their customers but they remit them late thus causing the customers more charges which they are not made aware of. Such will only be added up to the monthly payments unnoticed. Balance transfer cards are also prevalent nowadays which are usual debt consolidation tools. Just the same, they promise lower interest rates. However, you have to take note that such low rates aren't going to be the case forever. After a few months, they will increase. Of course, when that happens, you will look for another provider. The network of credit companies sees this kind of activity and considers you as a risk thinking that something else is behind your switching. Thus, your switching may not be approved and you are left without a choice but hold on to the card and suffer with its high rates. It is obviously wiser to think of other options instead of resorting to the services of debt consolidators. Home equity loans, for example, are better options because of their single-digit interest rates which are even tax-deductible. In such cases also, since you do have a home equity, your property may be up for a higher amount refinancing. In turn, you can use the excess money to settle your debts. You may also try personal loans especially if you used to have a good credit history. The interest rate may still be high, around 11%, but this remains to be a better alternative as compared to the 20%++ rate of debt consolidators.There are several other options that you can try out. If you want to know more about them, you can seek advice and gather information from certain organizations providing credit counselling. Once you have the information that you need, you deal with the situation yourself. Most debt consolidators have already been proven to be unhelpful thus should not take part in your alternatives anymore. You need not worry about being exposed to harassment as there are laws such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act to protect you.NEW! Are you stressed or worried about your debt? If so, click here to discover the secret to getting out of debt FAST and staying out of debt FOREVER.

Obama wants to cut Veterans Medical!! ---Repost

Obama Cuts Vets Health CareMultiple as linked ^ 3/09/2009 Freeper
Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 10:54:41 PM by Candor7
Leftist Obama’s threat to military retirees, VA disabled, AND active duty. Got to pay for his welfare daddy programs somehow. Why not start by screwing with the military.
After reading this, if you have any doubts go to the link Budget, Options, Volume 1: Health Care
(http://www.cbo.gov/doc.cfm?index=9925
Either search for TFL, “Tricare for Life” or go to page 175 and read the next 8 pages.
Gotta find some way to provide free health care for all the “victims” of the great society of change.
Ken
Here is something that all veterans and active duty military should know about. Pass it along to vet friends. Outrageous! It is beginning!
About Obama’s Heath Care proposal on Active Duty Military Families and Veterans!
Everyone,
My office just got word today that our new President Obama has proposed a plan to cut military health care benefits! This is great news for the 99.9% Veterans and Active Duty members who are currently using health care benefits. The Congressional Budget Office has made public a proposal stating that Veterans (you know the men and women who have fought in wars and spent 20 plus years in the service) are now going to be paying up to 50% of their medical bill. That¢s a big jump from paying nothing for the past 30 some odd years.
The biggest kicker is Active Duty Military (yep, I said Active Duty) will now! be paying 10% of their total bill. They will now be billed for their kids visiting the doctor. Again, a big jump from being free! Another benefit subject to change is VA medical benefits. Everyone who is receiving a benefit from the VA for a service-related injury will have to be re-assessed and the proposal states this will affect “90% of vets receiving VA benefits and will save the government $53 Billion dollars over 10 years”. Needless to say, today is the first time I have heard from the few Obama supporters in my office say “if this gets passed they will not continue to be a supporter”. Isn’t this the candidate that just a few months ago was preaching to get health care coverage to ALL ? Isn’t it ironic, moronic and outrageous to steal $53 Billion from vets and active duty military families so the Crack Head down the street will receive free medical coverage?
GREAT NEWS!!
If you’re as upset as I am then write your elected officials so hopefully some of the dummies running this country see the light and would never even dream of taking away a penny from a military member! Here are some links to article.
http://soldiersmind.com/2009/01/07/proposed-tricare-cuts-could-cause-problems-for-military-families-and-retirees/
http://www.veteranstoday.com/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=4305
Feel free to Google if you’re in dis-belief.
Below is a message from an Army General who also points out some links and ways how to contact your elected representative. Subject: FW: TriCare for Life’s Future
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 09:14:10 -0800
To All,
This is for real. The heavy assault has begun on Veterans’/Retirees’ benefits to pay for other programs. The word on the street is that these indeed are a high priority of the Obama administration. The one most of interest to Retired Military is in Article 189. If approved by Congress the first assault wave would hit the beaches in 2011 and would hit hard. It would initiate cost sharing to require retirees to pay the first $525 of medical cost and 50% of the next $4,725 for a first year cost of $2,888 per person. It would be indexed to increase with inflation. A reason given for this action (for PR effect) is “overuse” by Retirees.
Clyde
For those of you who are covered by TFL you will want to pay attention to what BG Bob Clements has surfaced about the future of TFL. If you know of anyone who is retired Military, please forward this on to them. I don’t know how many of you partake of the TriCare for Life program but here is a very interesting note on the subject. Seems as though our President Elect has placed a priority on cutting it out of the budget as a means to provide funding for those things he promised during the campaign. In any case, on page 189 of the Congressional Budget Office report! , see the note below on how to get to that spot, there is a strong recommendation to eventually eliminate the program as it is too expensive. I would ask that you contact your elected officials and register your strong opposition to the elimination of this program. Just another move to slight those of us who dedicated much of our adult lives to the defense of our country. Thanks for listening.
Heads-up from BG Bob Clements, USAF Ret (P38 Bob) The following has been added to the Congressional Budget Office Web Site http://www.cbo.gov/
a. Budget, Options, Volume 1: Health Care
(http://www.cbo.gov/doc.cfm?index=9925
For those who have never opened one of these web sites from OMB :
1. double click on the above URL
2. click on PDF
3. click on the binoculars
4. do a search for TFL
“Now here it is folks and I will guarantee if you sit around on your behind and do nothing about it as they bring these options forward this coming year, you will lose one of the best healthcare benefits that the Medicare eligible retired military have. It is short of the promises made that we fought so hard for back in the late 90s and early 2000s but it is still the best healthcare program that anyone in the United States has, bar none. People who are professionals always look for the channel of least resistance when it comes to cutting money out of the Federal and DOD budget. I can tell you this straight on, military retirees are one of those channels of least resistance noted for sitting around, doing nothing, and waiting for ole Joe to do it for them. You had better wake up. Your medical benefits are prime target. If you lose the! m, you have nobody to blame but yourself. Let me repeat that ... you have nobody to blame but yourself. The way to secure your benefits is to write to your members of Congress and to keep writing and writing and writing. ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH!! Keep repeating the above statement until you are blue in the face. Now I’m going to make one more statement to all of you younger people out there who are not yet eligible for TriCare for Life. HEALTH CARE WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME THE DOMINATING FACTOR IN YOUR LIFE. Remember that . . . . it will impact you big time with the utmost in cruelty unless you are fortunate enough to die from a heart attack . . . or get run over by a truck. Now, I am going to attach AGAIN exactly what OMB has in store for military retirees using TFL. This source is directly from OMB and is not something that I have dreamed up. They are telling you exactly what they are going to do with your benefits. If you do nothing, this is what you will get. The service organizations will put up a fight and are aware of this and will put up a fight but, they will need your help and can’t do it by themselves. I hope this makes it clear as to what you can expect if you do nothing. To show you how stupid these professionals can be at times if you will read the attached document closely you will see that in spite of the MTFs (Military Treatment Facility) need to get patients back to keep their doctors busy and the hospitals from going to clinic status, these people from OMB would employ a means to keep retirees from using MTF facilities by charging them a fee for services. How dumb can you get. Even if you are an Obama lover, and believe that changeth cometh, TFL option from OMB will not go away. They need the money they spend on you for other programs for people who produce nothing but votes to keep their boss in office. & nbs! p;chk 6 .. bob”
A footnote: BG Bob Clement is known with affection as”P38bob”. He flew P38s in WWII. He was one of the stalwart warriors that led effectively from the front when the hard battles were being fought to bring TriCare for Life to reality. I was honored and pleased to a player in that effort by following P38 Bob’s lead. (in those days I was known as MilVet99) MilVets: it looks like we will again be confronted by the ‘attack of the bean counters’ who, by and large, wouldn’t know (and probably never will know) genuine unselfish service to our country and are solely motivated by crunching! numbers so that those numbers will reflect favorably on their bosses and their boss’s causes. They have no thought to the havoc they would cause . . . in many cases the loss of any amount of TFL benefits would be a an insurmountable hardship ..... and to some it would truly be a death sentence. It is well that we gear up for the fight now. As P38 Bob says, we must write, write, write and write. Once is not enough! In time I will be preparing letters for your use in writing to your elected officials and submitting them to the TREA Membership, and to others who may want to join the fight. Them Bean counters haven’t seen anything until they’ve see a united and angered group of MilVets. Lets do it and git ‘er done!!!!! Your comments and inquiries are welcome.

One of the main problems with online dating is the extensive selection that is available. With so many singles we find ourselves getting caught up and involved with so many of them. We would save a lot of time and emotions by being more selective. That way we are available for the Singles that fit our “must have” list. Online dating is not like your local bar and grille where you may have a selection of 7-10 eligible singles on a good night! Online your choices are endless! If you don’t find who you want on one site? You just move onto the next singles site. Start with your list of “must haves” and begin shopping! Take your time...the Singles aren’t going anywhere! Another problem with online dating, you can never be sure the photo of the person is really the person you are corresponding with! But I think that is a small risk for the quantity of singles you will have access to. But look at it from the other direction. The Singles you meet in public could be giving you the wrong name, the wrong age; their current relationship status could be a lie. So, if someone is going to lie, they are a liar. Whether online or off...a liar is a liar! That is the reason I ask so many questions. If that offends some of the Singles? Too Bad! I have a right to know what I am dealing with from the very beginning. If the Single you are giving the “Third degree” to has been online dating for any length of time, they will understand your skepticism. If not...oh well...Next!!?

Symptoms of depression

Depression is a complex disease that can remain hidden unless someone who knows the signs looks. Many people don't even know they're suffering from depression, and 15 million of those people are in America. 2/3 of those never seek help. Why is depression hard to spot? The answer is easy. Occasional issues like sadness are common and have nothing to do with depression . This makes it hard to tell the difference between a normal mood and depression. Sadness is part of living. The mid life crisis at about 40 is common. There are many who see this as some milestone of reflection that causes us to ponder and evaluate our lives. This may be depressing. That's not depression. Depression isn't a short term feeling. Depression is consistent and constant and will progress if not treated. It may require years to get a handle on this illness. Typical symptoms of depression can be irregular sleeping or eating habits. This isn't to say a sleepless night or a day of over eating are symptoms, rather it would be an ongoing pattern. People suffering from depression become loners. Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness aren't unusual. They feel upset the more lonely they become. They may want to reach out for help but cannot bring themselves to do so. They may find it hard to relate to those around them. Where they once may have been the life of the party they may now be barely noticeable. These are symptoms of the early stages.Depression in later stages creates a seeming incompatibility between the victim and other people. School and work are impacted because they stop taking part in discussions and activities. Dealing with others, even dealing with themselves becomes nearly impossible. Life loses purpose and any light at the end of the tunnel so they begin to think about death. Early detection is a key to avoiding this terrible end. There is help available for those who suffer depression. The proper care and treatment can return the victims from suffering to normalcy. Ongoing symptoms of depression should prompt you to look for help. It's a matter of life or death.
