True Americans

LDB · Feb 21, 2006

It is time to change from REDNECK humor to TRUE AMERICAN Humor! Only
I don't see it as Humor, but the correct way to LIVE YOUR LIFE ! If you feel the same, pass this on to your True American friends. Ya'll know who ya' are...

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: It never occurred to you to be
offended by the phrase, "One nation, under God."

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You still say "Christmas" instead of "Winter Festival."

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You stand and place your hand over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect, and always have.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You've never burned an American flag.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You know what you believe and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You respect your elders and expect your kids to do the same.

You might be a TRUE AMERICAN if: You'd give your last dollar to a friend.

Bravo Leo,To me these are all true! Thanks

tallcal101 · Feb 25, 2006

Leo,numbers 6 and 8 are probably the only 2 I can give my 100% agreement on,but I pay my tax's on time and tell it the way I see it.
If I ever meet you,I hope you will not greet me as a twenty percenter.

Being a True American would also entail not having a screaming fit if one disagrees with you... Who is it on this site that has in his sig file... Support the entire Constitution, not just the parts you agree with... or something like that

LDB · Feb 26, 2006

That would be me. As much as it pains me to do so sometimes I remind myself that the very Constitution the left is denigrating and attempting to distort and dismantle protects their right to be wrong and express their errors.

But, thank God it's there so that I can tell whomever may be ruining it that they SUCK and that there's nothing they can do when I say so!!!

tallcal101 · Feb 27, 2006

Right and wrong are subjective,and reflect a closed and "communist"attitude.Sorry Leo,your wrong is my RIGHT,under our system.Perhaps your "right" thinking allows the Arabs to run our ports,my "left"thinks it stinks to high heavan.
Just more left wing distortion I guess.Wake and smell the rose's,we are going down the wrong road and better realize it for all our sakes,yours included!!

Critter Truckin · Feb 27, 2006

According to that sumation (did I spell that right?), no one is wrong. In which case, the people that burn flags aren't wrong, the people that say human religious sacrifice is a good practice aren't wrong, the people that say late term abortions aren't wrong, etc. Think of every "wrong" concept and/or notion, and you will find something right about said concept.

Consider this, the Constitution and the government it prescribes only tell us what they can and cannot as a government. Unlike Great Britain, where there is no written "constitution," where the government dissolves itself at the hint of something being amiss.

No, the government here has no say in what we do or think as a people. But, the very thing that we are squabbling over--ports, communism, etc.--then become neither right, nor wrong. Just opinions. And opinions are like A--holes, we all them, and they all stink!!!

Dear Tallcal 101,

Are you saying that all Arabs and Arab Nations can not be trusted?

Packmule · Feb 27, 2006

Wow...Do I hear the opening of a big can of worms with that last post?!!?!!

tallcal101 · Feb 27, 2006

There is a process for approving any an all port transfers.Our congress (yes,even though the current admin hates it)needs to be informed.No fewer then 13 government agencies(most under homeland security)were part of this review,but it seems none bothered to inform the congress.W knew about it,and choose to keep his ignorant mouth shut.He wants a rubber stamp,which is what scares me.Considerimng the long friendly relationship between the Bush and Bin Laden families(come on out for a Texas style bar b que)and his failures in business in the past,I don't trust his unchecked decsion on any port deals with Arab nations.

Critter Truckin · Feb 27, 2006

Consider the can opened!!!

Here's the deal, if that's what it takes (Bush, Bin Laden, whatever) you have to look back at the 70s-80s invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviets. We helped them in anyway possible just like the Soviets helped the Viet Cong. So, if that's the way we're taking this, then we have JIMMY CARTER to blame for all this crap!!! Yup, good ole Jimmy started all of it, so I don't wanna hear another word about the Republicans this and Bush that. I'm an independent and friggin proud of it. so I hold no affiliation with either party. But when we catch ourselves talking turkey with the chickens, then we all have a major problem!!!

And I don't want to start getting into all the innocent aspirin makers that Clinton killed thanks to Monica Lewinsky!!!

ACE · Feb 27, 2006

Dear Tallcal101,

Under current law Congress does not make these decisions. The Treasury Dept. governs the review board that you spoke of in your post.
I believe that the agencies would not approve this deal if they thought it would danger Americans, remember they have families and they live here. Remember this deal was reported in the financial news before the committee even approved it. I hope someone from the Congress or their staff follows financial news.
President Lincoln had many failed business ventures. Would you say that he was not a good President ?
As for the reference about Bin Laden his family is Saudi. The company in question is from the United Arab Emirates.
Which brings me back to the question I asked earlier. Do you believe all Arabs and Arab Nations can not be trusted?

tallcal101 · Feb 27, 2006

It's just so damned interseting to me how so many"independants"are ready to go back in history to attack previous Demo administration,but don't touch trickster dickster,or rony raygun and his arms (and DRUGS)for money deal.His alzhiemer started about the same time he was called to testify before congress.
I'm not talking about Bush and Bin Laden as it has to do with the Afgahn war,I'm talking about the PERSONAL relationship between these families.Check out Michael Moore's movie(I know,more left wing propaganda)except no one questioned the facts.
It's well documented.
I'm also surprised that all the "independants"on this forum who called for Clintons head(and approved of the 250 million witch hunt)found nothing more then the same thing many Presidents in the past (Eisenhower included,read his Bio)were up to,are now so willing to put up with half truths and lingering questions about back room deals(are we really safer with "homeland security').All studies say no.But let's keep those Mexican farm workers out!!!
All those negotiating this Port deal are appointed positions,which is why we CANNOT trust these lying bas****s without oversight.
In the long run, what the Boys Who Can't Shoot Straight are doing to themselves (now, even his own party is turning,just listen to Lindsey Graham)no left wing propaganda can do.It's like a dream come true.As I mentioned before,moveon.org laid the whole mess out 5 years ago,with the results being just as predicted.
I don't stand behind a BS position that I'm independant,I'm proud to be what I am,and will work my ##### off to put Hillary in office.

tallcal101 · Feb 27, 2006

By the way,in case you have not noticed,these guys could care less about us(record tax breaks for the wealthiest 1% of Americans)as well as well documented relationships(no bid contracts for Halliburton,etc).Money is at the root of this Ports deal.
Please don't feed me this line about"their famulies would be in danger as well".
These are the same guys who flew the Saudis out of the country on Government jets while we were trying to figure out where the terrorist pilots came from.They came from Saudi Arabia!!
Much of the money for the plot was funneled through the UAE!!
I think that is called aiding and abetting the enemy?
If you need a Nanny,I have Micheal Jackson phone number

ACE · Feb 27, 2006

Dear Tallcal101,

Money is the main factor in almost every economical deal. The port deal is one Arab owned firm buying another British owned firm.

The tax cuts are voted on by Congress {pre 2004 election} almost the same Congress {post 2004 election} that you seem so intent on reviewing this deal.

Please tell me where in the constitution does it say that rich people are to pay the majority of taxes and are not allowed to receive tax breaks.

Did you not mind our ports being managed by a British Firm, or is it that you do not want them managed by Arabs.

tallcal101 · Feb 27, 2006

If it's such a great deal,why are ALL the rankng Republicans so upset.
Please read Yahoo update on Coast Guard concerns about a "recent memo that did not come to light"while the fox's were watching the chickens.
it just go's on and on and on.......
Going to need hip boots soon just to read the news!!

highway star · Feb 27, 2006

Great post Leo! Way to start a fight!;-)

Hilary? President? Canada's looking pretty good, eh?

Packmule · Feb 27, 2006

Did I hear can #2 open ??

Politics in this country has become so uninteresting lately. Anyone who has seen my postings would know I lean right. However, these aren't your Newt Gingrich republicans. Ten years ago you could tell the difference. Now, the right can't say squat about the tax-and-spend libs. They're all money hungry... cut and dry. This port fiasco is another example of that. Our HOS is another example of that. The Mexican border is another example of that. The Indiana toll road is a MAJOR example of that. Research has no leg to stand on when it comes to money! The side that makes the bux wins. IMO, they sold their soul, and got the money today that will kill us generations to come. But hey... they're keeping their own political heads above water.

Opinions aren't going to kill this country, lack of them will. Will gay marriages totally destroy the fabric of the USofA? Doubt it. But throwing ppl in jail for the greater good over "ethnic intimidation", or saying the holocaust was manufactured, is a good example of what they're doing to our constitution. Opinions, no matter how unpopular, should not be stifled by our government. However, our country goes the way of other countries... so says the NWO. Can't hurt anyone's feelings, can't deny those who have money, can't make life simple for the working man.

There has never been a finer line between the R and D following a person's name in DC. Neither are for smaller, less intrusive government. Both have the working man on the back burner, as they're only good for votes and taxes. Both are in kahoots with a bigger power, and it ain't GOD. So, when you go vote, know that the R or D you click the lever for is planning on striking up a chorus of "We are the World", and stepping on the already trodden Constitution. I hope I live to see the revolution coming. But, because we're continually being dumbed down in government run schools, I doubt it'll happen.
