I apologize for having offended your sensibilities. It was meant to be humorous, not meant to offend anyone but it seems it is not to everyone’s taste.
Once again, please accept my sincerest apologies.
You are right, but they help create the culture of workers demanding more, rather than workers being grateful for the job.
Plus I am just whiny about it lately because I can see the destructiveness they are launching with lawmakers.
So forget the unions. And I'll even throw out the manufacturing point I was trying to make.
But I stand by my claim that our superpower status is in jeopardy until we get some outstanding leadership -- and not just in the white house. This country needs to grow some balls and fight for what we once had: freedom, democracy, economic stability, charity, goodness, and peace through strength.
Have a great Sunday, FRiend, and Merry Christmas!
I’ll be back. Gotta turn off computer due to surges, big winter storm with snow and wind starting up.

POP, a Poem by Barack Obama
Pop takes another shot, neat,
Points out the same amber
Stain on his shorts that Ive got on mine, and
Makes me smell his smell, coming
From me
Most of the people using the “gay escape clause” were in fact not homosexual.
Creating a homosexual Brown Shirt force but with more weaponry.
On a combat level this gets the officer fragged. It is one of the INTENTS of this agenda, to reduce the fighting effectiveness of warrior units. Since the “point of the spear” can only be effective with tried and true methods, this breaks down command structure immediately. A social experiment with our military that will fail.
We should all worry about what that failure will mean for our sons and daughters who are not of this persuasion, and indeed for the security of our nation. The other nations cited as doing this, are all LESSER military powers. One notes that the Russian military does not tolerate this at all, male or female.
It is absurd. Maybe, hopefully, some day Americans can be referred to as Americans, without the extra adjectives.
I got a number of questions that may arise:
1. Will any unmarried gay serviceperson be able to demand military benefits [ie: healthcare] for their partner?
2. If so, could unmarried heterosexual servicepersons then claim the same for their partner?
3. If a gay serviceperson got married - say in Massachusetts, will the military have to honor it as a marriage?
4. If a unmarried gay serviceperson gets a PCS {Permanant Change of Station] - will the partner get moving allowance to follow?
5. Same question as #4, but for married gay serviceperson.
6. Same question as #4, but for unmarried heterosexual serviceperson.
7. If an unmarried gay service person is together with the partner for ten years [then they split], could the partner claim 1/2 of the servicepersons pension when they retire after 20 [current law allows ex-spouses to claim this]?
8. Same question as #7, but for married gay serviceperson.
9. Same question as #7, but for unmarried heterosexual serviceperson.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Homosexuals have been doing that on their own, without Obama, forever. Disney's animation studio was a closed gay shop as long ago as the 1950's -- do you think any talented heterosexual animators might have been denied a career, possibly? Theater's been closed to all but "gay-friendly" heterosexuals since ..... well, for a hell of a long time. The 60's, maybe. Maybe longer. How many heterosexual music men, how many Jimmy Cagneys, got shut out by the likes of Tommy Tune and Bob Fosse?
Gays are a faction. They'll behave selfishly and viciously toward others everywhere they can get away with it, because that's what factions do.

If that were true, German car production should have ceased in the 1960's.
Labor's problem is slave labor and captive labor (no way out) undercutting wages. As long as the Chinese use prison slave-labor and people like Carlos Slim in Mexico can use political clout to hold down Mexican wages -- the old Spanish Empire wealth-building formula, with all the social problems described by Juan and Ulloa in the 18th century in their report to the King -- then labor-market poachers like Mexico and China will always be a problem for anyone who wants to live better than a Mexican campesino in his dirt-floor cinderblock casa.
(By the way, I wasn't kidding about the dirt floor. Business Week did a cover article on Mexican manufacturing and offshoring by e.g. Ford in 1994 or 1995. They found a Mexican welder living in a shack like that with his pregnant wife, two kids, and mother-in-law, and the guy was welding for Ford for $75/week. His "benefits" were taco lunch and car fare to work.)
We had a warrant Officer overseas who showed the signs of an alternative lifestyle who started giving another soldier in our section all kinds of “good duties” and good duty locations to boot because we were pretty sure he had the hots for him. We all had our suspicions but that is as far as it went. Those of us who wouldn’t “work late” with him on his special projects were deemed non-team players and given less coveted duties.
This will be a huge problem within the ranks and not just that but the flagrant abuse of the EO complaint system when an “alternative” soldier doesn’t get his/her way will abound as it does now with just a male and female scenario.
NOT Photoshopped !!!!
All I can say is you bring up a lot of really good points that I’m sure few in Congress closely considered in all of this.
Well played.
There is just so much material here for any comedian who had just a bits of balls.
Lol, never gets old. I was just reading old threads about him on theregulator.net. Wonder where he is now?
Yes, military courts will be overwhelmed. Those with thin skins will intimidate and win.
The price of running the military will go waaaaay up - quality : down.
BUT on the lighter brighter side, liberals everywhere get to feel superior and smug... and doesn't that make it all worth while?
