Subject: Fwd: What the H--- is Wrong...
IN GOD WE TRUST !!
Will someone please tell me what the HELL'S wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!!
We're "broke" and can't help our own seniors, veterans, orphans, homeless etc.,?????????
Congress can give themselves raises but NO COLA for all of us on Social Security!
In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , and Turkey . And now Pakistan ......home of bin Laden. Literally,
BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income', receive no aid nor do they get any breaks, while our government and
religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
AMERICA: A country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without
'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc,etc.
YET......................
They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes,
bedding, doctors and medical supplies.
Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.

If you get this more than once, feel honored that you know more than
one person who supports our military and appreciates what they do.
If you don't forward it, you don't deserve their sacrifice.
CINDY WILLIAMS was appointed by Obama as an Assistant Director for
NATIONAL SECURITY in the Congressional Budget Office.....
This is an Airman's response to Cindy Williams' editorial piece in the
Washington Times about MILITARY PAY, it should be printed in all
newspapers across America.
Ms. Cindy William wrote a piece for the Washington Times denouncing
the pay raise(s) coming service members' way this year citing that she
stated a 13% wage increase was more than they deserve.
A young airman from Hill AFB responds to her article below. He ought
to get a bonus for this.
"Ms Williams:
I just had the pleasure of reading your column, "Our GI's earn enough"
and I am a bit confused. Frankly, I'm wondering where this vaunted
overpayment is going, because as far as I can tell, it disappears
every month between DFAS (The Defense Finance and Accounting Service)
and my bank account. Checking my latest earnings statement I see that
I make $1,117.80 before taxes per month. After taxes, I take home
$874.20. When I run that through the calculator, I come up with an
annual salary of $13,413.60 before taxes, and $10,490.40 after.
I work in the Air Force Network Control Center where I am part of the
team responsible for a 5,000 host computer network. I am involved with
infrastructure segments, specifically with Cisco Systems equipment. A
quick check under jobs for "Network Technicians" in the Washington ,
D.C. area reveals a position in my career field, requiring three
years experience in my job. Amazingly, this job does NOT pay
$13,413.60 a year. No, this job is being offered at $70,000 to $80,000
per annum............ I'm sure you can draw the obvious conclusions.
Given the tenor of your column, I would assume that you NEVER had the pleasure of serving your country in her armed forces.
Before you take it upon yourself to once more castigate congressional
and DOD leadership for attempting to get the families in the
military's lowest pay brackets off of WIC and food stamps, I suggest
that you join a group of deploying soldiers headed for AFGHANISTAN ; I
leave the choice of service branch up to you. Whatever choice you make
though, opt for the SIX month rotation: it will guarantee you the
longest possible time away from your family and friends, thus giving
you full "deployment experience."
As your group prepares to board the plane, make sure to note the
spouses and children who are saying good-bye to their loved ones. Also
take care to note that several families are still unsure of how
they'll be able to make ends meet while the primary breadwinner is
gone. Obviously they've been squandering the "vast" piles of cash the
government has been giving them.
Try to deploy over a major holiday; Christmas and Thanksgiving are
perennial favorites. And when you're actually over there, sitting in a
foxhole, shivering against the cold desert night, and the flight
sergeant tells you that there aren't enough people on shift to relieve
you for chow, remember this: trade whatever MRE's (meal-ready- to-eat)
you manage to get for the tuna noodle casserole or cheese tortellini,
and add Tabasco to everything. This gives some flavor.
Talk to your loved ones as often as you are permitted; it won't be
nearly long enough or often enough, but take what you can get and be
thankful for it. You may have picked up on the fact that I disagree
with most of the points you present in your open piece.
But, tomorrow from KABUL, I will defend to the death your right to say
it.
You see, I am an American fighting man, a guarantor of your First
Amendment right and every other right you cherish...On a daily basis,
my brother and sister soldiers worldwide ensure that you and people
like you can thumb your collective noses at us, all on a salary that
is nothing short of pitiful and under conditions that would make most
people cringe. We hemorrhage our best and brightest into the private
sector because we can't offer the stability and pay of civilian
companies.
And you, Ms. Williams, have the gall to say that we make more than we
deserve?

Polk County Florida Sheriff
You kill a policeman it means no arrest...no Miranda rights...no negotiations...nothing but as many bullets as we can shoot into
you...PERIOD
POLK COUNTY FLORIDA SHERIFF, GRADY JUDD
An illegal alien, in Polk County , Florida , who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop, ended up "executing" the deputy who
stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded
and a police dog killed. A state-wide manhunt ensued.
The murderer was found hiding in a wooded area. As soon as he took a shot at the SWAT team, officers opened fire on him.
They hit the guy 68 times.
Naturally, the liberal media went nuts and asked why they had to shoot the poor, undocumented immigrant 68 times.
Sheriff Grady Judd told the Orlando Sentinel: "Because that's all the ammunition we had." Now, is that just about the all-time
greatest answer or what!
The Coroner also reported that the illegal alien died of natural causes. When asked by a reporter how that could be, since there
were 68 bullet wounds in his body, he simply replied: (BEST QUOTE of 2009) . . .. "When you are shot 68 times you are naturally
gonna die."
