O/T Political Rants & Raves - Page 14

For me it wasn't an abortion issue at all, it was a "Pot calling the kettle black"  issue.

  KTF keeps posting that Ghandi quote all over the board, obviously taking a stab at Christians and how they act, while she should be taking the boulder out of her own eye.    Sometimes it's hard to see the forest for the trees.

  As for Ted, I don't know much of the man.  I can not comment on him or his lifestyle.  I know only what I've read on here.  What happened to Mary Jo was tragic but what was she doing with a married man in the first place?  Her tragedy could have been prevented had she made wiser decisions.  We all deal with the consequences of our decisions, whether good or bad. 

   We also tend to elevate a person once they die, not sure why that is, probably because of our own fear of death.  I agree with Bob.  You are what did in this life, whether dead or alive.  I also agree with the statement that if you have something to say to someone say it to their face.  Ted is gone now and isn't seeing what people say about him, although in his last days with brain cancer, I'm sure he had ample time to reflect on his faults, where he's been, and where he's going. 

I got this email on your Gov't workers.  Just a funny.

You don't have to be stupid to be in the US Government, but it does not preclude you either!

A DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of 'why' their country is in trouble!
1.I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

2.I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts .''

Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Capetown is in Africa ''

his response -- click.

3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.

He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida is a very thin state!'' (OMG)

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''

I said, ''No.''

She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)

5.An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas . I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)

6.An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.

I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'

He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude!''

After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..

8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright (D) from Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''

I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''

10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''

I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.

She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''

If by liberal you mean left or socialist, then let me tell you that I have escaped from socialist Czechoslovakia and anything even slightly left needs to be thwarted and worries me to death.  People of USA do not believe that it could happen here. But in Czechoslovakia capitalist democracy, just like USA now, it took few days. And so it did every where else. Surprise !!!!! here it is. But here numbers do not lie. Here is incomplete statistic of how many people were killed by their own left governments. That is about $150 000 000 (mild estimate) non war deaths. There is no comparison with any other regime, religion or any natural disaster. As I like to say proof is in the pudding.

Have nice day!
