34th B.G. - USAAF
I'm a typical white gal who grew up in the '60's. I don't suffer fools gladly. I love History, teach it and am involved in State and Local politics. I have a Bachelor's, a Master's and a Doctorate but, somehow, I still manage to word things improperly resulting in offending someone or their dog. It used to be really fun. NOW - it's more of a minefield where one must skip through life hoping you don't offend someone. I'm SICK of this. I was never prejudiced. I wasn't raised that way. Now - I'm afraid my parents would be rolling in their graves (if they had one) if they were in the thick of this. My Dad was already becoming very aware of the changes in the Country. He often asked "What the hell did I risk my life for? So a Hitler could take over MY Country?" They were disgusted. I feel it's my duty to them and my son and my Country to fight for her in any way I can. So - have at me!

2 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoANY THOUGHTS ON WILLIAM AYERS SIGNING A PETITION TO OBAMA ASKING THAT HE NOT HONOR THOSE WHO FOUGHT?
FOR THE CONFEDERACY???
This is the guy who thought, and still thinks, that bombs and murder are appropriate forms of dissent in this Country.
He is a PROFESSOR at the U. of Chicago - lives in B.O.'s neighborhood and is B.O.'s buddy.
You don't have to agree with slavery to honor those who fell for the SOUTH! Most of them had never even seen a slave and the War of Southern Rebellion WAS NOT fought to free the slaves.

When are you guys going to wake up? Right now we're borrowing $.50 for every dollar He spends.
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWHY IS DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WHITES NOW AN ACCEPTED BEHAVIOR IN OUR COUNTRY?
Seems to me there's been an 180* shift in attitudes in just three months. Anyone can bash Whites as much as they want. If you even THINK a negative thought about a person of color you will be labeled a bigot and shouted down.
Why do 'Persons of Color' get a free pass?
22 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoWhat Provisions do the Armed Forces Make for a Single Mother Who Wants to Join the Service?
My cousin's daughter has a three-year-old and wants to join the Air Force. In my day - this was impossible. I think child care is available after Boot Camp.
Is that correct?
Would her folks have to watch the baby until she gets her first posting at which time the Base will have child care?
P.S. The Father is a real d-bag and she wants to serve her Country AND learn a skill to provide for herself and her baby...
Thank You!!
8 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoIs Answers Getting MORE Racist by the Day?
Seems so to me. It appears to depend upon the most recent program and/or Policy put forth by the Administration.
Where will WE as a Nation go from HERE?
15 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoGeorgia School Principal Making Students Pledge Allegiance to Obama - What does this remind you of?
Did any of you hear the reports on the Georgia School Principal who informed her student body that they were NOT, in fact, pledging Allegiance to the United States of America BUT directly to Barack Obama.
I heard it on Neil Bortz (?) this afternoon - a program I don't usually listen to. He followed up that a child told his mother, who then called the School Board and Bortz. When Bortz tried to talk to the Principal he was referred to "the County."
She stated that ALL the students, or maybe 99.9% of the Student Body, favored Obama so now they would pledge their allegiance directly to him.
Today, the following day, she announced to the entire school that there was a "snitch" in their midst and this information should not have been shared with parents. "What happens in school - stays in school."
You can't make this stuff up.
Does this bother anyone other than me?
Hitler. The War in Europe dragged on and on because the Generals swore an oath directly to the Furher. Their Prussian pride wouldn't let them disobey him.
What do you think about this?
18 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoHow many of you have heard that newt Gingrich is considering a run for President in 2012?
I just saw a crawl on Fox News. (Go figure...)
Do you think he can get past some of the stuff that got him tossed in the first place? I posit if this Country will overlook Obama's flaws, they'll sure overlook Newts!
4 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoHow Do You Feel About the Brits Being Incensed at the Bogus "gifts" OBAMA gave the P.M.? DVD's?
Any of our British friends --- I'd like to know if this affects your love for the Obaminator as well.
I'm f'in EMBARRASSED!
5 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoHow Many of You Have MOTHERS who Worked in War Plants During WWII?
Do you think that influences your opinion re: our Country, our Civil Rights and our Constitution?
How about Mothers who held/hold Masters and/or Doctorates? Does that fact influence you? Especially Women?? Thanks
2 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoJust Interested---How many of you have Fathers who Fought in WWII?
Do you think that makes a difference in the way you view our Country, our Civil Liberties, i.e. Right to Bear Arms and OUR CONSTITUTION?
7 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDon't you think responsible African-Americans who pay their bills are just as annoyed with these freeloaders?
I do. I think responsible people of all colors, faiths and persuasions have had it with this Welfare Society,
I further believe that if THEY started making it an issue, people in power would be hard pressed to argue with them.

7 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoCONTINENTAL FLIGHT 3407 & GOV. PATERSON?
Paterson was never intended to be Governor. He fell into it after Eliot got spanked.
When Flight 3407 went down at 10:20 pm last Thursday-our esteemed Governor was here within 12 hours to "comfort the families."
He now has "Ordered" that all flags in NY fly at half staff next Monday. We've been doing thus since the crash...
This is the FIRST time he's been in Western New York. Photo Op do you think? It was embarrassing and hurtful to our entire Community which lost MANY people on that plane.
1 AnswerOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoWHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT N.Y. GOV. PATERSON & HIS NEW POLICIES?
If you know anything about what's going on in New York - I'd like your opinion.
It appears that, as usual, Upstate and Western are being screwed to pay for the City AND our Welfare State will be better than ever at the expense of the Middle Class (who pay taxes). (I wonder if Geithner paid STATE tax on that which he failed to pay Federal Tax on??)
