Quiet Please

Reading the responses concerning missile defense and unprotected ports.

Having stood for hours in Airport Security Checkpoint lines for nearly eight years, I am no newcomer to criticism of that nonsense.

We now know Shotgun Cheney's old outfit has DEFRAUDED U.S. taxpayerS of more than $34-BILLION.

Properly applied, that and other money wasted through NO BID, SWEETHEART contracts for Bush/Cheney cronies would have created optimum security for the nation's container ports and terminals.

Instead, few of the several hundred thousand containers arriving here annually are properly inspected.

Anyone of those containers, being efficiently loaded onto a long-haul truck or stacked two high on rail cars, could contain Weapons of Mass Destruction.

This dumb old Country Boy has been screaming since about six months after the airport security posts went up -- manned by illiterate and incompetent immigrants at nearly every major airport -- That this nonsense was purely COSMETIC and USELESS.

Last year, some clown climbed through a four-strand barbed wire fence at the back of an International Airport, walked across two runways, across the taxiways, climbed into a jet at the ramp and was sitting in the pilot's seat when discovered.

While this was going on, you can bet a 60-something grandmother in a wheelchair was being "wanded" because of her steel hip and knee implants.

By the way, every GTA (Grand Theft Auto) detective in American knows newer stolen cars are being loaded into containers and shipped overseas in volume.

Guess what, there is no system to prevent annual shipments of stolen cars totalling well into the Billions.

This is the Homeland Securitysystem planned and purchased by DubYah and the Draft Dodgers.

Including the $2-BILLION in worthless fencing along about 375 miles of a 2,000 mile southern border.

Meantime, ocean going freighters, fishing trawlers and barges are dropping illegals from around the world into high-speed inflatable boats (a la the Navy Seals' ZODIACs) and sending them onto isolated beaches from Maine down to the Florida Keys, and around to South Padre Island in west Texas, plus another flotilla sending illegals onto West Coast beaches.

Yes Mike, That's why they were on 2 different posts!! DUUUUH!!

Oh, Mike, wasn't it the liberal editor of Newsweek that said Obama was "sort of God"??

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the fearmongering of the right.

And look at that on Rasmussen Obama is +5.

jhat, His Lordship Obama spent more than that taking over General Motors. I think the security of our country is worth more than an automobile company!! Besides, who's to say the N. Koreans won't improve on their technology and build a missile that will reach San Francisco??

Obama's "popularity" is going to take a nose dive!! Especially after the lefties on the left coast realize that there is a lunatic on the loose in North Korea with nuclear missiles aimed at them. What is Obama's answer? Cut the missile defense budget by 1.6 Billion!! Real smart, Mr. Harvard graduate!!

And if you follow Rasmussen you know those numbers change wildly on a daily basis. Last week in a three day span he went from +7 to +2 to +5.

Just today his ratings are back up to +4. I follow it everyday but it's not the only one I follow.

If you go to www.pollstar.com they offer up many different tracking devices that include every poll that is released in the United States. His job approval is at 59%, his favorable rating is at 62%. Also a number that I think is more indicitive is the right direction, wrong direction poll which, as of yesterday, is nearly even at 47.1% wrong and 44% right. This is the closest it has been in Obama's VERY EARLY term.

I also think it is VERY IMPORTANT to keep in mind that Obama is just now going through his sixth month as being president. I realize that we are in a culture today as a country of the quick instant fix, but this economy isn't going to be fixed quickly. As the president said we need to be patient. There are signs that the economy is correcting and that things are getting better but it is still going to take time.

Wow that sounds just like Bush, but actually he got elected because people wanted to have a beer with him.

Who would have thought our society had dipped do much that it wasn't whether you were smart or knew what you were doing or had good ideas but whether or not people wanted to have a beer with you.

I'll take Obama over Bush anyday. At least Obama knows what he is doing and doing fine at doing it. Yes people are truly starting to come around, that's why his poll numbers stay high.

No I'm good, thanks.

High Plains Journal and friends are backing a Wheat Harvest website, letting us follow two familys on the custom combine circuit this summer.

One family from the Dakotas, one from Nebraska.

They are reporting life on the harvest trail, well into Texas and Oklahoma.

Sam, you are a pleasure to read, informing everyone of the truckers' world.

Don't leave us, tell us of the life of the last Free Men.

Remember the warning issued more than 70 years ago.

"That Democrat ic lunatic will destroy American. We will not survive four years of Franklin Roosevelt as president."

And nearly 150 years ago --{That Illinois Baboon will force the destruction of these United States."

SAM,

Tonight Lebanon has elected a pro-American government, the Old Guard in Iran will probably steal the election, but they have lost the war against their own people.

The liberal left is howling after Obama's hide because he is a pure centrist. He is a moderate placed by Bush/Cheney in an incredibly difficult situation.

Militarily, he has moved to see that U.S. service men and women engaged in combat TODAY have the needed equipment, weapons and supplies to protect their own lives and achieve victory.

A need that was ignored for six and one half years by the Conservatives who put them into Harms' Way/.

Michelle Obama spoke to graduates of the newest, smallest Univ. of California campus in Merced County. They won't have any hope of an effective alumni association for 20 years.

There was no political gain. The campus is in the heart of the most conservative farm belt of California's Central Valley. Her presence for that commencement won't affect any elections.

Back here at Fort Bragg, where 90% of the soldiers have spent less than 20% of their time at home for more than six years, Mrs. Obama went into a enlisted families only session, and insisted the brass leave the room. The women report she asked the tough questions and understood their situation of surviving on short rations, because enlisted men's Home Rations allowance ends when he goes back into combat. [Thanks for risking your life, here's a pay cut.]

Memorial Day, the wounded at Walter Reed Hospital got a private visit from the President. No photogs, no press -- Just wounded men and the President.

Yesterday and today, I've talked with more than 100 real estate professionals across North Carolina. These are almost totally conservative business people. They report the economy in this region is coming back.

The conservative business reality -- the national economy functioning at full steam will generate enough additional tax revenue to repay all the stimulous and bailout money within two years.

Some banks are already repaying their bailout money.

If Obama has allowed the economy to continue it free fall, without stepping in -- the resulting depression would have made the 1930s appear to be a rehearsal.

The Great Depression, beginning with Black Friday in 1929, was allowed to free fall for three more years after Black Friday.

Had this current disaster been allowed 2008, 2009 and 2010 for continued decline, the nation might not have recovered.

Take pride in you ability and desire to be a good commercial driver and put in a full month's work for your paycheck. That's the AmericaNn way.

But quit worrying about this country going to Hell.

Quit worrying about Liberals trying to control you.

Liberals are not tryng to put morality cops in every bedroom, are not trying to control personal lives.

Most liberals are opposed to drunk drivers, they are opposed to big rigs operated by pill popping Meth Heads -- And don't try to tell me you have never seen a hopped up driver.

it would be great if no state had to operate weigh stations, but you know the reality -- drivers trying to support families would haul 200,000 lb. loads if it paid better than 40,000 lbs. So every state has multiple scales supported by overweight and equipment fines.

Those aren't liberal cops enforcing the law. But, they are out there to control the last of the Free Men -- because those Free Men cannot control themselves in pursuit of a buck.

Sam, Shalom. Rural Citizen may well be right about Conservatives learning how to 'lose tastefully...' Perhaps it is time for the 'secret weapon' from the Conservative cabinet, the 'Silence Gun.' If there is one thing a Liberal usually cannot stand, is silence from the opposition.

We did loose the election. PBHO is obligating, IMO, the nation into oblivion (I pray not, but...), and when sanity returns to the people, I fear it may be too late to recover.

Now, there is also the chance we are wrong, and the Liberals are correct (small chance, IMO, but...).

Let the Conservatives do what we know best, survival without governmental welfare, until we have been taxed out of a job. But then, once we start loosing our jobs, so shall the Liberals. Then, perhaps we can regain our sanity.

And in Center Ring, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Liberal Mega-Give-Away, with money we do not have, for people who do not have. And we thought life till now was expensive. We soon will need a two wheeled cart to carry the money for a 'pound of wheat, or three pounds of Barley.' Christians, on both sides, will know what I mean.

Pray for our salvation from Liberalism. Arley

Don't shush unless YOU want to shush - in any event, keep it on the hardtop, Sam, we'll be waiting. God bless.

"In my own personal travels, I run into basically two types of folks: Those who are shocked and appalled at what has happened, and is happening, to this country, and those who think Obama is the answer, if we'd just give him a chance."

I think you run in far too polarizing circles. We all tend to believe that most people act in a similar way that we do. I think because you are so partisan in your views you feel everyone else must be as partisan as well. Most people I know are neither shocked and appalled nor believe Obama is the answer. Most of us fall somewhere in the middle. I could be wrong.

Anyway, have a good summer Sam.
