General Sinclair, Member of the Good Old Boys Club

Army General Sinclair cut a deal and won't be going to jail, no surprise since he's a member of the Good Old Boys' Club. The United States military is the biggest Good Old Boys' Club I've ever seen. They would lie to the death for each other, but women beware, you may be in the military but you haven't made the club and you may never make the club because you open your mouth and tell what's really going on. You've broken the number 1 rule of the club.

General Sinclair, by his own admission, was having affairs and forcing women to have sex; but, they couldn't stand to convict him and put him in prison because they know that they are all guilty of the same damn thing. Give it up boys, the women are ratting you out and it's only a matter of time before the Good Old Boys' Club comes to an end.

MY Comment on Michael Smerconish's Fred Phelps Comments

On my way to work the other morning, I was listening to the radio show POTUS Politics with Micheal Smerconish. Mr. Smerconish was having a discussion about religion, would Fred Phelps go to heaven if he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior before he died. In case you do not know who Fred Phelps is, he is the person who protests at American solider's funerals because he says God is punishing America for accepting gays.

Personally I think that anyone who would go to any funeral to hold a loud, nasty protest deserves to go to hell, but I may be wrong.

My comment is actually about the discussion on the remark Mr. Smerconish made that in the Bible God states that he wants us to forgive our enemies and accept Jesus Christ as our savior and then he will admit us into heaven, no matter what we do in life. Michael Smerconish remarked, would murders get into heaven if upon their deathbed they accepted Christ as their savior.

Now, I'm not a religious scholar nor any type of pastor, priest, or rabbi; so, this is my personal opinion. The God of the Old Testiment, the God of the Jews, was not a nice, forgiving God. And, I realize that Christians ascribe to the three Gods in one, the Trinity. However, I am talking about the God in Genisis that created the heavens and the earth and everything in it. Read the old testament and you will see that God was a jealous God and his ideology was, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." There was no turn the other cheek ideology.

Jesus Christ, the son of God, one part of the three gods in the trinity, and he was born and died a Jew folks. Christianity was formed by his disciples after Christ's death. Christ's ideology was to love thine enemies, turn the other cheek, and all that good stuff. Jesus Christ, on the cross, turned to the thieves hanging beside him and offered them forgiveness if they accepted him as their savior; and one of them did. Jesus Christ turned the water to wine, healed the sick, and raised the dead; so, does that null and void the ideology of his father?  I don't think so.

So, Mr. Smerconish, I think that you should say that Jesus Christ would forgive Mr. Phelp's and allow him into heaven with him; but, I'm hoping to go to God's heaven and God believes that revenge is the answer to people like Mr. Phelps.

Don't Monitor the Intelligence Committee?

Why is it OK for our government to monitor American citizens; but, not the Intelligence Committee in Congress? Why because they consider themselves above the government of which they are a part. 

I'd like to know what the Intelligence Committee thinks they have the right to discuss that surveillance would disclose to us, the American public, that we shouldn't know.  Ms. Feinstein, you're just making yourself look bad with all that complaining.

Don't Bite the Hand that Protects You!

Congress is in the process of voting on a bill that will cut more benefits to our military and their families. One part of the bill is to make the Commissary purchases cost the military family more; that would be the food that they purchase. Congress has already cut military pay raises, made medical care more expensive, and increased the time members will be away from their families, spending time in foreign countries, fighting wars.

Now these military members are the people that defend this nation. They are expected to be there to go to war at the whim of Congress and/or the President. These are the defenders of our freedom (or what is left of it); and, we are cutting their pay, their medical care, raising the prices of their food and clothing; what the heck is this nation thinking?

I am not an active military member; however, I have been a military spouse since 1971 and so I know of which I speak. If I were an active military member and my country was doing all of these wonderful things for me and my family, I'd think twice about doing a great job of defending the good old USA.
