I think the vast differences in...By Rush Limbaugh:<br /><br />I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11. Well, I can't let the numbers pass by<br />because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of<br />this country. If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're<br />going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of<br />$250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.?<br />If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action,<br />the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable.<br /><br /><br /><br />Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get<br />$833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a<br />screeching halt.<br /><br /><br /><br />Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185 million up?to?$4.7 million are complaining<br />that it's not enough.?Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.?<br />Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers. (Actually, soldiers are put in harms way by politicians and commanding<br />officers.)<br /><br /><br /><br />We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have<br />started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11 families<br />are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the<br />embassies are now asking for compensation as well.<br /><br /><br /><br />You see where e this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to<br />nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in lo w-rent housing.?Make sense?<br /><br /><br /><br />However, our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an<br />E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who<br />placed them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per month.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-51213209437653276732009-05-06T23:05:00.000-04:002009-05-06T23:05:00.000-04:00That nudging may look and feel altogether differen...<I>That nudging may look and feel altogether different than it has in the past, leaving us with no time-tested, silver-bullet approach. I would urge LGBT activists working on both the inside and outside of this administration to continually second-guess their first impulses and then proceed to act with caution.<br /><br />Sometimes, lobbing that grenade yields nothing more than collateral damage, and other times settling for soothing reassurances is simply a dead-end road to complacency. As President Obama says himself, he will be judged on what he delivers.<br /><br />And so will the LGBT leaders who head our organizations during this critical time, whether they are whispering in his ear or shouting from behind the White House gates.</I><A HREF="http://www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid81861.asp" REL="nofollow">View From the Hill</A>samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-50008851665447988332009-05-06T23:02:00.001-04:002009-05-06T23:02:00.001-04:00(newt)(newt)Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-16282455216966768102009-05-06T23:02:00.000-04:002009-05-06T23:02:00.000-04:00Are You an Obama Winner Or an Obama Loser -

Instead, I lightly suggest you turn your attention away from these acute conditions, to something more chronic: <br />the relentless crash in Mexico’s oil production.<br /><br />It is nothing less than astonishing that Mexico’s oil production collapse is not one of the biggest stories of the decade, especially for the United States. <br /><br />The trajectory here is on pace to take Mexico’s output from 3.4 Mb/day as recently as early 2005, to 2.4 Mb/day perhaps as soon as this Fall. <br /><br />That is not only a huge percentage for Mexico, but it’s a large percentage of total North American supply. <br />If you believe as I do that geography is going to reassert itself in the years ahead, these declines are fated to unleash an even greater impact.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-77011646501605827052009-05-06T21:26:00.000-04:002009-05-06T21:26:00.000-04:00I thought it was Axelrod who talked him into runni...I thought it was Axelrod who talked him into running now.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-31089997507563832332009-05-06T21:25:00.000-04:002009-05-06T21:25:00.000-04:00Biographer and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Do...<I>Biographer and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin doesn’t just write about former presidents — in doing her often years-long research, she feels as though she is living with them and wakes up with them each morning.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Goodwin points out that there is a historical cycle almost every 30 or 40 years where a president can make significant change happen.

Cousin Eva, on a certain visit, trying to interest them in the study of Latin, told them the story of John Wilkes Booth, who, handsomely garbed in a long black cloak, had leaped to the stage after assassinating President Lincoln. <B>"Sic semper tyrannis,"</B> he had shouted superbly, in spite of his broken leg. The little girls never doubted that it had happened in just that way, and the moral seemed to be that one should always have Latin, or at least a good classical poetry quotation, to depend upon in great or desperate moments. Cousin Eva reminded them that no one, not even a good Southerner, could possibly approve of John Wilkes Booth's deed. It was murder, after all. They were to remember that. But Miranda, used to tragedy in books and in family legends--two great-uncles had committed suicide and a remote ancestress had gone mad for love--decided that, with the murder, there would have been no point to dressing up and leaping to the stage shouting in Latin. So how could she disapprove of the deed? It was a fine story. She knew a distantly related old gentleman who had been devoted to the art of Booth, had seen him in a great many plays, but not, alas, at his greatest moment. Miranda regretted this; it would have been so pleasant to have the assassinatin of Lincoln in the family.</I>--<br /><br />--<br /><br />from "Old Mortality"<br /><br />Katherine Anne Porter<br /><br /><br />:)Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-58971142012457071512009-05-06T20:57:00.000-04:002009-05-06T20:57:00.000-04:00Long-time Coeur d'Alene resident.Long-time Coeur d'Alene resident.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-89997345173365050352009-05-06T20:56:00.000-04:002009-05-06T20:56:00.000-04:00No, Bob.
