Bumps in the Road!

The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer 

THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI

We're the battling 
boys of Benghazi  
 
No fame, no glory, no 
paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in 
a blazing hell
Defending our country 
we loved so well.
 
It wasn't our job, but 
we answered the  
call,
fought to the 
Consulate and scaled the wall. 
We pulled
twenty 
Countrymen from the jaws of fate 
Led them to safety, 
and stood at the gate. 
 
Just the two of us,
and foes by the score, 
But we stood fast to 
bar the door.
Three calls for 
reinforcement, but all were denied, 
So we fought, and we 
fought, and we fought 'til we died.
 
We gave our all for 
our Uncle
Sam,
But Barack Obama 
didn't give a damn.
Just two dead seals 
who carried the load 
No thanks to 
us.........
we 
were just "Bumps In The 
Road."

Freedom is Not Free, A soldiers pledge!

As the son of a WWII Marine, the father of a Navy fighter pilot currently serving this great nation, and the employer of many veterans I ask that you pass this on to all who care and all who should care.  Because Freedom is Not Free and we are privileged to live in the greatest country on earth!

May God continue to bless the United States of America.

Texas One Ups Obama - Again!

Texas A&M Fly-by at Mississippi State Game

Since the sequester funding kicked in early this year, “Fly-Bys” at sporting events have been banned by the Obama Administration as a way to, in my opinion, punish the conservative public.  Not surprisingly, since that time Texas A&M has continued fly-bys at its home football games using volunteers flying vintage aircraft from the Commemorative Air Force or privately owned restored aircraft and experimental aircraft.  This last weekend (November 9,  2013) at the last home game for 2013 Texas A&M played Mississippi State.  The plane below did the pre-game fly-by during the National Anthem. 

  

At first blush, during the fly-by my thought was, “well I guess with the new budget deal and no debt ceiling, military fly-bys have returned.  It wasn’t until the end of the third quarter when the air crew was introduced did we learn that this was the ultimate in your face by Conservative Texans and Texas A&M.  The plane is not a US Air Force plane, it is owned by a private citizen and fellow Texan  H. Ross Perot, Jr. and was flown by one of his pilots with Texas Governor, Rick Perry sitting in the back seat as co-pilot!  God I love being a Conservative Aggie and living in Texas!

Gig Em!

Inarticulate Republicans!

"The Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, epitomized what has been wrong with the Republicans for decades when he emerged from a White House meeting last Wednesday, went over to the assembled microphones, briefly expressed his disgust with the Democrats’ intransigence, and walked on away. . . and yet, with multiple television-network cameras focused on Speaker Boehner as he emerged from the White House, he couldn’t be bothered to prepare a statement that would help clarify a confused situation, full of fallacies and lies.

If Republicans want to show some seriousness about articulating their case, they might start by deleting the abbreviation “CR” from their vocabulary. As has been said, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” That journey is long overdue."

What determines your station in life?

It isn't your race, it isn't religion, it isn't your education, where you were born, who your parents are,  or how much money you have, it is your attitude.  As Zig Ziggler says, "It's your attitude that determines your altitude!"  Your attitude is contagious.  If you are positive, confident, and friendly almost everyone you meet will smile and treat you with respect and most will want to find a way to help you.  If your attitude is negative, bitchy, and sour few people will lift a finger to help you or feel sorry for you and no one wants to be around you.  If your attitude is that someone other than you is responsible for your station in life you are simply wrong.  You will never improve your life until you improve your attitude!

Try it before you scoff at this advice!  What do you have to lose?

And BTW, contrary to what you may hear from the Inside the Beltway crowd in DC, or some leftist follower of the latest fads, no one owes you anything!

GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY

ON JULY 20, 1969, AS COMMANDER OF THE APOLLO 11 LUNAR MODULE, NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO SET FOOT ON THE MOON.

HIS FIRST WORDS AFTER STEPPING ON THE MOON, "THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND," WERE TELEVISED TO EARTH AND HEARD BY MILLIONS.*

BUT JUST BEFORE HE RE-ENTERED THE LANDER, HE MADE THE ENIGMATIC REMARK

"GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY."

MANY PEOPLE AT NASA THOUGHT IT WAS A CASUAL REMARK CONCERNING SOME RIVAL SOVIET COSMONAUT. HOWEVER, UPON CHECKING, THERE WAS NO GORSKY IN EITHER THE RUSSIAN OR AMERICAN SPACE PROGRAMS .

OVER THE YEARS, MANY PEOPLE QUESTIONED ARMSTRONG AS TO WHAT THE - 'GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY' STATEMENT MEANT, BUT ARMSTRONG ALWAYS JUST SMILED. ON JULY 5, 1995, IN TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA , WHILE ANSWERING QUESTIONS FOLLOWING A SPEECH, A REPORTER BROUGHT UP THE 26-YEAR-OLD QUESTION ABOUT MR GORSKY TO ARMSTRONG.

THIS TIME HE FINALLY RESPONDED BECAUSE MR. GORSKY HAD DIED, SO NEIL ARMSTRONG FELT HE COULD NOW ANSWER THE QUESTION. HERE IS THE ANSWER TO "WHO WAS MR GORSKY":

IN 1938, WHEN HE WAS A KID IN A SMALL MID-WESTERN TOWN , HE WAS PLAYING BASEBALL WITH A FRIEND IN THE BACKYARD. HIS FRIEND HIT THE BALL, WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOUR'S YARD BY THEIR BEDROOM WINDOW.

HIS NEIGHBOURS WERE MR. AND MRS. GORSKY. AS HE LEANED DOWN TO PICK UP THE BALL, YOUNG ARMSTRONG HEARD MRS. GORSKY SHOUTING AT MR. GORSKY,

"SEX! YOU WANT SEX?! YOU'LL GET SEX WHEN THE KID NEXT DOOR WALKS ON THE MOON!"

It broke the place up.

NEIL ARMSTRONG'S FAMILY CONFIRMED THIS IS A TRUE STORY. Do pass it on, it's too choice not to be shared
