You Are Sh*tting Me!

Every now and then I run across a story in the search for material for this site…….. I run across a story that just makes me shake my head in disbelief……we all know of the raging battle over entitlements being fought in the halls of Washington and on the air….if you are not then perhaps another game of Frogger will help…..but this story is one that I just had to post….

By now most of us know that the entitlement hater Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin is on a crusade to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid….regardless of the spin he puts on it….his plan will essentially eliminate the programs if they are passed the way they are written…..

Thanx to website, Politicususa for this report……

When Representative Paul Ryan was 16 years old , tragedy struck his family. His 55 year old father had passed away from a heart attack. Young Paul Ryan found his father’s lifeless body and was burdened by the fact that he had to tell his mother and siblings of this horrible situation.

After his father’s passing, young Paul Ryan started collecting social security benefits until the age of 18 years old. He took this benefit and saved it for his college education. Representative Paul Ryan is one example of the millions of people whose lives have depended on our social contract with the American people. Without this benefit, his mother would have had to make even tougher decisions and Representative Paul Ryan may not have been able to pay for his college education. This social contract lifted him and his entire family out of a tough situation.

The opportunity for Ryan to get back on his feet thanx to a government program will be eliminated by the same person that it helped in years past….so it was fine for him to receive the help he needed but the rest of us are NOT that so entitled…….

You people need to wake up and pay attention!  Your way of life is fleeting and disappearing…..and the sad part is that the voters are the enablers of this demise…..

A Reaction To Hate

Hopefully by now most everyone knows the hateful Westbrook Baptists Church of the spiteful Phelps family, that gang of hateful Christians that show up at the funerals of fallen soldiers to protest…….they have been covered by every news organization and Phelps and his ilk have been interviewed by numerous channels….and they always spew such hate and contempt that it is sickening…..personally, I think that they need to be silenced when around a funeral…there is NOTHING so dire that it should be permissible to stomp on a family’s time burying a child or father or mother or……These protests often include signs such as “God hates fags,” and “Thank God for dead soldiers,” as well as flag desecration.

By now most everyone knows that I live in the state of Mississippi and that I do not think much of our politicians and sometimes I am not too thrilled with the ideals of the majority….but that is a political thing…….but when I was surfing I found a story by Ryan Ebersole on a happening in a small town of Brandon, Mississippi…..

When they showed up, a few days before the funeral, they encountered a man who apparently was not too receptive to their message and he assaulted one of the members. When the police arrived, the beaten man was unable to give a thorough description of his assailant, and when the police interviewed the large crowd that had gathered, it appeared that no one remembered any significant detail of the incident.

The morning of the funeral, the Phelps clan discovered that several pickup trucks had parked behind their vehicles, blocking most of them in. When they searched for the drivers to ask them to move their trucks, it appeared that they were nowhere to be found. Naturally, they called the police and demanded that the trucks be towed. However, the police informed them that their wrecker was running behind, and that it would be several hours before the trucks could be towed. A few did make it to the funeral, however the police escorted them away – so that they could be investigated for a crime that they could have possibly been involved in. After a few hours of questioning (and the conclusion of the soldier’s funeral) the police concluded that they were not involved in the said crime. Thankfully for the Rogers family, Staff Sgt. Rogers was buried in peace.

Amazing!  This sort of thing usually happens then it is some liberal or, God forbid….some socialist, tries to protest or organize in these small tightly woven towns……but to have Baptists attack Baptists is just outstanding……even though most Mississippians would agree with demonizing of gays, they adore their service people and hold them in high regard and will not allow anyone to crap on their memories….even a fellow Baptist!

I know I have not been kind to Mississippi or its voters….but I can say now that I am proud of their reaction to this hateful church and family……
