Hate Is A Strong Emotion

I was originally going to entitle this post…..”Time To Die, A/Hole” but chose against it….

I regret that I feel the way I do…..some times it is healthy to let your feelings out……

There have been very few people that I can say that I truly HATE.  I mean absolutely HATE.  I did not hate the man that tortured me….yes, I wanted to exact revenge on him….but the feeling was not hate.  I did not hate the woman that totally destroyed my life for about 10 years…..but the person in this story I can say without any remorse….I HATE!

Fred Phelps Sr. became famous for organizing picket lines of brightly-colored signs carrying hateful messages against tolerance during the funerals of military personnel and famous figures. His actions led to at least two federal and several state laws restricting protests during military funerals.

In a statement on his Facebook page, Nathan Phelps, who has been estranged from his father for 30 years, said the senior Phelps was dying in hospice care in Topeka, Kan., and that he had been excommunicated from his own church in August of 2013.

A spokesman for the Westboro Baptist Church said Sunday that the elder Phelps, 84, was being cared for in a facility in Shawnee County, Kan. Spokesman Steve Drain declined to identify the facility or to characterize Phelps’ condition.

Anyone that treats the families of fallen soldiers in this manner deserves nothing but contempt….there is NOTHING Christian about this man and his disgusting followers…..I have a high tolerance for crap that turns my stomach….but when it involves vets I have NO tolerance and these people make me want to puke.

I wish I could have some sympathy but as my grandfather use to say…”you looking for sympathy?  Try between “shit” and “syphilis” in the dictionary.

Now You See It…..Now You Don’t!

I am one of those people that relishes research…….I hear something and I find out as much as I can and possibly write about it……not an attractive trait to most people……but I love research!

Have you been watching the news?  Of course you have!  The whole world has stopped to see and speculate where flight #370 has gotten off…..did it go north….wait!  West?  Crap!  Now South?  Was it terrorism?  Maybe some glitch in the network?  Pilot error is always a good thing to blame….that way you (the media) can protect the dignity of the plane maker.  How does a 777 disappear without a trace?  David Copperfield was in Vegas at the time….cannot blame him.  So where is this damn plane?

Forget the Ukraine……never mind about some random building exploding in NYC.  NO!  We must know everything about this plane.  Even though there is absolutely nothing to be known at this time.

Damn!  Sounds a lot like an episode of the “Ancient Aliens”.  A normal flight that disappears from radar never to be seen again.  Were there special lights just before or after the disappearance?  Is there someone sitting around a table writing a new episode?

Maybe….but let me help the mental midgets with the story……this is NOT the first plane in recent history to have this occurrence…..

For those suggesting that the disappearance of Flight 370 is unparalleled in aviation history, Vocativ would like to remind them that another large Boeing jet took off from an airstrip in Angola in 2003 and hasn’t been seen since. Big difference: That jet had no passengers aboard, but the circumstances surrounding its disappearance are pretty strange nonetheless. Two mechanics—American Ben Charles Padilla and Congolese assistant John Mikel Mutantu—boarded the Boeing 727 on a Luanda airstrip to get it in shape for its next flight. Neither had a pilot’s license, which is why flight controllers were stunned when the plane taxied to the runway and then took off. Was it Padilla? Mutantu? Both? Hijackers who had slipped aboard? Investigators still don’t know, and no sign of the plane has turned up despite an intense international hunt. Some of the theories being tossed around in regard to Flight 370—it crashed into the ocean, it landed secretly, it got shot down by some nation’s military—were similarly floated back then. But “we many never know for sure where it went,” concluded an earlier investigation by Air & Space magazine. It was at the time the largest aircraft to go missing, but the Malaysian jet will take that distinction if it doesn’t turn up.

Where oh where has our little planes gone?

Now have I got your attention?

Mississippi Joins The Club

I wish I could write that the club in question was a good employment report…not so.  Or maybe that the state has outclassed other states in the educational sector….NOT so.

The clib I am referring to is that damn silly club of testing TANF recipients for drugs……..

Residents who apply for temporary financial aid benefits in Mississippi will have to submit to drug testing if the state deems they are likely to be substance abusers under a new measure headed to Gov. Phil Bryant’s (R) desk.

The bill passed the state Senate on Wednesday after passing the state House earlier this year. It would require new applicants to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to submit to a questionnaire that would evaluate the likelihood of substance abuse.

Applicants deemed at risk of substance abuse would then be required to take a drug test. Testing positive once would require a TANF recipient to undergo treatment for substance abuse; testing positive a second time would get a recipient booted from the program for 90 days. A third positive test would exclude a recipient for up to a year.

“The TANF program is a safety net for families in need, and adding this screening process will aid adults who are trapped in a dependency lifestyle so they can better provide for their children,” Bryant said.

The state will use federal funds earmarked for the TANF program to administer the questionnaires and testing. The bill’s lead sponsor, Sen. Terry Burton (R), estimated the testing would cost about $36,000 a year.

They will use federal funds for TANF to test a people that proof has shown to be ineffective of stopping anything…….but NO we must tolerate this BS in the name of punishing people that need help……a typical move by “school Southern” politicians.
