A small collection of many thoughts regarding life. These thoughts may relate to current affairs or items I have observed in the past, if I think they fit, I have added them. In my opinion what I present here is true. But truth is not the same to all. If you read something on this blog, I suggest you personally check it out before you accept it as the truth.
45+ years of public service, 30 in the US Navy and 15+ more in Florida law enforcement. Semi-permanetly retired since the end of 2006. But still open for adventure.
A Veteran, whether active duty, discharged, retired, regular or reserve, is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to, and including their life."
Chancellor Merkel's center-right alliance lost a key election in Germany's most populous state on Sunday, costing her majority in the upper house of parliament and curbing her government's power. It seems a lot of Germans do not want to bail out Greece from their financial difficulties.
Soap Box Ravings can't help see a connection here with President Obama's government in the United States. He spends his time on items in his agenda, but appears to be doing nothing for his fellow citizens. Twice he has verbally attacked police officers conduct in this country. He forced through a medica health plan that seems bound to bankrupt the country. However, when people complain he tries to pigeon hole them as malcontents. He has continually promised things which did not happen, some small and some very damaging.
If I had to guess twenty-five cents this would be exactly that, somebody who’s homegrown, maybe a mentally deranged person, or somebody with a political agenda, that doesn’t like the health care bill or something: New York City Mayor Bloomberg on CBS Evening News regarding the Times Square SUV Bomber, May 3, 2010.
Soap Box Ravings reminds you that as Mayor of New York City he should lead with facts, not speculation. Think about the magnitude of intelligence provided for his use.
Funny how the knee- jerk reaction of both the Obama administration and the main stream media, given the fact that a car bomb was set to detonate at the "crossroads of the world", Times Square, was that Islamic terrorism was not at work.Soap Box Ravings provides the above which is the opening line of a story that may be found here: http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-41853-Homeland-Security-Examiner~y2010m5d5-Times-Square-bombing-The-Tea-Party-movement-was-involved
Pakistani Taliban Directed Times Square Bomb Attempt, Officials Say
Obama administration officials Sunday said that the Pakistani Taliban, which had claimed credit for the failed attempt by Faisal Shahzad to set off a car bomb in New York's crowded Times Square on May 1, did in fact that mastermind the plot.Story at: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/05/09/pakistani-taliban-directed-times-square-bomb-attempt-officials/print/
Soap Box Ravings believes this may be the first Taliban directed attack in the United States since 09-11-01. But I guess the Taliban feel emboldened by our touchy feely President. I don't think (Do you miss him yet?) President Bush made the Taliban feel so warm and cozy.
Soap Box Ravings says if only Obama and his cronies would stand up for the people of Arizona and the rest of the country like they do for their Muslim friends.
