Rev-bo  User ID: 538751 United States06/30/2010 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is this some kind of bureaucratic stunt where he gets retirement and active duty pay because he's been with the Coast Guard for 40 years? Sort of like when teachers retire and then get re-hired immediately, and end up making double their salary? If it is, so help me...

| Tols User ID: 376580 United States06/30/2010 05:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank God he was a disgrace to our country anyways.  "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy"- James Madison "Joining the military does not mean that you will be defending the country. The purpose of the U.S. military should be to defend the United States. Period. Yet, one of the greatest myths ever invented is that the current U.S. military somehow defends our freedoms. First of all, our freedoms are not in danger of being taken away by foreign countries; if they are taken away it will be by our own government. It is not a country making war on us that we need to fear, it is our government making war on the Bill of Rights. And second, how is stationing troops in 150 different regions of the world on hundreds of U.S. military bases defending our freedoms? It is not the purpose of the U.S. military to change regimes, secure the borders of other countries, or spread democracy at gunpoint. The Department of Defense should first and foremost be the Department of Homeland Security."--Laurence Vance-- |

And I can tell you this. The surface rupture of the roads and highways is out of control. Also, everyday of the week the structure of my moms home is "cracking" and shifting. You can hear the walls and the surface crack. Nearby is a dollar general store. In that parking lot there are 3 flagpoles that "vibrate" violently. (not shaking from wind) Each and everyday, the roads "blow" up potholes. U.S. 41 is ruptured severely. Interstate 65 is also badly damaged. They keep trying to repave them but it doesn't work. The cline ave bridge at points is closing. |

| Rev-bo User ID: 538751 United States06/30/2010 05:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good god! What is with all these powerful figures resigning, retiring, and being fired? There is something seriously fishy about this. Especially Thad Allen's stepdown. Quoting: SubPopThis is just about money. He's retiring, getting retirement pay, and going to work for a civilian organization, no doubt at 800% of his previous salary. Can't begrudge a guy trying to make a buck, but damn. Bad form, Allen. Bad form. Of course, given the choice of working for Barack Obama or Tony Hayward, I think I'm going with Hayward. Close call, but Hayward wins because at least he doesn't occupy his office illegally.

He had a job lined up with BP. Then, the spill happened. He was retained in the Coast Guard for both reasons. He knew the CG, and knew BP. No fucking conspiracy. Are you really that fucking stupid ? |

JP Morgan Chase (aka the Federal Reserve, aka the goobermint) holds the most shares in BP. They are all in bed together, aligned and on the same team. |
