Here (U.S.)
On this, our Memorial Weekend 2009, let us not forget those (the real Heroes) that gave their tomorrows so we could have ours.
Thank you!

We work to live and people die defending our freedom. Then, big corporations SELL our Jobs to other countries. Is that why Americans die in Foreign wars? To ship our Jobs overseas and unemployed fellow Americans so that Corporate heads can make Multi Millions until the company goes Bust and then keep the Money and their wealth while the Unemployed who lost their Jobs DIRECTLY from these Greedy MoFos then starve to death trying to survive on what little they have left? If we must fight and die for a cause, let the cause do more than fatten a few millionaires. I had trouble with my GM Car. I called and spoke to some rude ass in Argentina who told me 'too bad' you are stuck with the Car. I had trouble with my Visa bill and called. I spoke to some woman in INDIA who knew all of my private information. I had trouble with my Web service and called on night and spoke to someone in the Philippines. The billing center is only 20 miles from me where they take my money. The Problem center is on the other side of the world. I spoke to a wife of an Auto Credit worker and was told her husband was ordered to go to India and train them to do his job or he would loose his and his pension. He did as was told and afterwards was fired because, they didn't need him anymore. Is this what we fight and die for? GM lost 23 million last year as reported. The CEO salary was 16 million. So, they really only lost 7 million but he pocketed 16 million because he was greedy. Now your sons and grandchildren will pay in their taxes the bail out that allowed him to keep the 16 million he stole in my opinion and kept. I hope truly that Obama fixes this Greed for money and life policy. It is totally messed up. I never felt more like a puppet on a string than I have felt this past year. It doesn't matter how hard I work. It matters more how many millions these CEO's can steal and get away with. Then, we the public puppets have to pay for it. This totally sucks.. |

Some mighty sad, but true words uttered by Ken. People wonder what's wrong with this country (America.) I guess most are just blind or snowed by reality and shrug their shoulders. If products and jobs keep going to other countries, one day we Americans will have no money to buy those products. Scary thought, but it's developing as we speak.

Why people can't see that the One Percenters, CEO's and old school politicians are the ones stealing our tax dollars, and doing their best to destroy the middle class ( Yes, that includes you, you Walmart shoppin', Rush Limbaugh worshipping, gun toting hillbillys out there ), I just can't understand. Yet they still vote these fools into office, and believe the crap they spew. Here is the perfect example of lack of smarts....the guy who had his house burn to the ground today because he did not pay the local fire department $75.00 for his yearly coverage. His county in "redneckville" had the typical knee jerk reaction to voting to raise taxes to cover emergency services. In good old "right wing" fashion, they strongly voted for no new taxes, and left coverage up to individuals in the local communities to pay the $75.00 per year for fire dept. services. Well of course this guy did not pay, so he got no help and his house burned to the ground killing his dogs and cats as well. The moral of this story is that if the fools in the county had just done the math, and voted for the tax increase, they all would have paid 13 cents each to have full fire dept. coverage, and this guy's home would have been saved. I know I would rather pay 13 cents that $75.00 for a much needed service. Does that make me a socialist? No, just better at math that the hillbillys in redneckville. Just remember, there is no such thing as "Trickle Down Economics" and there never will be with the human race. We are inherently greedy, and when given power and the opportunity to steal, people do. Anyone who is rich today and complaining about taxes should look to what the tax rate was on the rich and corporations back in the 1950's. It was about 90%! They have it easy today. The key to a strong USA is a strong middle class and fewer elite billionaires. |

Whether it's home items, simple clothes, furniture, hardware, appliances or electronics, they can under price everyone. They do on the other hand hire a lot of people including the elderly but so does McDonalds and Burger King. At least there, most can tell the difference between processed food and real cooked food. How many can tell the difference between quality goods and Walmart bargains? |

The worst part is that these mega companies have so much pull in Washington, that no matter who we elect, the Walmarts of the world have the politicians in their back pocket. That leads to low wages, environmental destruction, a free ride on taxes for the corporations, and the conversion of the middle class to peasant slaves. The only winners are a few CEO's who take everything for themselves and hide the money in other countries. Just like **** Chaney. |

Where possible....
Where possible and at all costs, I avoid shopping at Wal-Mart for several reasons, including those Trevor mentions. I choose to support what's left of American made products and will continue to do so.
Our Govt. is and has been getting way too big and the corruption continues on both sides of the party lines. It's going to take a serious shake-up of our apathetic mindset as a people to make a meaningful difference. Our Govt. continues to play on this to their advantage and our detriment. We're like friggin' sheep being led to the slaughter. "Political Correctness" is destroying and will destroy this country unless swift and genuine change occurs soon. A complete and thorough house-cleaning is way overdue. I believe people who believe in and support our Constitution and Rule Of Law in this country are hearing and seeing just about all they can stomach. Nov. 2nd. will be very telling. With no disrespect to others opinions and what has been discussed thus far about this topic, this thread is obviously taking a turn into what could become a political fire-storm. On that note, I will attempt to refrain from adding fuel to that potential fire and move on.

I have a problem with this name because it has no real direction. From any person's own point of view, he is 'here'.
Tim, I think you need to define the boundaries of this thread a little more clearly. You could try: "This big bit (U.S.)" or, maybe, "Here, from where Tim is standing, (U.S.)". For guidance, check out the thread I started called, "Up There (Near Canada)". You could have actually used a name like this because you are all reasonably near to Canada. I give you permission to take over this name if it helps. No, don't thank me. |

John C. Beale.....
Killed in action the week before, the body of Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City, Georgia, just south of Atlanta, on June 11, 2009. The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough, Georgia. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time. Nowadays, one can be led to believe that America no longer respects honor and no longer honors sacrifice outside the military. Be it known that there are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and impact of total self-sacrifice. Georgia remains one of those grateful places. The link below is a short travelogue of that day's remarkable and painful journey.
