Respect for the Presidency

These photos plus more are now being shown in an NYC Public Library. Photos like these were also shown in a Seattle paper last weekend. My question is this:

Is this how we show respect for the office of the President of the United States?

Respect for the oval office, no matter who was in it, used to be very important for this country. Now we treat the office worse then a vagabond. Imagine if somebody edited photos like these to depict you. Just because they disagree with what your ideaology is.

There was a time in this country when the press did not report things that would hurt our country. Now they print things to hurt our country. FDR was in wheelchair throughout WWII, yet he was never shown in a way where you knew he was handdicapped. JFK had a bad back. Again the press never showed him where you would be able to tell he had a handicap. The reason for this is that America came first. Showing our leaders in a negative light would have made us appear weak to foreign countries.

With photos like these do you question why the world has a negative view of out country?

San Francisco, Anti-Military

Should we be surprised anymore by the actions coming out of San Francisco, California? The place that birthed the hippi movement. A place that has become more and more anti-America in the past few years.

In Novemeber or 2004 San Francisco put Propostition N on their ballet. The proposition would be a declaration to urge the U.S. to withdraw all of its troop from Iraq. Cities have no jurisdiction over the military so this was a wonderful waste of money for a city. I'm sure you can thank the Democrats for this. Not surprisingly this proposition passed 195,257 Votes/ 63.33% to 113,053 Votes / 36.67%.

In 2005 after a local congressional delegation had secured $3 million for its transport, the USS Iowa was refused docking rights in the port of San Francisco. The board of supervisors voted agaisnt it 3-5It was sent there to be a floating museum. The USS Iowa served during World War II and the Korean war. Had it docked an estimated 500,000 people a year would have visited it. Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval appearing on "Hannity & Colmes" to defend the USS Iowa decision said that "theUnited States should not have a military." Chris Daly of the Board of Supervisors in 2005 stated, "I am sad to say Iam not proud of the history of the United States of America since the1940s.". These are the types running San Francisco.

Not to be out done by the 2004 ballet Propostion I was put on the November of 2005 ballet. This proposition would be a non-binding ban to keep recruiters from recruiting on school groundsand denying recruitersaccess to their student directories. This would violate section 9258 of the No Child Left Behind Act. This propostion also passed 59% to 41%.

Last November the school board to San Francisco made two directly opposed decisions concerning their schools.

The first was voting 4-2 to stop RJOTC from being taught at schools. The RHOTC program has been used for the past 90 years. The voted to against because they said they "opposed its connection to the military", which some board members said is "discriminatory, homophobic and at odds with the mission of public education." They were going to hold another vote on it to keep it around. They have yet to bring in another leadership course. There were not enough votes so it was taken off the table.

The second is allowing the schools to us a comic book called "Addicted to War: Why the U.S. Can't Kick Militarism". The comic book shows the "evils" of the U.S. military. Of course it is not mandatory to use, just a tool as the school board puts it. I ask, how long will it be until it is madatory reading?

On the anniversary this year of 9/11 an elite group of Marine wanted to film a recruitment video on the Golden Gate Bridge. The were denied. They were told that no Marine would be filmed on the streets of San Francisco. Stefanie Coyote would only allowthe Marine's production crew to film on California Street if therewere no Marines in the picture.They wound up filming the empty streetand will have to superimpose the Marines later. This is how this city thanks our nations heros?

The next thing this city tried to do was ban the Blue Angels during Fleet Week, a San Francisco tradition since 1981. This brings an estimated $4 million into the city every year. Luckily enough the board of supervisors voted down this proposition spearheaded by Chris Daly.

Difference Between Republicans and Democrats

A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him to come to his business for a job. He then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.

The Democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help. He walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office. He then reached into the Republican's pocket and gave the homeless person fifty dollars.

Now you understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats
