Draki how old are you? My graduation we faced that way - 22 years ago.
That was the golden age. Speaker was VP George H. W. Bush. President Reagan had given his "farewell speech" out on the Plain that spring. They activated a reserve Engineer unit to turn the plain around, putting the reviewing stands in front of Washington Hall.

"On Thursday, the Senate passed historic Wall Street reform. This movement proved again that the strongest special interests, who for so long have called the shots in Washington, can be beat."
"But this fight is not yet over. And it is up to us to overcome this final test and pass reform into law. When we do, the power of this movement to make change in Washington -- despite the best efforts of the special interests -- will no longer be up for debate."
Two snippets from a friend who received the email....
In the middle of the letter he asks for his "just $5.00 and you can click on the link and donate"
What I'm curious about, though is did they pass the bill the way he is intimating they did?

Wow, 7 kids you must be in the poor house paying for tuition.
I have a friend who graduated as an engineer too.....
There aren't any jobs and the already laid off engineers with years of experience are getting any that do pop up. The government is hiring though, but not engineers, the people who majored in international affairs and the like are getting those jobs.
Heard on the radio that some WS guy thinks the next bubble to burst is the government. then last night, Batchelor had on the guy who wrote the black swan book. It is worth listening to. He was in the last hour of the night. He said he went to a meeting at the WH, a big meeting with the three muskateers of finance there and everyone waiting to see BO. He said he stayed exactly one hour, never saw the prez, started to have back pain and realized his body was manifesting his discomfort. He basically said it was his belief that they had no idea what they were facing and could not even identify the problem. He said he tried to get them to see the problem and they couldn't and they still don't see the problem. He said he left there and went into seclusion for a year to add two chapters to his book and republish the book and to try and figure out how to get out of this mess. He sounded like such a sincere man. the way he spoke, if he is correct, it would require a complete change in the way we view things and he wasn't sure we could do it. Not the American people, the government and the government people, they are the ones he was worried about. You really should listen, it's very eye opening.

Let's stop being mealy-mouthed.
The problem is exactly the American people. They willingly voted in a political class that literally has destroyed the nation's 230 year-old constitution. No one stuck a gun to their heads in free elections.

Don't assume new immigrants will automatically vote democratic.
Not all of them...just the great majority of them. Most of our immigrants are Mexican, right? They are not exactly conservative with their politics, especially after they get a taste of American entitlements.

I think it depends on where the "new immigrants" are from.
If they are predominantly from cultures that have acquired a socialist mindset (like lower socio-economic classes from Mexico and Central America) then you can be pretty well assured that they will vote almost exclusively Democrat for as many generations as it is economically beneficial to them. If they remain a permanent underclass, and get contaminated with an Anti-American grievance mentality, then they and their antecedents will vote Left forever until the money runs out.

At some point, we have to stop blaming the media. The information is out there because we all found it. Everyone knew about the Wright church. Everyone knew his experience, his lack of a record. They were swayed by speeches and the guy's race.
I, though it may be racist to some, think he is Prez because he's a black guy that could read well. Whomever was the Democrat was going to win, but THIS GUY?

US lifts sanctions against Russians linked to Iran
The Obama administration on Friday removed sanctions against three Russian organizations the U.S. had previously accused of assisting Iran's effort to develop nuclear weapons. Penalties against a fourth Russian entity previously accused of illicit arms sales to Syria also were lifted. The timing of the decisions, published in Friday's Federal Register but not otherwise announced by the State Department, suggested the possibility of a link to U.S. efforts to win Russian support for a new U.N. Security Council resolution expanding sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.

It was a chilly, overcast, drizzly day which kept the AF Thunderbirds from doing their traditional airshow to salute the new Lt.s, but Bush stayed there for the whole thing. In addition, he offered high-fives, low-fives, chest bumps, cellphone "hello's" to Mom and Dad in the audience, and warm embraces to each new Lieutenant. One guy even asked Bush for the American flag pin off his lapel--and imagine this--Bush gave it to him. As an AF veteran myself, I simply cannot imagine a prize of this magnitude.
I've got a list of differences a mile long with the Bush domestic agenda, but as far as his pursuit of the war we still are very much involved in, and his love for his troops, I will love the man forever.
I do try not to be cynical, but I just don't think Zero has that level of love in him.

Well, he did return the bust of Churchill before he'd barely settled into the Oval. There was a guy on Beck awhile back who has visited the WH under Barry, and said every.single.wall is lined with photos of The One. And there's a staffer whose job is to change them out every week. So I don't know about Barky's taste in art, but he does truly seem to enjoy looking at his own image every where he turns.

Michelle made a graduation speech last weekend. It was not political except for the fact that she urged the graduates to bring America and her goodness all over the world. She also made them nervous by telling them everything they have lived through in their lives thus far and saying essentially that they have the responsibility of saving the country and the world. Since 99% of teh grads who got BA's and BS's have no jobs and the Masters and phd's were worried about theirs...these kids felt the pressure. I know cause they are talking about it.

"The people" are pretty fucking stupid and easily manipulated, in my opinion.
I dunno, I'm getting kind of tired of public policy being dictated by the whims of ignorant assholes who make it onto a Jaywalking segment of the Tonight Show.
P.S. The Youtube clip I linked of Jaywalking is worth watching to the end. 3 generations of one family and only Grandpa can answer basic fucking questions. Schools were clearly much better back in the day.

#76 clearly doesn't have even a marginal understanding of duty, honor, and country.
In so many ways, the decorum of these cadets in light of the current President speaks volumes about their character, which distances themselves from so many others.

The drug-cartels have taken to patrolling a lake on the border between Texas and Mexico. It's gotten so bad that people will not cross into the Mexican side of the lake to fish because of the threat of violence. Several people have been robbed at gunpoint already.
Here's a news report.

Ground Zero Mosque Plans Might be Derailed
The plan to build a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero may have hit a snag, due to an over 20-year pending landmark status.
The American Society for Muslim Advancement purchased the 152-year-old building at 45 Park Place last year for $4.8 million. Their controversial plan to tear down the building and construct a 13-story mosque and community center has had many critics who feel it's disrespectful to those lost during the September 11th attacks.
A 1989 decision by the Landmarks Commission to propose the landmark status of the building may now prevent the building from being razed and the $100 million mosque from being constructed.

he says:
"“See our government wants to castigate us as the enemy. Our President went down and said that the problem is here in the United States of America. Well, you know, let’s face it. Wherever he goes he’s going to apologize for this country. I can’t stand the guy. I absolutely can’t stand him.”

One of my former employees' oldest son graduated from West Point in 2002- the bicentennial class.
GWB spoke at the commencement, and shook the hand of every Cadet as they received their diplomas and bars. He told my employee's son as he shook his hand "I couldn't do what you have done."

Jim, I called the 800# within the link you proided, about the Sonoran travel ad that shows a sniper type person saying they are looking for people from Arizona.
The man who answered there claimed they only printing the top half on an ad? Apparently, that was the only lie he could come up with, and said he had rec'd about 160 calls about it.
I encourage further calls.

True. I'm sure the Washington Post has an open invitation out to Carrot Crist and Grayson from Kentucky.
I guess in his thinking, Obama is a shoo in for reelection because the people of Utah had a temper tantrum and dared to throw him out.

If my understanding of the Texas Statute is correct, these jerks presented a clear and present danger to the occupants of the home. If so, defense of the property was in order, and if it required a few gut shots to "back 'um down" then praise Texas, Daniel Boone, the Texas Rangers, and the average every-day pickup drivin' good-ole-boy who don't cotton to a bunch 'o nonsense, especially from funny lookin' fucks.

LTG Bill Lennox, the Supe at USMA at the time, was a real class act, at least as far as I was concerned. When he got up on the stage to give his comments to the graduating class ('04), his first words were "it's a great day to be a soldier."

Doc -
They have changed up the curriculum - heavens, things change! I was class 60-S-89 and after graduating Ordnance OBC at Redstone, I went to Eglin for the the operator's course - mostly demo, recon, chemicals, digging and rigging. Then to the Head for the EOD course - ground, air, IED's, and nukes.
Then another 3 weeks at Redstone for an additional Army piece - went to the FBI IED school (not enrolled in the course just some training and how to work with the LEOs on IED incidents), and some extra work on Army special ordnance and chem stuff.
Sounds like maybe you are doing the recon,chemical, and rigging and digging at Redstone, and then actual EOD stuff and demo at Eglin?
