Troops Coming Home….And Stuff

Posted by Pete | Posted in News | Posted on 23-06-2011

President says he is bringing 33,000 troops home….That is good….Waiting until 2012 to reach that number sounds bad to me, but on the other hand if a troop shortage jeopardizes the remaining troops then we should wait.I mean that we want to have enough there to watch each others back… I think the military commanders will have a better feel than such as I about that. I want them all safe, no matter where they are…The safest place on earth Right now is America in my opinion. I am sure our boys and girls on the battle field would share that opinion. And home is where they need to be as quickly as possible.

A whole bunch of folks besides me were upset with NBC leaving, One nation, under God out of   our pledge last Sunday. Why do some folks have such a problem with using or even saying God or Jesus in public. Do they think our lives end with death? Hey, that’s just the beginning.Read the bible or Heaven is For Real, word from a four year old about heaven. It is for real and each of us will go to one of two destinations…I choose heaven. I think most of you do as well….Can I get a big Amen?….

National Treasury Stuff….Can we pass the plate for the Federal Government? We may have to…We’re broke, with a lousy credit rating and head over heels in debt, but most of us want the treasury to keep the money flowing. Soooo, in that effort, the flowing money I mean, we need to pass the plate, take up a collection and send some of it back to the Feds. That’s about the only way I can see out of this mess we are in…..Democrats say raise taxes, Republicans say cut spending and they are both sittings on their big fat tushes and doing nothing to resolve the issue…Go ahead and put me down for the first dollar and I might can do a little better if it really gets to be crunch time….

Post Office closing small offices in New Mexico stuff….The post office needs to save some money and want to close small post offices around New Mexico. I remember our little store in Coal Fire, Alabama serving as the post office. The rural carrier would drop off and pick up mail at this store and I don’t think the store owner was reimbursed for that service. It did bring in a few more customers on a daily basis. Could that work again and here in New Mexico? I guess only if the small store owners would be willing to spend the time doing it, huh? In today’s climate there are a lot of liabilities to consider I guess…Oh well, just a thought….

Amen!!!

Thanks, Uncle

It brought in a few more customers, like me, who had no money. I enjoyed watching the mail carrier come and go. He was about our only contact with the outside world. Remember the days before the internet and even TV (at least one or two chennel TV)! At least, half of the news was the anticipation of it. Now the news is over before the event, and no one understands what has happened. Take the Casey Anthony trial in Florida.
