So It's Not Really Bankruptcy?

When you file for bankruptcy, you don't get money from the government. At least my parents didn't when they had to a number of years ago. If you're getting $8 billion in our tax dollars, it's not bankruptcy. It's just another bailout. And if they're getting our money, shouldn't WE be the owners of these companies instead of the government?

As part of the deal, Chrysler is signing a partnership with the Italian company Fiat. The government will be an investor in the revamped Chrysler and will help choose its new directors, but the Obama administration does not plan to help manage the company.

Doesn't plan to help manage the company? What the hell does he think choosing the directors of the company is? Dear God, can't you make 2012 get here any sooner so we can vote him out of office?

This Week's Post Was Suggested & Written By Mary Ann

Sgt. Kenneth G. Ross
24 years old from Tucson, Arizona
7th Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment
September 25, 2005


"He believed in serving his country," said Ross' father, David C. Ross. Gary Anderson, Ross' best friend and an Army infantry veteran who served nine months in Afghanistan and 11 months in Iraq during his active duty stint, was a classmate of Ross at Marana's Mountain View High School. "You know, I heard this news of Ken and I broke down and cried hysterically," said Anderson, now a firefighter for the Ak-Chin Indian Community in Maricopa. "He loved everyone; everyone who came in contact with him loved him. He'd always help everyone out that he could."

A 1999 graduate of Mountain View, Ross played drums in the marching band and orchestra, his father said. Ross enlisted in the Army right after graduation. "He just wanted to take part in history," Anderson said.

At the time of his death, he was a helicopter mechanic — acting as a door gunner on his last mission, his father said. SSgt. Ross was killed when his helicopter went down southwest of Deh Chopan, Afghanistan. Also killed in the crash were Sgt. Shawn A. Graham, Warrent Officer Adrian B. Stump, Sgt. Tane T. Baum, Chief Warrent Officer 2 John M. Flynn and Sgt. Patrick D. Stewart.

Along with his father, SSgt. Ross is survived by his mother, Mary Ross, 57, and his sister, Stephanie Ross, 30. "I know his last thoughts were for everybody else and not for himself," Anderson said. "I know he wanted to make sure everybody was safe and would go home."

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Hillary In Iraq

So our new Secretary Of State traveled to Iraq for her first official trip. Did she meet with the servicemen and women while there? Remember what happened last time.

Buy A Ford

Not only because they're better than GM, but because they seem to be able to stay afloat without the government's bailout money. And they're doing it by being smart. Don't spend more than you can afford. Weird concept, I know. But this does make one wonder something. Why hasn't the government forced auto manufactures to take federal bailout money, whether the need it or not, like they did the banks? You'd think they'd want to control them as well.

Did She Or Didn't She?

I think NanPel is trying to cover her ass. The Obama administration wants to go after these horrible, horrible people who approved "torture" so now she knew nothing about it.

I Thought "Torture" Didn't Work

Not so says National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair.

The Obama administration's top intelligence official privately told employees last week that "high value information" was obtained in interrogations that included harsh techniques approved by former President George W. Bush.

"A deeper understanding of the al-Qaida network" resulted

Then we have this from CNS. If you want real torture, look back to the Battan Death March and what happened there. Waterboarding is not torture. The three people who were waterboared weren't injured. They weren't starved of food or water. And they didn't die. And I don't care what John McCain says, I don't care what Obama or Bush or you or anyone else says. I do not believe it is torture and I want it, and any other tactic short of death, used anytime it is deemed necessary to save innocent lives. Because I would rather this country lose it's morality, as Obama claims, than for innocent people to be hurt or killed. And for Obama to leave the door open for people who protect us to be prosecuted shows he cares more about pubic perception and the views of the hard Left than doing what's right.
