Notes of the Secret Service!!!

I forward this info from a friend who was actually at Waco, and
knows the true story of what happened there. He worked for the Secret
Service in and around The White House and other locations, knows what he is
talking about, he is retired now, living in Texas ~

Notes of the Secret Service!!!

The elder Bush and current President Bush make it a point to thank
and take care of the air crews who fly them around.

When the president flies, there are several planes that also go.

One carries the armored limo, another the security detail, plus
usually a press aircraft.

Both Bush's made it a point to stay home on holidays, so the Air
Force and security people could have a day with their families.

WHAT WAS:

Hillary Clinton was arrogant and orally abusive to her security
detail.

She forbade her daughter, Chelsea, exchanging pleasantries with
them.

Sometimes, Chelsea, miffed at her mother's obvious conceit and mean
spiritedness, ignored her demands and exchanged pleasantries regardless, but
never in her mother's presence.

Chelsea really was a nice, kindhearted, and lovely young lady.

The consensus opinion was that Chelsea loved her Mom but did not
like her.

Hillary Clinton was continuously rude and abrasive to those who
were charged to protect her life. Her security detail dutifully did their
job, as professionals should, but they all loathed her, and wanted to be on
a different detail. Hillary Clinton was despised by the Secret Service as a
whole.

Former President Bill Clinton was much more amiable than his wife.
Often the Secret Service would cringe at the verbal attacks Hillary would
use against her husband. They were embarrassed for his sake, by the manner
and frequency in which she verbally insulted him, sometimes in the presence
of the Secret Service, and sometimes behind closed doors.

Even behind closed doors, Hillary Clinton would scream and holler
so loudly that everyone could hear what she was saying.

Many felt sorry for President Clinton and most wondered why he
tolerated it instead of just divorcing his "attack dog" wife.

It was crystal clear that the Clinton's neither liked nor respected
each other, and this was true long before the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Theirs was genuinely a "marriage of convenience."

Chelsea was much closer to her father than her mother, even after
the Lewinsky scandal, which hurt her gravely. Bill Clinton did in fact have
charisma, and occasionally would smile at, or shake hands with his security
detail. Still, he always displayed an obvious air of superiority towards
them.

His security detail uniformly believed him to be disingenuous,
false, and that he did nothing without a motive that in some way would
enhance his image and political career.

He was polite, but not kind. They did not particularly like him and
nobody trusted him.

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN:

Al Gore was the male version of Hillary Clinton. They were more
friendly toward each other than either of them were towards former President
Clinton. They were not intimate, so please don't read that in. They were
very close in a political way. Tipper Gore was generally nice and pleasant.
She initially liked Hillary, but soon after the election she had her
"pegged", and no longer liked her, or associated with her, except for events
that were politically obligatory. Al Gore was far more left wing than Bill
Clinton. Al Gore resented Bill Clinton and thought he was too "centrist." He
despised all Republicans. His hatred was bitter, and this was long before he
announced for the Presidency. This hatred was something that he and Hillary
had in common.

They often said as much, even in the presence of their security
detail.

Neither of them trusted Bill Clinton and, the Secret Service
opined, neither of them even liked Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton did have some
good qualities, whereas Al Gore and Hillary had none, in the view of their
security details.

Al Gore, like Hillary, was very rude and arrogant toward his
security detail. He was extremely unappreciative and would not hesitate to
scold them in the presence of their peers for minor details over which they
had no control. Al Gore also looked down on them, as they finally observed
and learned with certainty on one occasion. Al got angry at his offspring
and pointed at his security detail and said, "Do you want to grow up and be
like them?"

Word of this insult by the former Vice-president quickly spread,
and he became as disliked by the Secret Service as Hillary.

Most of them prayed Al Gore would not be elected President, and
they really did have private celebrations in a few of their homes after
President Bush won. This was not necessarily to celebrate President Bush's
election, but to celebrate Al Gore's defeat.

WHAT IS:

Everyone in the Secret Service wants to be on First Lady Laura
Bush's detail. Without exception, they concede that she is perhaps the
nicest, and most kind person they have ever had the privilege of serving.

Where Hillary patently refused to allow her picture to be taken
with her security detail, Laura Bush doesn't even have to be asked, she
offers. She doesn't just shake their hand and say, "Thank you." Very often,
she will give members of her detail a kindhearted hug to express her
appreciation. There is nothing false about her. This is her genuine nature.
Her security detail considers her to be a "breath of fresh air." They joke
that comparing Laura Bush with Hillary Clinton is like comparing "Mother
Teresa" with the "Wicked Witch of the North." Likewise, the Secret Service
considers President Bush to be a gem of a man to work for. He always treats
them with genuine respect, and he always trusts and listens to their expert
advice.

They really like the Crawford, Texas detail. Every time the
president goes to Crawford he has a Bar-B-Q for his security detail, and he
helps serve their meals.

He sits with them, eats with them, and talks with them.

He knows each of them by their first name, and calls them by their
first name as a show of affection.

He always asks about their family, the names of which he always
remembers.

They believe that he is deeply and genuinely appreciative of their
service.

They could not like, love, or respect anyone more than President
Bush.

Most of them did not know they would feel this way, until they had
an opportunity to work for him and learn that his manner was genuine and
consistent.

It has never changed since he began his Presidency.

He always treats them with the utmost respect, kindness, and
compassion.

Please pass this on It is important for Americans to have a true
inside understanding of their President. With all the bad press ... here is
something from the insiders.

F**K the Darn Superbowl

Well as is the norm, there is not enough money apparently in Commercials on the Super Bowl at 2.6 million per minute, now the National Felony League has decided that church parties and possibly parties at your house are illegal. After all they own the broadcast... HOWEVER since they chose to put it on PUBLIC Airwaves to make money, I suggest that all the churches and organizations that planned to have BIG superbowl parties go right ahead and do it.. Tell the National Felony League to go F**k themselves.
If you do not want people to party then why the damn Beer Commercials and Pepsi and Coke Commercials, party mix, Doritos, Cheetos etc..
Get over yourself NFL. PUBLIC Airwaves means that the people who pay for them get to use them. I doubt that the NFL can really get enough people into the field to even think about taking someone to court and what do you think the public reaction to this will be if they take some church to court over a damn Superbowl Party. The darn parties have been part of the Superbowl since the I st Superbowl and it will be no different for Supervowl XVI or is it XXXXI
Any way they are making ENOUGH and we are paying for it in higher consumer prices so tell the NFL to go F##k itself and have your cotton pickin party.
Jim Dicken
OH I hate football and will be watching anything BUT the Superbowl.
F##k Janet Jackson and the whole bunch illiterate immoral bunch at NFL Central.

I love my new Taurus

I just love my new Lexus! It is the first Japanese car that I have purchased since the 1974 260Z.



I bought a new Lexus 350!

However I returned to the dealer yesterday because I couldn't get the radio to work.

The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated: "Nelson," the salesman said to the radio.

The Radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?"

"Willie!" he continued and "On The Road Again" came from the speakers.

Then he said, "Ray Charles!", and in an instant "Georgia On My Mind" replaced Willie Nelson.

I drove away happy. Every time I say, "Beethoven," I get beautiful classical music, and if I say

"Beatles," I get one of their awesome songs.

Today, a couple ran a red light and nearly creamed my new car, but I swerved in time to avoid them. I yelled, "Ass Holes!"

Immediately the French National Anthem began to play, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie Chicks, with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy on scotch.

Damn, I LOVE this car!=============

What Price do our soldiers pay for our Cowardice?

The media is driving the deaths of our soldiers in Iraq.
WHAT? How can I say that?
Ok, I will make this very easy for you. The media was against the war in Iraq from the beginning. Despite the facts depsite the truths they could not see that getting Sadam Hussein out of Iraq was as important as putting Ossama Bin Laden out of business.
The war at one point was basically won. Within days of our invasion, the people of Iraq WERE happy to see us, at least the majority were. Sunni supporters of Sadam were not because they would now again be in the Minority and not have the army to hold the rest of the country at bay.
Still the war was basically won. Then Al Queda shows up. What Al Queda? YES, Al Queda, only they did not show up they were already there. Al Queda was using Iraq as a new training base. 2 bases were found IN IRAQ. The media covered the discovery for about 3.5 minutes then went back to the WMD's we were not finding.. (See previous post about WMD's that WERE found in Iraq.)
At one point the United States had rebuilt Iraq to a point where more people had running water and electricity and phone service than they had had under Sadam for years. Still the press ignored the positives and enhanced the negatives and with each polling point the attacks by Al Queda in Iraq increased. All in an attempt to start a Civil War which Al Queda knew would further decrease American approval numbers for the war.
The Media blitz against the war, the minor losses which we have suffered in the 4 years since the start of the war have been played up as terrible and terrific losses. Al Queda is a more terrible enemy than the Nazi's and we lost 250,000 killed in World War 2. Today we are upset at 3100 deaths. Ossama Bin Laden is right, the United States no longer has the will to win a war. We are not willing to pay the price to defeat this enemy, to insure our freedom and that of our European brothers with one small victory in a country that is central to the Arab Culture.
It is cowardice and it is killing our young men and women. With every point the war loses in popularity, the attacks increase. With every election Al Queda votes for us, by killing more of our young men and women so that we will elect MORE COWARDS, who are unwilling to defeat the Islamic Terrorists.
This is a winnable war.
However, it will not be won as long as the people in this country are not willing to accept some loss of life. We have lost only 3100 people in Iraq. Fewer still in Afghanistan. WAR is HELL for those who fight it. We have a volunteer army willing to fight in this war, but you can not fight if your country is not behind you.
We will fail in Iraq. Islamic Terrorists will begin to dismantle the European countries and in the end, the United States will be isolated from the rest of the world. We can fight now, while these countries do not have the terrible nuclear weapons or we can fight later when the whole planet will be destroyed and willingly so, so that all can meet Allah. These people hate life and crave death so that they can go to heaven.
The next war will be fought with spears and arrows.
