Entitlement Mentality

This post was sent to me and when I read it, I decided to post it to my blog because of the point that it makes. And because I know how some people are with their cloistered minds, I will qualify this for you. I find it amazing that the hateful Left (QUALIFIER: NOT ALL FROM THE LEFT ARE HATEFUL) fill this void among the cloistered few as they speak their hate, their racist ideology, their immorality, and demand others walk the mile with one leg tied as if they were a hostage or terrorist, and they the hateful left somehow think that they are exempt or refuse to be transparent, like our present narcissistic president thinks that he is -- EXEMPT and special.

But when the Right speaks out, they're considered TERRORIST, THREATS to AMERICA or is it that the Democratic Party feels inferior? My research on the political parties shows that the Democratic Party should be placed on the terrorist list and be watched continually.

Now I'm not saying that the Republican Party is so Pious that they are above criticism, because we're not all blind and deaf as the Democratic Party thinks everybody is and should be under their ruling thumbs. Those of the Republican Party are still like the Democrats; POLITICIANS. Can the Republicans be trusted more than Democrats? NO! A politician is a politician. Go back to the Founding Fathers, and one will see that even tho they were great and had the foresight to create a Republic as great as any in the world, they too were PLOITICIANS.

That's why WE the PEOPLE are the government and not the politicians. The politicians are accountable to WE the People and not the other way around. The other way is Socialism or the brain dead brother Communism.

Unfortunately, the Right, when they speak up and it rubs the fur of the Democratic Party the wrong way, the Right just shuts its mouth like a child who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

We the PEOPLE want the Right to speak up when confronted by the adversary. So by now, everybody is saying that I'm a Republican and hate the Democrats. YOU GUESSED WRONG!! I'm not even an Independent. I'm and INDIVIDUAL who holds allegiance to NO party, because MOSTLY ALL politicians are CRIMINALS one way or another. This is evident of our present Administration. Was the past Administration any better? No, they had their faults too, but to hear the Democrats talk, they (the Democrats) are Angels compared to the Republicans.

You see, the Independents have nothing when it comes to politics. It's like they have no leader, foundation, or say one way or the other. Just, "I don't know what I want to be when I grow up".

So let me step aside here and let you read what Rush Limbaugh said, and I agree with what he said 100%. And if you who don't like the way this Right Winger talks and says, it's because you've cloistered your mind. Better put by saying that you have allowed yourself to be brainwashed and not water boarded. With the previous, you voluntarily gave up your right to think, the latter you kept your mind and think for yourself, and you just got wet.

By Rush Limbaugh:

I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11.

Well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country.

If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.?

If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable.

Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get

$833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18.. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.

Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of $1.185 million up to$4.7 million are complainingthat it's not enough.?Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.?

Soldiers put themselves in harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers. (Actually, soldiers are put in harms way by politicians and commanding officers.)

We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the

September 11 families are getting. In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well.

You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country.

It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in low-rent housing.? Make sense?

However, our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to being millionaires plus..

They do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as anE-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed them in harm's way receives a pension of $15,000 per month.

I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting.

My final words:

When do we finally do something about this?  If this doesn't seem fair to you, it is time to tell others about this. Tell it to as many people as you can...

How many people CAN YOU tell this to? How many WILL YOU tell? If you don't tell anybody, why did you bother to read this? Was it to criticize or speak evil of me, someone who's tired of the political crap?
