I saw this picture and immediately asked myself: Since Scott Brown won the Massachusetts' Senate seat; do you think Teddy has purchased a snow blower for his new place yet?
This is from my Bud Sean in Texas:
I attend a luncheon every Wednesday where vendors like myself buy lunch for a large group of engineers from some of the local companies. More and more the luncheon is becoming more like a "soup kitchen" as the out of work engineers come in to have a free lunch and look for news of companies hiring. Afterwards I was sitting and talking with a select group of people which consisted of an engineer who immigrated to the US from Lebanon in the late 50's (OSU Grad), a salesman who was an infantry officer in Vietnam and my partner who was a Marine.
The immigrant made the statement that he had never seen America this down since the 70's and he thought it was worse in many ways today because it looks like most people had lost the will to fight. He is convinced that Obama is a socialist and is making policy decisions with the intent of wearing down the American spirit to the point that they will accept anything the government has to offer.
The former infantry officer spoke about his time in leadership school with the military back in the late 50's/early 60's, when they were taught about the future projections of US and USSR systems. According to him his military instructors actually taught that as time moved forward the students would see the US move towards Communism and the USSR move towards democracy, the reason for both was the power and greed concentrated in the hands of the political elite. For the citizens of the USSR you would see the people rebel against the government due to the years of corruption that pushed the people down so the government could maintain control. For the US the move towards Communism would be due to the political elite trying to maintain the power and money that comes with being in the Congress, corruption and greed would cause our elected representatives to pass laws and regulations that would empower the government over the people.
Interesting conversations with these gentlemen.
