Some of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer (CA) as she admonished a brigadier general because he addressed her as "ma'am" and not "Senator" before a Senate hearing. This letter is from a National Guard aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines. I wonder what he would have said if he were really angry. Long fly Alaska !!!!!
Dear Senator Boxer,
You were so right on when you scolded the General on TV for using the term "ma'am," instead of "Senator." After all, in the military, "ma'am" is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position.
The general was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or position. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many) will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order continually to be re-elected. Many democrats even disregard the probability of our American troops being killed by the releasing of photographs..
How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"? None? One? Two?
Your reaction to the General shows several things. First is your abysmal ignorance of all things military.. Your treatment of the General shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind. When the General entered the military, as did most of us who served, he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your derrière now safely and comfortably ensconced in a $20,000 leather chair, paid for by the General's taxes.
You repaid him for this by your pathetic attempt at humiliating him in front of millions.
Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication and an arrogance which borders on the hubristic. This display of bratty behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated masses who have made California into the laughing stock of the nation.
What I am writing to you, Senator, are the thoughts countless millions of Americans have about Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to convey them. Under the democrats, some don't even have the 44 cents to buy the stamp. Regardless of their thoughts, happily for you, most accept that politicians are all pretty much the same and will vote for the one who will bring home the most bacon, even if they are aware just how corrupt that person is.
Lord Acton (1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely." Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, Mr. Power has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it.
Finally Senator, I, too, have a title. It is "Right Wing Extremist Potential Terrorist Threat." It is not of my choosing but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano.
And you were offended by "ma'am"...?
Have a good day. Cheers!
