Compensations - Rush has this right! ... Thx Paul C!
Subject: IF YOU READ AND FORWARD ONLY 1 E-MAIL, MAKE IT THIS ONE

Nailed This One~
Love him
or loathe him, he nailed this one right on the
head..........
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 complaining
that 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
an
E-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.
"When do
we finally do something about this?" If this doesn't seem
fair to you, it is time to forward this to as many people
as you can. How many people
CAN YOU
send this
to? ****************************
How
manyWILL
YOU???

Remember when Barack Hussien Obama said to small business owners,
"You didn't build that."
Well, this guy tells him otherwise.

Improptu Mormon Tabernacle Choir for young brain cancer patient in TN ... Thx Ramey H!
 Emotional Impromptu Concert
Had to share this... good people do exist even if they don't make the front page of the news. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir was on tour in Memphis , Tennessee. At St. Jude's Children’s Hospital there was a little girl who had been admitted with an aggressive form of brain cancer. Her chemo treatments prohibited her from being in crowds and so, with great disappointment, she learned she could not attend the Mormon Choir's final Memphis concert. But, a hospital nurse sent a request that perhaps a few of the choir members could meet the young girl at the hotel she and her family were staying. She knew this would raise the little girl's spirits. When the girl and her family walked into their hotel lobby click below to see what happened.

We "corrected most of the wrong things throughout our twentieth century of "Change" Kids just don't buy! Thx Judi C!
A worthwhile repeat.
Subject: TO THOSE BORN 1925 - 1970: WE ARE AWESOMENo matter what our kids And the new generation think about us,WE ARE AWESOME !!! OUR Lives are LIVING PROOF !!!To Those of Us Born 1925 - 1970 :~~~~~~~~
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1930s, '40s, '50s,'60s and '70s!!
First, we survived Being born to mothers who may have smoked and/or drank While they were Pregnant. They took aspirin, Ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then, after that Trauma, we were Put to sleep On our tummies In baby cribs Covered With bright colored Lead-based paints.
We had no Childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors orcabinets,And, when we Rode our bikes, We had baseball Caps, Not helmets, on Our heads.
As infants and Children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, No air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes..
Riding in the Back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water From the garden hose and not from a bottle. We shared one Soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, White bread, real butter, and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And we weren't overweight. WHY? Because we were Always outside playing...that's why!
We would leave Home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights Came on.
No one was Able to reach us all day.--And, we were OKAY.
We would spend Hours building Our go-carts out Of scraps And then ride Them down the hill, Only to find Out we forgot the brakes.. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned To solve the problem..
We did not Have Play Stations, Nintendos and X-boxes. There were No video games, No 150 channels on cable, No video movies Or DVDs, No surround-sound or CDs, No cell phones, No personal computers, No Internet and No chat rooms. WE HAD FRIENDS And we went Outside and found them!
We fell out Of trees, got cut, Broke bones and Teeth, And there were No lawsuits From those accidents.
We would get Spankings with wooden spoons, switches, ping-pong paddles, or just a bare hand, And no one would call child services to report abuse.
We ate worms, And mud pies Made from dirt, And The worms did Not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, 22 rifles for our 12th, rode horses,made up games with sticks and tennis balls, and - although we were Told it would happen- we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes Or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just Walked in and talked to them.
Little League had Tryouts And not everyone Made the team. Those who didn't Had to learn To deal withDisappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing Us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have Produced some of the best risk-takers, Problem solvers, and Inventors ever.
The past 50 To 85 years have seen an explosion of innovation and new ideas.. We had freedom, Failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are One of those born Between 1925-1970, CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want To share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good. While you are at it, forward it to your kids, so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ? ~~~~~~~
The quote of the month by Jay Leno: "With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?" For those that prefer to think that God is not in control...go ahead and delete this. For the rest of us..... please pass this on.
