Maybe not, but they can keep Americans from building a house if there's
a GD **fly** for gawds sake that's "endangered" located on their land.

What the h_ll is this gov't doing for me? Controlling our borders? Ha -
that's laughable. Protecting our national security? Another joke - how
about allowing millionaires to line their pockets with the money of our
enemies and allowing spies to pass info to 'favored' allies - read
'those who contributed to the campaign.' Protecting American's jobs?
Are you kidding? There are no viable programs for training or cross
training Americans as thechnology forces change. No, the government just
raises and raises the limits on foriegn high-tech workers who are
basically indentured servants who work for less than American engineers,
so the millionaire company owners just **love** to hire them. (And don't
forget the flood of illegals from our Southern border who provide cheap
labor to the agricultural industry.) Giving me equal rights? Bull.
Affirmative action makes being a white male low man on the totem pole.
And now, that corrupt b_st_rd, Bill Gates is joining in by giving a
Billion Dollars to the UNCF with a "whites need not apply" college
program. Why? Anyone think he gives a sh_t about whether blacks and
Latinos graduate college? Can you say Federal Court? Anyone noticed
that the nefarious liar has suddenly opened his pockets since he's
losing his monopoly case? Anyone think this is to curry favor with the
gov't? Giving a billion to the gov'ts' favorite charity - minorities?
Protecting America's future for my children and yours? No way. The rush
is on to equalize the world, starting with lowering our standard of
living. Anybody else out there with both husband and wife working, else
you go hungry? Having an equal tax system? Sh_t, there are some people
and companies ***mentioned by name*** in the tax code who are excluded
from paying taxes. Married? Hey, you pay more taxes in our family
oriented nation. Protecting our freedom of speech? Well, that's about
the only thing they consistently do - especially if you're a
smut-peddling scumbag, or a rock band whose major lyric is f_ck. Yeah,
I'm sure this is what the framers had in mind. All this is spoken by
someone who at one time thought this land was worth defending and served
in the USAF during the Vietnam era. What a fool, huh?

This is a grotesque statement. Without the military, where the h_ll
would we be now? The military is one arm of government which continues
to function reasonably well in it's mission - to keep the Huns from our
shores. And this despite the idotic naive rent-a-mob types who continue
to protest the existence of the machine which has PROVIDED THEM WITH THE
ABILITY TO PROTEST. And despite the efforts of the lying SOB who runs
this country. The man who "loathes the military." Has anyone noticed
that this left-wing peacenik has used the military unilaterally more
often to kill more people and with less provocation and FAR less success
than any of his "war-monging" Republican predecessors?

Sorry, Jan, I gotta suggest you take your own advice.
