You are simply in denial like the idiot we have in the White House. I will not waste any more of my time on idiots like you!

(chuckle!)

Idiots? The only idiot I see here is the AUTHOR of the blog!

You're right, Col! I died 14 years ago in Chicago! AGAIN, would you PLEASE inform the SSA?

See, there's a difference between you and me, Col. I've LOVED on paltry wages. I am FAR MORE of an authority in this area than you will EVER be! I've WORKED in homeless shelters. I TALK to the homeless, I don't just drive by them in my car with the windows rolled up, saying "someone ought to do something".

Your entire purpose here is to sell your books, Col. Not to make any kind of real, meaningful change. To sell books. I am selling nothing. Only relating a lifetime of experience and study. If you're going to be a capitalist pig, Col, at least be honest about it!

“Your entire purpose here is to sell your books, Col. Not to make any kind of real, meaningful change. To sell books. I am selling nothing. Only relating a lifetime of experience and study. If you're going to be a capitalist pig, Col, at least be honest about it!”

All you do is spew meaningless dribble. The sad thing in that what I have said in this Blog is the truth. What we are doing is using up that which our parents and grand parents provided us and what we will leave our children and grandchildren will be nothing. That is because of the total lack of real leadership and vision for the future. If we do not alter our ways the future will look back on us we did on Rome.

no they are lies/some half truths but half truths are lies too




this country has always operated in the red.

the difference is that before world war 2 we didn't have an income tax except maybe during the civil war. i am not sure on that one.

the more money the government has the more they spend.



unfortunately all countries die. we just happen to be the oldest republic.

BS, COL. I have a book of Grimm's fairy tales I read my children. Your blog is no more true than any one of those!



DRIVEL!

“no they are lies/some half truths but half truths are lies too” YOU ARE A LIER!

Any who deny the condition of our infrastructure are IDIOTS that deserve no attention. The Civil Engineers have concluded what I have said is true. 70,000 Bridges, 3,500 dams and the condition of our water systems is D-. Sewer systems are over 100m years old and the electric grids have failed. How people can ignore the most basic facts is astounding. Just keep kidding yourselves. That will NOT change the consequences as these systems fail.

I can see with people like are on this Blog site how we elected the useless idiot that is that occupies the White House. You and those that support him deserve one other. GOD help our country!

That is the world in which you live!

i haven't seen anyone deny the condition of our infrastructure. what i have seen is that most people rightfully do not blame this on one man who has only been in office for 6 years. when the problem has been known for at least 17 years. and the man whose boots you lick supposedly stood to help the people. and did nothing about the infrastructure. in fact when he was in office we had rolling black outs in california. he did nothing to help.

Actually ColGene, you are right about the crumbling infrastructure, just howlingly myopic about the cause.

First of all you flaming A**. I do not lick Anyone’s BOOTS! The Idiot you support is directly responsible for the death of 3,600 of our military. He has caused another 26,000 injuries and spent 1 Trillion Dollars on an unneeded and unjust war. He has placed our troops in a no win situation in the middle of a Civil War. He has failed to meet ANY of the challenges that face this country and is an arrogant ill-informed perm Dona that got to where is his because of the influence of his family and idiots like you.

blah blah blah

Col, this has nothing to do with who we do or don't support. You accuse so many people of changing the subject or avoiding topic but you dance around the same bush (pun intended). People can't even have intelligent conversations with you because you behave in a manner that only you can be right. There is little to no bend with you. You say we are sad because we support Bush (implying as if we are lemmings). We might as well be talking to a wall as a result.

And you come across so very mature telling others that they spew dribble and other name calling rhetoric.

"Try" to wrap your mind around this klink. The federal government has NOTHING to do with the upkeep/maintenence of the water/sewer OR the electrical grid. 5 years ago when CA was having such a problem with their grid, who fixed it? The federal government? NO, CALIFORNIA FIXED IT BY ITSELF!!! The ONLY thing the Feds responsible for is "certain" dams. If it was built by the feds then they are responsible for fixing it. "If" it was built by the state...then it's the STATES problem.

And just "what" in he** does this have to do with a "supposedly" crumbling infrastructure?

BS! I can and DO exist on 30k AND I live in PA. AND I own a home.

Again I call BS! the infrastructure was crumbing for a lot more years than the 7 years GW has been in office. Care to coment further
?

The comments made about what I post attempt to change the topic whenever they can not answer what is posted.

That is CORRECT. But because of Bush and his fiscal policy, we have $4 Trillion LESS available to pay for those things. In addition, we must pay an additional $200 Billion in interest EVERY year which takes money away in the future to pay for our needs!!!!! That is what Bush had done wrong!

CAN NOT EXIST on 25-30K and that is what many of the great new jobs Bush brags about are paying.


BS! I can and DO exist on 30k AND I live in PA. AND I own a home.

Good you you. I do not know where in Pa you live but that would not work where I live!

Water/Sewer systems, Electrical Grid-- GET THE PICTURE!

GET YOUR SMALL MIND ARROUND THIS- When these systems fail and people have no alternatives, guess who will be forced to pay the bills. The magnitude of the needed repairs is so great that the States alone simply do not have the tax revenue to do the repairs. The repairs are not being done. That will not stop these things from failing.

This quite simply is a disgrace, you should be ashamed of yourself Abel. I am staggerd that any ex officer - even though it was only four years in the regular Army - can lower themselves to the gutter with conduct that is beyond contempt. To then put to shame the excellent people currently serving in the Reserve Forces, just about tops it all.

And that is just from one page. We all get heated from time to time, but this - its on a different Planet. Its hardly surprising the Publishing Majors wouldnt touch it, and you had to use a Self Publisher - and sure as hell this abysmal conduct will not be doing it any good. You maybe beyond Military Discipline now, but you are not beyond the Contempt of your Peers in the Services - People who still know how to conduct themselves as members of the Human Race, and not live in the Gutter.

Abel, you are a disgrace to the Uniform you once wore.

That is a pure lie right there, and you know it.

How many people here in Central Florida, a service industry leader live just fine making that and less?  I can tell you from experience it's many.  It doesn't matter regardless, if what you are making isn't enough, then take it upon yourself to better your situation instead of complaining about Bush or the federal government.





Still waiting......

I do not know who you think you are but I do not need nor desire your acceptance of me or my military service. My service stands for itself. As to the descriptions I used for the BS that spews out of some on this Blog site, they accurately describe them and their statements.

My book has received many positive comments including the following review:

George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich by Gene P. Abel, Colonel, USAR Ret. (over 30 years of service as a commissioned officer, and two-time recipient of the Meritorious Service Medal) severely questions the immediate and long-term effects to America that the Bush administration is responsible for. Sharply critical, George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich decries the administration's narrow-minded attempts to partially privatize Social Security without providing any transition fund for the interim monies that would be lost; the administration's alienation of its foreign allies in the years after the September 11 attacks due its blind press for war in Iraq; and the administration's utter failure to balance the budget or prevent an explosion of the national deficit. At the same time, George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich is not universally negative; it notes the wise actions that President Bush has taken, but laments that the harmful actions may well outweigh the good in the president's legacy for the 21st century. Drawing information from more than 40 renowned sources, and including humorous Blogs to convey points with a twist, George W. Bush Robin Hood For The Rich not only identifies potential current and future problems stemming from the Bush administration but also offers recommendations for alternatives to cope with their personal impact on individual lives. Highly recommended.

I suggest you direct your condemnation of me and my military services to the Commander-in-Chief. Let’s review a few things.

First How Bush got his commission- Did he earn it or was it handed to him by the powerful contacts of his father.

Second- Why did Mr. Bush seek a commission in the National Guard? To stay out of Vietnam.

Third how did Mr. Bush fulfill the obligations he swore to uphold—Follow Orders and regulations and serve where assigned? He did not fulfill those obligations when he failed to attend drills in Texas as he was ordered. He did not fulfill those obligations when he refused to obey Air Force Regulations to take a REQUIRED Flight Physical which resulted in him being grounded and unable to perform the function for which he was trained. What member of the military picks and chooses the orders and regulations they will obey. That is just what Lt. Bush did.

Fourth when an officer does not obey regulations and orders they are nor rewarded with an early HONORABLE discharge, they are punished. Not Lt. Bush. Daddy’s contacts took care of that for him. That I have directly from a conversation GWB had with his economics Professor at Harvard when he was asked how he got out of the National Guard early.

Now let’s move forward and see how President Bush acted as Commander-in-Chief. He cherry picked and mislead this country into a preemptive war against an enemy that posed no danger to the U.S. He sent young men and women to their death without justification in Iraq. He has overcommitted the American Military and has all but destroyed the National Guard, Army Reserve, Marines and Active Army by over committing the force. He sent them into a situation of HIS making and now they are bogged down in a Civil War with no end in sight. He disregarded the senior military leadership and did not send the troop levels NEEDED to establish and maintain control in Iraq after Saddam was removed from power. That has resulted in MOST of the dead and injured in Iraq and is responsible for foreign terrorists being able to operate in Iraq where that had not operated in Iraq before our invasion. He allowed 1,300 years of hate and ill will among the factions in Iraq to boil over while our troops, because of a lack of manpower, become embroiled in a Civil War.

If you want to express some justified distain put it where it belongs with George W. Bush. My use of some colorful languages in response to some outrageous comments made by people on this Blog site does not detract from my 30 yeas of service during which I obeyed my orders and fulfilled the responsibilities I accepted when I was Commissioned. Your outrage is misplaces and totally unjustified. Although you are entitled to your opinion the one you expressed about me and my military service is inaccurate, in ill-informed and unjustified.

Go rant about what George W. Bush has and is doing to our brave military

Dont bother Abel, you know perfectly well what I am referring to, or you should after an alledged 30 years in uniform, 26 years of that in the Reserve Forces. That you can sit there and justify this abysmal conduct and still even remotely try to call yourself an Officer beggars belief. No, nothing can justify it, of that you are well aware.

"As to the descriptions I used for the BS that spews out of some on this Blog site, they accurately describe them and their statements"

I dont intend to play ping-pong with comments, the facts speak for themselves. You've disgraced yourself enough in Public, and your credibility has disappeared amongst the Vitriol you are handing out to those who dare disagree. An Officer? No, you know perfectly well that conduct is wholey unacceptable - and with that fact you lost the right to be called an Officer, or even an ex Officer.

Fill your boots in response, because it will be the only direct opportunity you get. The facts speak for themselves, there will be no further responses from me, so help yourself. I hope one day you remember the standards you signed up to at one time, but I am not holding my breath.

You know NOTHING of what you speak. As to the language I used I suggest you look at history and see the language used by officers through our history. I suppose you also condemn Patton for his colorful language and many other military officers. As I said if you want to place your indignation at a place where it belongs, direct it toward the President. No one died because of what I did or failed to do. I earned my promotions and numerous awards. You like so many on this Blog site do not know what they are talking about!

If you served in the military, I would guess you may have been an E-3 if that.
