the rule,take care of your own
family first.then share the rest.when will the u.s./ elect a president and a congress that cares about its own people,maybe we need term limits,i don`t care for them but something has to be done to protect americans from these hubris arrogant obnoxious bastards that get into office,then present themselves as holier then thou,i view most politicians on the same level as pedophiles.enuff rambling peace.

1. But Bush DOES take care of his family, and its corporate sponsors
They treat foreign corporations after their own.

2. Hi cpousnret and welcome
That would not be CPO, USN, Retired would it? Exactly what we need on DU, another retired Chief to maintain decorum.

I appreciate your post. I'm reminded of a statement my democratic congressman, Gene Taylor of South Mississippi said after Hurricane Katrina last year. "We should have a registry for insurance executives similar to the one's we have for sex offenders so we'll know if one is living next door." Maybe we could substitute politicians for insurance executives. My congressman had(has) a blue veiner hardon for those in the insurance industry.

Welcome Aboard Shipmate!

3. It's the law of the sea.
A Captain's first responsibility is to his passengers and crew.

Next is the responsibility to the safety of his craft.

Third is the safety of passengers and crew of other boats around him.

Finally comes the responsibility for the safety of other craft in the area.

4. We need to take care of OUR own.
Instead of "spreading peace and democracy throughout the world...whether they want it or not!" We need to clean our own house.
There's plenty of room for improvement, the gods know...:cry:

If other nations want 'democracy', then they can work it out on their own.
Every nation that has gone the empire-building route has collapsed from within...and it hasn't been pretty.

:rant:
