Text of the page (random words):
more fun the higher ups decide to make a competition out of it the only bad thing is the unit that was putting this thing on also had 4 teams involved so can you guess who one hint it was one of th units that put this all togerther in fact all 4 teams were in the top six they would have been 1 4 but the 1st squad from my unit finsished 3rd so thatdidn t happen the team i lead 3rd squad finished 8th even thought on the last day my squad 1st squad and the winner were each battling for first for 20 plus hours and some how i finished 8th seems fishy to me anyways so while doing this we had some good fun and got to see some of the infamous california fires while out there well to make this trip even more fun prior to leaving for california the wife my daughter and i went to san antinio tx and met up with my mom sister and brother in law to surprise my daughter for her birthday we went to sea world and six flags over the july 4th weekend daughter s bday is july 5th so we had a good time doing that well that was short lived when we got home we got a notice from the bankruptcy court in california that the owner s of the house we were renting had filed for banruptcy and the house was included in it so we were under the threat of being evicted once the back got the house so this lead to a time crunch to find a new house to rent and prepare to move once i got home from california luckly we found one really quick so that was taken care of before i left the bad thing was we were moving 2 days after i got home from 3 weeks in califonia so that really sucked luckily my wife being the genius that she is hired some movers to help with all the big and heavy items so that saved my back and knees so the move went off with out a hitch thank goodness well while in california i received a call from the siloam springs ar poilce department they decided to move my hire date up to the 1st of sept instead of the 1st of oct so that brightened my trip big time for those that might not know i took a test anf interviewed with them back in june then they did my background check short there after i then recieved a letter offering me a job at a later date so i knew i had the job but i didn t have a stat date untill i got the call so needless to say i am happy that i am leaving the crappy job that i have now which i only have sue to being laid off from the job that i loved back in april damn economy and now i am going to a profession that i have been wanting to be part of for the last 8 years and i am finally going to fullfill a dream so that ends the update i am hoping to get some more posts on the elections and events going on around the world soon so keep an eye out for them august 20 2008 posted by sappercookie uncategorized dream job police update leave a comment change we can believe in obama changing his mind ok so here lately there has been a lot a folks accusing barrack hussein obama of flip flopping on a wide range of issues since winning the dem nom well i would have to agree with them but the one issue that affects me the most and makes me cringe to think he might be in charge is iraq for those of you who don t know i have been in the army for over 11 years in fact i just re enlisted for 6 more years with that re enlistment i have all but secured my spot to go back to iraq that s right go back i was in fallujah iraq in 2003 2004 i was attached to the 3rd id 3rd acr and the 82nd airborne during my time there i have seen my fair share of ied s while in country being as my unit were one of the first ied hunters in country in fact we pretty much wrote the doctrine that is being used now at this very minute anyways because of my time there and the fact that at some point in the next 6 years i will most likely be back at least once if not twice so with this prospect the idea that barrack hussein obama might be the commander in chief scares the living s out of me this is a man who 1 has no experience to fall back on to be the president besides giving some speeches and looking good on the cover of rolling stone which i will never read again 2 he has no experience in foreign relations when he goes to state on tv that he would met with the leaders of iraq north korea cuba and venezuela with out any pre conditions show his lack of grasp on foreign matters 3 the fact that since he won the dem nom everything that he stood for during the primary race against clinton has changed here is one example of many thought the weapons ban in dc was constitutional then when the supreme court said it wasn t he agreed but the biggest flop is his stance on iraq he has stated in numerous speeches that he was against the war in iraq in 2003 when he was a sate senator well who gives a s you were a state senator you had no say in weather or not we went to war in iraq states do not declare war on countries the senate and house of representatives of the united states declare war so to say that while as a state senator you were against going to war as no merit besides you just proving that you are a left wing liberal that wants to use and abuse the freedoms that thousands of american troops have died for then when you finally get to the big state as a u s senator you remain the anti war liberal which is fine everybody is allowed to have the opinion and for that thank a veteran so he was sworn into the senate on jan 5 2005 and 13 months later he put his hat into the race for president 13 months are you kidding me you have 7 years as a state senator and 13 months as a u s senator and have the aducity to run for president the fact that now a 17 months after announcing your run for president you are trying to turn your campaign from the far left lane to the center lane and to do this you are having to go against everything you stood for during the 16 month primaries now to get back on this topic iraq barrack hussein obama yes i use his middle name does this make me a racist no its his name if he doesn t like it or if you don t tough i didn t name him the fact that at the start of the primaries he was 100 against the war and that elected you would pull troops out as soon as you hit office then he came out with a bill in senate that called for the troops to be out of iraq by march 31 2008 that was turned down then he came up with an idea to pull out 1 to 2 brigades out of iraq in each month and have all of them out in 16 months but he would leave enough forces there to guard the embassy and a counter terrorist group as well but hold the phone here it is july 2008 3 1 2 months till the general election and he has all but switched his position barrack hussein obama was everywhere in the beginning of 2007 and the end of 2006 saing the surge would not work it was a bad idea to double down as he state on the meet the press even in august of 2007 2 months after the surge began which if you are not in the military 2 months is not enough time to root out enemy forces from a country the size of texas he came out saying the sure isn t working and no matter what gen petraeus says in sept it does not matter the surge is a failure pull out now well let fast forward to june 2008 he is still on the surge isn t working band wagon but what a minute what is this i am hearing from the main stream media itself oh the surge worked the terrorists are all but destroyed the iraqi got has reached 16 out 18 objectives the dem congress put forth as part of the surge but your president nominee said it wouldn t work and it isn t working oh wait a minute my bad he didn t say that he told is that on the tv and the internet good thing he never told us the surge wouldn t work oh what is that you say check youtube oh yea youtube the new way to check what a politician has really said abut an issue 17 months ago even though he cant remember so this is what i found its a lonf video but worth the watch now i am not a genius like barrack hussien obama but it appears to me he doesn t even know where he stands on iraq in fact it make me think that his change means he will change his mind do yourself a favor look read watch and listen to everything that is out there on both canadiates then make your choice don t just vote becasue you alwaysvoted for that party the wrong choice in nov might bring the change that this country may never be able to recover from july 18 2008 posted by sappercookie poltics barrack barrack hussien obama change iraq obama 1 comment how can there be change ok so i have been sitting here and pondering the last few days the more i ponder the more i get mad the more i get mad the more i realize the problem needs to be fixed the issues i have been pondering are numerous but there are 2 that have really stuck out 1 oil energy crisis 2 term limits so lets talk about number 1 oil and energy there has been a lot of talk about oil and the energy here in this country here the last few weeks we have been hearing from the left from the right and each of them have had their opinions on how to fix the problem but the thing that makes me made is the majority of the folks in congress guess which half do not see the obvious solution drill i mean its not the best solution to conserve the environment but for the situation we are in now a shortage of oil the cost of gas it is the only solution that makes sense and would actually work how you ask well lets start easy and work or way harder drilling would work faster and better for this country then relying on congress and the folks trying to discover alternative fuels drilling for oil in anwar and off the costs of florida and california would show results in 1 year but if you listen to the left they say it will take at least 10 years for the oil to make a difference yet they say that alternative fuels solar and wind are the way to go to get off our dependency of foreign oil i agree those things would but how long will it actually take to have these things how long will it take for me to have a gar that runs on electricity that can get me from bentonville ar to memphis tn roughly 372 miles and 5 hours driving 70 mph in one charge and get me there in 5 hours how long barrack hussein obama well i bet it will take over 1 year to get this working in fact i would guess it would take up to 10 or more years now some of you might think that drilling will hurt the environment well to that i would ask when is the last time there has been an oil drilling accident in this country i can not think of one not one t he last oil accident that i can remember is the exxon valdez in alaska back in the 80 s and that was a tanker running aground update i have come across a list of oil accidents that you can find by going here the technology that the oil companies use to drill make sure that oil spills are far and few between now some of you will say anwar is a protected area what about the mosquitoes that are protected there my answers is are you serious the size that the oil companies want to drill on is less then 1 2 of 100th o2 1 that is 200o acres in an area that has over 1 5 million acres i am not a math major but that seems to be a lot of lad with nothing on it and a small area that the oil companies want to drill on so this will then lead to the well the oil companies have 68 million acres they aren t drilling in well first there is no oil there so why would they drill there second why don t w do a swap kind of like when you buy something from wal mart but it is the wrong size you can swap it for the right size lets swap 68 million useless acres for 2 000 that s thousand full of oil acres so this last point brings me to my 2 part of this blog term limits 2 term limits i have blogged about this before you can find it here in this post i go into a way that term limits can be put into place for congress now the reason i bring this up is because barrack hussein obama is running on the change and hope claims for the country but this leaves the question for me how can there be change in this country if the folks in congress have been there for way to long how can a career politician change things in congress when he or she have been doing the same thing over and over for 20 or more years this does not make sense to me and if it make sense to you please explain it to me there have been members of congress mostly the senate i will look into the house in another blog that have been there for over 40 years 40 freaking years are you kidding me according to wikipedia there are over 9 senators that have served for over 30 years and 4 for over 40 years how can there be change in fact there are 18 senators that have served over 20 years but only 39 have served under 8 years in the senate so 39 out of 100 have served the same amount of time as the president that s 2 5 of the senate have served for the same amount of time or less then the president of the united states does this not bother anybody but me now there have been instances that members have tried to put term limits in place but each time they have been voted down the reasoning that is giver for no term limits in congress we have term limits it is called elections elections in the eyes of the congress are a way to enforce term limits yet when the 22nd amendment was put into the constitution by congress it was ok because we didn t need a president to serve more then 8 years after a democratic president fdr was elected as president for 4 terms here is the text of the 22nd section 1 no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice and no person who has held the office of president or acted as president for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the president more than once but this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of president when this article was proposed by the congress and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of president or
