Think the good Major is correct. For every governement scandel and cover up, another one seems to pop up.

And it's no big surprise that he is being retaliated against. They may not fire him but they sure can make life Hell for him until he eventually quits.

Cheers!

Speaking of an America that doesn't exist anymore...

Why are our Presidential candidates campaigning in foreign countries?

BILL HAS GONE AND DONE IT AGAIN...

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.
I can't even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be...
And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.
$500 sneakers for what?

And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?

And where is the father? Or who is his father?

People putting their clothes on backward: Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body? What part of Africa did this come from??
We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa.

I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.

I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa . So stop, already! ! !
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap ......... And all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.
We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players who cannot read. We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.

Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer.'

Dr. William Henry 'Bill' Cosby, Jr., Ed. D.

I found this on Facebook and I wanted to repost this here and to talk about the country that's no longer here.

It's not about black kids because too many white kids are talking like idiots, too.

I will expand on this. Speaking or the way one speaks is an impression of the intelligence of the individual. Having lived in the South for over ½ of my lifetime I will extend this to the Southern accent. What happened to the gentile Southern gentleman? The traditional white Southerner was a person who spoke with proper English; Val Kilmer’s “Doc Holiday” comes to mind. Prior to the War Between the States, when people from other nations envisioned a typical American, they would have had an image of a Southern gentleman or lady. In fact, to learn early American history means to learn Southern history; alas, that is rare even in the South. Today, the Southern accent has evolved into an uneducated way of speaking. Proper English and a vocabulary are no longer stressed. Southern traditions have been diluted to a rebel flag and the dumb, good ole boy, redneck is the stereotype.

I think that what we are living through is a time brought on by people misconstruing liberty and freedom to mean that you can do anything you want at any time about anything without results or consequences.

For example it is your right to grow a Hitler moustache, change your name to Thai Wan On, and totally ignore hygiene and grammar. However, after having done all of that it is not your right to demand that I give you a job as a representative of my company.

It is your right to not work, to not be a productive member of society but it is not your right to demand that society provides you with an income that enables you to enjoy the lifestyle of a music mogul, or even the guy in the mogul's mail room.

You have a right to play sports but you don't have a right to demand that you get a trophy for just showing up if you happen to really suc, er, have no talent in that sport.

What I'm trying to get at is that we do have freedom to live almost anyway we choose and that is a very good thing but if we choose to live in a certain way we should be prepared to accept the rewards and more importantly the consequences of that choice.

[The Oracle]

Pilot,

You can't go and make sense of this. What are you thinking telling people that actions have consequences. I believe you have identified the root of the problem. Many people want the result without the work. It is not just in education, but lifestyle and children, etc. Liberty and "self" governerning take involvement. Without it you get where we are today.

I’ve been doing some serious therapy during the past couple of months and I’ve been taking this medication to help me level out my temper and see things the way they really are. I’ve also cut down on coffee significantly – anything after my second cup is decaf. I’ve been digging deeper into who and what I really am and some of what I see isn’t pretty.

I am a product of my environment but how I react to all that is up to me, it’s both a conscious and unconscious decision. I’m looking at the mistakes of my own past and I’m stuck with the realization that I have to change some aspects of my life as insurance to not make the same mistakes again.

And that’s what’s missing from society, personal responsibility. Somehow it’s “your” fault that I’m a loser. It’s YOUR fault that I didn’t have a good upbringing, didn’t get a good education or have a good job. We have a generation of people who won’t do the honest and hard work that I’m doing now.

The “Occupy” movement has been a symptom of a greater problem; somehow it’s someone else’s fault and we’re not getting the “stuff” we’re entitled to. Not stuff we earned, but the stuff that “they” owe us.

Because CEO’s make so much money, that must mean that there’s “less to go around” for those of us who don’t even work at those companies. I hate to be the one to defend CEO’s and Business owners; but what I would like someone to do is take one of the loudmouth dummies into their office and say; “OK, you’re king for a day… what do we do first, boss?” Many of us who say CEO’s make too much money never stop and ask why they are paid so much. I know I’ve said this before in another thread, but the fact is you have one person who has the entire company riding on his or her back. If the company fails he’s always the one who is blamed.

It never occurs to any of them or us that THEY take the jobs that nobody in their right mind would take for average pay.

It never occurs to us that while we’re wasting time participating and social warfare and class envy that the problem is with US. I’m the reason why I’m a flunk idiot, not the rest of society. Don’t I have unread books on myself, don’t I have access to technology that was beyond the imagination of the average person 30 years ago?

We allow our kids to talk like idiots. We allow our children to use TXTSPK in English papers and talk like degenerate hip-hop artists. That’s on us; while at the same time kids need to push forward and work on their issues when they become adults. Yea, you had shitty parents, but what did you do for yourself AFTER you left home?

[Major Eaton]

...And that’s what’s missing from society, personal responsibility. Somehow it’s “your” fault that I’m a loser. It’s YOUR fault that I didn’t have a good upbringing, didn’t get a good education or have a good job. We have a generation of people who won’t do the honest and hard work that I’m doing now.

It's hard not to channel Chuck Palahniuk reading the above:

Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy bunk we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off...

Here's something to add to the arguement; our children are not our own.

This is what drives me nuts. In some ways, I agree that it takes a village to raise a child. When I was a kid, when I got into something I shouldn't, the Parent Network kicked in. I got yelled at by the responsible parent in the area, then they called my parents and I got it again when I got home. That is the sum total of the village's participation in raising a child. The "village" in this case does not refer to the governing body but rather all of the parents within the village; the community itself. Even then, it was restricted to pointing out what you did wrong and ensuring you were punished for it.

Then you get folks like Hillary Clinton and this moron of the month who claim that children do not belong to their parents. When I see you stopping by my house at 2am to see if my kid needs their diaper changed or holding them after they've had a nightmare, then I'll admit you are assisting in the parenting. When I see a member of DSS or CSS or DPS or whatever acronym is used in your state for the department of "we take your kids away" actually holding the hair of my daughter when she's puking her guts out into the toilet because the virus of the month is making its rounds of the incubation grounds we call 'public school' then I'll listen to their opinions on how to discipline my child. When they're with them every day, offering gentle guidance in how to do something, encouraging them when they're down, yelling at them when they need it and hugging them when they want it, then they can say they're raising the child and that they have a say in that child's life. When they're the ones figuring out how to squeeze the money out of the budget so that maybe they can go to the movies with their friends this weekend or maybe they can get those shoes they really like, then they can pass judgement about how I parent.

Don't you sit there on your high horse in front of the cameras with your perfectly coiffed hair and makeup that was applied by the hourly wage plebes of the studio and tell me that I need to get used to the idea that my child that I sacrifice for, that I give up my own identity for, that I've cuddled, cried with, laughed with, eat with, live and learn with is not mine. Especially when you have glorified the single moms that are not struggling for their child working three jobs, but rather those living off the government teat on my money so their kids can have X-Boxes I can't afford and ride bicycles I can't afford and watch cable TV I can't afford. Madam; with absolutely no respect whatsoever because frankly you do not deserve any, you have no right to pontificate and I would appreciate it if you'd just shut your over-educated, over-paid, hyper-evaluated and self-serving pie hole. </rant>
