What have you done for Middletown lately?


Lived here my whole life and paid more City Taxes than 99% of the people who lived here during my residency.

As to fair minded, my views would fall smack in the middle of the Bell Curve. I dare you to suggest YOUR'S would be any where other than in the outer end. Sad to say however, the Curve today would be upside down and that does not make me feel a lot confidence for what the future might hold. No stable Society can last long when that  upended curve exists.

Sounds to me that I have done my share.

When comparing all alternatives, I believe that Rob Portman, John Kasich and John Boehner are more in line with my beliefs.  I hope that this response satisfies your questions/concerns.
 
In any event, what is happening under Obama is an insult to the framers of our constitution plus bill of rights.



Dear friend, the concept of Libertarianism is one even I like, but common sense tells anyone willing to think, that it is ridiculous and unworkable in modern society.

As to strict Constitutional views, I also lean that way. However, almost ALWAYS people such as yourself only lean that way when it fits what you want. The "Heroes" you mentioned certainly all do selectively adherence to strict Constitutional views.

A real Constitutionalist will fight to death to ensure the rights of his most diehard enemy. I dare say I believe you would bail as soon as some Political advantage for your 'side" arose from the 'bending" of some Constitutional principal.

You have made it quite clear that you are not enamored with the Dems and, in particular, the Obama administration. Just curious.... is there anything/anyone you dislike about/within the Republican Party? Did W Bush do anything wrong during his eight years?

I agree with you on people who constantly choose to play the race card to get leverage toward getting their way. Disgusting, especially if it is constantly being allowed to happen and worse yet, is becoming an acceptable practice in our society. ]]> Thu, 16 May 2013 10:23:24 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5258&PID=37909&title=scandal-politics-are-sweeping-capitol-hill#37909 Scandal politics are sweeping Capitol Hill : Mr. Holder is one of Hussein... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5258&PID=37907&title=scandal-politics-are-sweeping-capitol-hill#37907 Author: Libertarian

Thank all of you folks for caring enough to comment. Like all people under stress, my son and I do have our moments when we just run out of gas, throw our hands up in the air and say "is this all there is in life". Then, we regroup and just keep going because we have no other choice. I'll tell you one thing, after doing what caregivers do, on a daily basis for three+ years, if they aren't making at least 20 bucks an hour, they ain't makin' enough. I imagine caregiving is one of the most underappreciated jobs around. It is truely a job everyone should do for a month or two to see what it takes to accomplish the tasks.......and learning patience.......mercy, it forces you to if you are typically impatient. We have our verbal battles occasionally in our house. It ain't a pretty sight. Then, as quickly as the verbal assaults happen, is as quickly as they end because we all need to just keep moving forward with the care. No time to have it linger. The anger, yelling and screaming is actually an emotional release at times.

Again, thanks for the encouragement. ]]> Thu, 16 May 2013 06:15:26 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5258&PID=37903&title=scandal-politics-are-sweeping-capitol-hill#37903 Scandal politics are sweeping Capitol Hill : Mike_Presta wrote: Vet, There... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5258&PID=37902&title=scandal-politics-are-sweeping-capitol-hill#37902 Author: LMAO

There is no accounting for why tragedies happen to goodpeople.  You just have to accept thethings that you cannot change.

Keep doing what youare doing.  That is, carry on withdignity; accept help when you need it from wherever it is available; laugh whenyou can, as much as you can;  findmoments of peace and joy, even if they are few and fleeting.

Amen Mike. Vet,we all get frustrated and lash out but the good men upstairs knows that. I dont know you personally but have read your comments about your wife.Takes a strong man to do it and guess what,God is right there by yours and your son's side.There is a verse in the bible that says something like,god dont give us to much that we cant handle.Not a church going man but I do believe there is a God and when times get bad you look up to the sky and have a conversation with Him.Smile
