• Why Are Sailors on Navy Submarines Cheating on Tests?

  August 16, 2011 at 7:22am

  In reply to Jack2011.

  In my 11 years in subs I was never given an answer key as an enlisted person. I served on the Ohio, Maryland and in Groton(NSSF)! I had to retake a test if I failed but that was the extent. There was no need to cheat in the Navy. The lesson plans where framed around the test for eight graders. It may be different for nuclear trained personnel. If you had have a brain then you could pass. But all of the personnel I had met in my time of service I have never seen such things. Honor, Courage and Commitment these are and always have been my ideals.

• NBC Apologizes for Omitting ‘Under God’ in Video of Children Reciting Pledge of Allegiance

  Do you really think someone on the media floor said yes I and I alone will edit this pledge. With out anyone’s approval. I will risk my job I have had for a long time in this market with high unemployment. NO it was a group of people. A director, editor, someone to do the editing. It was a coordinated effort. Middle management was involved I would bet a dollar to everyone of your pennies it was so!!!!!!

• A ‘No’ From Netanyahu: Israeli PM Rejects 1967 Border Talk in Front of Press

  In reply to anOpinion.

  Love it who even the Blaze never mentions that Israel was attacked by Three separate countries (surprise attack that is) Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Why does no one ever mention the reason why it was called the Six day war? It took Israel six days to kick the poop out of three Muslim countries. I am ashamed of you Blaze. WHY NOT MENTION THIS ONE POINT?

• Obama Now Tells Jewish Audience That Border With Palestine Would Be ‘Different’ Than 1967

  In reply to icareabouttheusa.

  Don’t you love how the media continually mentions that Israel seized the land in 1967. The drive bye Media never mentions that Israel was attack by their three neighbouring (Jordan, Egypt and Syria if I am correct) countries for no reason other than that Israel exists. Inconvenient Truth? Hmmm?

• Sinking Of Western Civilization: Over 25% of Homes in America ‘Underwater’

  May 10, 2011 at 1:43pm

  In reply to RED-DAWN.

  totally agree. I looked into it and figured I could get a 190k home max. The online calculator and my realtor told me 224k. I laughed and got what I thought was comfortable with my budget. They tried to give me an 3year ARM and a Interest only loan. I am glad I did not listen.

• Sinking Of Western Civilization: Over 25% of Homes in America ‘Underwater’

  In reply to kickagrandma.

  Kickagrandma I totally agree but……I am one of those people. Let me explain. I got out of the Navy after 11 years in subs. I got a great job, still have a great job(lucky, I know). I grew up in NYC and dreamed of owning a home. But the home I bought depreciated from 189K to 140k. I refuse to move. I will stay until I die or lose my job. Most likely the later due to Prez Hussein. I am waiting to see the inside the beltway lapdogs called the senior GOP members to wake up and listen to the Tea Party. If not I have my ammo and food to hold out. It will probably go that way unfortunately.

  Just letting you know there are a few of us who got caught in this squeeze and only learned after it all went down.

• ‘Plague of Muslims’? France to Debate Role Islam, Secularism Play in Society

  April 2, 2011 at 6:24pm

  Have you seen the areas in France that police and citizenry fear to tread? Because Sharia Law is what rules in those areas. They like to think they are secular but are controlled by religious Muslims. Sad what happened to them.

• At Least Nine Dead in Second Day of Afghan Riots Over Koran Burning

  April 2, 2011 at 5:45pm

  I think that is how we can defeat them. Just burn a book and they riot. We burn several books and they destroy whole towns. This is a religion of peace?…..I THINK NOT!!!! I saw this in another blog the other day. It was the nephew of Sun Tzu, it went like this. “Make a fire for a Mujahaden and you warm him for a night. Burn a Mujahaden and he will be warm for the rest of his life.” Give them exactly what they give us until they come to the table asking for peace. Strength threw power.

• Security Boots Cowboys’ Receiver From Texas Mall in Row Over Saggy Pants

  March 23, 2011 at 7:26am

  I grew up in the lower east sided of NYC. Almost all black or Spanish(legal Puerto Ricans). I grew up watching this fad come in. I know for a fact when you see baggy pants come into an area. You got very cautious and paranoid. You made sure you did not look like a victim and acted very confident. Never look away fast or stare at someone’s eyes to long. This would show aggression or passivity, two traits which are like blood in the water for these punks. Alone they are annoying, in a group they are dangerous. I am Puerto Rican if you are wondering. I met my first white person when i was in 8th grade. I agree with this assesment about pulling your pants up. If I feel like this and i was surrounded by it all my life, how would other feel who are not part of this culture? I hope you people calling us racist read this little comment. I will assume I will be ignored because the cold truth is yelling out to be heard in the post. God bless and keep you from a bitter clinger!
