Ma'am versus Senator

Please take the time to digest this. It is one of the BEST! This guy
was a tad ticked at Barbara Boxer belittling the General a couple weeks > ago
and sent her a very sweet email. Some of you may remember a few weeks or > so
back Barbara Boxer admonishing a Brigadier General because he addressed
her as Ma'am and
not Senator before a Senate hearing.


For those that missed it.


This is a letter from a Guard Aviator and Captain for Alaska Air Lines.
He hits the nail directly on the head.

Dear Ms. Boxer,

You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using the
term "ma'am," instead of "Senator." After all, in the military, "ma'am" is a
term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position.

The general was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or
position. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations,
the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.

Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors, drunks
(one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low
level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to
enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of
the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually
re-elected. Many democrats even want American troops killed by releasing
photographs. How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our lives, our
fortunes and our sacred honor"? None? One? Two?

Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your > abysmal
ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general shows > you
to be an elitist of the worst kind. When the general entered the military
(as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering
his life to protect your derriere now safely and comfortably ensconced in
a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general's taxes. You
repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.

Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and arrogance
which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior shows you
to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit for your
position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated masses who
have made California into the laughing stock of the nation.

What I am writing, Senator, are the same thoughts countless millions of
Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to
convey them. Under the democrats, some don't even have the 44 cents to buy
the stamp. Regardless of their thoughts, most realize politicians are
pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the most
bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is.

Lord Acton (1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt and
absolute power corrupts absolutely." Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues,
Mr. Power has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for
it.

Finally Senator, I, too, have a title. It is "Right Wing Extremist
Potential Terrorist Threat." It is not of my choosing, but was given to me by
your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. And you were offended
by "ma'am"?

Have a day. Cheers!
