Limbaugh Nailed This One
Subject: Limbaugh Nailed This One
By Rush Limbaugh:
I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the
September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in
Uniform are profound. No one is really talking about it either,
because you just don't criticize anything having to do with
September 11. Well, I can't let the numbers pass by because it says
something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this
country. If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack,
you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a
minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.
If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed
in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death
benefit, half of which is taxable.
Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving
spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a
payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child
hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt.
Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of
$1.185 million up to $4.7 milli on are complaining that it's not
enough Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in
the wrong place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in harms
way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers.
We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the
Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the
same deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition
to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are
now asking for compensation
as well.
You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and
parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country.
It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the
military, they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the
green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families
have to survive on food stamps and live in low-rent housing Make
sense?
However, our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you
don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to
receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are
now equal to being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social
Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the
system. If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get
out as an E-7, they may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and
the very people who pl aced them in harm's way receives a pension
of $15,000 per month.
I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join
ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for
our sons and daughters who are now fighting.

That poor boy is leaching out his bones with all that frenetic dieting, and soon he will fall into a helpless, gelatinous heap of skin and cartilage with two limpid, doe-like eyes and a few well-buffed fingernails floating on it.
Pudgy?? Of course he was a pudgy little boy! His mommy did that to him. She stuffed him like a pig, because she wanted something "cute" to play with. Too sad! He wanted out, and Kayle almost made it, too. He actually broke free of his evil, controlling mommy and began to tear his way out of that horrid, suffocating cocoon of baby fat and was well on his way to claiming his birthright in the world of Men. Yes, Kayle fought like the MAN that he was born to be, and he was well on his way to standing tall and strong and vigorous and free, a true Man's Man among real Men's Men, but then it happened!
He was idly paging through a tabloid rag while standing in a checkout line at Freud Lion when he opened the centerspread and was hit full in the face by a full-colour centerfold splash of..... BOY GEORGE!!! Poor Kayle went to pieces like a $2.00 suitcase, and by eight that very same evening he was suited up in muave spandex and made up to the nines and trying out for all he was worth for a spot in the chorus line in CATS !0 -

What does Michael Moore have to do with Rush's comments?0 -
[:D] HE GOT THE PART, OF COURSE, AND HE'S BEEN DANCING HIS TUSHY OF EVER SINCE. WHEN HE'S NOT DANCING, KAYLE LIKES TO DESIGN ON NAPKINS, WALLCOVERINGS, OR BARE HUMAN FLESH AT CHIC LITTLE BISTROS ON THE LEFT BANK. HE DOES HIS BEST WORK IN CHARCOAL AND TRADITIONAL SOUTH SEAS TATTOO, BUT OCCASIONALLY HE WILL DABBLE IN GOUACHE OR TINTED AND FLAVOURED GELATINS OF BELGIAN MANUFACTURE. KAYLES' AGGRESSIVELY PROGRESSIVE CLOTHING AND ACCESSORY LINES ARE THE TOAST OF THE AVANT FASHION WORLD'S RUNWAYS, AND HE SWEARS HE WILL NEVER, EVER GO BACK TO MOWING LAWNS ALL SUMMER LONG AGAIN!

What does Michael Moore have to do with Rush's comments?
If you want to vogue as Bill Cody, get a Sharp's and a fringed doeskin jacket and leggings and a canvas-covered canteen that has "U.S." stenciled on it. Don't forget your suspenders! If any of those Civil War Re-enactors give you any crap, like hollering, "Hey! What outfit you with?", BLOW THEIR ARSES OFF!0 -

A little too much Freudian autobiography being displayed for my comfort level. My yuck meter just pegged.
Yes, Rush nailed it...as usual.0 -
He's a bit off on the numbers.
If I, as a serving member of the Military, die, in battle or in a car/bus accident or of cancer or whatever, my wife receives a $100,000 direct deposit for help with expenses such as bills for until she returns to work, travel and food for family, etc. She receives all the pay I earned since my last paycheck. That's all the gov't owes her. She also will receive my SGLI (life insurance through the military) of $400,000. I elected lump sum on that, so it won't be a monthly payout.
I never heard of the other stuff he's talking about.0
