Things that are bugging me

There are several things disturbing me this morning and I need to share them with you:

First, I’ve been following the story about a young high school honor student, Eagle Scout, JROTC member, and United States Military Academy hopeful, Matthew Whelan, who lives and attends high school in Troy New York. He has been suspended from school for five days because he had a pocket knife in his winter survival kit stowed in the locked trunk of his car. The suspension is about his violation of the school district’s zero tolerance policy regarding weapons on campus. Also they tacked on an additional 15-day suspension not because it was the policy but because they could – it’s called ‘discretionary’ – how about discriminatory? How did they know that he had pocket knife in his winter survival kit? Who else – staff and teachers included – have had their vehicles checked for a same policy violation? Most upstate New York drivers have a winter survival kit in their vehicles – they have blizzards and they may need every single item in those kits.

Second, CINCO (Comrade-in-Chief Obama) and his socialist-free market haters will be in New York City today for two fund raisers - $15,000 per person. He’s been attacking Goldman Sachs for days now because of the bonuses they’re about to hand out – now he going to them with his hand out for campaign (extortion) money. Incredible

Last, I do not listen to Rush Limbaugh not because I don’t like him or care to hear him but because his show is on at inconvenient times. Until this controversy appeared with the NFL and his potential ownership I didn’t really catch an entire broadcast, just snippets. So I began doing some online research into his ‘racial slurs.’ I couldn’t find racial slurs. Now I am disappointed to learn that the left has begun a smear campaign using race baiters and extortionists against Mr. Limbaugh. Why is it okay for lurid sexual behaviors, drug abuse, rape, shootings, DUI/DWI arrests, steroid use and scandalous other activities by NFL players to occur but does not allow Mr. Limbaugh, who dearly loves professional football and knows what success looks like, to participate in the sport? Race baiters and extortionists like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson need a forum to make rain for their personal success (as they have defined it).
