Great Words of Wisdom

If Republicans want to get along with Democrats, they should listen to the words of the great American President Barack Obama who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Follow his words of wisdom, after all, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. 


Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser - May 6, 2010


"After they (Republicans)  drove the car into the ditch, made it as difficult as possible for us to pull it back, now they want the keys back. No! You can't drive. We don't want to have to go back into the ditch. We just got the car out."


Moving Forward Campaign - October 22, 2010


“Finally we got this car up on level ground. And, yes, it's a little beat up. It needs to go to the body shop. It's got some dents; it needs a tune-up. But it's pointing in the right direction. And now we've got the Republicans (Democrats) tapping us on the shoulder, saying, we want the keys back.


You can't have the keys back. You don't know how to drive. You can ride with us if you want, but you got to sit in the backseat. We're going to put middle-class America in the front seat. We're looking out for them.”

Call Me Master

For those who think that people get to choose what names, titles, or pronouns other people must use when referring to them; I am declaring my choices.

I am a retired Navy master chief petty officer. In the Navy, for everyday usage in a work center, the master chief is often referred to as “master.” For example, “Has anyone seen the master this morning.” Ex-military personnel, especially retired personnel, are often referred to by their military rank. Therefore, all you “woke” people may now refer to me as “master.”
