    Is it just me?

    I can't run for 1.20 or 1.30 per mile. To be sure I can take one here or there but I have to average much higher than that. Luckily I am right now. It is getting far more difficult. It requires turning down more loads but we are doing it.

    Justic and Truth, FINALLY!!

    "Rights" are "different" on the battlefield then in the real world. While the need for a free press is likely GREATER on the battlefield than at "Ford Motor Company" it does carry far GREATER responsibilities. People tend to forget that EVERY right that we have comes with an equal...

    Justic and Truth, FINALLY!!

    I know all about war, OVM. I know the "good" and the "bad". I also know that the press ARE needed. We do have laws on the battlefield. We should follow them. We do, for the most part. Our troops must follow the UCMJ which includes law on what they can or cannot do on a battlefield. I believe...

    Justic and Truth, FINALLY!!

    We have always had press on the battlefield, we need them there and I don't want to live in a country that does not allow them there. I do, however, think that they should be responsible. They should KNOW not to report, locations, plans, troop movements etc. That costs lives and loses wars. They...

    Get out of Texas!

    While I agree with what you say Turtle, kids should NOT have cell phones in class. That does not excuse this, just pointing it out. They are in school to learn, hopefully useful tools, like reading, writing, math etc. Cell phones interfere with that. I doubt very much that if I had kids of...

    Justic and Truth, FINALLY!!

    We seem to agree more than we disagree here. I am not sure what you would mean by unnecessary classification in this case. On going military operations always involve lives and should be classified. We would have lost WWII if we had not classified troop movements, battle plans etc. You most...

    Will You Miss The Bush Tax Cuts???

    Our tax system should do the following: Limit the power of the Federal government Empower the People to advance Encourage self-sufficency Discourage laziness The system we have today does NONE of the above.

    Justic and Truth, FINALLY!!

    Which war are you speaking of? Not that it matters. Our congress has been doing everything in their power to insure we never win another war again since WWII ended. I do wonder which side they are on. If you are speaking of Viet Nam, I know A LOT about the behind the scenes restrictions that...

    WE, the PEOPLE, need to take away their "monopoly money" It is LONG past time for a good, old fashioned, TAX REVOLT!!! STOP GIVING IT TO THEM!! VOTE THEM ALL OUT!! They have PROVEN beyond any doubt that they are NOT able or willing to live within their means, or ours for that matter. The power...

    Will You Miss The Bush Tax Cuts???

    Yep, we have been for YEARS. It is not working here just as it is not working in Europe. I know the history. We are very much tied to the "old money" in Europe. Those in power want to stay there and increase their power at OUR expense. I have a hard time understanding why you agree with this...

    Justic and Truth, FINALLY!!

    I know it was a slam Nixon thing. None of the VERY bad stuff that Johnson/Kennedy/Carter or any of the Dumb-O-Crats did will come out in an election year that is hotly contested. Many generals have an ego problem. Many don't. I had little trouble with the ones I had to work with in the past...

    Will You Miss The Bush Tax Cuts???

    How can anyone confuse an issue that is already be lied about by everyone involved at every level? The goofy news is spinning it their way. The Dumb-O-Crats their way and the ReBumLicans their way. Who cares about the talking heads? Be it Rush or Randy? We are WAY over taxed. While this...

    Will You Miss The Bush Tax Cuts???

    Maybe we should have a "useless" tax. You know, pay more tax if you are not doing something of REAL value. Sports stars, singers, actors, talking heads, elected officials, all pay 60% on the first 10 million and 100% on everything above that. None of them do anything worth a flip.

    Shoot, those no good bums could not even pass a budget. They just "deemed" one passed. What a bunch of crooks. I would LOVE to hear someone back up that move.

    Will You Miss The Bush Tax Cuts???

    It matters NOT what Palin says. Taxes need to be cut drastically, across the board. Spending needs to be cut MORE than taxes. Cut spending by AT LEAST 30%, real numbers. Get rid of entire programs. Get rid of "CZARS". Then get rid of the income tax. Go to a national sales tax, NOT a VAT, then...

    Exploring our options!

    Good LUCK!!! Life on your rules is ALWAYS better!! Be sure that the APU is not only reliable but has enough "guts" to do the job. We are idling our truck because our APU cannot keep the truck cool in this heat. Far too few BTU's for this size sleeper, 96". Maybe if we had 4" foam everywhere it...

    Low Paying Load Opps

    You just gotta love these low ball load offers. Under a dollar a mile with the long DH. Below ANY reasonable rate without the DH and they want you do babysit the freight too!! We just say NO WAY JOSE, give them a rate at which would run it at, and zip it out. I loved getting woke up 3 times last...

    ICE union votes no confidence for ICE agency bosses

    Fewer and fewer freedoms in this country. Today's unions are FAR more left wing than they used to be. They are becoming an extension of the "New American Socialist Party" led by Barry and Co. IF they believed in FREEDOM there would NOT be FORCED union membership and ALL states would be RIGHT TO...
