I checked this out and it's true!

I checked this out and it's true!

Newt Gingrich, a Republican, served in the House from Georgia from 1978 and as House Minority Whip in 1989. He was Speaker of the House from 1995 to 1999. During that time he never made use of military air craft.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California, current Speaker of the House. The Pentagon provides the House speaker with an Air Force plane large enough to accommodate her staff, family, supporters, and members of the California delegation when she travels around the country. But, Pelosi wants routine access to a larger plane. It includes 42 business class seats, a fully-enclosed state room, an entertainment center, a private bed, state-of-the-art communications system, and a crew of 16. Pelosi wanted "carte blanche for an aircraft any time", including weekend trips home to San Francisco. Pretty nice but very expensive perk! Her Air Force C-32 costs approximately $15,000 an hour or approximately $300,000 per trip home.

And she has the guts to confront the Big Three CEOs for flying their corporate jets to Washington!

Just so you know, the military C-32's name in our world is
B -- 757-200.

Delta's configuration for this airplane has seats for 174 paying passengers.

And this person ( Her Majesty ) is going to be among the leaders getting the country out of trouble ?????
But we have to keep in mind ---
The U.S. is STILL the *("best game in town".

A fond farewell............

A fond farewell............

Dear President Bush, I know you won't ever see my blog, it's too new and small. But I have to say goodby.
For the last 8 years, I have stood behind you and trusted you with our America and despite all the bashing you took, never wavered in that trust. I have always been proud of you in the convictions to protect us, despite the polls and all the liberals and the media. I came to love my President and first lady, and tonight, I cry. You will be so missed. And I'm not alone with these tears.

We have no idea where Obama is going to take us, and it's scarry! With you there was some comfort, we knew the crowd you run with, with him we also know who he runs with, and we see the road to socialism. Obama just may take our freedom as a nation away. I see a civil war ahead. In my old eyes, I look to the heavens to protect us. I may not be here to witness alot of what is to come.

But my children will be the ones to fight for the freedom that I have lived. And I hope there will be enough conservatives to stand along side them to win.
But that is another life I must live in the long lives I have already experienced.
All I want to say tonight is "Thank you for serving our nation".
You are a true American.
