Rep. Jeff Duncan is on CSPAN talking about granddad and grandma
Edited on Fri Apr-08-11 10:11 AM by Lint Head
having to sacrifice a golf membership and a pedicure so they can balance their personal budget in this economy. He used that as a comparison to what the government has to do. How about granddad and grandma having to to sacrifice the needed medicine, food and shelter because rich SOB's won't pay their taxes and because Halliburton is more important than the average citizen.

He also said we need to fund the military that is fighting everyday to protect our freedoms. The military has not fought to protect
our freedom since World War II. All wars and conflicts since then have been testosterone filled political wastes of lives and money.
9/11 did not happen because "They hate our freedom." it was retaliation to make us get out of their lives because we have a history of interfering in other countries because we want their trade and to sell them armaments. All I ever hear from most non American citizens is that they want our freedoms. They want a democracy and representative government like ours. Look at the middle east and Africa right now. People in those countries
are dying for freedom.

I am not disrespecting the military. I think our military is being used by people that have a blood lust for anyone that looks different and doesn't want a picket fence and mom's apple pie.

Duncan is currently the President and CEO of J. Duncan Associates, a South Carolina based, family owned real estate marketing firm which specializes in statewide real estate auctions.

7. I was born in South Carolina and moved away because of bigoted

8. My grandmothers never had pedicures.
And my grandfathers were too exhausted from years of working in the mines and the factories, and died too young because of bodies worn out by decades of backbreaking labor and exposure industrial chemicals, to worry much about "golf".
