Regardless of whether or not you are a soldier in the military or a federal agent, your actions are a reflection of your leadership. Soldiers in a military unit will be squared away if they have good leadership. The leadership sets the tone for the entire unit. If soldiers in a unit know that their commander will nail them to the wall for not following the standards, then the soldiers of that unit will generally be well trained, display professionalism and follow the standards. Why? Because regardless of their personal beliefs or morals, they know that this is what the leadership expects and they will be in trouble if they don’t. On the other hand, if you are in a unit where the commander does not enforce the standards, or does not follow the standards himself/herself, then the soldiers of that unit will generally not follow the standards and will push the limits to see what they can get away with before they will get into trouble.
This is not to say that a unit will not have a couple of individual knuckleheads who just will not follow the rules even if they have a good commander. There will always be one or two outliers in any organization. In general though, the soldiers of a unit with a good commander will be squared away while the soldiers in a unit with a bad commander will be ate up. (Pardon my military terminology.) The actions of the Secret Service reflects poorly upon President Obama.
I am not a secret service agent, nor am I near the President, so I cannot know how the President acts when he lets loose behind closed doors. I do know how he acts publicly though, and his public disregard for the law and morality downright scares me. How can we expect Americans in general, let alone the Secret Service agents, to uphold the law and have moral integrity if our own President does not seem to?
The Defense of Marriage Act is a law that has been passed by Congress and signed by the President. President Obama has openly stated that he will not defend or respect the Defense of Marriage Act.
President Obama has not enforced internet pornography laws. Online pornography is a contributing factor to prostitution and sex trafficking. Just ask a secret service agent involved in the sex scandal (last line sarcasm).
President Obama is disregarding the Constitution in regard to Obamacare by forcing Americans to engage in commerce and purchase private health insurance, and also by forcing religious organizations to pay for a private service that goes against their religious beliefs.
President Obama is openly refusing to enforce immigration laws or take the measures needed to defend our borders. Furthermore, when the President could not get the Dream Act passed, he effectively implemented the Dream Act unilaterally by directing federal agencies to be lax in enforcing the law.
President Obama is immorally spending trillion of dollars more than what the government can pay back. The national debt is more than 15 trillion and that is an amount that seems impossible to even be able to pay back. It will surely get passed off to our children and grandchildren who will have to pay it back. Having debt can and will lead to massive problems now and further down the road. Just ask the secret service agent who got his sex scandal made public because of an unpaid debt (last line sarcasm).
President Obama immorally supports Partial Birth Abortion in which an American’s life is taken from them as they are being born by getting stabbed in the back of the neck before they come out. Furthermore, President Obama supports funneling millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood (an abortion provider) even though tax money is not supposed to pay for abortions. This federal money to Planned Parenthood effectively goes to paying for abortions even though the money was not technically given to Planned Parenthood to pay for abortions.
Obama was willing refuse paying the US Soldiers fighting for freedom because Planned Parenthood funding was more important that paying our military members.
President Obama has immorally and unprofessionally created racial divides by using the DOJ to be racially biased in their decisions (like the DOJ not prosecuting the New Black Panthers but then turning around an unconstitutionally blocking the Texas Voter ID Law). Obama’s other actions have also caused racial divides instead of bringing races together. For instance, Obama has created a “Blacks for Obama” organization. Would it be acceptable for a white candidate to create a “Whites for Romney” organization or a “Whites against Obama” organization? Obama has also created racial divides between blacks and Hispanics and whites and blacks by taking the side of black Trayvon Martin against Hispanic George Zimmerman based on race/emotion and not fact, and also taking the side of a black professor over a white police officer based on race and not facts. Those are just some of the instances where President Obama has publicly not followed the standards or has displayed low moral integrity.
And we wonder why these Secret Service agents did not follow the standards or display moral integrity by getting involved, as a group, in this Colombian Prostitution and Sex Scandal. For the record, I think there are many great and very moral Secret Service agents serving their country and it is a shame that this scandal and bad leadership will taint the good work that they are doing and have done.
Congrats, you and all the Tex republicans that believe this have reached a new level of bat shit crazy.
Wow, one of the most deliberately illogical articles I've read this year. Taking the actions of federal agents in a militaristic subculture (wrong as they may be) and transferring the blame to Obama is a severely flawed argument, and shows a criminally unintelligent abuse of cause and effect. Secondly, I have to admit that the ignorant diatribe on the Obama administration purely based on this scandal is sadly to be expected of the pandering propaganda bestowed on the world by the GOP. Oh well.
Secondly, it heartens me that Obama fails to support the defense of marriage act, and I eagerly anticipate the day when the prejudiced politicians behind absurd legislature such as this are historically remembered as the small-minded, anti-humanist bigots that they are. I won't even draw the connection to the racism of the deep south or the nazi movement (although the parallels are not hard to see). Please disregard your arbitrary "Christian Family Values" and use your own brain to think. "Christian Values" do not have an excellent historical track record; at some point reality becomes the arbiter of morality.
When Chaney was guarding todd & Sarah palin. Todd took him Chaney and told his fave prostitute to be nice to his co-worker. She did not know he was SS until she saw his pic and said on her Facebook She gave him a BJ!
So don't try to pin immoral shit on Obama, when Todd palin's National prostitution ring needs to be investigated!
This salad is healthy, fresh, crunchy and flavoursome – the combination of noodles, juicy pan-seared beef and crisp vegetables make this a real winner in terms of texture and taste.
Coat the beef strips with a little oil and season with salt and pepper. Preheat a nonstick pan to moderately hot. Keep the heat at moderately-high.
When buying the crispy noodles, make sure you use ones that say ready to eat on the pack, as some packet noodles need to be cooked first. The crispy noodles give this salad a wonderful crunchy texture.
When cooking beef strips cook the first side until the first sign of moisture appears on the uncooked side, then turn and cook the other side to complete the cooking. This way the beef will brown well.
This great recipe is from Beef & Lamb, where you can find all the information you’ve ever needed about Aussie beef and lamb!
Local RFDS support group officials Mark Wellington and Jenni Brammer (right) present a big cheque to RFDS central operations volunteer coordinator Lindy Allchurch.
A committed group of Naracoorte volunteers – including Teys – has presented the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) with a donation of $100,000.
Teys Australia a major donor to this cause, along with other Naracoorte-based businesses including the Southern Grassfed Carcase Classic; Colin Layzell and the Westbound Wanderers; Pinkerton Palm Hamlyn and Steen (hosts of the Lamb Drive); Naracoorte Golf Club (hosts of the Tradie’s Day); Lorna and Art Hopper; and duck shooters.
The RFDS Naracoorte & District Support Group’s annual donation takes the group’s total contribution to the life-saving service to more than $900,000 since its formation in 1995.
According to Mark Wellington, President of the RFDS Naracoorte & District Support Group, “the RFDS lands twice a week in Naracoorte to airlift a patient to Adelaide for life-saving surgery or specialist medical treatment… Everyone in the area knows somebody who has been flown by the RFDS – it’s such a vital service, and you never know when it might be you or a loved one who will need the Flying Doctor.”
Mr Wellington went on to thank every member of the RFDS Naracoorte & District Support Group and the local community for their generous donations and unwavering support. Mr Wellington presented the cheque for $100,000 to Lindy Allchurch, RFDS Central Operations Volunteer Coordinator, at the group’s AGM on Tuesday 14 August.
We were very happy to contribute to this cause. The RFDS has been saving lives for 90 years, and our collective donations will directly benefit the RFDS capital-raising program for the replacement of RFDS ‘flying intensive care units’ – which cost more than $7 million each.
