Jim Hill's Letter to Senator Barbara Boxer August 14, 2009
Jim Hill's Letter to Senator Barbara Boxer:
Many of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer as she
admonished a Brigadier General because he addressed her as "ma'am" and not "Senator" before a Senate hearing. This letter is from a National Guard
aviator and Captain for Alaska Airlines. I wonder what he would have said if
he were really angry.
The admonition:
Dear Senator Boxer:
You were so right on when you scolded the general on TV for using
the term, "ma'am," instead of "Senator". After all, in the military, "ma'am"
is a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position.
The general was totally wrong. You are not a person of superior rank or
position. You are a member of one of the world's most corrupt organizations,
the U.S. Senate, equalled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors,
drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and
other low level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do
anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of
the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be
continually re-elected. Many democrats even want American troops killed by
releasing photographs. How many of you could honestly say, "We pledge our
lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor"? None? One? Two?
Your reaction to the general shows several things. First is your
abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the general
shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind. When the general entered the
military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check,
offering his life to protect your derriere, now safely and comfortably
ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the general's
taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.
Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and
arrogance which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior
shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit
for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated
masses who have made California into the laughing stock of the nation.
What I am writing, Senator, are the same thoughts countless millions
of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time
to convey them. Under the democrats, some don't even have the 44 cents to
buy the stamp. Regardless of their thoughts, most realize that politicians
are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the
most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton
(1834 - 1902) so aptly charged, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power
corrupts absolutely." Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, "Mr. Power"
has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it.
Finally Senator, I, too, have a title, which is Brigadier General, of the Armed Forces of the United States of America. Every soldier under my command addresses me as either Sir or General, and if I was a female, it would be no different. If I am designated as a "Right Wing Extremist
Potential Terrorist Threat," then every soldier under my former command is also. My command was not of my choosing, but was awarded to me
by my Commander in Chief.
If you dishonor my command, I will lay down my arms, and allow it to be commanded by another.
Have a fine day. Cheers!
Jim Hill - Brigadier General (Retired)
16808 - 103rd Avenue Court East
