Mission: Readiness leftist BS group, Boston

The Sunday Journal Gazette published a letter entitled - New school standards big step in obesity fight. Scroll down here to read it.


It’s filled with the usual nanny state BS. Washington D.C. bureaucrats know what’s best for us. Evil US corporations are blocking all of Washington’s good deeds. Then the tried and true Lib pabulum and the biggest BS line ever – it’s for the children.

The letter was penned by retired Air Force LtGen Norman Seip. Seip uses his retired rank to gain credibility, and frankly 20 years ago that would have worked. Seip claims obesity is national security issue because it is a disqualifier for military service. In another presentation Seip claimed Pre-K was a national security issue. Huh, 4 year olds going to federally funded day care is a national security issue?

Seip is a member of a group called Mission: Readiness. The group claims to be non-partisan but shills for the usual left wing nanny state BS. Check out Mission: Readiness here.

I used the contacts link on the web site to forward Seip this note:

General Seip:

Re: New school standards big step in obesity fight (Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette Apr 14, 2013)

I laugh out loud when I hear people who have sworn an oath to support and defend the constitution, a document that is supposed to protect we the people from government harassment and overreach, advocate for that very government harassment and overreach.

There it was our trusted and beloved government - the Department of Agriculture in particular, telling us, nay hectoring us about what we should eat at school. Then those pesky free market, free thinking food lobbyists ruined everything by offering us a choice of food we actually like to eat. What’s next, mom slipping a Twinkie into little Johnny’s lunch box thereby flaunting DoA’s prime directive?

When will we learn to just shut up and do what the lifetime bureaucrats and know-it-alls in Washington D.C. tell us to do? After all, any group that can run a country 17 TRILLION DOLLARS into debt certainly should be able to tell us all what we have to eat. Ahhh, but it’s for the children. Yeah, and they are our children NOT THE GOVERNMENT’s.

If obesity is a problem for recruiting, do what the military has been doing for the last 20 or so years in the name of social engineering and diversity, simply lower the standards and then ignore the results.

Bottom line: Like most Americans, I don’t need you, the Department of Agriculture or a First Lady who could stand to trim a few pounds and inches off her own ample backside dictating to me what I should be feeding my family.

Stream of thought on Boston:

Quick question for LB and Eric the wad Holder, are the events in Boston terrorism or workplace violence?

So, LB, is al Qaeda still on the run?

LB promised to bring the perps of the Boston massacre to justice. I know the perps of the Benghazi attacks are laughing their butts off at that one. But then he also promised that the sequester would “never happen.” Still, the only one in jail for the Benghazi attacks is an innocent film maker.

Was Eric the wad Holder running another Fast & Dumb@$$ operation that sold explosives to al Qaeda so it could track them but then never bothered to track them? No really, sadly, I think that someone should ask the question: Was this another DoJ sting operation that went bad?

Is Janet Incompetetano rounding up recently discharged veterans? Like the Ft. Wayne local fish wrap, we know Incompetentano considers veterans a likely source of domestic violence and terror.

Is al Qaeda a bigger threat to the US than the NRA, the Boy Scouts or the Catholic Church? Before yesterday, reading any lapdog media outlet, you’d think the NRA was the biggest threat to national security since Khrushchev put missiles in Cuba. Other than the NRA, is anyone catching more flack than the Boy Scouts and the Catholic Church? You’d think Wayne LaPierre, the Boston area Boy Scout Council and Boston’s Cardinal O’Malley would be the chief suspects in all of this. According to the lapdogs, who has more hate in their hearts?

Are the events in Boston more important than homosexuals being allowed to get married?

What most of this indicates is that the federal government tends to concern itself with easy feel good things while pretty much ignoring the tough things like terrorism.
