.....happened to me, Maw, so I figured if they are all going to call my jiffy anyway, I might as well just be jiffygirl! Of course, it's me - jfrgirl.

It took my login and it has been a long time since I have been around here.
I havn't posted much on Iwon for awhile, although I read it several times a week. I hope this board doesn't degenerate into the same atmosphere that Iwon did.
News---my son has switched his F16s for a job as a liasion officer for the Air Force Academy. He also is on with a commerical airline.
Seeing some of your pics is really going to make being a complete asshole hard. Maw looks like such a sweet, pleasant woman....its going to take everything I have to "stay the course"

I like having the pics. It adds to the overall atmosphere if you ask me.
I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.

Ok, that brings back the question did jfrgirl really come back, or is it just some joker who posted on an old link. A pretty good job of finding one with no message in the body.
Why did someone go back to a thread started in 2007 and post in it?
If you go back and look at who made the first post in this thread to bring it back to the top, you'll know who did it. The "why" will probably always remain a mystery, as she has chosen to delete whatever response she used to bump it up.

If you are referring to me Barb, I said I don't know what happened that brought up 2007. I did post a post and this site came up. I don't know what happened but it wasn't anything sinister. Sorry!!

Do you mean my usual bitchy self that I was when Bush was prez and you agreed with me on almost everything; or do you mean my usual bitchy self that I am now that Obama is prez and you don't agree with me on anything?

Gee Barb by your own admission there's just no making you happy.
Before everyone gets in a huff... "for cryin' out loud... it's a joke people, lighten up."
The instant the news broke that a soldier with a Muslim name shot up the base at Ft. Hood the Council on American-Islamic Relations wasted no time and issued a loud and vigorous denunciation of the mass murders. The Council didn't know whether Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged shooter, was a Muslim by birth, a converted Muslim, or even a Muslim at all. The name and the horrific murder spree was enough to drive the group to quickly distance itself from the rampage. Other Muslim organizations instantly followed suit and issued their own equally strong disavowal of Hasan.
They were wise to do so. Though anti-Muslim hate crimes and anti-Muslim hysteria have leveled off somewhat since the September 11 terror attacks, Muslims still routinely get the blame for anything that even remotely smacks of a terrorism act.
Hasan's alleged Ft. Hood bloodbath is no different. The pack of shrill rightist bloggers and talk radio chatterers jumped all over the shooting and gleefully fanned anti-Muslim passions. It didn't take much to get the anti-Muslim hate juices flowing. A legion of writers on websites spewed the ritual anti-Muslim slurs, profanities, and insults at Hasan and Muslims.
President Obama saw the danger of anti-Muslim fear mongering, and tried to head it off at the pass. He quickly admonished the public not to rush to judgment about the shooting and the shooter. Obama took a page from Clinton and Bush's playbook when mob hysteria was building after the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building in 1996 and the 9/11 attacks. Clinton and Bush cautioned the public not to finger point at Muslims for the attacks.
The Oklahoma City bombing was the handiwork of Timothy McVeigh, a loose screw, red-blooded American fanatic. The 9/11 attackers were mostly Saudi nationals. Yet, that still didn't stop the murmurs, and finger pointing at, and bashing of all Muslims.
That's no surprise. American Muslims have been the repeated targets of verbal digs, physical assaults, and profiling. They are just too inviting a scapegoat for the fears and frustrations many American have over two failed and flawed wars, a moribund Middle East peace process, and even more frightening to many is the increasing presence of Muslims in their neighborhood, in schools, and work places, especially when wearing Muslim attire.
Obama's admonition and the absence of self-serving, anti-Muslim inflammatory antics or statements by elected officials, as well as the army brass's bending over backward to tamp down any talk that Hasan's act was anything more than the crazed act of an over-the-edge military guy took the edge off the mob stirrings.
But that may not be enough to totally still the murmurs about alleged Muslim conspiracies and anti-American terrorist plots in the coming days. The repeated media loop of a witness' claim that Hasan allegedly shouted Allah Akbar, the Muslim impassioned cry, is prima facie proof for some people of a darker Muslim conspiracy afoot.
In an interview a Palestinian cousin of Hasan's hinted that anti-Muslim taunts may have driven him to commit carnage. While there's not a scintilla of proof to back this charge up, it's still more than enough to set the mindless and the gullible off to the races about the Muslim peril to America.
The Council of American-Islamic Relations then had good reason to rush out their statement denouncing Hasan's alleged murder spree. However, even that won't be enough to convince the hate Muslim crowd that Hasan's bloody assault had nothing to do with Muslim fanaticism but simply one man's going off the murderous deep end. Those types, we've learned to our sorrow, come in all shapes, sizes and religions.

My last post went back to the old board for 07. I don't know what is going on.
