Bhutto Should Be Warning Enough

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

BOGOTA, Colombia - Former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt embraced her children for the first time in six years Thursday, saying the thought of them helped her stay alive until a daring rescue plucked her and 14 other hostages from the jungle.

This time Ingrid Betancourt, you’d better stay out of politics or you will end up like Benazir Bhutto. She didn’t listen to America’s puppet Musharrf, and off she went into the wild blue yonder. If these CIA sponsored guerrillas get their hands on you again, you’ll not live to see another sunrise. Let Benazir Bhutto be warning enough.

U.S. Military Full of Drug Users

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has revised its policy for recruits who must get waivers for past bad behavior, but officials stopped short of eliminating waiver requirements for petty crimes, The Associated Press has learned.

Roughly half of Marine recruits require waivers to join, largely because more than a third of recruits require a waiver for previous drug use.

Officials have now decided to create four waiver categories for major misconduct, misconduct, traffic offenses and non-traffic offenses. Under the new policy, each branch of the armed forces will set its own guidelines on what behavior requires a waiver, as long as it can assign each offense to one of the four categories.

Considering how U.S. troops have pillaged, raped, and murdered women and children in Iraq, the four categories might read like this:

1. No convicted serial killers.
2. No one who has been convicted of molesting a child under the age of three (Clergy exception).
3. No one who has opposed America’s Auschwitz–Abu Ghraib.
4. No one who has or knows someone who has voiced dissatisfaction with Bush or Cheney.

Exciting and Fulfilling Day

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Dear Bobby W. Miller

I would like very much to thank you. I wasn’t expecting to hear from you, and most certainly wasn’t expecting you to write an in-depth letter answering my questions. But the biggest surprise of all was you asking my opinion on the status quo knowing I’m gay. Here’s your answer.

I never feel threatened or disgusted when I see two men or two women holding hands in an adoring way, so long as they are considerate of the non-gays who might be present. But I feel extreme fear and nausea on encountering bathroom queers like Senator Larry Craig and mass murderers wearing Christian smiles on their faces and flags in their lapels like George W. Bush and Richard Cheney. But the worst feeling of all is the apathy I feel on hearing that a Bush/Cheney supporter lost a loved one in Iraq. That a tornado or flood wiped out everything they had worked for all their lives. While it’s abundantly clear they take no responsibility for the lives they’ve destroyed, I lay it right at their doorstep and say, ‘Serves you right hypocrite.’ I’m I wrong?

Dear Mr. Carlos Sanchez:

Are you wrong? I’m sure Larry Craig, Bush and Cheney, and their supporters would unanimously agree that you’re wrong. I, on the other hand, feel about these people you mentioned as I did a religious nut I worked with. He showed up on my porch one day and said that he had decided to kill himself, but didn’t have a gun. He asked to borrow mine. I went inside, put two shells in a double barrel shotgun and gave it to him. He pulled both hammers back, put it in his mouth and pulled both triggers. I called the cops and, after they got what was left of this guy off my porch, I washed it down. I then took my wife out to lunch and a movie. Came home and made love. All and all, it was a very exciting and fulfilling day.

Respectfully,
Bobby W. Miller

Who Is Mike Singletary?

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

People are a lot like public corporations. Some look a lot better on paper than they do in real life when you start digging. For instance, take Mike Singletary (of Baylor University and Chicago Bears fame) and me as examples. I was a disappointment as a son, student, husband, father, and soldier.

Then there’s Mike Singletary, who as a small boy had a lot of hurdles to overcome. He did and moved on.

As the story goes, Coach Taff, at Baylor always had a private meeting with his new players. In this meeting he’d ask the same question that he had been asking for years. “What do you want to accomplish by playing for Baylor?”

The answers from the young men would range from, “I want to be an all-American.” to “I want to score ten touchdowns against those Texas Longhorns.” There was one answer, however, that Coach Taff said he would never forget. “I want to make a positive contribution.”

That was Mr. Singletary’s answer.

To my knowledge, he has made a positive contribution everywhere he has gone since that day in the Coach’s office. He made 662 tackles in his Baylor career. In 1978, he made an incredible 232 stops, 127 of them solo. In 1979, there were 188; and in 1980, he was in on 145 tackles. In a game against Arkansas, Singletary made 33 stops; against Alabama, he made 30; and against Ohio State, 31. He was the SWC’s Defensive Player of the Year for three straight years.

In his NFL career, Singletary was selected in the second round by the Chicago Bears in the 1981 draft. In his first season, he was NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. In his 12 years with the Chicago Bears, he become one of the all-time greats, having a Hall of Fame career starting 172 straight games and leading one of the greatest defenses of all time in 1985.

I was a little slow on the uptake, Mike, but I saw the example.

Warmongers Have A New Plan

Friday, May 30th, 2008

WASHINGTON - Gaining ground this political season is a proposed League of Democracies designed to strengthen support for the next president’s overseas agenda and ensure a global leadership role for the United States.

John McCain, the virtually certain Republican presidential nominee, has endorsed the concept of a new global compact of more than 100 democratic countries to advance shared views and has discussed the idea with French and British leaders.

“It could act where the U.N. fails to act,” he said last month, and pressure tyrants “with or without Moscow’s and Beijing’s approval.”

Analysts at think tanks in Washington and elsewhere envision a league focused on maintaining peace and limiting U.S. military intervention, such as the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

“Maintaining peace and limiting U.S. intervention”. What a bunch of crap. Here we go again. Just because the tyrants in Washington, London, and Canberra are not getting their way 100% of the time, these fascists have a new plan that’s being touted to do one thing but in truth does the exact opposite. Okay, US, UK, and Australia, go to it. Let us see how well you do when Red China, North Vietnam, North Korea, Russia, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Cuba, and Venezuela, just to mention a few, set up their own League of Nations. I mean we’re not doing all that well against a few goat herders in Iraq as it is, and we got our butts kicked up around our necks by the North Vietnamese. To all who want to follow this old fool McCain into WWIII, you just might want to reflect on the fact that he didn’t do very well as a warrior. He lost his aircraft, got captured, and then failed miserably to comply with Article III of the United States Code of Military Conduct by lying like a worm and singing like a bird in a POW camp for years.

Eisenhower Republican Is Not An Excuse

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Even though I have spent every dime I could get my hands on since 1976 campaigning against the Bush dynasty, I do sincerely apologize for George W. Bush, the worst president in the history of this country. And I hope that after he leaves office, our country will once again make understanding, principles, and character its first line of defense because as we now know, jet fighters and aircraft carriers are no match for hatred.

I believe it is important for our youth to know that when these Nixon through Bush Republicans talk about being conservative, they are talking about others being conservative. When they talk about being pro-life, they are talking about their and their children’s’ lives. They have proven beyond a doubt in Iraq that they care nothing about the lives of others, let alone the welfare of our country.

I’m an Eisenhower Republican, and I have nothing in common with these Nixon through Bush hypocrites who condemn abortion and then cut the funding of every program that cares for these unwanted children and their mothers. In the last eight years, while claiming to be pro-life they have needlessly slaughtered a million people, 4,500 of them young Americans. Their claims of wanting less government and being conservative are equally hypocritical. The $3 trillion proposed spending in 2009 by George W. Bush would be the first time that milestone has been reached. Bush also presided over the first budget to hit $2 trillion in 2002. It took the government nearly 200 years to reach the first $1 trillion budget, which occurred in 1987 during the Reagan administration.

Now that the moment of glory has passed and the long years of blood, sweat and tears are upon us, they will — according to plan — take their spoils and move on, leaving the rest of us to bury the dead and balance the checkbook.

Think about it… $30 million dollars and instant naturalization given to an Arab who provided the whereabouts of Saddam’s sons in order that Bush, Blair and the major armed forces of the world could at least find someone or something, if not WMD. Yet, these people sing, “We do not negotiate with terrorists”. If the cash that has been paid to terrorists in Iraq by the Bush Administration was published, it would destroy the illusion we have accomplished anything after eight long years of war in Iraq. We have paid dearly in blood and cash for every second of calm.

I am grateful for the many invitations to join the Democratic Party, but Ill stick it out here because running from evil is like running from a bear–it only serves to encourage the bear’s aggression.

Looking Through UK Eyes

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

On the face of it, we and the Americans get along just fine. We share similar values, we’re traditionally aligned politically and we just can’t get enough of McDonalds and US sitcoms. In fact, when it comes down to the crunch, we’re not that different after all…right?

Well, not exactly. While we might seem best buddies, there’s actually quite a bit we disagree on, particularly in politics and culture. While our leaders might be quick to show appreciation and build relationships, there’s an unspoken feeling of resentment against America that’s been bubbling for quite some time.

Britain has moved on since imperialism, and we’re more equipped than ever to deal with the challenges faced in modern society. Accepting and respecting other cultures is the name of the game, and gradually these changing social attitudes will help undo the damage inflicted by the war in Iraq.

Britain is a proud land of heritage and culture, but we’re not afraid to embrace a multicultural society and celebrate our melting pot of backgrounds, experiences and understandings. Things just work over here, and we accept those that are different to ourselves, even though the rest of the world might think we’re uptight.

One thing we don’t admire is the jingoist, retentive notion of culture that seems to be all the rage in the States. Our children are brought up to survive in a modern world where immigration and integration are a key focus of what it means to be British, rather than outdated, unhelpful nationalism. Across the pond, it appears to be a different story. While there’s nothing wrong with a bit of pride in one’s heritage, it’s also important to encourage our children to integrate and ‘get along’ with other sectors of society – a concept that seems alien to the US authorities.

When it comes to foreign policy, we’re worlds apart. The British people don’t support war in any form – we’re much more liberal and genuinely accepting of other cultures and interests. Despite the Iraq fiasco, we prefer to follow rather than lead on the international force front. But not the Americans. The Americans are far more gung-ho, out to deliver justice to the world whatever the cost. Whether or not we stereotype, we think of the US as one of the major threats to international security we’re currently facing – who’s next on the hit list, George? There’s still time for one last hoorah!

So here’s our message. Ditch the crusade, get with the times, and celebrate the world in which we live. To the rest of the world, America is like the finicky uncle with outmoded conservative values that are now completely irrelevant. Modernise your view on the world and start to win back the respect lost by Iraq and other miscellaneous foreign policy catastrophes. It’s not that the British don’t like America, rather we’re just completely different now, and growing further apart by the second. Don’t worry - it’s nothing personal.

This article was written by Nick Carter (nom de plume) of the United Kingdom. Author Bob Miller had asked Carter for his opinion of how the average citizen of the United Kingdom viewed George W. Bush’ new America. Both Carter and Miller served in the US military in Vietnam. Carter is British while Miller is an American.

McCain Needed

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Other than giving McCain money, I’m not sure what else to do; but Americans need at least four more years of the George H.W. Bush gang to learn a most important lesson. This is not tongue-in-cheek. I mean every word of it. I do not want the idiots who supported Bush and his lies to benefit from Barack Obama’s visions and love of country. I would much rather see the United States slide into a 1929 type of depression. Americans have grown fat, arrogant, and heartless, and nothing known to science can cure that mentality better than total humiliation and severe depression. The suicides of Generation X would make the 4,000 dead soldiers look even more insignificant than they already are.

1929-depression.jpg
I read where the deaths of the 4,000 plus young Americans in Iraq had been very hard on the country. What hogwash; the polls show that the troops are page two news. Another 4,000 can die today and they would still be nothing more than collateral damage. Talk about hypocrisy–who was this lost sheep whose body was found months after being killed in Iraq, whose funeral was in a sports stadium, and who had a three-star general show up to eulogize him? Talk about a photo op, a dog and pony show. Let us all watch to see if the next guy killed in Iraq gets the same television coverage, but don’t hold your breath.

Snake Sunday

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

While working in the back alleys and sewers of the US federal government requires one to do a lot of ungodly things, there are times when having a license to kill gives you a feeling of being godlike. Going through some boxes in storage, I found a letter from an associate of mine who shared this interesting story with me about one of his off-duty jobs.

Dear Bob: Since I had nothing in particular to do until my next assignment, I decided to tour the Appalachian Mountains, having heard you talk so much about the beautiful scenery and the people in this area being more comical than a barrel of monkeys.

On the second day of my road trip I ended up in the middle of a fierce summer storm. The two lane road I was on was a sightseer’s delight but very dangerous even without the downpour, so the road sign announcing a town two miles ahead was a welcome sight.

My plan was to get a needed haircut, eat some home cooking as advertised on the window of the restaurant across the street from a barbershop, find a room for the night, and leave the first thing the next day. That plan changed suddenly in the barbershop when the only other customer started asking me a lot of questions about things that went beyond shoptalk. Actually it was not the questions that earned this guy my undivided attention. It was his statement about my silk shirt. “If’n I had to guess, I’d guess you’d be the only man in these here parts wearing silk. Men folks in these here mountains leave that material to the womens”, the guy said.

I didn’t acknowledge the statement, but I did start asking him a lot of questions that were not shoptalk either, because I had decided to stay in this quaint little town long enough to kill this moron. Within minutes I had learned more about him than he could have learned about me in ten years. With a smirk on his face, he told me not only how to kill him, but where to do it. This mental midget was a snake-handling Pentecostal preacher.

As you well know, Bob, my accomplices would be the American taxpayers and Ed in operations. I had to suck up to this guy by attending several of his church services, but that worked out really well. The preacher had a daughter who was extraordinary in four ways–she was beautiful, young, a nymphomaniac, and, like everyone else I had met in this town, incredibly stupid.

It would be on this preacher’s birthday that I gave him a gift of a Dendroaspis Polylepis. The snake, according to Ed, cost the taxpayers about $5,000 to buy and ship. But as you well know, American tax payers are super nice people to work for; they seldom complain about how much we spend or what we spend it on.

I was totally up front with my preacher friend. I informed him that many herpetologists consider the Dendroaspis Polylepis to be one of the deadliest snakes in the world. It is extremely aggressive, fast, and seldom delivers a dry bit. As expected, this Christian moron informed me that Jesus was by his side and not to worry. Like the millions and millions who have died counting on this mythology-born savor to protect them, this Holy Roller was bitten several times and died within hours of opening my gift.”

Interesting Video but a bit long in my opinion.

While Watching the Pope, God Showed Up

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

“With pomp and grandeur you parade your selection of omnipotence pass where I stand to center stage as if I were not there. What has this little boy of Mine done that warrants you kneeling and honoring him so? You carefully adjust his robe and provide him with nourishment leaving me to look after Myself.

“Today I waited for you to give this holy one of yours a handful of dirt and ask him to make you a child or even a mustard seed out of it. What has this holy man done that you have witnessed that I haven’t?

“Is it possible that I was asleep when he cured a cripple or gave sight to one who was blind? Time after time you embellish and even create deeds so you can make these religious icons of yours saints. Why do you do that when I have given you an everlasting Saint from My very own blood? Could it be that my Son and I are no longer worthy of your trust and you have decided to create your own rescuer? Okay. I will allow it. But it is for you to know that the one you are kneeling and praising is the one you are to go to in your next moment of fear. My Son and I are curious how those of you without worldly status propose to tell this holy man of yours about your needs and wants in the middle of the night as you do with Us, but We sincerely hope it works out for the two of you.”

I replied, “God, no newspaper will publish this story should that be Your goal. They’ll not even sell me space to publish it.”

To my surprise God said, “That’s understandable since the media is nothing but a political conduit. To the Catholics’ credit, they don’t build sexual concentration camps like the Mormons do. And sadly, these two cults are just as holy as the rest of them. You go ahead and write about our meeting, and you just might be shocked at how many decent people will publish it. There are not quite as many hypocrites in the world as you believe, Bob.”

Footnote: Over a million people lined the sidewalks of America for hours on hours in hopes of getting a glimpse of this Pope, the leader of a vicious gang of pedophiles and homosexuals. A gang that has spent over $450 million dollars in the United States alone in fees, fines and settlements for their ungodly deeds. The unknown damage done by the female side of this organization to little girls has been avoided by all in hopes this disgusting event will somehow go away. It might be worth noting that these degenerates are paying for all of this out of monies that people have given the church to carry on God’s work.

Who am I? I’m that little boy who a priest sat on his desk and then unzipped his pants at the St. Florian School in St. Florian, Alabama. Have I sued the church? No, and I don’t intend to. I don’t want money that was given to the church by a multitude of people worse off than I am. But that sure hasn’t stopped all these other good, God fearing Christians and their attorneys from grabbing it. These damn hypocrites on both sides make me gag.

Interesting Video but a bit long in my opinion.

Mythology Alive and Well

Friday, April 18th, 2008

We print pictures of George Washington on our money, we hang his picture in our state and federal buildings, and throughout our school systems we teach the history of George Washington. Yet, when the Continental Army under George Washington was deserting because they had little food, arms, and the situation looked as if it couldn’t get much worse, it was not Washington, Adams, Franklin or Jefferson who provided the faith and money needed to carry on–it was Thomas Paine.

Why then is Mr. Paine not honored and loved by every American who ever lived? That’s an easy question. He spoke out against Christianity. “When also I am told that a woman called the Virgin Mary, said, or gave out, that she was with child without any cohabitation with a man, and that her betrothed husband, Joseph, said that an angel told him so, I have a right to believe them or not; such a circumstance required a much stronger evidence than their bare word for it; but we have not even this — for neither Joseph nor Mary wrote any such matter themselves; it is only reported by others that they said so — it is hearsay upon hearsay, and I do not choose to rest my belief upon such evidence.

“It is, however, not difficult to account for the credit that was given to the story of Jesus Christ being the son of God. He was born when the heathen mythology had still some fashion and repute in the world, and that mythology had prepared the people for the belief of such a story. Almost all the extraordinary men that lived under the heathen mythology were reputed to be the sons of some of their gods. It was not a new thing, at that time, to believe a man to have been celestially begotten; the intercourse of gods with women was then a matter of familiar opinion. Their Jupiter, according to their accounts, had cohabited with hundreds: the story, therefore, had nothing in it either new, wonderful, or obscene; it was conformable to the opinions that then prevailed among the people called Gentiles, or Mythologists, and it was those people only that believed it. The Jews who had kept strictly to the belief of one God, and no more, and who had always rejected the heathen mythology, never credited the story.” (ushistory.org/paine/reason/reason2.htm)

The ages can come and go but the belief that the Christian god swooped down and humped Mary, the wife of a carpenter named Joseph, giving the world a savor named Jesus will endure. Now any woman who believes this fairytale has only to try and tell the world that she’s pregnant and it wasn’t her husband who got her pregnant, it was God. Likewise, the husband who returns three days late from a fishing trip with the story that he spent that time in the belly of a whale will not find his Christian brothers and sisters rushing to hear his witness unless, of course, they’re psychiatrists. The reported deeds of the gods of the Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and Christians will endure because these celestial beings provide society with a very important service. They bring together those in need of wool and those in need of shearing. Although I deeply respect men like Thomas Paine and Mahatma Gandhi, I see most of their heartaches needless. These religious cults are going to do what they were set up to do by their very human gods–wage wars against each other irrespective of logic. In my later years, I have come to realize that the third party position is much safer and extremely profitable. One need only supply these cults with weapons, stir the pot of hatred, and sit back, enjoy the profits and watch the believers slaughter each other.

Interesting Video but a bit long in my opinion.

Pure Fantasy

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

FRESNO, Calif. AP - Forced to leave the combat zone after his two brothers died in the Iraq war, Army Spc. Jason Hubbard faced another battle once he returned home: The military cut off his family’s health care, stopped his G.I. educational subsidies and wanted him to repay his sign-up bonus.

With the installation of an AWOL nerd in the Oval Office, a reincarnation of a vulgar sub-human like Himmler sitting in the Vice President’s office, and their four star butt boy in charge of the military, any expectations of winning a war and/or maintaining an ounce of dignity and integrity is pure fantasy.

An Unruly Child Can Take You Places

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

A cheerleader and her friends in Lakeland, Florida beat up a fellow student after seeing an alleged ‘trash talking’ MySpace post.

Parents have been asking for this type of behavior from their offspring for years now, and like it or not, they now must pick up the phone and call an attorney. Then it’s off to the courthouse, and if you’ve never experienced this demeaning, humiliating, and most expensive endeavor, you’re doing something right.

Current law (H.B. 755 122nd General Assembly) defines “unruly child” to include any child:

Who does not subject himself or herself to the reasonable control of his or her parents, teachers, guardian, or custodian, by reason of the child being wayward or habitually disobedient. 2. Who is an habitual truant from home or school. - Who so deports himself or herself as to injure or endanger his or her health or morals or the health or morals of others. 3. Who attempts to marry without parental consent or the consent of the child’s custodian, or legal guardian or other legal authority. 4. Who is found in a disreputable place, visits or patronizes a place prohibited by law, or associates with vagrant, vicious, criminal, notorious, or immoral persons. 5. Who engages in an occupation prohibited by law or is in a situation dangerous to life or limb or injurious to his or her health or morals or the health or morals of others.

On a recent visit to the Smithsonian, my Significant Other and I had to wait in line to view the Declaration of Independence. I assume it’s the original, but I’d put nothing pass the US government. The Bush family might have the original hanging in one of their homes, and the one we saw came from a print shop in Communist China or Taiwan. Anyway, there was this family of four in front of us. The two children were boys that I would guess were between eleven and fourteen years of age. The parents, I suspect, were above average income professionals. It’s strictly a guess, but I’d bet the money I’ve put back for lunch at McDonalds, all $300 of it, that at least one of them, if not both had an MD or PhD.

One of the boys was upset with his father and kept hitting him in the back with his fist. When he didn’t get the response he wanted, he’d hit his Dad harder. It hurt, it had to hurt. Just before I ripped one of the kid’s ear off, his Dad lightly punched the boy back. This kid sits down in the floor and slides on his butt as the line slowly moved, refusing to walk. The other boy, not to be outdone, gets down and ties his mother’s shoe laces together as we all watched. While he was doing this I heard my voice say, “Unbelievable.”

The mother looked at me and asked, “You wouldn’t want two boys, would you?”

I looked at her smiling face, and it helped to dilute at least some of the contempt I felt for her and her husband so I replied, “They wouldn’t last long with me.” Nothing else was said.

Developing Self Esteem Series 1-3

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Tips for building self-esteem Self-esteem is a personality ingredient that one has to have and if possible in great amounts. That is not to say that a person need to be extremely sure of oneself to the point of arrogance; they just need enough amounts to be able to withstand the pressures of life and lead a contented existence.

Developing Self Esteem During Childhood The building of self-esteem starts in childhood. This means that as parents you have a responsibility to help your son or daughter to have a healthy self-image of him or herself. A healthy self-image is the cornerstone of good self-esteem.

How important is self-esteem in a child’s development? Developing self-esteem during childhood is very crucial. This is because it could affect the child in every stages of his or her development. How he looks at him or herself will definitely affect his or her future relationships, career development, confidence, prosperity and even happiness. Studies have shown that one of the traits happy people share is having a positive self-image of themselves.

Building Self Esteem Among Teens Someone once said that people are products of society. This is true because outside the home, friends influence the person and this could either mean doing some good or bad things.

In the end, whatever happens outside comes back into the home. Teachers will probably talk to the parents to update the his or her development in the school. The worse can scenario is being called to the precinct to pick up the teen.

If Alabama Bridges Could Talk

Friday, April 4th, 2008

In the rough and tumble of Alabama politics, the scramble for power is often a blood sport. Karl Rove in a successful series of campaigns to get Republicans elected to Alabama’s state courts. 

Karl Rove and Richard Shelby are both considered American patriots in my home state of Alabama. That’s not surprising since inbreeding has reduced the brains of Alabama voters to the extent they believed the racist George C. Wallace was none other than Jesus Christ who had returned to save them from Satan who was responsible for their incest and bigotry.

Talk about hypocrisy. When I was growing up in Florence, Alabama, you couldn’t have found a home that didn’t have a picture of George C. Wallace and the Last Supper in it. After dragging some black guy behind their pickup truck or throwing him off a bridge, they’d come home to supper and sit under this picture and say a prayer asking for more blacks to put to work in their cotton fields and to use for target practice.

I’ll never forget fishing under the O’Neal Bridge and watching as some guys threw a young black man off of it. He hit the water and skipped like a flat rock. I started up our little Johnson outboard motor to go to the area where the guy had hit. My stepfather asked, "What do think you’re doing? You mess with this, and tomorrow you’ll be thrown off of some bridge." To my stepfather’s credit, he thought it was okay for blacks to play professional sports, "Just so long as they stay in their place." I asked what place was that, but he didn’t bother to say. A few days later, a deputy sheriff on hearing about this KKK event advised me, using many of the same words that my stepfather had used absent of any concern for my welfare, to avoid becoming known as a, Nigger lover.

Bob Miller was shot down twice in Vietnam (1968 and 1969). He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal. Miller is a 100% service connected disabled veteran. He ran for a seat in the US Senate in 1992.
